Chapter 55
"Mago, what is that? Such lowly meat, is it something people should eat?"
The young man in luxurious clothes, his face pale, pointed at the meat stall, his voice somewhat sharp.
Especially the pig offal on the stall, with a faint odor wafting over, almost making him vomit.
Following his finger, Mago saw he was pointing at the pork stall and couldn't help but feel helpless.
At this moment, the entire Grand Bazaar was silent.
As for the meat stall owner, he was already shivering with fear, his sturdy body trembling, almost wanting to hide under the stall.
The young man in luxurious clothes was clearly a noble from somewhere.
Even Lord Ma had to humble himself, let alone a rural pork seller who couldn't afford to offend him.
"Young Master Wei, this is the countryside. Naturally, these poor people can't afford good things," Mago said with a forced smile.
"You are a noble, it's natural that you can't stand such filth. Let's move over there to avoid dirtying your eyes.""I've already had the house cleaned up. You can move in at any time."
"Then let's go quickly. If I stay any longer, I might faint!"
The young man in luxurious clothes covered his nose and mouth, his face full of disdain, and hurried forward.
Mago quickly followed.
As for the guards of the young man in luxurious clothes, they hadn't said a word from beginning to end, and their expressions hadn't changed much.
After the young man in luxurious clothes and his entourage left, it was a while before the people in the Grand Bazaar dared to move again.
Lu Qing also emerged from the crowd.
He watched the direction in which the young man in luxurious clothes and his entourage left, lost in thought.
This young man in luxurious clothes was clearly a noble from the city.
It was his first time encountering a city noble, and indeed, he had quite an air about him.
Even the few guards following him were not to be trifled with.
Although Lu Qing hadn't used his abilities to probe their backgrounds, he could sense that each of those guards was much stronger than him.
None of them were likely below the Internal Organs Realm.
He wondered about the background of this young man, who had such powerful guards.
Originally, he had wanted to approach Mago, but it seemed there was no opportunity today.
Lu Qing decided to continue his shopping at the Grand Bazaar, buying more food to take home, as their rice, flour, and meat had almost run out.
As for salt, they still had plenty; his master had bought a large bag last time he went to the city, enough to last until next year.
While Lu Qing was happily shopping, on the other side, Mago, who had just arranged for the young man in luxurious clothes and his entourage to move in, walked out of the house with a bitter expression.
He had never expected that the young master of the Wei family would suddenly appear in his small place.
The key was that he had to greet him with a smile.
Otherwise, if the clan found out that he had not properly entertained the young master of the Wei family, he would be in serious trouble.
But this young master of the Wei family was notoriously arrogant and difficult to serve in the city.
If he could avoid it, he wouldn't want to be associated with such a little tyrant.
Good hospitality wouldn't earn him any merit, and poor hospitality would bring a lot of trouble.
Most importantly, if anything happened to the young master while he was here, even the clan wouldn't be able to protect him.
Despite his unwillingness, Mago had no choice.
He could only pray that the young master would quickly find what he wanted and leave.
Otherwise, the longer he stayed, the more Mago would worry.
Filled with gloom, Mago headed to the Grand Bazaar.
He needed to handle some things there quickly, like temporarily stopping the sale of chickens, ducks, and pork, to avoid offending the cleanliness-obsessed young master.
Upon arriving at the Grand Bazaar, the first thing Mago did was head to the pork stall.
The fat man who ran the stall was usually very respectful to him, so he decided to let him take a break.
"Young man, look here, today's pork is especially good. Which piece would you like? I'll give you a discount."
Before Mago reached the pork stall, he heard this sentence.
He was curious. The fat man was usually stingy when selling meat. Although he wouldn't shortchange anyone, he wouldn't cut even a bit more than a pound. Why had he suddenly become generous today?
Then he saw a young man with a bamboo basket standing in front of the stall, choosing meat.
The figure looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was.
As Mago was still pondering, he saw the young man with the bamboo basket stand up and point at the meat on the stall.
"Boss, I want this piece, the biggest one."
Finally, Mago saw the young man's side profile and remembered who he was.
He was the young man who had claimed to be the apprentice of Doctor Chen last month!
Seeing Lu Qing, Mago recalled some things.
More than half a month ago, Lu Qing had come to the Grand Bazaar and bought a lot of things, claiming to be Doctor Chen's apprentice.
Afterward, Mago had sent his men to investigate in Jiuli Village.
It turned out the young man hadn't lied; he was indeed learning from Doctor Chen.
This made Mago curious, and he had been pondering how to get closer to Lu Qing.
However, after that visit, Lu Qing had not appeared at the Grand Bazaar again.
This had rendered all of Mago's preparations useless.
Given his status, he couldn't actively go to Jiuli Village to approach Lu Qing; otherwise, anyone could tell he had ulterior motives.
He had thought the opportunity was lost, but now, Lu Qing had reappeared.
Mago was delighted, and he temporarily forgot the troubles brought by the young master of the Wei family.
He walked up and said, "Young Lu, long time no see."
Lu Qing, who was watching the boss cut his chosen piece of meat, turned his head upon hearing this. Seeing Mago, he was surprised.
Wasn't this the person accompanying the noble from the city? Why was he here?
But Lu Qing quickly reacted and smiled, "Ah, it's Lord Ma. Long time no see."
At this moment, Mago got a good look at Lu Qing's current appearance.
He was stunned.
Compared to more than half a month ago, Lu Qing had changed significantly.
The last time Lu Qing came to the Grand Bazaar, he was thin, his face pale, and his clothes were patched.
He had looked like a typical poor rural boy.
This was one of the reasons why Mago had sent his men to investigate in Jiuli Village.
In his opinion, if Lu Qing was truly Doctor Chen's apprentice, he shouldn't be living so poorly.
But now, although Lu Qing's clothes hadn't changed much, his physical condition had improved greatly.
He was no longer thin, stood tall and straight, with a healthy complexion and bright eyes.
More importantly, Mago could faintly sense the surging energy within Lu Qing.
A Qi and Blood Realm warrior?!
Mago's heart was filled with shock.
