I Can See Through Everything

"So, is it true that Ning Yan and Zian's fate is still unknown?"

Wei Shanhai frowned as he spoke.

Just now, Wei Xinghe had recounted everything that had happened during this period.

This included the attempt to secretly send his wife and children away, which had unfortunately been discovered.

"But Madam and Young Master should be fine, otherwise the other party would have already used them to threaten us," analyzed Manager Wei. "It's just unclear where they are now, whether they've reached the provincial capital or are hiding somewhere."

"No matter what, we need to confirm their safety first," said Wei Shanhai. "Xiao Hai, arrange for someone to check the provincial capital, and send others to scout outside the city."

"Yes, Ancestor, I'll arrange it right away," Manager Wei agreed.

In fact, they had wanted to do this long ago, but the people from Tian Cang Sect had been watching them closely, making it too risky to send anyone out.

Now that the ancestor had returned, providing a backbone of support, they could handle many matters with more confidence.

"Ancestor, is your injury serious? When do you think you will recover?"

"My injury is probably beyond cure."

At this moment, Wei Shanhai's face suddenly showed a tired look, his breath quickly weakening, and he seemed to age several years, collapsing onto the chair.

"Ancestor!"

Wei Xinghe was shocked and hurriedly shouted.

"Don't make a fuss," Wei Shanhai waved his hand and sighed. "Wang Cangyi's Precelestial sword qi is indeed formidable. I took a sword strike from him. Although I avoided most of the damage, my heart meridian was still invaded by his sword qi, causing severe injury."

"With your strength, Ancestor, you can't expel that sword qi?"

"It's difficult to do it alone," Wei Shanhai shook his head. "Wang Cangyi's Precelestial sword qi is extremely insidious, like a poison that corrodes the bones, entangling my heart meridian.

"Besides, our cultivation levels are similar. I can't confidently expel the sword qi without damaging my heart meridian. I can only suppress it with true qi temporarily, preventing it from erupting."

Hearing this, Wei Xinghe became anxious, "Then is there no other way?"

"Unless another Precelestial realm expert helps me, using gentle true qi to protect my heart meridian, so I can exert full effort to expel the sword qi completely."

Hearing this, Wei Xinghe felt despair.

Not to mention that Precelestial realm experts are rare, rarely appearing before ordinary people.

In such a remote place, where could they find a Precelestial realm expert in a short time?

Moreover, even if such an expert appeared by chance, letting another Precelestial's true qi enter his heart meridian was too risky.

Human hearts are unpredictable. If the other party harbors ill intentions, they could destroy the ancestor's heart meridian in a moment of thought.

By then, not even a deity could save him.

Wei Shanhai also knew the difficulty of this matter.

However, his mind was strong, and seeing Wei Xinghe's worried face, he comforted him instead, "Don't be so disheartened. Things haven't reached the final step. As long as I'm alive, I can still protect the Wei family."

"Ancestor, what will happen if the sword qi is not expelled?"

Wei Shanhai paused and then said, "Suppressing the sword qi continuously puts a heavy burden on my heart meridian. In about a year, my heart meridian will fail, and I will die."

Wei Xinghe fell silent.

He had thought that everything would be fine with the ancestor's return.

Unexpectedly, the ancestor's injury had such a hidden danger.

His earlier joy vanished instantly.

After a while, Wei Xinghe, still unwilling, said, "Ancestor, if we use that treasure, can it heal your injury?"

"Very difficult," Wei Shanhai shook his head. "That treasure is extraordinarily profound, not an ordinary object. Back then, I was able to comprehend the Silver Moon Formation and the current cultivation method from it and advanced to Precelestial by luck. Over the past decades, I have been unable to comprehend more. It's not worth wasting the foundation accumulated over these years."

Otherwise, his realm wouldn't have been stuck at the peak of the initial Precelestial stage for so many years.

"But it is still a chance, isn't it?" Wei Shanhai quickly said, "What if you gain new insights and reach a higher realm through this life-and-death experience?"

"You... sigh, alright, I'll give it a try."

Seeing his insistence, Wei Shanhai sighed and agreed.

While the Wei family temporarily resolved a life-and-death crisis due to Wei Shanhai's return, in another part of the county, discussions about the battle between Tian Cang Sect and the Wei family were also gradually rising.

Despite the fact that both sides of the conflict were far superior to other forces in the county, and logically, smaller forces should avoid them altogether, the world never lacks fearless people.

Every force had its secretly cultivated spies.

As a result, some details of the battle inevitably leaked out.

Especially the dialogue between the young man in plain clothes and the two Precelestial realm experts, which was heard throughout the city.

So, everyone learned that there was such a prohibition concerning the mysterious Precelestial realm.

"Who would've thought that Precelestial realm experts are prohibited from attacking those below their level?"

"What kind of power is Sacred Mountain to impose such a restriction on the mighty Precelestial realm experts?"

"Thankfully, this prohibition exists; otherwise, we might all be dead. The previous aura was too terrifying."

"Yes, my heart was pounding crazily before. If those two really fought, half the county might be destroyed."

"And what about Tianji Tower? What kind of force is that?"

...

Due to the lingering presence of Tian Cang Sect in the county, the residents didn't dare to discuss it openly.

But private discussions couldn't be avoided.

So, it didn't take long for the entire county to be abuzz with talk about the battle.

At the same time, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The previous confrontation between the two Precelestial experts was too terrifying.

The entire city had been in silence, not daring to make a sound.

No one wanted those two to actually fight, not knowing if they would survive the aftermath.

Knowing that Precelestial experts couldn't casually fight in the city, everyone felt genuine relief.

