I Can See Through Everything

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Lu Qing is back!"

As Wang Da'an ran towards the brightly lit ancestral hall, he shouted loudly.

"What, Lu Qing is back?"

"Is Lu Qing alright?!"

"Stupid boy, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

As soon as the voice rang out, the ancestral hall erupted in commotion, and many villagers ran out from inside.

"How could I be wrong? Look, isn't that Lu Qing!"

Wang Da'an, feeling aggrieved, pointed to the rear and shouted.

Following the direction of his finger, everyone saw a person slowly approaching. Under the bright moonlight, his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely recognizable. Who else could it be but Lu Qing?

The villagers were extremely delighted.

"Sorry for making everyone worry about me."

Lu Qing walked up to the ancestral hall and bowed gently to the villagers.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back," Grandpa Zhang said with great relief.

"Yes, as long as you return safely."

The other villagers echoed.

All day long, they had been living in fear and anxiety.

They were worried that Lu Qing would never return, never come back to the village.

They were also afraid that the ones who would come would be the vicious Black Wolf Gang.

Now, seeing Lu Qing finally return safely, the heavy stone in their hearts finally fell.

"Grandpa Zhang, where is Xiao Yan?"

Lu Qing looked around and did not see Xiao Yan, so he asked.

"She is sleeping inside. You didn’t return all day, in the afternoon, she cried for her brother and refused to eat dinner. Dr. Chen had to give her two needles to make her fall asleep."

"Is Master also inside?" Lu Qing asked.

"Yes, Dr. Chen saw you hadn't returned, so he brought Xiao Yan down from the mountain."

Lu Qing fell silent.

He knew that besides worrying about him, Master also came down to protect the villagers of Jiuli Village.

"Grandpa Zhang, let me go inside and apologize to Master. It's really inexcusable to make him worry so much." Lu Qing said.

"Of course, you should. Although Dr. Chen didn’t say anything, we could all see that he was very worried about you." Grandpa Zhang replied quickly.

Lu Qing walked into the ancestral hall and saw his master holding Xiao Yan under a tree, sitting on a stone.

"You're back?"

Dr. Chen finally relaxed his face when he saw Lu Qing.

"Disciple was reckless, causing Master to worry. Please punish me." Lu Qing lowered his head.

"As long as you return safely."

Dr. Chen sighed.

Although he thought Lu Qing's decision in the morning was reckless, he also understood that, as a filial son, who could remain calm upon suddenly learning the truth about their parents' deaths?

The reason he taught Lu Qing martial arts in the first place was precisely because he worried such a day might come.

"Is everything resolved?"

Dr. Chen glanced at Lu Qing and keenly noticed some bloodstains on his clothes.

But he did not see any signs of injuries on his disciple.

"Yes, it is temporarily resolved. No one should come to bother the village for a while." Lu Qing replied.

"Oh, what did you do?" 

Dr. Chen was somewhat surprised by his disciple's confidence.

During the day, he had heard from the villagers that it was the Black Wolf Gang causing trouble in the village.

As someone who frequently went to the county town, how could Dr. Chen not know what the Black Wolf Gang represented?

Precisely because he knew their ruthless behavior, he came down from the mountain to protect the villagers of Jiuli Village.

Now hearing Lu Qing say that the matter was resolved, how could he not be surprised?

Lu Qing did not directly answer his master's question.

Instead, he asked, "Master, do you know there is a place called Happy Fort nearby?"

"Happy Fort?" Dr. Chen thought for a moment and shook his head. "Never heard of it."

Lu Qing was speechless.

But he thought about it and realized that apart from treating people and studying medicine, his master didn’t concern himself with other matters.

It was normal for him not to have heard of Happy Fort.

"Happy Fort is a casino and brothel run by one of the Black Wolf Gang's leaders, about fifty or sixty miles from here."

"My father was framed by people from Happy Fort, accruing a large debt."

"Those people wanted to seize our family's land and force my mother into the fort. My parents refused and eventually committed suicide by drowning."

"I see." Dr. Chen finally understood why his disciple suddenly brought up this place.

The villagers also finally knew how Lu Ming and his wife had died.

"So now, this Happy Fort…" Dr. Chen asked.

"Happy Fort no longer exists," Lu Qing said. "I have avenged my parents with my own hands."

"…" Dr. Chen was silent for a moment before he said, "It is good that such a harmful place is gone."

Dr. Chen thought Lu Qing meant he killed the leader and disbanded the fort.

Although he did not like violence, avenging one's parents was a natural duty, and he couldn’t say anything against it.

At that time, Dr. Chen had no idea that his disciple's bloodthirst was so heavy that he had killed everyone in the fort except for the unfortunate girls.

Lu Qing did not directly mention that he had killed nearly a hundred people in one night.

Seeing that his master did not blame him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

But the other villagers, hearing Lu Qing say he had destroyed the entire fort, were shocked.

Although they already knew in the morning that Lu Qing was skilled in martial arts, his extraordinary feat of single-handedly destroying a mountain stronghold was beyond their imagination.

Lu Qing noticed the expressions of the villagers.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Grandpa Zhang, although I destroyed the fort that harmed my parents, everyone should not spread this matter outside. The fort was backed by the Black Wolf Gang from the city. We don't know if they will send people to investigate, so everyone should not mention it recently."

Although Lu Qing believed that Mago could handle the matter of Happy Fort, he still had to remind them.

"Yes, yes, you all heard him. When you go out, you must not mention anything about Lu Qing! In fact, during this period, except for working in the fields, you should not go out at all, not even to the Grand Bazaar. Do you understand?" Grandpa Zhang responded quickly.

"Understood!"

Those still gathered at the ancestral hall were mainly the more stable adults in the village. They naturally understood the seriousness of the matter and responded one after another.

"Alright, since Lu Qing is back, let's disperse. Everyone has been worried all day and hasn't eaten dinner. We're all tired. We can talk about any other matters tomorrow," Grandpa Zhang said again.
