I Can See Through Everything

"Everyone, there's no need to be alarmed. It was just a minor breakthrough during my morning practice, not an enemy invasion."

Sensing Lu Qing's powerful aura, Wei Shanhai and several Silver Moon Guards' leaders had rushed over.

When they arrived in the courtyard, Lu Qing explained.

"So it was Young Master Lu practicing. Then there's nothing to worry about. You may all leave," Wei Shanhai said.

"Yes!"

The Silver Moon Guards' leaders responded, but their gazes at Lu Qing grew even more reverent.

Yesterday, outside the city, Lu Qing had personally defeated a martial arts master at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm right in front of them. Now, with another breakthrough, how powerful could he become?

More importantly, after a night of fermenting, the Silver Moon Guards were well aware of Lu Qing's identity.

After all, when they had gone to the Halfway House to protect the Young Master, many guards had seen Lu Qing. They knew that two or three months ago, he was merely a Qi and Blood Realm warrior.

In such a short time, he had grown from a Qi and Blood Realm warrior to someone even martial arts masters couldn't contend with, and now he had made another breakthrough.

The Silver Moon Guards' leaders were genuinely astonished to the core.

Wei Shanhai was equally shocked. However, he knew that Lu Qing had followed the ancestor to comprehend a treasure yesterday, so he managed to maintain his composure.

"Young Master Lu is truly a martial arts prodigy. Compared to you, my decades of cultivation are not worth mentioning."

After the Silver Moon Guards' leaders left, Wei Shanhai said with a smile.

"You flatter me, Chief Wei. I just had a bit of good fortune," Lu Qing replied humbly.

Wei Shanhai smiled, knowing this was just Lu Qing's modesty.

"Since Young Master Lu is already up, I should go and have the servants prepare breakfast. Please join us with Dr. Chen in the dining hall later."

"Thank you, Chief Wei."

After Wei Shanhai left, Lu Qing first went to wake up Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, then went to the neighboring room to greet his master.

The old doctor was already up. He had awakened the moment Lu Qing broke through. However, sensing the presence of Wei Shanhai and others, he had decided to get up only after they left.

"Had a breakthrough?"

Seeing Lu Qing enter, the old doctor asked with a smile.

He knew something about his disciple's accumulation.

"Yes, Master. I had reached the limit of the Tendons and Bones Realm and couldn't advance further, so I broke through."

"Your cultivation speed is truly astonishing. Ah Qing, you are not yet sixteen, are you?"

"I'll be sixteen after the new year."

"Not yet sixteen..."

Even though the old doctor had watched Lu Qing progress and break through, he still found this age unbelievable.

An Internal Organs Realm warrior under sixteen... Such martial achievements were rare even in the prosperous and talented Central Province.

Moreover, he knew that Lu Qing had only started practicing martial arts a few months ago.

Given Lu Qing's talent, the Internal Organs Realm would not hold him for long. In a few years, he would likely break through to the Precelestial stage. By then, he would only be around twenty years old.

A Precelestial Grandmaster at twenty...

The old doctor trembled at the thought.

If Lu Qing reached that stage, he would be a figure that would leave an indelible mark on martial history.

"Master, Chief Wei said breakfast would soon be ready and invited us to the dining hall."

Lu Qing didn't notice his master's astonishment.

To him, his master was the true martial genius. He was merely taking advantage of his abilities.

In terms of cultivation talent, he felt far inferior to his master.

"I understand."

The old doctor composed himself and nodded.

While Lu Qing and his companions were washing up, Wei Xinghe was listening to Wei Shanhai's report in another courtyard.

"So it was indeed Young Master Lu who had a breakthrough."

Wei Xinghe sighed in amazement.

He had also sensed Lu Qing's breakthrough aura earlier. Confirming his guess with Wei Shanhai's report, he was not surprised.

"Ah Hai, I remember you said that when you first saw Young Master Lu, he was just a Qi and Blood Realm warrior?"

"Yes, master. When the Young Master was injured, I went to protect him. At that time, Young Master Lu had just entered the Qi and Blood Realm," Wei Shanhai replied respectfully.

"How much time has passed? The Young Master's recovery has not been long, yet he has broken through to the Internal Organs Realm and can defeat even a Postnatal Grandmaster. How does Young Master Lu cultivate?" Wei Xinghe exclaimed.

"A prodigy like Young Master Lu cannot be measured by common standards, much like the renowned prodigies of Central Province, who are beyond comprehension to others," Wei Shanhai said.

"But even those Central Province prodigies are like fireflies compared to the bright moon when facing Young Master Lu," Wei Xinghe lamented.

Wei Shanhai remained silent.

Indeed, the prodigies of Central Province were extraordinary. But compared to Lu Qing, the gap was immense.

A sixteen-year-old Internal Organs Realm warrior who had defeated a true martial arts master with bare hands at the Tendons and Bones Realm. Such achievements were utterly astounding.

"And that old doctor is equally unfathomable. Did you know, after comprehending that treasure yesterday, the ancestor seemed dazed. When I went to greet him, he said he was shaken by the old doctor. He mentioned that even though both were in the Precelestial stage, the gap between them was vast."

"Master and disciple, both are true prodigies!"

Wei Xinghe fell silent after his exclamation.

Master and servant quietly savored their inner shock.

"Father, you're awake!"

At this moment, a cheerful voice broke the silence.

Wei Xinghe turned, surprised. "Zian, it's rare to see you up so early."

"I've been getting up early to practice lately. Didn't mother tell you?"

Wei Zian, dressed in training clothes with a flushed face and a bit of sweat on his forehead, clearly had just finished exercising.