Among the discussing crowd, one person's face gradually showed joy.

However, he quickly restrained his joy, pretending to be indifferent, and joined in the discussion.

The next morning, he disguised himself and blended into the crowd to leave the city.

After leaving the city, he changed his route several times, even staying overnight at his brother-in-law's place in the countryside, making sure no one was following him before heading towards Jiuli Village.

Upon reaching Jiuli Village, he went straight to Lu Qing's house and found Lu Qing practicing boxing in the courtyard.

"Young Master Lu!"

"Xiao Tian?"

Lu Qing looked up, surprised.

According to Mago's instructions, Xiao Tian and the others were supposed to hide after dealing with the Black Wolf Gang's bodies. Why was he here?

"Xiao Tian, why are you here?"

Lu Qing felt a chill, wondering if something had happened.

"Young Master Lu, something big happened in the city these past two days. I came specifically to tell you," Xiao Tian said excitedly.

Indeed!

Lu Qing's expression turned serious, "Come inside and tell me."

Inside, Xiao Yan hadn't gotten up yet, and the table was set with freshly prepared breakfast.

The steaming aroma made Xiao Tian swallow unconsciously.

He had left early in the morning without eating at his brother-in-law's place, hurrying over.

"Xiao Tian, have you had breakfast? Why not eat something here?" Lu Qing noticed his movement and asked.

"No need, let me tell you first," Xiao Tian insisted.

"Alright, go ahead."

Lu Qing didn't press further, sensing the importance of the news Xiao Tian was about to share.

Could it be that Tian Cang Sect and the Wei family finally clashed?

As Lu Qing pondered this, Xiao Tian began.

"The day before yesterday, the foreign martial artists in the city finally declared war on the Wei family. They gathered many martial artists and launched an attack on the Wei residence..."

Xiao Tian's first words shocked Lu Qing.

However, as Xiao Tian continued, his expression gradually turned to astonishment.

"In the end, the two Precelestial experts didn't fight, sparing us from disaster. I took the chance to slip out of the city to tell you this."

After hearing Xiao Tian's account, Lu Qing fell silent.

Xiao Tian's words contained too much information, and he needed time to sort it out.

Seeing his silence, Xiao Tian didn't disturb him, waiting patiently.

He knew Young Master Lu was no ordinary person, far more knowledgeable than himself.

He didn't need to say much, just wait for him to process it.

However, as he waited, Xiao Tian's hunger grew stronger with the aroma of the food.

Finally, his stomach growled uncontrollably.

The sound snapped Lu Qing out of his thoughts.

He looked at the embarrassed Xiao Tian and smiled, "Xiao Tian, don't be polite. Eat something first."

"Yes, Young Master."

This time, Xiao Tian didn't hold back and started eating a bun.

After finishing two buns and a bowl of porridge, Lu Qing asked, "Xiao Tian, are you sure Precelestial experts can't casually attack those below their level or fight in the

city?"

"Sure!" Xiao Tian nodded seriously. "That was what the Tianji Tower lord said when he barged into the Wei residence before the two Precelestial experts could fight, citing a Sacred Mountain prohibition. The whole city heard it.

"And the two Precelestial experts really didn't fight. The foreign Precelestial left angrily."

Lu Qing tapped the table lightly with his fingers.

He hadn't expected such a prohibition for Precelestial experts.

Sacred Mountain, what kind of place is that?

To impose such restrictions on Precelestial experts and seemingly make them comply without overt defiance.

What kind of terrifying power must it be to have such deterrence?

It seemed that this world indeed had many secrets and terrifying powers unknown to ordinary people.

Even becoming a Precelestial expert didn't guarantee freedom.

However, this prohibition was good news for Lu Qing now.

At least it gave him more confidence against Wang Cangyi.

Of course, this didn't mean Lu Qing no longer feared Wang Cangyi.

Even a cornered dog would jump over the wall; Precelestial experts were not made of clay. To reach such a level, they were all proud and independent.

If truly provoked, filled with murderous intent, any prohibition would be meaningless.

If someone really wanted to kill, it would be a matter of thought.

Would Sacred Mountain be able to resurrect the dead?

Therefore, proper respect for Precelestial experts was still necessary.

"Young Master Lu, now that the Wei family's ancestor has returned, their crisis is resolved. When can Master Ma return?"

Xiao Tian was a keen person.

Although he hadn't seen Madam Wei and the young master in person at the Grand Bazaar, he had deduced some things from clues and subsequent events.

He knew that his master's disappearance was likely related to the Wei family's mistress and young master.

"No rush. You just mentioned that the mysterious Precelestial left with a warning. The situation in the city is still tense. In such circumstances, Master Ma shouldn't appear. He is safe where he is now," Lu Qing said.

Xiao Tian thought the same and didn't inquire further.

As long as he knew Master Ma was safe, that was enough.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Tian left.

He wanted to return to the city to gather more information.

Lu Qing didn't stop him, only urging him to be careful.

After Xiao Tian left, Lu Qing woke Xiao Yan, washed her up, and took her and Xiao Li to the Halfway House.

The news Xiao Tian brought was very important.

Especially the prohibition against Precelestial experts, which he had to inform his master about.

At the Halfway House, his master was drying medicinal herbs.

Lu Qing told his master about the news Xiao Tian brought.

Then he asked, "Master, you have traveled extensively. Have you heard of this prohibition, or know what Sacred Mountain and Tianji Tower are?"

The old doctor was surprised after hearing Lu Qing's account.

He shook his head, saying, "I haven't heard of these names, nor this prohibition."
