I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 439

Chapter 439 Reason, do you dare to take it?

When the young man in the finery mentioned the name Li Weitian,

Lu Qing finally understood why he had suddenly felt a stirring in his heart.

Back then, in the Jade Cave, he had obtained the inheritance jade slip left by Li Weitian.

It had greatly aided him in his early cultivation,

and he could be considered to have received a favor from Li Weitian.

He had originally thought that after so much time, all traces of Li Weitian had vanished into thin air.

Unexpectedly, a branch of his clan still survived.

Hearing the young man in the finery mention that the small clan had committed a crime, Lu Qing knew that it was time to pay back the debt.

As Lu Qing pondered this, the conversation at the restaurant continued.

“Li Weitian?”

A look of bewilderment crossed Yan Canghai’s face, clearly unfamiliar with the name.

“It’s normal for Fourth Brother not to know this person. This Li Weitian lived seven or eight hundred years ago. When he was here, our Yan family hadn’t even claimed the throne yet.

It was by chance that I specifically looked up information about him and learned some of his deeds,” the young man in the finery said with a smile.

“A figure from seven or eight hundred years ago?”

Yan Canghai suddenly realized. That’s what he’d been saying. Even if he’d been away from the capital for some time, if some truly remarkable figure had appeared, he shouldn’t have been completely unaware of them.

Curious, he asked, “What’s so special about this Li Weitian that you’re so concerned about him?”

“Seven or eight hundred years ago, Li Weitian was a supremely powerful being. It’s

said that his cultivation had already reached the pinnacle of perfection.

As the protector of the Ji Kingdom, he, with his single sword, overwhelmed all the Xiantian Realm powerhouses of the surrounding kingdoms. He

was arguably one of the strongest in the world at the time.

Even in Zhongzhou, few could rival him!”

“Such a powerful being!”

Yan Canghai was startled, but quickly recovered.

“Ji Kingdom? Doesn’t that mean…”

“Yes, it’s the Ji Kingdom, the predecessor of our Yan Kingdom,” the young man in elegant attire nodded.

“Back then, ‘Ji Kingdom’ was considered powerful among all the countries in our East Xinjiang region.

One of the big reasons for this was the existence of Li Weitian.

But later, after Li Weitian disappeared, ‘Ji Kingdom’ declined.

After struggling for more than a hundred years, it finally fell apart.

Most of its territory was ruled by our Yan family, and this is how our ‘Yan Kingdom’ came into being.”

“There is such a secret.” Yan Canghai murmured.

“The map in my hand was obtained from the descendants of Li Weitian.

Back then, Li Weitian’s martial arts skills were extremely high and it was difficult for him to meet an opponent.

But at the same time, he also had a strong and explosive temperament and was brave and aggressive.

When he was still the protector of the ‘Ji Kingdom’, he had challenged the powerful Xiantian Realm masters from the surrounding countries.

Even if the other party stayed indoors, he would still go to their door and forcefully challenge them.

The records in the classics show that he was undefeated in all those challenges and could be called invincible.

But he also offended many people because of his character.

So after Li Weitian disappeared, his family naturally suffered revenge.

Even though the Xiantian Realm could not directly attack ordinary people, , but under the instigation of many powerful people, the Li family quickly declined.

Later, they disappeared and were never seen again.

At that time, many people thought that it was some innate realm powerhouse who secretly made a move and completely wiped out the Li family.

I only recently learned that the Li family was not destroyed back then.

Instead, they took the initiative to divide the clansmen, broke up into small groups, hid their identities, and hid in the mountains and the countryside, so that they could survive.

However, in this way, after hundreds of years of wars and changes.

The Li family has also changed from a once prosperous family to a small family with only dozens of people left. “

Hearing the story of the young man in gorgeous clothes, Yan Canghai had an inexplicable feeling. No matter

how prosperous a family is, it cannot withstand the changes of the world and the ups and downs.

But what he was more curious about was another thing.

“Since the Li family has long since changed its name, how did you know all these things and get the map?”

“It was a coincidence. I recently took in a new concubine.

As a result, when I took her out for a walk that day, a lecher bumped into us.

In a rage, I arrested his entire family and prepared to put them in jail for execution.

I never thought that the lecher was the son of the current patriarch of the Li family.

In order to survive, the patriarch of the Li family handed over the map and explained the origins of his family.

He wanted to use this to save the lives of his own family.

It is said that this map was left in the family by Li Weitian before he disappeared.

