I Can See Through Everything

Mago felt extremely unlucky.

At this moment, he was lying in a pit in the forest, covered with thick fallen leaves.

At first glance, it was impossible to tell that there was a person hidden underneath.

But Mago did not dare to be careless, as he knew that the people hunting him in the mountains were all martial arts experts, some of whom were no less skilled than he was.

A slight mistake could lead to discovery.

Once surrounded, even if he was familiar with the area, escape would be impossible.

"What on earth is this?"

Thinking of his recent experiences, Mago couldn't help but lament his misfortune.

The situation in the county had been tense recently, and it could erupt at any moment.

Worried, his family began to prepare for the worst by transferring some of their assets to the state capital.

A few days ago, he was assigned a task to escort some goods to the state capital.

After delivering the goods successfully, he decided to visit the Grand Bazaar to check on Xiao Tian and the others.

He informed the other family members and left the group.

In retrospect, Mago deeply regretted his decision.

He wanted to slap himself for foolishly deciding to visit the Grand Bazaar.

Now he had brought so much trouble upon himself.

Two days ago, after leaving the family group, he took a shortcut through the mountains to the Grand Bazaar.

While passing through a valley, a group of people suddenly emerged from the forest.

These people wore silver armor and exuded a murderous aura, forming a triangle to protect a woman and a young boy in the center.

The woman appeared injured, looking weary and unable to lift one arm.

When Mago saw the boy, he knew trouble was brewing.

He recognized the boy, as well as the silver-armored guards.

They were the Young Master Wei of the Wei family and his Silver Moon Guards.

Mago wanted to avoid them, but it was too late.

The boy saw him and shouted.

"Mago, what are you doing here?"

His shout immediately drew the attention of the silver-armored guards.

"Young Master, who is this?" the leader of the guards asked, his eyes sharp.

"Pang Guard, this is Mago of the Ma family. Last time I was injured, the guards from the mansion stayed at his place," the boy replied.

"Yes, Captain, we did stay at his place last time," one of the guards confirmed.

"Oh?"

Pang Guard's gaze softened slightly, but he remained vigilant.

Mago's presence here was too unusual.

If not for Mago's lack of strength and solitary presence, he would have suspected a deliberate ambush.

"We have temporarily evaded the pursuers. First, tend to the lady's injuries!" Pang Guard ordered.

Immediately, a guard took out some golden healing ointment for the boy to apply to the lady.

"Greetings, Young Master, Lady."

Seeing that Young Master Wei recognized him, Mago had no choice but to step forward and greet them.

Although he didn't know why these people were here, given the recent turmoil in the city and the bloodied state of the Silver Moon Guards, it was clear that he had seen something he shouldn't have.

Could it be that the city had finally erupted into conflict?

Would he be silenced?

Mago silently cursed his luck.

But now, even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't.

Each of the Silver Moon Guards was stronger than him, making escape impossible.

"Mago, why are you here?" Young Master Wei asked.

"I was on my way back to the Grand Bazaar and happened to run into you," Mago replied truthfully.

Just then, there was another noise from the forest, causing all the Silver Moon Guards to tense up.

"Captain, they've caught up!" a guard exclaimed.

"I know. The other side also has Internal Organs Realm experts. With the lady and the young master, we can't shake off their pursuit," Pang Guard sighed.

"What should we do? They outnumber us, and our battle formation can only hold for so long. Plus, the lady is injured and needs treatment soon," the guard said anxiously.

"Perhaps you should leave me behind and take An'er away," Lady Wei said, her face pale. "I'm the Wei family's matriarch. They want to capture me to threaten my husband. They won't kill me immediately."

"Mother!" Young Master Wei cried out.

"Absolutely not, Lady!" Pang Guard quickly said. "Protecting you is our mission. Unless all the Silver Moon Guards are dead, they won't touch a hair on your head!"

"But if I stay, everyone will eventually die in this forest. I can't drag everyone down because of me," Lady Wei insisted.

"There will be a way. Don't worry, Lady," Pang Guard reassured her.

But as the noise in the forest grew louder, his gaze swept around and landed on the quietly standing Mago.

"Young Master, can this person be trusted?" Pang Guard asked.

Young Master Wei was taken aback but then nodded. "Mago is reliable. He saved my life with his suggestion last time."

Pang Guard wasn't fully satisfied with this answer, but he had no other options.

Gritting his teeth, he turned to Mago. "Brother Mago, I have a request."

Mago, who had been playing it safe, felt a shiver. Forcing a smile, he asked, "What is it?"

"Please escort the lady and the young master to a safe place. The Wei family will reward you handsomely," Pang Guard said solemnly.

Everyone turned to look at Pang Guard.

Mago broke into a cold sweat. "Sir, you're joking. If even you can't protect them, how can someone like me in the Tendons and Bones Realm manage it?"

He had overheard the Silver Moon Guards' conversation and knew they were being pursued. He wanted to escape, not get involved in this mess.

"You have no choice. Those people are nearby. Without our help, you won't make it out of this forest. They are ruthless and will kill you on sight!" Pang Guard said.

Mago's face stiffened.

This was exactly what he feared.

If a whole squad of Silver Moon Guards was being hunted so relentlessly, the pursuers must be incredibly powerful.

If he encountered them, he would be dead without question.

He had witnessed how ruthless those people were in the county.

Now, outside the county with no restrictions, they would be even more unscrupulous.

"Sir, even if we split up, any of the Silver Moon Guards would be more suitable to protect the lady and the young master than me," Mago argued.

