I Can See Through Everything

"Who dares to question two Precelestial beings?"

The martial artists, who were suffocating under the pressure of two Precelestial beings, were stunned upon hearing these words.

Then they saw a figure appear, slowly walking in through the main gate of the Wei mansion.

It was a young man dressed in plain clothes with an ordinary appearance.

In his hands, he held a jade scroll.

The jade scroll emitted a faint white light, enveloping the young man in plain clothes, allowing him to walk freely under the pressure of the two Precelestial beings without any hindrance.

This strange scene shocked not only the martial artists but also the two Precelestial experts, Wang Cangyi and Wei Shanhai.

"Both of you, Sacred Mountain has a decree: Precelestial martial artists must not harm humans below the Precelestial level without reason and must not engage in Precelestial-level battles in densely populated cities. Do you intend to violate this decree?"

Facing the gazes of the two Precelestial experts, the expression of the young man in plain clothes did not change, but his tone became increasingly serious.

Wang Cangyi stared intently at the jade scroll in the hands of the young man in plain clothes, his expression heavy.

"Tianji Tower's Zhiyue greets the two Precelestial experts."

The young man in plain clothes slightly bowed and spoke calmly.

Upon hearing the young man in plain clothes acknowledge this, Wang Cangyi's heart trembled.

He quietly stared at the young man in plain clothes for a while before slowly dispersing the sword qi gathered in his palm.

Although he did not know whether the other party's identity was real or not, he had heard of the mysterious properties of the Dan Book Jade Scroll.

Such a mysterious jade scroll could only be activated by someone from Tianji Tower.

Even Wei Shanhai withdrew his blade light.

However, unlike Wang Cangyi, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

He knew that since someone from Tianji Tower was here, the battle for today would likely not happen.

Wang Cangyi keenly noticed this slight shift in Wei Shanhai's mindset.

He immediately realized that the other party's injuries had not yet healed, and he had been bluffing just now.

In an instant, Wang Cangyi's expression turned dark.

He looked at the young man in plain clothes and questioned, "I've heard that Tianji Tower never participates in the conflicts between various factions. So, is Zhiyue here intending to break this stance?"

"Tianji Tower's stance has never changed, Senior Wang. There's no need for doubt," the young man in plain clothes said lightly. "We have no interest in interfering with your dispute with Senior Wei, but if you insist on fighting in the city, you should understand the consequences."

Wang Cangyi's expression immediately became uncertain.

If the young man in plain clothes were not here, he could kill Wei Shanhai, destroy the Wei family, seize that treasure, and escape.

Afterward, even if Sacred Mountain pursued the matter, he would have ways to minimize his responsibility.

But with the young man in plain clothes present, he did not dare to act recklessly.

It was rumored that the Dan Book Jade Scroll of Tianji Tower had a magical function.

The content written on it could be transmitted to the headquarters of Tianji Tower in an instant, incredibly mysterious.

With the young man in plain clothes present, even if he slaughtered everyone in the city to silence them, he could not prevent the news from spreading.

"Wei Shanhai, do you have the courage to fight me outside the city?"

Wang Cangyi's expression was dark as he suddenly shouted at the old ancestor of the Wei family.

"Hahaha, Wang Cangyi, no need to rush. I have traveled for days and am a bit tired. After a few days of rest, I will personally come to take your head!"

However, Wei Shanhai, who seemed bold and straightforward, laughed heartily and did not respond to the challenge.

"You!" Wang Cangyi was furious. "You coward, you don't even have the heart to fight. You disgrace the title of Precelestial!"

"I'm not like you, a despicable person who only knows how to sneak attack and do such petty acts," Wei Shanhai mocked.

"You..."

Wang Cangyi's chest heaved violently. He knew that Wei Shanhai was determined to hide in the city and not come out.

And he had no way to deal with it.

If he insisted on fighting, unless he could instantly kill Wei Shanhai.

Otherwise, no matter the outcome of the battle, as long as there were other casualties during the fight, he could not escape the blame from Sacred Mountain.

The thought of the consequences of starting a Precelestial battle in the city made Wang Cangyi's heart tremble.

