I Can See Through All Things' Information

"Is this the village where that kid named Lu Qing has been hiding?"

"This place is so ordinary, yet it can birth such an unparalleled genius. The Heavenly Dao Qi Fortune really is mysterious and unpredictable, beyond comprehension."

A figure with disheveled hair gazed at the tranquil mountain village ahead, a strange light flickering in his eyes. Stay updated via My Virtual Library Empire

He had spent quite some effort these past few days to scout out Lu Qing's whereabouts and then had immediately rushed over without stopping.

However, it seemed he hadn't sensed any powerful presence within the village.

"Could he have gone out?" the disheveled figure muttered to himself.

He didn't rush into the village. Rumor had it that Lu Qing's master was an enigmatic Innate Realm martial artist who had defeated Wang Cangyi of Tiancang Sect with a single move. The figure pondered how strong this master really was.

With his current strength, he already found it challenging enough to face someone at the Initial Innate Realm, let alone higher levels. There was no need to provoke a conflict unnecessarily.

The disheveled figure decided to lurk outside the village instead, waiting for a few days to see if an opportunity presented itself.

After all, with his ability, if he truly wanted to hide his presence, even those in the Innate Realm would struggle to detect him.

Just as the disheveled figure was about to find a hiding spot on a hillside outside of the village, waiting for the right moment,

suddenly, he heard a few sentences that made him halt in his tracks.

"Aunt Ming, do you think Ah Qing and Old Doctor Chen have left Cang State by now?"

"It's not that quick. Cang State is quite big, you know, and the horse carriage Ah Qing and the rest are on doesn't look like it can go very fast. It's only been two or three days, so they probably haven't left Cang State yet."

"Ah Qing and the others are going to Central State, but I have no idea how far it is or how long it will take to get there."

"I don't know either. I've never left our Cang State in my whole life, and I've only been to the county a few times. But I've heard the elderly in our village say that Central State is far away. With Ah Qing and the others setting off now, it would probably take more than a year or so to come back."

"That's so far. I wonder if Little Yan will cry on the way. It's not easy being away from home. Why did Old Doctor Chen and the rest have to go to such a distant place like Central State?"

"Old Doctor Chen and Ah Qing, they are all martial artists, after all. We wouldn't understand the affairs of such important people. Didn't you see that even the Wei Family's young master has set off with Ah Qing? They must have some very important matters to attend to."

The disheveled figure turned his head to see two village women, each carrying a bamboo basket and chatting as they walked out of the village.

Thinking about their conversation just now, he had an idea, and his facial expression immediately changed. Stooping over to match his tattered clothes, he appeared quite pitiful.

"Ladies, I would like to ask you something, if I may."

The disheveled figure approached the two village women and intercepted them with a voice that sounded weak.

"What is it, old man?"

Seeing an old man obstructing their path, the village women stopped.

"I've heard that there is a Divine Doctor in this place, known for medical benevolence, who can cure all manner of diseases. I've traveled for several days to seek treatment. Do you know where this Divine Doctor resides?"

The disheveled figure spoke with a frail voice, giving the impression of someone unwell.

"Are you looking for Old Doctor Chen's treatment, old man?"

One of the village women responded with some surprise, "You're a step late; Old Doctor Chen is not at home anymore. He and his disciple left for a long journey two days ago."

"How can this be?" the disheveled figure showed disappointment, "Do you know where Old Doctor Chen has traveled to and when he will return? I wonder if I could wait here for his return."

"That might be difficult. Old Doctor Chen and the rest have gone to Central State, which is said to be quite far away. It might be more than a year before they come back."

The village woman looked at him with pity, seeing that his health seemed to be in poor condition.

"That's a shame; it really is too bad."

The disheveled figure's face showed regret as he turned his body shakily, as though about to leave, but a cunning glint flashed in his eye.

"Hang on, old man."

At that moment, one of the farmwomen called out to him.

She then took out two rice balls from her bamboo basket and handed them to him, "You've come all this way and probably haven't had anything to eat. Here are two rice balls I brought for my husband who's working in the fields; you can take them for your journey."

The other village woman also extracted two vegetable dumplings from her basket: "I have some food here too; if you don't mind, old man, please take them."

Seeing the disheveled figure seemed stunned, the two women didn't wait for a response and stuffed the food into his hands.

"Old man, we have farm work to do. Be careful on your way back since you're advanced in years."

After giving their advice, the women hurried off towards the fields outside the village.

From beginning to end, the disheveled figure didn't move, just silently watched them leave.

Only after their figures had disappeared from the outskirts of the village did he withdraw his gaze.

Looking at the rice balls and vegetable dumplings in his hands, he casually tossed them into a nearby water ditch.

Such lowly food, he naturally disdained to eat.

"Consider this the cost of saving your lives. After all, the lives of you insects are as worthless as these food dumplings."

The disheveled figure chuckled lightly and turned to leave.

By his nature, anyone who had seen him should have been killed.

However, after all, they were only two village women and posed no threat to him; letting them go was of no consequence.

He also sensed, not far away in another courtyard, that there was a rather strong presence; rash action might alert them. He was still in pursuit of Lu Qing and it was not the time to raise additional complications.

"Is that the Innate Realm member of the Wei Family, who is only a step away from achieving Innate Minor Achievement?"

"Yet they're leaving on a long journey at this time; is it coincidence, or could it be that intangible Qi Fortune protecting you?"

Odd colors flashed in the disheveled figure's eyes.

"Truly a Child of Fate, with Qi Fortune protecting him and allowing him to evade danger beforehand."

"The more so, the more it shows how extraordinary you are."

"If I could consume you, my root bone would undoubtedly undergo a transformation like never before."

"Lu Qing, wait for me. You cannot escape the palm of my hand. You're destined to become my nourishment. Even the Heavenly Dao Qi Fortune can't keep protecting you forever. When you fall into my stomach, even the Qi Fortune you carry will be mine to claim..."

With these cold laughs, the disheveled figure also gradually disappeared from the outskirts of Jiuli Village.

At the village entrance, only the few rice and vegetable dumplings lay quietly in the ditch.

No one knew that such a terrifying Evil Demon had just been at this place.

Nor did the villagers know that, unknowingly, they had narrowly escaped a disaster.
