I Can See Through Everything

"Young Master, Young Master!"

The head steward of the Wei family saw the eyelids of the young master twitch and couldn't help but call out softly.

Finally, under his call, Young Master Wei slowly opened his eyes.

At first, his eyes were full of confusion, but after a while, they gradually brightened with clarity.

"Where am I?"

"Young Master, you are finally awake!"

The head steward's face lit up with excitement, tears almost falling.

"Uncle Hai?" Young Master Wei turned his head, surprised, "Why are you here, and why am I lying here?"

Young Master Wei tried to get up, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain surged through him, causing him to cry out in pain, breaking into a cold sweat.

Old Doctor Chen gently pressed him down and took out a silver needle, pricking him a few times.

With this help, the intense pain Young Master Wei felt greatly lessened, and he slowly regained his composure.

"Who are you? And Uncle Hai, why does my body hurt so much?"

"Young Master, do you remember anything? Guard Li and the others said you accidentally fell into a ravine in the mountains, and your stomach was cut open by rocks. You were in critical condition, but thanks to Old Doctor Chen here, your life was saved."

The head steward explained slowly.

He had never fully believed the story told by Guard Li and the others.

Now that the young master was awake, he could finally ask for the truth.

"The mountains, falling into a ravine..." Young Master Wei tried hard to recall.

Finally, he remembered what happened before he lost consciousness.

"Yes, I went into the mountains with Guard Li and the others, wanting to find a special birthday gift for my father."

"In the mountains, I encountered a very peculiar black beast. I told Guard Li and the others not to interfere, wanting to catch it myself."

"I didn't expect the beast to be so agile. I couldn't catch it, and as I chased it, I reached the edge of a cliff. Seeing the beast about to jump off, I hastily followed, and after that, I can't remember much."

Hearing this, the head steward was relatively calm, but Old Doctor Chen's heart skipped a beat.

The black beast described by Young Master Wei sounded like the little beast that often came to Lu Qing for fish.

"It seems Guard Li and the others weren't lying." The head steward nodded secretly.

If the guards had lied even a little, they would have faced unbearable punishment.

Now, although they still couldn't avoid punishment, at least their lives were spared.

"By the way, Uncle Hai, you said my stomach was cut open?"

At this moment, Young Master Wei suddenly reacted, showing a terrified expression as he tried to sit up and look at his stomach.

However, the head steward, prepared this time, gently pressed him down.

He comforted him softly, "Young Master, don't worry. The wound on your stomach is not serious anymore. With some rest, it will heal completely."

"But, but you said my stomach was cut open!"

Young Master Wei's face was still full of fear.

He couldn't imagine what it looked like to have his stomach cut open.

Can a person still live with their stomach cut open?

The head steward could only continue to comfort him softly.

Fortunately, Young Master Wei was weak, and after being awake for a while, he fell back into a deep sleep.

When the news that the young master had woken up reached outside, the Wei family's guards cheered.

Especially Guard Li and the others, who felt a huge weight lifted off their shoulders.

The young master waking up meant his life was no longer in danger.

Although they couldn't avoid punishment, at least their lives were spared.

As for Mago, he was almost moved to tears upon hearing the news.

He hadn't slept well since Young Master Wei came to his place.

Last night, he didn't dare to rest at all, fearing any disturbance and bad news.

Now, hearing truly good news, the heavy burden in his heart lifted, and even as a strong Tendons and Bones Realm martial artist, he felt his limbs go weak and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Old Doctor Chen, it is all thanks to your miraculous skills that my young master survived. The Wei family is deeply grateful."

"I have already sent someone to report this to the family head. In a few days, our Wei family will present you with generous gifts."

The head steward deeply bowed to the old doctor.

After seeing the young master's condition before he woke up, the head steward knew it was all due to the old doctor's efforts that saved the young master's life.

If those useless guards had tried to bring the young master back to the city, he might not have survived the journey.

"No need for such courtesy. I was just doing my duty as a doctor." The old doctor waved his hand indifferently.

"Old Doctor Chen truly has the heart of a healer," the head steward praised.

No wonder even the County Magistrate spoke highly of this old doctor. His demeanor surpassed many famous doctors in the provincial and capital cities.

"Old Doctor Chen, now that my young master is awake, when can he return home?"

The old doctor thought for a moment, "Not yet. The young master is still weak, and the wound on his stomach hasn't healed. Any jostling could cause the wound to reopen and bleed profusely."

"He needs a few more days of rest to regain some strength and let the wound scab over before he can travel."

The head steward naturally trusted the old doctor's judgment.

He immediately said, "Then we will trouble the old doctor for a few more days."

"This is no problem. However, my place is small, and I'm afraid I can't accommodate so many people."

"I wouldn't dare trouble the old doctor. I will have the others find their own lodging. Only I will stay here."

"That's fine. I can manage to prepare one or two guest rooms, but the conditions are simple. I hope the head steward won't mind."

"Not at all."

"I will have my disciple prepare a room for you."

After this, the head steward went outside to instruct the guards, telling them the young master needed a few more days of rest.

Some were to return to report to the main house, while others would stay with Mago, ready to act at any time.

As for himself, he stayed at the Halfway House to take care of the young master.

No one dared question the head steward's words, so the Wei family's guards quickly dispersed, and the Halfway House gradually returned to peace.

Only Mago felt troubled, as the Wei family's guards had to stay at his place, putting him on edge again.

However, he didn't dare refuse and went to make arrangements.

"Master, the guest room is ready."

Lu Qing came to inform his master after preparing a guest room.

"Thank you, young master."

The head steward looked at Lu Qing, his gaze filled with some surprise.

Previously, he was too worried about the young master to pay attention to anything else.

Now he noticed that the old doctor's disciple, so young, was already a martial artist in the Qi and Blood Realm.

Such talent could be called genius even in the provincial city.

"Head steward?"

The old doctor noticed the head steward's gaze and called out.

The head steward came to his senses and praised, "A great teacher produces outstanding students. Your disciple is extraordinary, already accomplished in martial arts at such a young age."

"My disciple just had some good fortune and a few lucky encounters to break through. It's his good fortune to receive your praise."

The old doctor spoke modestly, but his satisfaction was evident on his face.

"Haha, the old doctor is too modest."

The head steward laughed, secretly thinking that the family's gratitude gifts should also consider the old doctor's disciple.

Lu Qing remained silent, adhering to his role as a disciple.

After the two finished talking, he respectfully said, "Master, I have prepared breakfast and put it in the kitchen. Also, I would like to go home for a bit."

He had been busy at the Halfway House for a day and a night, not knowing how things were at home.

More importantly, he hadn't fed the black beast last night and wondered how it was doing.

If it got angry and destroyed the house, it would be a disaster.

"Go ahead. You've been busy for a long time. Take a good rest. The young master's condition is stable now, no need to keep watch constantly," the old doctor nodded.

Lu Qing bowed and went to the old doctor's room, picking up the still-sleeping Xiao Yan.

The magic of the Blue-armored Fish Stone had to be mentioned again.

Despite the commotion in the courtyard last night, Xiao Yan hadn't woken up and slept soundly in the room.

Lu Qing didn't wake her, carrying her as he walked down the mountain.

When he got home, Lu Qing immediately checked the front door.

Seeing it intact, he sighed in relief.

It seemed the black beast hadn't gotten angry and destroyed the house.

Relaxing, Lu Qing opened the door and was about to enter.

Suddenly, he sensed something was wrong.

Instinctively, he looked up.

Then he saw, in the corner of the eaves above, a pair of bright eyes looking at him with grievance.
