I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 452

Chapter 452: The Curtain Falls, Invitation from Hanshui Palace

“What Jindan Zhenren? This Li Changbo is worse than an animal!”

When Li Changbo came to his senses, the first words he heard were these insults.

He immediately flew into a rage.

Who is so ignorant of life and death that dares to insult me like this!

He was about to cast a spell to blast the insulter into pieces, but suddenly found that he was completely unable to move. He

could not use even a trace of the surging Jindan realm power in his body.

A young man in front of him was looking at him with a half-smile.

Only then did he realize that he had been suppressed by the terrifying young man in front of him.

At the same time, he also recalled everything he had just experienced in the illusion.

Listening to the insults from the whole city below, he suddenly understood what was going on and his face turned pale.

“Awake?” Lu Qing said calmly. “It seems you weren’t so devoted to your wife after all.

That poor woman, you deceived her to such an extent. Even before her death, she pleaded for you.

Little did she know she’d put her trust in the wrong person. It

was her beloved husband who had pushed her into the abyss.”

Li Changbo’s face paled. He wanted to defend himself, but the words were impossible.

Lu Qing, on the other hand, lost interest in continuing the conversation. He

reached out, and a black vortex emerged from his palm, swallowing Li Changbo in horror.

As Li Changbo vanished, everything returned to calm.

“Your Highness, this Li Changbo…”

the Hanshui Palace Master asked hesitantly.

“Don’t worry, he won’t appear in this world again,”

Lu Qing said calmly, without explaining why he had taken Li Changbo away.

The Hanshui Palace Master felt instantly relieved.

Given Lu Qing’s status, if he said that, it must be true.

And from what she knew of this man’s past, he seemed to be someone who hated evil with a vengeance.

So, Li Changbo’s fate was already sealed.

Thinking of this, the Hanshui Palace Master bowed to Lu Qing again, “Thank you, Your Excellency, for your help in eliminating this evildoer and saving our Hanshui Palace from this dire situation. We, the entire Hanshui Palace, will never forget this great favor.”

“That’s not necessary. I simply happened to be passing by. If it weren’t for Li Changbo’s excessive dominance and cruelty, I wouldn’t have wanted to interfere in your feud.”

Lu Qing shook his head and said, “Now that this matter is over, we should take our leave.”

With that, he pulled Xiaoyan aside and began to leave.

“Wait a minute, Your Excellency!” the Hanshui Palace Master said hurriedly.

Lu Qing paused and turned to look over.

“Your Excellency, your assistance has saved not only our Hanshui Palace, but also the entire Hanshui City.

We, Hanshui Palace, cannot possibly repay this kindness.

However, over tens of thousands of years, our Hanshui Palace has accumulated a number of treasures.

I, Your Excellency, would like to invite you to view them. If anything strikes your fancy, you may choose.”

“You are giving me a treasure?” Lu Qing was surprised.

“Your Excellency’s cultivation is unparalleled, but I wonder if the treasures of our Hanshui Palace will meet your eye.”

Lu Qing hesitated.

To be honest, he was quite tempted.

Due to the characteristics of the Perfect Golden Elixir, he was currently very short of resources for cultivation.

If he could find some supplementary resources from the Hanshui Palace’s treasury, it would be quite a relief.

Moreover…

Lu Qing glanced at Xiaoyan, who was gazing intently at the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace, and thought of her icy and graceful gift.

Lu Qing had already made up his mind, a faint smile playing on his face. “Since that’s the case, I’ll be honored to receive your invitation.”

The Palace Master of Hanshui Palace was immediately delighted: “Thank you, Your Excellency. Please come with me into the palace.”

Led by the Palace Master, Lu Qing and Xiaoyan slowly descended into the vast ice palace.

As they watched Lu Qing and the others disappear into the ice palace, the people of Hanshui City fell silent for a

moment. Then, a sudden buzzing sound, like boiling water, erupted.

The entire city of Hanshui City erupted in excitement.

Countless people were discussing what had just happened.

“Who was that young man? Even a Jindan True Immortal was powerless against him?”

“The Palace Master called him Supreme! How could someone in this world be honored as Supreme by the Lord of the Four Secret Lands!”

“He could defeat a Jindan Realm cultivator so easily. What level of cultivation does this Supreme have?”

…

Amidst the city’s chatter, the question most curious was Lu Qing’s identity and origins.

But amidst all the discussion, no one knew who Lu Qing really was.

