I Can See Through Everything

Lu Qing carried his knife on his back, slowly walking through the mountains.

Xiao Li quietly perched on his shoulder.

During the battle between Lu Qing and the Heart-Snatcher Wolf, Xiao Li had always been lurking in the shadows.

If Lu Qing had shown any signs of being overwhelmed, it would have stepped in.

However, since the Heart-Snatcher Wolf was not a match for Lu Qing, it remained hidden.

Later, when Mago and the others arrived, it still did not reveal itself.

So, from beginning to end, no one knew that Lu Qing had such an ace up his sleeve.

Walking quietly in the mountains, Lu Qing remained silent, not uttering a word.

At this moment, he was in a state of indescribable emotion.

After all, those were dozens, even hundreds of human lives, not just a few ants.

The wails and pleas for mercy from those people before they died had indeed impacted Lu Qing's heart.

But rationally, Lu Qing understood that he had done nothing wrong.

Given the deeds of those in Happy Fort, even if they died ten times over, it wouldn't be too much.

On one hand, there was the psychological shock of personally ending so many lives.

On the other hand, there was the rational conviction of moral correctness.

Thus, Lu Qing was caught in a contradictory psychological struggle.

He knew he had to come to terms with this matter, or else today's events would become a demon in his heart, haunting him for life.

Walking aimlessly along the mountain path, various thoughts churned in Lu Qing's mind.

As he walked, he suddenly found himself in a wide-open space.

No trees obstructed the view ahead, and a bright moon hung in the sky, clear and bright.

Unknowingly, he had walked to a cliff top.

Lu Qing stood dazed, looking at the bright moon above, unmoving for a long time.

Suddenly, he smiled.

Drawing the battle knife from his back, he assumed a starting stance.

Xiao Li lightly jumped onto a nearby rock, watching quietly without disturbing him.

Lu Qing began to practice his blade technique.

He was still practicing the Four Directions Blade.

However, unlike the previous times when his practice was filled with vigor and momentum, this time it seemed particularly devoid of fireworks.

Each move was entirely restrained, like a ram's horn hanging from a tree, leaving no trace.

Wherever the battle knife went, it not only did not stir the air but seemed to completely merge into it, not causing a ripple.

If a martial arts expert were here to see Lu Qing's blade practice, they would be shocked.

Such grand and open moves, yet practiced with such calmness, indicated that Lu Qing's control over his own power had reached an extremely high level.

Only then could he practice the blade technique without leaking any power, fully concentrating it on the battle knife.

After practicing the

Four Directions Blade several times, Lu Qing sheathed his knife and stood still, gazing at the bright moon. His eyes were now calm and serene.

"To see one's true nature and hold onto one's original heart."

"A true martial arts master always acts according to their heart, without being constrained by so-called rules and regulations."

"As long as I believe what I am doing is right, even if it means being enemies with the world, my heart should remain unshaken."

"Just like this bright moon, no matter how the world changes or how deceitful people's hearts become, it remains pure and flawless, unchanged through the ages."

"Without such a mindset and belief, how could one ever hope to climb the peak of martial arts, break through the Postnatal realm, and achieve the status of a Precelestial grandmaster."

As Lu Qing looked at the bright moon in the sky, waves of understanding flowed through his heart.

The negative emotions that had arisen from killing nearly a hundred people dissipated completely.

In their place was a renewed determination to pursue martial arts.

"Unexpectedly, this trip to Happy Fort has given me an unexpected harvest. My control over my power has reached a new level, and my martial arts realm has achieved the peak of the Qi and Blood realm."

Indeed, just now, after gaining clarity of mind and refining his temperament, Lu Qing's martial arts realm had made significant progress.

In terms of realm comprehension, he had reached the peak of the Qi and Blood realm.

He now had perfect control over his Qi and Blood power, achieving seamless integration.

Of course, this was just the realm comprehension reaching the peak of the Qi and Blood realm.

Next, he still needed to continuously nurture his Qi and Blood, increasing the total amount of his Qi and Blood power to truly achieve the peak of the Qi and Blood realm.

At that time, he could attempt to break through to the next realm, the Tendons and Bones realm.

Meanwhile, having achieved this realm comprehension also meant that the previous limitation of refining only one Blood Replenishing and Qi-boosting Pill per day no longer existed.

In the coming days, as long as he had enough pills, he could unrestrainedly enhance his Qi and Blood power.

Because, no matter how much Qi and Blood power he had, he could perfectly control it.

"Xiao Li, let's go back."

With these thoughts, Lu Qing no longer wanted to stay here. He called out and started walking down the mountain.

He had been away from the village for a long time.

He wondered how worried everyone was about him.

With a swoosh, Xiao Li landed back on Lu Qing's shoulder.

"Xiao Li, this time I owe you a lot. In a couple of days, I'll catch some rare fish for you to eat, how about that?"

"Roar~"

...

Standing on a small hill, looking at Jiuli Village under the moonlight ahead, Lu Qing felt a surge of emotions.

After witnessing the ugly faces of Zhao Lao San, Laizi Tou, and other villagers from other villages, he felt extremely fortunate that he had crossed over to such a simple village as Jiuli Village.

Otherwise, he and Xiao Yan might not have survived.

This was also one of the reasons why he insisted on completely eliminating Happy Fort.

He could have taken Xiao Yan and left, but if he did that, Jiuli Village would not escape the revenge of Happy Fort.

Now that Happy Fort had been eradicated, although there was still the hidden threat of the Black Wolf Gang, their forces were far away in the county seat. With Mago's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to temporarily conceal Lu Qing's identity.

Lu Qing believed that given a little more time, it wouldn't be long before even the Black Wolf Gang would no longer be a threat.

As he approached the village entrance, Xiao Li suddenly leaped off Lu Qing's shoulder and disappeared into the darkness.

Lu Qing was taken aback and then heard a voice ahead, full of surprise and uncertainty, "A Qing?"

Lu Qing looked carefully and saw a figure jumping out from behind the village's faith tree.

With the help of the moonlight, he immediately recognized who it was.

"Brother Da'an?"

"It's really you, A Qing. You finally came back!"

Wang Da'an let out a big sigh of relief, overjoyed.

"Brother Da'an, why are you here?" Lu Qing asked.

"You said you'd be back soon when you went out this morning. We've been waiting for you all day, but you didn't return. Everyone is worried sick, and Grandpa Zhang sent me here to wait for you," Wang Da'an explained.

"I'm sorry for making everyone worry," Lu Qing said apologetically.

"A Qing, now that you're back, what about the Black Wolf Gang?" Wang Da'an asked cautiously.

"It's been taken care of. The Black Wolf Gang won't be coming to our village to cause trouble anytime soon," Lu Qing replied.

"That's great, A Qing! You're amazing! Come on, let's go back. Everyone's waiting for you!" Wang Da'an said excitedly, reaching out to pull Lu Qing.

"Wait a moment."

Lu Qing did not immediately follow him back but walked to the faith tree and took down the red ribbon he had tied there in the morning, placing it back under the stone slab.

"Alright, let's go."
