I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 215

"This is the village where that boy Lu Qing lives?"

"This place looks ordinary, yet it could give birth to such an unparalleled genius. The Heavenly Dao’s fortune is indeed mysterious and unfathomable."

A figure with disheveled hair looked at the tranquil mountain village ahead, his eyes showing a strange light.

In recent days, he had spent considerable effort to find out where Lu Qing was and had rushed over immediately once he had.

However, he seemed not to sense any powerful presence in the village.

"Is he out?" the disheveled figure murmured to himself.

He didn’t rush into the village. Rumor had it that Lu Qing's master was a mysterious Precelestial Realm expert who once defeated Wang Cangyi of the Tian Cang Sect with a single move. It was unknown just how powerful he was.

Given his current strength, even dealing with a novice Precelestial was quite challenging, let alone someone of a higher level. There was no need to provoke a conflict.

The disheveled figure decided to hide outside the village and wait for a few days to see if an opportunity would arise.

With his abilities, he could conceal his aura so well that even a Precelestial wouldn't detect his presence.

Just as the disheveled figure was about to hide on a hillside outside the village and wait for the right moment, he suddenly heard a few sentences that made him pause.

"Aunt Ming, do you know if A Qing and the old doctor have left Cangzhou yet?"

"How could they have left so quickly? Cangzhou is quite large, and the carriage they’re riding doesn’t look like it could travel fast. It’s only been two or three days; they shouldn’t have left Cangzhou yet."

"A Qing and the others are going to Zhongzhou. I wonder how far Zhongzhou is and how long it will take to get there."

"I don’t know either. I’ve never left Cangzhou in my life, and I’ve only been to the county town a few times. But I’ve heard from the village elders that Zhongzhou is very far away. A Qing and the others might not come back for a year or more."

"That far? I wonder if little Yan will cry on the way. Traveling is not easy. Why are the old doctor and A Qing going so far to Zhongzhou?"

"The old doctor and A Qing are martial artists. Important figures like them do things we can’t understand. Didn’t you see that even the Young Master Wei from the Wei family went with A Qing? It must be something very important."

The disheveled figure turned his head and saw two village women, carrying bamboo baskets, chatting as they walked out of the village.

Recalling their conversation, his heart moved, and his expression changed. He hunched over, his tattered clothes making him look quite pitiful.

"Ladies, I have something to ask you."

The disheveled figure stepped forward, stopping the two village women, and spoke weakly.

"Old man, what’s the matter?"

The two women stopped when they saw an old man blocking their way.

"I heard there is a divine doctor here who is very compassionate and can cure all diseases. I traveled for several days to seek treatment. Do you know where this divine doctor lives?"

The disheveled figure spoke weakly, looking like he was ill.

"Are you here to see Doctor Chen?"

One of the village women was surprised, "You’re a bit late. Doctor Chen is not at home. He and his apprentice left for a long journey two days ago."

"How can that be?" The disheveled figure showed disappointment. "Do you know where they went and when they will return? Can I wait here for them to come back?"

"That’s difficult. Doctor Chen went to Zhongzhou, which is far away. It might take a year or more for them to return."

The village woman looked at him with some pity, sensing that the old man’s health seemed poor.

"Is that so? That’s really unfortunate."

The disheveled figure looked regretful and turned away as if to leave, but his eyes flashed with a sinister light.

"Wait a minute, old man."

At this moment, one of the women called out to him.

She took two rice balls from her bamboo basket and handed them to him, "You came all this way and probably haven’t eaten yet. I have these rice balls for my husband working in the fields. You can take them to eat on the way."

The other woman also took out two vegetable buns, "I have some food here too. If you don’t mind, you can take these."

Seeing the disheveled figure hesitating, they forced the food into his hands.

"Old man, we have to get back to our farm work. Be careful on your way home."

After advising him, the women hurried off towards the fields outside the village.

The disheveled figure watched them leave without moving.

After they disappeared from view, he looked at the rice balls and buns in his hands and threw them into a nearby ditch.

He disdained such lowly food.

"Consider it your lives' ransom. After all, your lives are as lowly as these rice balls and buns."

The disheveled figure chuckled and left.

Normally, he would kill anyone who saw him, but these were just two harmless village women. They posed no threat, so he let them go.

Moreover, he sensed a powerful presence in a nearby courtyard. Acting recklessly might attract attention. He still had to pursue Lu Qing and didn’t want any complications.

"Is it the Wei family’s Precelestial? Quite capable, almost at the small accomplishment stage of the Precelestial Realm."

"But leaving for a journey at this time, is it a coincidence, or is fate protecting you?"

The disheveled figure’s eyes showed a strange light.

"As expected of a Child of Fortune, protected by fate in times of danger, able to avoid calamity."

"But the more extraordinary you are, the more valuable you become."

"If I devour you, my foundation will undergo an unprecedented transformation."

"Lu Qing, you can’t escape my grasp. You are destined to be my nourishment. Not even Heavenly Dao’s fortune can protect you forever. Once you fall into my hands, even your fortune will be mine..."

With cold laughter, the disheveled figure gradually disappeared outside Jiuli Village.

At the village entrance, only a few rice balls and vegetable buns lay quietly in the ditch.

No one knew that a terrifying demon had just visited.

The villagers were unaware that they had narrowly escaped disaster.