Regardless of Lu Qing’s origins, the people of the city were grateful to him.

They had all heard Li Changbo’s words clearly.

That guy was a complete, inhumane scumbag and demon.

If he got angry, he could really burn everyone here to death.

So, as the Palace Master had said, Lu Qing’s capture and killing of him saved them all from danger.

And at this moment, the most excited person among them was undoubtedly the restaurant owner.

He shouted to the crowd, “Your Excellency and the others just dined at my restaurant. I even personally delivered meat to them several times!”

Immediately, countless people rushed to the restaurant.

They all knew the owner hadn’t lied.

Lu Qing and the others had indeed been standing on the roof of this restaurant.

…

Naturally, Lu Qing and the others hadn’t paid attention to what was happening outside.

As soon as they landed, the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace ordered, “Come, prepare the banquet immediately.”

“Yes! Palace Master!”

The people in the Ice Palace had witnessed the events in the sky clearly.

Some Hanshui Palace disciples who had been to Zhongzhou also recognized Lu Qing’s identity.

Without hesitation, they all responded and set up the banquet.

The Palace Master of Hanshui Palace led Lu Qing and Xiaoyan to a palace.

Then, “Your Excellency, my appearance is truly embarrassing. Please allow me to wash up.”

Lu Qing nodded slightly.

The Palace Master of Hanshui Palace did look a bit disheveled.

Not to mention the clothes and hair that had been burned by Li Changbo’s flames, the blood that was spit out when he was seriously injured later also stained a lot of the clothes.

After the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace left, Lu Qing took Xiaoyan to stroll around the hall.

This hall was obviously built by Hanshui Palace to welcome distinguished guests.

There were many exquisite decorations and carvings in the hall.

Some of the carvings had flowing meanings on them, which made Lu Qing nod secretly.

It was obvious that the people of Hanshui Palace were quite good at art.

These carvings were obviously the works of masters, with very high artistic attainments.

“Your Excellency is interested in carving?”

At this time, a cold voice sounded, and the figure of the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace came out from the back of the hall.

Lu Qing turned around and felt a slight brightness in front of his eyes.

The Palace Master of Hanshui Palace had changed into a pale green dress.

Paired with her cool demeanor, it created a unique allure.

Even her aura, seemingly mellowed by some elixir, had become even more serene.

The hint of fragility etched by her injuries made her even more pathetic.

Lu Qing, however, merely admired them for a moment before retracting her gaze.

“These carvings are full of flowing meaning,” she praised, “I imagine they were created by a master artist. They’re truly remarkable.”

Seeing Lu Qing’s clear gaze, the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace knew her meticulous attire hadn’t disturbed her.

But she wasn’t surprised.

A powerful cultivator like Lu Qing, whose cultivation had reached an unfathomable realm, held a steadfast Daoist heart.

How could he be swayed by a mere appearance?

She smiled broadly, “If Elder Shi knew of such praise from the Supreme Lord, he would surely be overjoyed.”

“Is Elder Shi the master of these carvings? Truly remarkable,” Lu Qing said sincerely.

He still held such capable individuals in high esteem.

“I will convey the Supreme Lord’s words in full to Elder Shi. Unfortunately, Elder Shi went into seclusion not long ago and hasn’t emerged yet, so he won’t be able to hear the Supreme Lord’s words of praise.”

“Sister, you are so beautiful!”

Xiaoyan’s voice rang out. The

Hanshui Palace Master paused. She lowered her head, only to see the little girl looking up at her, her eyes sparkling.

She smiled, “Little sister, you are also very beautiful.”

“Sister, my name is Xiaoyan. What’s your name?” Xiaoyan asked.

The Hanshui Palace Master knew Xiaoyan was Lu Qing’s biological sister, so she naturally didn’t dare neglect him.

She said gently, “My surname is Han, and my name is Lingshuang. You can call me Sister Lingshuang.”

“Sister Lingshuang!” the little girl exclaimed.

Lu Qing watched the two chatting, and soon they began to address each other as sister, without interrupting.

He could see that, perhaps because of her natural gift of icy skin and jade bones, Xiaoyan felt quite close to the Hanshui Palace Master.

After a brief chat, a maid entered from outside the palace.

“Palace Master, the banquet is ready.”

“Your Excellency, Sister Xiaoyan, please follow me.”

Lu Qing, Xiaoyan, and the Palace Master of Hanshui Palace arrived at the adjacent side hall.

