I Can See Through Everything

In the morning, the Wei residence was filled with joy.

Inside and outside the mansion, lanterns and decorations were set up, creating a festive atmosphere.

Even the servants and maids wore smiles on their faces.

Today was the auspicious day of the Young Master’s apprenticeship ceremony. The lady of the house would certainly reward everyone generously, and they had already received an initial reward in the morning. How could they not be happy?

At this time, the guests had not yet arrived. Mago, dressed in elegant attire, waited in the small bamboo courtyard.

"Master Ma, relax a bit. Today is the auspicious day of officially taking the Young Master as your apprentice. You should be happy," Lu Qing said, noticing Mago’s uneasiness.

"That's true, but I still feel a bit anxious," Mago replied with a wry smile.

"There's no need to worry. In the Wei residence, no one would dare cause trouble. The Young Master genuinely wishes to be your apprentice, so just follow the procedure," Lu Qing reassured him. "You’ve survived far more dangerous situations than this, so why worry about a mere apprenticeship ceremony?"

Mago felt much more at ease after hearing this.

Initially, the Wei family had intended for the ceremony to take place at the Ma residence, with Wei Xinghe bringing Wei Zian to formally become Mago's apprentice.

However, the Ma family panicked at the thought and quickly declined. They couldn’t possibly let Wei Xinghe, a prominent figure in the county, lower himself in such a manner.

Moreover, the Ma family was just a minor family in the county. They couldn’t possibly handle the influx of powerful guests who would come to celebrate.

In the end, after discussing with the head steward, it was decided that the ceremony would be held at the Wei residence. At least there, no one would dare make trouble.

"Master Mago, Young Master Lu, the head steward said the auspicious time is near. He asked me to come fetch you," a servant respectfully informed them.

"Brother Lu Qing, let's go," Mago said.

"Alright," Lu Qing nodded, then called into the house, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, it's time to go."

"Brother, can we go see the festivities?" the two children asked eagerly, rushing out of the house.

"Yes, we’re going outside for a feast!" Lu Qing picked up Xiao Yan and walked out with Mago.

Xiao Li climbed onto his shoulder, looking excitedly at the outside world.

The old doctor would not be attending the ceremony, and even Wei Shanhai would not be present. As Precelestial realm experts, their presence would make everyone else at the banquet uncomfortable.

On the way, Mago was led by a servant to the main house to prepare, while Lu Qing took Xiao Yan and Xiao Li to the front yard.

In the front yard, it was already quite lively, with many guests having arrived.

Using his ability, Lu Qing scanned the crowd and saw that most of the attendees were heads of various families and factions from the city, clearly showing great respect for the Wei family.

Xiao Yan and Xiao Li looked around with wide eyes, finding everything fascinating.

Lu Qing's arrival caused a bit of a stir.

Heads of various factions, who had been engaged in lively discussions, fell silent upon seeing Lu Qing, staring at him in awe.

"Master Li, why did you stop talking?" a warrior at the same table asked, following Master Li's gaze to see Lu Qing, and then also falling silent.

Other guests also noticed Lu Qing.

The previously lively courtyard suddenly grew quiet.

Almost all the guests looked at Lu Qing with a mixture of respect and fear, not daring to speak loudly.

This scene caught the attention of a few disciples from the Qingyun Sword Sect, sparking their interest.

"Young Master Lu, Young Miss Lu, you've arrived. The head steward has arranged your seats here," Wei Dazongguan, who had been welcoming guests, quickly led Lu Qing to an important table.

Several people were already seated there.

One couple in particular looked uneasy, with low cultivation levels.

"Thank you, head steward," Lu Qing said, sitting down with Xiao Yan and nodding politely to the others at the table.

"Let me introduce you, Young Master Lu. This is Master Ma, and these are Master Mago's parents," Wei Dazongguan explained, knowing that Lu Qing was not familiar with the county's affairs.

Lu Qing realized that the seemingly unimportant couple were actually Mago's parents.

"Greetings, Uncle and Aunt, Master Ma. I am Lu Qing, a friend of Master Ma. You can call me A Qing," Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Oh no, we wouldn't dare, Young Master Lu," Master Ma quickly replied.

He was well aware of Lu Qing’s prowess, having witnessed his battle with a martial arts grandmaster firsthand. He wouldn’t dare to address such an eminent warrior casually.

Mago's parents looked even more nervous.

Though they were simple people, they were not foolish.

From the way the atmosphere changed when Lu Qing arrived, the head steward’s personal welcome, and Master Ma’s attitude, it was clear that this young man was a significant figure.

They couldn’t understand how their son had become acquainted with such an important person.

Honestly, even now, Mago’s parents felt as though they were dreaming.

Although they had always been proud of their son, who had trained to the Tendons and Bones Realm and become a pillar of the family, the idea of him taking the Young Master of the Wei family as an apprentice was beyond belief.

Even after receiving the news days ago and now sitting in the Wei residence, it still felt surreal to them.

Seeing Master Ma ingratiate himself to Lu Qing, the other guests didn’t look down on him; instead, they were envious.

Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with someone like Lu Qing, a top martial artist with an even more mysterious and powerful Precelestial realm master backing him?

The Ma family had truly struck gold. Not only was Mago about to become the Young Master’s mentor, but they also seemed to be forming ties with Lu Qing. Their rise was inevitable.

However, despite their jealousy, none of the guests dared to show any dissatisfaction.

In fact, with Lu Qing present, everyone’s conversation became much quieter and more reserved, unlike the earlier relaxed atmosphere.

This only heightened the interest of the Qingyun Sword Sect disciples.

"Brother Li, who is that young man? He commands such respect, and it seems the guests are all in awe of him," one disciple asked a young man at their table.

The table was filled with young people, brought by their family heads to gain some experience.

The young man addressed as Brother Li looked bewildered. "I don’t know. He’s unfamiliar to me. We’ve never seen him before."