After hearing about it, I was quite interested and wanted to unlock the secret of the map.

If there is really any treasure, it can be presented to my father as a birthday gift.”

The young man in gorgeous clothes said it nicely, but Yan Canghai, who knew his character well, immediately heard the trick.

He immediately sneered, “What a lecher! I’m afraid they were originally a couple. You see how beautiful that girl is, so you forcibly snatched her away to be your concubine?”

The young man in fine clothes did not deny it, saying calmly, “It’s her blessing to be favored by me. She can enjoy wealth and glory, which is better than marrying into a small family.”

“So, once you’ve cracked the map’s secret, what do you plan to do with the Li family?” Yan Canghai asked again.

“If the treasures hidden in the map satisfy me, I might consider letting them go.

But if there’s nothing, then let’s handle everything impartially.”

Yan Canghai’s face shone with sarcasm.

He still didn’t understand his seventh brother’s character.

The so-called impartiality was a matter of his own.

“So, fourth brother, now that I’ve been so frank, could you introduce me to Lord Zhirui?”

Yan Canghai pondered for a moment before saying, “I can mention this to Zhirui, but I can’t guarantee he’ll be willing to see you.”

“As long as you’re willing to introduce me, fourth brother, it’ll be all fine. It’s well-known that the people of Tianji Tower love to explore the secrets of the world. This map may be related to the sudden disappearance of Li Weitian hundreds of years ago.

I believe Lord Zhirui will be very interested in the final whereabouts of such a supremely powerful person,”

the young man in elegant clothes said confidently.

Yan Canghai said nothing.

But in his heart, he didn’t think so.

Knowing Zhirui well, he was sure that if he knew what kind of person this Seventh Brother was, he wouldn’t be willing to help him decipher the secrets on the map.

“This is the Wei family’s steward, right?”

The young man in elegant attire turned to the Great Steward Wei.

The Great Steward Wei was moved, thinking that it was finally his turn.

He bowed slightly and said, “I’m Wei Hai, and I’m honored to meet the Seventh Prince.”

Unexpectedly, the young man’s face suddenly darkened. “Great Steward Wei, your Wei family is quite arrogant. I was originally planning to invite your Patriarch to a banquet, but a servant like you came.

How come, even though I, Yan Cangshan, personally hosted the banquet, your Patriarch doesn’t even want to come?”

Before the Great Steward Wei could reply, Yan Canghai, standing beside him, shuddered.

He quickly said, “I invited the Great Steward Wei here. As for the Patriarch, he’s a powerful Xiantian Realm expert and has long since stopped caring about worldly matters.” The

Great Steward Wei then added, “Please forgive the Seventh Prince. The Patriarch has recently had some insights into his cultivation and has been in seclusion for a long time. He really can’t attend the banquet.”

The young man in ornate attire remained silent, but the worry on his face was evident.

However, even as he remained silent, a guard behind him sneered,

“Hmph, a mere Xiantian Realm breakthrougher, yet he’s acting so arrogantly. Anyone who didn’t know would think he’d reached a realm higher than Xiantian!”

At the same time, a faint Xiantian pressure descended upon Chief Steward Wei, causing his body to sag and his face to flush.

Yan Canghai also felt a slight discomfort, but he was even more shocked.

Only at the Inner Visceral Realm did he suddenly realize that his seventh brother’s guard was actually a Xiantian Realm expert!

How could such a Xiantian Realm expert choose to guard his seventh brother?

Yan Canghai’s heart was in turmoil.

He felt that after years away from the capital, in Cang County, the changes in the world were completely beyond his comprehension.

“Alright, stop it,” the young man in ornate attire said.

With his words, the guard immediately restrained his aura.

Chief Steward Wei shuddered, nearly losing his balance, sweat oozing from his forehead.

Seeing this, Yan Canghai was shocked again.

Such obedience proved that the guard truly obeyed Yan Cangshan’s orders.

“By the way, I haven’t introduced them to you, Fourth Brother,”

the young man in elegant attire said, as if seeing through Yan Canghai’s thoughts.

“These guard commanders are the elite of our Yan Clan, specially assigned by ‘Tian Lao’ to protect me.”

Several guard commanders…

in other words, these guards were all Xiantian Realm powerhouses?

Yan Canghai looked at the seemingly ordinary guards with disbelief in his eyes.

A sense of absurdity welled up in his heart.

What had happened to the clan in the years since he left the capital?

Even Xiantian Realm powerhouses were being casually dispatched to guard a prince, and several at once.