Wei Xinghe's thoughts shifted, and he smiled. "Your mother mentioned some of your interesting stories from the mountains last night. She said you've been diligent in practicing every morning as instructed by Master Ma. Is that so?"

"Yes!" Wei Zian nodded vigorously, eager. "And I've recently learned a staff technique from Young Master Lu. Would you like to see it and give me some pointers?"

"Oh, a staff technique taught by Young Master Lu?" Wei Xinghe's interest was piqued by his wife's account last night. "Let's see it, then."

"Master, you don't mind if this old servant watches too, do you?"

Wei Shanhai was equally interested.

"Not at all, Uncle Hai. Your expertise will be helpful," Wei Zian said excitedly.

Wei Xinghe and Wei Shanhai exchanged glances.

They noticed a significant change in Wei Zian's demeanor. He was more cheerful and respectful than before.

"Father, I'm starting now."

Wei Zian, holding a long staff, stood in the courtyard's center.

The staff was from the family's weapon collection. The one he brought back from the mountains was carefully preserved.

Although the wooden staff was rough, it held special meaning for him and could not be discarded casually.

"Go ahead."

Wei Xinghe looked at his spirited son with satisfaction.

Wei Zian took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and suddenly his staff turned into a blur. A set of staff techniques flowed smoothly from his hands.

Wei Xinghe initially watched with a smile.

As he watched, his eyes filled with surprise.

Wei Shanhai was equally astonished.

Soon, Wei Zian completed the staff technique, holding the staff horizontally, his breathing steady, and slowly withdrew the stance.

His serious expression left Wei Xinghe momentarily dazed.

It was the first time he had seen his son practice martial arts so earnestly.

"Father, Uncle Hai, how was my staff technique?"

Wei Zian eagerly asked after calming his breath.

"Not bad, very good. You surprised me today," Wei Xinghe said, genuinely impressed.

Wei Zian's staff technique was precise, with well-practiced moves and proper force, indicating serious effort.

"The technique is skilled, and the moves are exquisite. Master, your staff technique is impressive even among Qi and Blood Realm practitioners," Wei Shanhai praised.

"Thank you, Father and Uncle Hai!" Wei Zian beamed with joy.

One reason he had worked so hard recently was to earn his father's approval.

Now that he had achieved it, he was filled with a great sense of accomplishment.

"Zian, you said this staff technique was taught by Young Master Lu. What is it called?" Wei Xinghe asked.

"It's called the 'One Breath Staff Technique,' but Young Master Lu said he simplified it. The real 'One Breath Staff Technique' can only be learned after reaching the Tendons and Bones Realm," Wei Zian replied.

"Simplified?"

Wei Xinghe and Wei Shanhai were surprised.

The technique Wei Zian had demonstrated was seamless, combining offense and defense, with almost no flaws, a complete staff martial art.

If not told, they wouldn't have known it was a simplified technique.

They exchanged astonished glances again, both amazed.

The 'One Breath Staff Technique' was a Qi and Blood Realm martial art, not too profound, not something they'd normally consider significant.

But the technique's depth revealed Lu Qing's martial understanding, which they couldn't fathom.

Wei Xinghe suddenly felt he understood the ancestor

's feelings.

Both in the Precelestial stage, the ancestor couldn't grasp the old doctor's martial realm, feeling deeply frustrated.

Similarly, Wei Xinghe couldn't comprehend Lu Qing's martial realm despite being in the same Internal Organs Realm.

Encountering such a prodigious talent was indeed a humbling experience.

Looking at his happy son, Wei Xinghe's thoughts stirred.

He then smiled, "Zian, did you greet Master Ma today?"

"Yes, I greeted Master Ma before coming to find you," Wei Zian replied quickly.

Wei Xinghe's smile deepened. "Good. Since you've acknowledged him as your master, you must respect him as you would your father. Understand?"

"I understand, Father. Mother taught me this," Wei Zian nodded earnestly.

"That's good. Since you've remembered, that's excellent," Wei Xinghe said, satisfied. "However, your ceremony in the mountains was too simple. We didn't even present a proper gift. It's too unfair to Master Ma."

"Master Ma is not just your teacher but also your and your mother's savior. Our Wei family cannot neglect him."

"So I've decided to choose a good day to hold a proper ceremony and make up for the formalities. What do you think?"

"Great! I'll go tell Master Ma right away!"

Wei Zian said, rushing out excitedly.

"Master, the Young Master has indeed changed."

Watching Wei Zian's cheerful figure, Wei Shanhai sighed.

"Yes, the recent attack on our family, though a calamity, has helped Zian grow. It's a blessing in disguise," Wei Xinghe said with satisfaction.

"But master, is it really appropriate to have the Young Master apprentice under Ma Gu? His cultivation level is still low," Wei Shanhai said, somewhat concerned.

Wei Xinghe nodded. "Indeed, Master Ma's cultivation is low, but Zian respects him. Previously, I hired highly skilled tutors, but Zian wouldn't listen. What good are they then?"

"Moreover, Master Ma has excellent character. He saved Madam and Zian, showing his virtue. Such a person is more than suitable as Zian's master."

"As for cultivation, our Wei family has plenty of methods and pills. As long as Zian works hard, we have the resources to improve his cultivation."

"For Zian, a master who can discipline him is more suitable than one with high skills."

Wei Shanhai thought for a moment, realizing the master's words made sense.

He also knew there was another unspoken reason.

Master Ma had a good relationship with Lu Qing, which was enough for them to value him.

After all, those two were truly unfathomable.

Even the Wei family dared not easily offend such formidable individuals.

"Alright, it's decided. You'll prepare it and ensure it's well done," Wei Xinghe concluded.

"Understood."

As Wei Shanhai went to prepare for the ceremony,

Ma Gu was stunned by Wei Zian's news.