They saw a vast jade table covered with a multitude of exquisite dishes.

The dazzling array of offerings revealed at least dozens, if not hundreds, of dishes.

“Your Excellency, Sister Xiaoyan, please.”

Lu Qing didn’t refuse, leading Xiaoyan to a seat in front of the banquet table.

“Your Excellency, the palace has limited ingredients, and we were in such a hurry that we could only prepare these dishes. Please forgive me,” Han Lingshuang said.

Lu Qing: “…Palace Master, you’re too polite. This amount of food is already far too extravagant for just the two of us, brother and sister.”

“Yes, Sister Lingshuang, we can’t finish all this.”

Xiaoyan, looking at the overflowing table, was also a little amazed.

Just then, a small head popped out from Lu Qing’s chest, staring intently at a dish on the table.

“This is…” Han Lingshuang was slightly startled.

“Palace Master, don’t be surprised. This is our companion. Its name is Xiao Li.”

Lu Qing looked at the dish Xiao Li was staring at and immediately understood why the little creature had woken.

He pulled Xiao Li from his arms and placed him on his shoulder.

“Companion…”

Han Lingshuang’s heart stirred slightly, noticing Lu Qing’s address.

Calling it a companion rather than a spiritual pet clearly indicated the special place this small black beast held in Lu Qing’s heart.

More importantly, she sensed a faint, terrifying aura emanating from Xiao Li.

She instantly understood that this was no ordinary little beast, but an extremely powerful spiritual beast.

She immediately called to the maidservant, who stood waiting with her hands down, “Come, prepare another place for the High Lord.”

“Prepare two,” Lu Qing suddenly said.

Then, reluctantly, he pulled the Five Elements from Xiao Yan’s hood.

Ever since a while ago, this creature had been peeking around, sensing the delicious aroma.

If he only prepared a place for Xiao Li and not for it, it would likely stare at him with resentment for an indefinite amount of time.

Another powerful spirit beast!

Han Lingshuang was struck by the sight of the Five Elements.

She also sensed a strong threat from this monstrous, multicolored snake with wings.

This indicated it was also a powerful spirit beast.

Crucially, before the two spirit beasts appeared, she hadn’t sensed any other life force in Lu Qing and Xiaoyan. Suddenly

, Lu Qing became even more unfathomable in Han Lingshuang’s mind. He

was worthy of being able to single-handedly slay a Jindan True Immortal and destroy the existence of Hanging Mountain.

Even his own spirit beasts were so powerful.

Even she, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with numerous magical artifacts, could sense a powerful threat.

Not wanting to delay, she immediately ordered, “Prepare two seats.”

Soon, two new seats were ready,

and they were even thoughtfully arranged in front of them for Xiao Li and the others to dine.

After the seats were arranged, Wu Xing climbed up immediately, and at the same time, his body became a little bigger, just high enough to reach the dishes on the table.

However, Xiao Li did not sit in his own seat.

He stood on Lu Qing’s shoulder, pulled his hair, and then looked eagerly at the dish he had set his eyes on before.

Han Lingshuang’s eyes moved slightly when he saw this.

The maid beside him immediately brought the dish to Lu Qing with great tact.

Xiao Li was not polite and immediately jumped onto the table and began to eat slowly and methodically.

Lu Qing had no choice but to say to Han Lingshuang with an apologetic look: “Please forgive me, Palace Master. Xiao Li has always been naughty.”

“It’s okay. It’s our honor that Xiao Li likes the dishes in our palace.” Han Lingshuang said with a smile.

“Palace Master, what is this dish?”

“This is snow dragon fish, a spiritual fish that is a specialty of our Northern Province.

This fish lives deep beneath the ice and is quite difficult to catch.

But it tastes very good, especially when sliced thinly and eaten raw. It is particularly delicious,”

Han Lingshuang explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing immediately understood why Xiao Li was so obsessed with this dish.

It turned out to be raw fish slices from a spiritual fish he had never heard of.

Starting with Xiao Li, Lu Qing stopped being polite and began to taste the delicious food on the table.

After Xiao Li finished the snow dragon fish, he lost interest in the other dishes

and snuggled back into Lu Qing’s arms to sleep.

On the other hand, Wu Xing, who was not picky about food and could eat anything raw or cold, enjoyed the meal with great pleasure.

Han Lingshuang even assigned a maid to serve him, and whenever he liked a dish, she would serve it.

The banquet was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests.