"That was possible before, but not now," Pang Guard shook his head. "We lost men earlier and can't spare anyone to protect the lady."

Thinking of this, Pang Guard's heart ached.

If not for the ambush, they wouldn't be in this situation, and he wouldn't have to entrust the lady and young master to an outsider.

Without the Silver Moon formation, facing so many strong enemies, they couldn't delay for long.

"Now, you have to help us hold off the pursuers so you can escape!" Pang Guard's eyes bore into Mago's. "Brother Mago, do you agree?"

Mago held his gaze for a while before finally smiling bitterly. "As you said, I have no choice."

"Brother Mago, I entrust the safety of the lady and the young master to you!"

Pang Guard knelt on one knee, pleading.

"Captain!"

"Pang Guard!"

The other Silver Moon Guards and Lady Wei's family were shocked.

Mago was equally stunned.

A strong Internal Organs Realm expert kneeling to a lowly Tendons and Bones Realm cultivator was unimaginable.

Seeing the earnestness in Pang Guard's eyes, Mago felt a surge of heroism.

"Rest assured, Sir Pang. I will protect the lady and the young master with my life!"

Recalling his bold words two days ago, Mago now wished he could slap himself.

What was the point of showing off? Now it seemed he really might lose his life.

After agreeing to escort Lady Wei and Young Master Wei, the Silver Moon Guards launched an attack, forming a battle formation to counter-ambush their pursuers.

The commotion quickly drew all the enemies in the forest.

Mago then carried Lady Wei and led Young Master Wei in a different direction.

However, they soon discovered that the perimeter was surrounded, leaving no way out.

Helplessly, Mago led them deeper into the mountains.

Fortunately, his years of hunting in the area had made him familiar with the terrain.

Using his knowledge, he managed to temporarily evade the pursuers.

But this left them hiding deep in the mountains, afraid to come out, unaware of the Silver Moon Guards' fate.

After hiding for a long time and seeing no movement in the forest, with the sky darkening, Mago decided to act.

Seeing no enemies but spotting a fat rabbit, the starving Mago couldn't resist. He leapt up, knocked out the rabbit, and caught it.

After dealing with the pit's traces, he headed toward a hidden cave.

"Who?" a wary voice called from inside.

"It's me."

Mago shook his head at Young Master Wei's reaction.

If it had been the enemy, his voice would have given away their position.

But considering the young master’s sheltered life, Mago held back his criticism.

"Mago, you're back?" Young Master Wei asked excitedly.

"Yes, how is the lady?"

"Mother is still unconscious and has a fever. Do you have any solutions?"

Young Master Wei's face filled with worry.

"I can't help," Mago shook his head. "Your mother's wound hasn't healed, she's lost a lot of blood, and has an infection, much like your condition before. I'm not a doctor; I can't cure her."

Lady Wei had been seriously injured during the escape. Though

they applied medicine, the lack of proper treatment had left her in a critical state by the time Mago found the cave.

"Like my condition?" Young Master Wei recalled his past injury, feeling a twinge of pain in his stomach.

Fear gripped him. "Mago, will my mother die?"

Mago remained silent.

Given the current situation, it was hard to say.

Lady Wei's injuries, though not as severe as her son's, were compounded by her weaker constitution.

Seeing his silence, Young Master Wei grew more frantic. "No, I can't let my mother die! Mago, think of something!"

Seeing Young Master Wei's panicked shouting, Mago felt a surge of irritation.

"Shut up!"

Grabbing Young Master Wei by the neck, he pressed him against the cave wall, speaking in a low voice. "Will yelling wake your mother? If you alert the enemies, we'll all die!"

Young Master Wei's eyes widened in disbelief.

But as his breath tightened, fear overcame him, and he started to struggle.

Mago held firm, staring into his eyes. "I’ll let you go if you promise not to yell again. Otherwise, I'll cut you down!"

With his vision darkening, Young Master Wei frantically nodded.

Seeing his face turn purple, Mago released his grip.

Watching the young master cough and gasp for air, Mago felt an unexpected satisfaction.

Meeting this boy always brought trouble. He couldn't help feeling resentful.

Previously, he wouldn't have dared to rough up the young master.

But now, with enemies everywhere, they were living on the edge.

In this desperate situation, Mago's courage grew, and he had no patience for the young master's antics.

"Young Master, you're not a child anymore. Think about how to survive in these mountains. The Silver Moon Guards sacrificed themselves for you and Lady Wei. Don't disgrace their efforts by acting like a fool.

"I'll search for medicinal herbs to reduce Lady Wei's fever tomorrow. Think about what you should do."

Leaving these words, Mago took the rabbit outside to skin and prepare it.

Young Master Wei was left in the cave, lost in thought.

Soon, Mago returned with some raw rabbit meat on a large leaf.

"Eat."

"What is this?" Young Master Wei asked, looking at the pink meat.

"Rabbit meat, fresh."

"It's raw. How can I eat this?" Young Master Wei exclaimed.

"Do you want to start a fire to roast it and attract enemies? They’ll surround us and capture your mother," Mago sneered.

"But I can't eat it," Young Master Wei said, terrified.

"You have to. You've been starving for two days. Without food, you won't be able to walk. I'm already struggling to carry your mother. I can't carry both of you! Do you want me to abandon your mother?" Mago said coldly.

Hearing this, Young Master Wei struggled internally.

Finally, he took a piece of rabbit meat and swallowed it with closed eyes.