And did ‘Tian Lao’ believe so highly in Yan Cangshan that he actually assigned so many Xiantian Realm powerhouses to protect him?

At this point, Yan Canghai finally understood why his seventh brother was so confident he would be the next to ascend to the throne.

For him to be so highly regarded by the “Old Man of Heaven,” it must be a certainty.

For a moment, Yan Canghai’s emotions grew incredibly complex.

The young man in elegant attire saw Yan Canghai’s expression, knowing the desired intimidating effect had been achieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

Turning to the Chief Steward Wei, he said calmly, “Chief Steward Wei, huh? Go back and tell your Patriarch that this prince is deeply displeased.

If he wishes to earn this prince’s forgiveness, he must come and offer a sincere apology.

Otherwise, I guarantee that your Wei family will no longer have a single place in our ‘Yan Kingdom.'”

“Yes, Seventh Prince, I’ll report this to the Patriarch when I get back.”

Chief Steward Wei, understanding the principle of never giving up when things are not going well, said this respectfully.

“By the way, I heard that your Wei family has a treasure that once attracted the Tiancang Sect in the northern border to come and fight for it.

Go back and tell your family head that if he offers that treasure as an apology

, I may forgive his rudeness this time and give him a chance to be loyal to me.”

The young man in elegant clothes continued.

After hearing this, Wei Daguan finally understood.

This Seventh Prince had probably been targeting their Wei family from the beginning.

The so-called banquet was actually an excuse.

Even if the family head really came this time, he was afraid that he would have other excuses to make the family head offer the treasure.

After understanding this, Wei Daguan felt relieved.

Because he knew who had the treasure now.

However, he did not show it, and still said very respectfully, “Yes, I understand.”

Yan Canghai’s heart moved at this time.

He thought about the relationship between the Wei family and that person.

Just as he was hesitating whether to remind the young man in elegant clothes.

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out, “No need to trouble Patriarch Wei. The treasure is in my hands. It all depends on whether you dare to claim it.”

“Who!”

“Who!”

The sudden voice startled the elegantly dressed young man and the others.

The Xiantian Realm guards were especially shocked.

None of them had sensed anyone approaching.

But the next moment, something even more surprising occurred.

A figure appeared in the room.

None of them saw how it appeared.

Immediately, the Xiantian Realm guards blocked the elegantly dressed young man, staring at him with extreme vigilance.

“Young Master Lu!”

Only Chief Steward Wei, upon seeing Lu Qing, was overjoyed and exclaimed.

“Young Master Lu!”

Yan Canghai was equally astonished.

He hadn’t expected this person to appear just as he had thought of him.

“Who are you?”

The elegantly dressed young man was also surprised by Lu Qing’s appearance, but when he saw that the person was just a boy who looked a few years younger than him, he was shocked.

In addition, he was protected by several people in the Xiantian realm, so he immediately felt relieved and asked about Lu Qing’s origins.

“It doesn’t matter who I am, but you want the Wei family’s treasure, don’t you? It’s here, do you dare take it?”

Lu Qing held out his hand. In his palm lay a thumb-sized ancient cauldron.

“Is that the treasure?”

The young man in elegant attire wondered why the Wei family’s treasure ended up in Lu Qing’s possession.

But the moment he laid eyes on the small cauldron, he was instantly captivated.

Though the ancient cauldron in Lu Qing’s palm was small, he sensed a profoundly unique aura from it.

As for the several Xiantian Realm cultivators, it was even more so.

The aura of the principles emanating from the spiritual artifact itself was so palpable to them.

They immediately understood.

This small cauldron was an extremely rare treasure!

“Seventh Prince, we must seize this treasure. It’s probably the legendary magical weapon!

If we can seize it and present it to ‘Tian Lao’, he will surely be delighted!”

Immediately, one of the guards used a secret technique to transmit a message to the young man in elegant attire.

A magical weapon!

The young man in elegant attire was struck by the thought.

Although he had just reached the peak of his internal organs, he was very knowledgeable about cultivation.

Especially after being recognized by the “Old Man of Heaven”, he knew a lot more about cultivating immortals.

He immediately understood how precious the thing in Lu Qing’s hand was.

His thoughts turned, but his face remained expressionless.

Instead, he turned to Yan Canghai and said with a smile: “This young man, are you a friend of my fourth brother? Such a talented young man, why don’t you introduce him to me?”

But the next moment, he was startled.

He saw that Yan Canghai’s expression was very complicated, as if he wanted to remind him of something.
