I Can See Through All Things' Information

"Mr. Li, you don't recognize this young man?"

The disciples from Qingyun Sword Pavilion were surprised.

"Indeed, we don't know him; this is the first time we've ever seen this young man," another young man shook his head as well.

To tell the truth, they were astonished, too.

Not only did Lu Qing look unfamiliar, but even his aura seemed quite average.

Why then did their elders show such reverence upon seeing him?

This was a scene they had never witnessed before.

Those with a quick mind suddenly recalled a matter and felt startled,

but were somewhat hesitant to confirm, "This one, couldn't he be the young hero from the rumors, the one who defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster at the city gates?"

Prompted by this reminder, the others also came to a realization.

"That's right, it must be him; otherwise, how could so many martial arts experts show such respect and wariness?"

Looking at Lu Qing's somewhat youthful face, the young crowd felt a tremor in their hearts.

No wonder they didn't make the connection, as the elders in their families had been speaking vaguely about the incident these past days, or simply referred to him as 'the young hero.'

They had assumed he would be at least around their age, only to be surprised by how young he really was.

"Gentlemen, what are you saying, that this young man has defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster? You must be joking,"

the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples expressed their disbelief after hearing this.

No wonder they didn't believe it.

What had been said was truly beyond imagination.

A teenage boy defeating a Martial Arts Grandmaster of Inner Organs Perfection?

No matter how they thought about it, the idea was preposterous!

A teenage Martial Arts Grandmaster?!

Not just in the remote Cang County, but even in the most prosperous Central State, home to numerous prodigies, such a person was rare to see.

It must only be in those top-tier super Sects that such devilish talents can be nurtured.

How could such a genius emerge from a small place like Cang County?

"Brother Zhao, we know this is hard to believe, but the facts are indeed as such, if we're not mistaken, this young man is likely the one who saved the Wei Family not long ago."

Following that, the scions of the families recounted the events of the past few days.

After this discussion, everyone learned that these young people with unique temperaments were the Wei Family Master's fellow Sect members from a Major Sect in Jizhou.

Naturally, they were interested in making their acquaintance, so they recounted in detail the happenings in the county these past days.

After listening, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples looked at each other even more bewildered.

They knew about the Cang Sect's invasion of Wei Mansion, having heard about it on their way here.

But what was said later sounded increasingly far-fetched to them.

Especially when it was mentioned that the young man defeated a Martial Arts Grandmaster with only a Perfect Bone Marrow Realm Cultivation?

Impossible!

That wasn't just absurd, it was completely nonsensical.

However powerful the Muscle Bone Realm might be, it could never match a Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Whether in terms of Cultivation or realm, they were on entirely different levels!

If there were to be a real confrontation, aside from defeat, there would be no second possible outcome for someone from the Muscle Bone Realm.

The Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples, coming from a Major Sect with their own Muscle Bone Realm Cultivation, had witnessed more than once the confrontations between Martial Arts Grandmasters within the Sect.

Thus, they were abundantly clear about the vast gulf between the Muscle Bone Realm and Martial Arts Grandmasters.

It was a chasm that simply couldn't be crossed with mere Cultivation Technique and Martial Arts knowledge!

Just a small place indeed, where such clumsy rumors could also spread. The martial arts knowledge here is just too inadequate.

Instantly, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples made their own judgment in their minds.

Thinking that everything they just heard was nothing but idle talk.

Either these young masters were echoing rumors, or they were boasting, trying to get their attention.

However, although they looked down upon the claims, the Qingyun Sword Pavilion disciples were well-cultured enough not to show it.

Instead, they continued to politely engage with the country nobles.

As to how they were scoffing in their minds, only they knew.

"Lord County Master, Lord Zhi Rui has arrived!"

Just then, the news was announced by the doorkeeper.

There was a stir within the courtyard as the guests looked out.

Soon, they saw the Lord County Master and the mysterious Mr. Zhi Rui enter, led by Housekeeper Wei.

"Lord County Master, Mr. Zhi Rui, please take a seat here,"

Housekeeper Wei led the two to the table where Lu Qing sat, very graciously inviting them.

"Young Master Lu, we meet again."

Lord County Master, shaking his fan, said with a smile.

"Indeed, I deeply regretted not being able to indulge in a hearty drink with Lord County Master that day. Today fulfills a wish of mine," Lu Qing replied with a slight smile as well.