He did not want to spend the rest of his life imprisoned on Sacred Mountain, living in fear.

After weighing the situation, knowing that Wei Shanhai's injuries had not yet healed but not being able to kill him instantly, Wang Cangyi gritted his teeth and glared at Wei Shanhai with a ferocious look:

"Old scoundrel, you wait. I will not give up until I get that item. You'd better never leave the city and stay hidden here, or the day you step out will be your death day!"

With that, there was a sound of an explosion, and his figure disappeared from the rooftop.

"Master!"

Seeing Wang Cangyi leave, the burly man and others were shocked.

"Get out now!"

Wei Shanhai did not make things difficult for them. With a deep voice, he released a powerful aura.

The burly man and others, relieved, quickly rushed out of the Wei mansion.

Those who were slower were kicked by the people behind them, scrambling to escape.

After all the Tian Cang Sect people left, Wei Shanhai spoke to a spot under the eaves, "Sir, please come out."

Someone hiding up there?

The Wei family members looked in that direction.

Under everyone's gaze, a figure emerged from under the eaves, jumped down, and stood gracefully.

"Greetings, Senior Wei."

The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes first saluted Wei Shanhai, then turned to the young man in plain clothes and said:

"Zhiyue, thank goodness you came in time, or I might not have seen another day."

Seeing this figure, the Wei family members were stunned.

They did not expect the County Magistrate to be hiding there.

The young man in plain clothes also did not expect his friend to be in that place.

The usually calm young man was a bit dumbfounded.

Seeing his friend still nonchalant, he couldn't help but sigh, "You, if you don't change your love for watching the excitement, one day I won't be surprised to hear news of your death."

"Zhiyue, you are not being kind. Why curse a friend to death?"

While the two bantered, Wei Shanhai landed on the ground, saluting the young man in plain clothes.

"Thank you, Zhiyue, for saving the lives of my entire Wei family."

The young man's expression returned to calm.

"Senior Wei, don't misunderstand. I am here not to help the Wei family but to prevent anyone from violating the Sacred Mountain decree."

"Regardless, Zhiyue's presence indeed saved our Wei family. I will never forget this kindness."

The young man shook his head without further words and walked away.

"Zhiyue, why hurry? Wait for me, let's go have a drink together!"

The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes saluted Wei Shanhai, then hurriedly chased after him.

Wei Shanhai watched them leave without trying to retain them.

"Ancestor!"

After all the outsiders left, Wei Xinghe, clutching his chest, led the clan members forward excitedly.

"Xinghe, I couldn't completely block Wang Cangyi's sword qi in the rush, are you okay?" Wei Shanhai asked.

"No problem. Who would have thought a Precelestial would sneak attack a junior? Luckily, you arrived in time." Wei Xinghe shook his head.

"Humph, Wang Cangyi has always been despicable and shameless," Wei Shanhai snorted coldly.

"Ancestor, why didn't you keep Zhiyue? He saved our family; letting him leave seems ungrateful." Wei Xinghe asked.

Wei Shanhai shook his head, "It's not that I didn't want to keep him, but his identity is special. He never gets close to other factions. Keeping him would only trouble him."

Wei Xinghe wanted to ask more, but Wei Shanhai waved his hand, "Let's talk inside. Have someone clean up the courtyard."

Wei Xinghe had to close his mouth temporarily. Once inside, with only him, the chief steward, and the ancestor, he continued, "Ancestor, when did you return?"

"I've been back for several days but didn't enter the city because I knew Wang Cangyi was waiting for me in the shadows."

"Ancestor, who are these people, and what grudge do you have with Wang Cangyi?"

This had been puzzling Wei Xinghe.

The treasure in their house was well hidden, known to only a few in the clan.

How did these mysterious forces find out?

"The people attacking our Wei family mostly come from a northern sect called Tian Cang Sect. Wang Cangyi is their second elder."

"And our grudge..."

Wei Shanhai sighed before saying, "We were once friends."

"Friends? Then how..."

Wei Xinghe and the chief steward were shocked.

"That was a hundred years ago..."

As Wei

Shanhai recounted, Wei Xinghe and the chief steward gradually understood the situation.