The smile on Lord County Master's face froze momentarily.

It was the cloth-clothed youth nearby who couldn't help twitching his mouth at Lu Qing's politeness.

He found the young man's words quite interesting.

Without making a sound, he had given a good friend a blow to the ego.

After a somewhat awkward exchange, Lord County Master didn't continue to engage Lu Qing, instead sitting across from him and busying himself with drinking.

Lu Qing paid no mind, sitting calmly all the while.

He didn't exactly dislike the County Lord, but subconsciously, he felt a bit of repulsion.

It was better for both parties not to interact too much.

However, this did make several other guests at the banquet a bit uneasy.

Ma Family Master keenly sensed that Lu Qing and Lord County Master didn't seem to get along very well.

What a shame he was a man of little influence; even with his observations, he dared not speak out, and so he sat silently, trying to minimize his presence as much as possible.

As for the cloth-clothed youth, being a man of few words, he was even less likely to engage in casual conversation.

Oddly enough, the most important table at the banquet had fallen into a peculiar silence.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before all the guests had arrived.

Wei Xinghe and his wife, along with Ma Gu and other main guests, came out from the inner courtyard.

Housekeeper Wei called out loudly, and the apprentice ceremony officially began.

There wasn't much to say about the ceremony.

Although there were many steps, no errors occurred, and aside from Ma Gu looking a bit nervous, everything went smoothly.

When Wei Zian knelt down and repeatedly knocked his head to the ground, then presented the tea, which Ma Gu drank, the apprentice ceremony was truly complete.

Seeing this, the various powers recognized the matter as set in stone, beyond change.

However, they never expected the Wei Family to actually let Wei Zian take Ma Gu as his master.

They had suspected there was a hidden agenda behind it all.

The Ma Family Master was overjoyed at the development.

Before so many witnesses, Ma Gu and Wei Zian's mentor-disciple relationship was firmly established.

From then on, Ma Gu would be the personal master of the young master of Wei Mansion, responsible for his tutelage.

Likewise, he would also have authority over Young Master Wei.

Even in future matters of marriage, if Ma Gu wished, he too would have a say.

"Congratulations to Young Master Wei on obtaining a good master, and congratulations to Master Ma Gu on acquiring an excellent disciple!" At this moment, a plump guest stood up and loudly offered his congratulations, "I have a modest gift here, a small token of celebration. Please accept it with a smile, Young Master."

The guests were taken aback at first, then realizing the intent, could not help but curse inwardly at the cunning of the old fox.

They had already delivered their congratulatory gifts upon entering.

None had considered this move.

Presenting a gift in front of Wei Xinghe would surely leave a more profound impression; if it pleased him, one could gain much favor.

"Family Head Qian, what treasure have you obtained that you present your gift in front of Master Wei?" Someone asked in jest.

But everyone was indeed curious.

What kind of gift made the always shrewd old fox Family Head Qian so confident as to present it publicly?

After all, if the gift wasn't special enough under such scrutiny, it would not be showing off, but rather making a fool of oneself.

"It's just a small trinket, but I'm sure Young Master will like it."

Family Head Qian's face wore a flattering smile as he presented a beautifully crafted wooden box about a foot long and walked forward.

"Really? What is it?"

Wei Zian, too, became interested, looking at the wooden box.

Everyone's gaze followed the box in Family Head Qian's hands, their curiosity thoroughly piqued by his actions.

Lu Qing was no exception, but when he set his sights on Family Head Qian, making his way towards Wei Zian, a premonition of danger arose in his heart, prompting him to subconsciously activate his Superpower.

Immediately after, his expression changed.

He called out in a loud warning, "Young Master, be careful!"

The first to react was not Wei Zian, but Family Head Qian himself.

The ingratiating smile on his face vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness.

Bang!

The wooden box burst open, revealing the contents inside.

It was a black short sword, the blade shimmering coldly with a hint of a bloodstain!

Simultaneously, a powerful and icy aura burst forth from Family Head Qian, suppressing the heart and spirit of all present.

With one hand gripping the short sword, and an explosive surge of brute force, the cobblestones beneath his feet shattered, and Family Head Qian lunged like an arrow released from its bow toward Wei Zian, over a dozen steps away!