A hundred years ago, Wei Shanhai was a young and promising martial artist.

At that time, he had achieved success in martial arts and was already a Tendons and Bones Realm expert, a rare talent in the Wei family.

To seek a breakthrough to the Internal Organs Realm and broaden his horizons, Wei Shanhai decided to travel and meet heroes from all over the world at the age of twenty.

During his travels, he met a young man of similar age, Wang Cangyi.

Wang Cangyi came from a great sect, powerful and knowledgeable.

In terms of strength and knowledge, he surpassed the then-small clan member Wei Shanhai.

They hit it off instantly, and Wei Shanhai was impressed by Wang Cangyi's demeanor.

Eventually, they became sworn brothers.

After that, they roamed the world together, experiencing and witnessing much.

But during their travels, Wei Shanhai gradually realized that Wang Cangyi was not as noble as he seemed.

He was narrow-minded and sometimes made things difficult for minor characters over trivial matters.

He was vengeful, holding grudges even for unintentional slights.

Many times, he wanted to retaliate against others' families, if not for Wei Shanhai's persuasion.

As they traveled, their philosophies diverged, leading to frequent quarrels.

But at that time, Wei Shanhai still considered Wang Cangyi a brother.

He thought Wang Cangyi was extreme but still righteous.

Their real fallout happened when they explored a secret place together.

They accidentally discovered a cave and gained great fortune.

When dividing the treasures, they had a disagreement.

Wang Cangyi thought he did most of the work and should get ninety percent of the treasures.

Wei Shanhai believed that since they were brothers, they shouldn't be so calculative.

Although he didn't contribute as much, he saved Wang Cangyi from a deadly trap.

Based on that, he felt he deserved more than ten percent.

They argued fiercely and almost fought.

In the end, Wei Shanhai compromised, willing to take only ten percent, but with the condition that he chose first.

To his surprise, Wang Cangyi refused, insisting they take turns picking items.

This thoroughly disappointed Wei Shanhai.

The treasures they obtained were incredibly mysterious. With their then abilities, they couldn't tell which were the best.

Even if he chose first, he couldn't pick all the best ones.

Yet Wang Cangyi was unwilling to suffer any loss.

Seeing Wang Cangyi's true nature, Wei Shanhai accepted it. He randomly picked a few items and, after leaving the cave, severed ties with Wang Cangyi.

"Thinking back, if not for my breakthrough during the travels, making us equals, Wang Cangyi might have tried to kill me back then."

Wei Shanhai sighed.

"Ancestor, according to you, one of the treasures you got then is..." Wei Xinghe probed.

"Yes, one of the items I got is the one in our secret vault." Wei Shanhai nodded. "And it is the most precious among them."

"The most precious?"

"Yes, I didn't expect that casually picking would get the most precious one."

"Wang Cangyi wouldn't have thought my luck would be so good to pick the best item. Maybe this is fate."

"I wonder if he was ever infuriated in those years."

A mocking smile appeared on Wei Shanhai's face.

Wei Xinghe and the chief steward imagined Wang Cangyi's reaction and thought he must have been very angry.

"So, Wang Cangyi came for that treasure. Ancestor, how did he manage to sneak attack you?" Wei Xinghe asked.

"I was careless." Wei Shanhai sighed.

"After our fallout, I hadn't seen him for years. He recently wrote, inviting me to reunite as old friends."

"I thought years had passed, and we were young and impulsive back then. So, I went."

"Unexpectedly, he chatted about our travels, and when I relaxed, he suddenly attacked. I was caught off guard and severely injured, escaping only by chance."

"How are your injuries now?" Wei Xinghe quickly asked.

"My injuries haven't healed. At best, I can use thirty percent of my strength." Wei Shanhai said calmly.

Hearing this, Wei Xinghe and the chief steward were shocked.

Just as they wanted to ask more, Wei Shanhai asked, "By the way, I've been back for a while. Why haven't I seen Ningyan and An'er? Where are they?"

The sensory abilities of a Precelestial are extraordinary. Wei Shanhai now noticed that the mansion lacked the presence of Li Ningyan and Wei Zian.
