I Can See Through Everything - Chapter 782

Chapter 781 Enemies of the World?

“Master, please stop drinking. Your injuries haven’t fully healed; drinking too much will harm your health.”

In a tavern, an old servant was advising Nangong Yuanwu, who was holding a wine jar.

“It’s alright. My injuries have been there for decades. A little wine won’t make it any worse,”

Nangong Yuanwu waved his hand, his body reeking of alcohol, his eyes glazed with drunkenness.

The former Nascent Soul Realm expert was now filled with dejection.

“But Miss said you’re not allowed to drink until she returns,” the old servant continued earnestly.

Hearing the old servant mention Mo Hongyun, Nangong Yuanwu paused, the wine jar in his hand drooping involuntarily.

Seeing that it was working, the old servant was overjoyed. He knew that only by mentioning Miss Hongyun would his master listen.

“Master, Miss said that once she emerges from seclusion next time, she will have someone refine a batch of Transformation Pills. Then your injuries will have a chance to heal.”

“Heal my injuries?” Nangong Yuanwu’s face showed a hint of bitterness. “Transformation Pills are incredibly precious. Only a Grandmaster of Alchemy can refine such pills. Even though Hongyun has a distinguished status now, her cultivation is still shallow, and her seniority in the Netherworld Palace is low. It’s not so easy to ask someone for help.”

“That’s still hope. Miss instructed you before she left to rest and recuperate. If she knew you were still drinking every day, she would definitely be angry,” the old servant earnestly advised. “

Alright, alright, then I won’t drink anymore. Let’s go back.”

Nangong Yuanwu threw the wine jar on the table and was about to pay the bill and leave.

But the next moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

“Senior, you have such refined tastes, coming out for drinks so early. It seems I’ve arrived at just the right time.”

As these words fell, two figures slowly walked up from downstairs.

Nangong Yuanwu stared blankly at Lu Qing, who had brought Xiao Yan up. He never expected to see him here.

“Senior Nangong, long time no see.”

Lu Qing smiled slightly at the dazed Nangong Yuanwu.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, what are you doing here?” Nangong

Yuanwu snapped out of his daze, a look of anxiety appearing on his face.

As for the old servant beside him, he had been on guard, but seeing his master’s expression, it seemed he knew the young man before him, so he suppressed the fluctuations of his magical power.

However, he still dared not let his guard down.

For some reason, he felt an immense terror emanating from the young man before him.

Even the girl beside him was like a sword with its edge concealed, giving him an extremely dangerous feeling.

More importantly, he couldn’t discern the cultivation levels of the two people before him at all!

There are usually only two reasons for this situation.

One, the two people before him possess extraordinary treasures that can conceal their cultivation aura.

Two, the cultivation levels of the two people before him are far above his.

Regardless of the reason, the old servant dared not be careless.

“Naturally, I walked in,” Lu Qing said with a smile. “What, senior, don’t you welcome this junior?”

“Of course not,” Nangong Yuanwu quickly replied. “Fellow Daoist Lu, do you know that the Holy Alliance…”

He stopped abruptly.

Although this was within the Nangong family’s sphere of influence, as the saying goes, too many people can hear too many ears. If someone overheard Lu Qing’s identity, it would likely cause a huge uproar.

“Senior, don’t worry. No one else will hear us talking here,” Lu Qing said calmly.

Hearing this, Nangong Yuanwu was first taken aback, then realized that the noisy voices outside had disappeared, and the entire restaurant was now silent.

He immediately understood that this was Lu Qing’s doing.

His heart relaxed.

This mysterious young man, who had stirred up such a huge storm in the Tianyuan Great World over the years, possessed supernatural abilities far beyond his imagination.

Since Lu Qing said no one could hear their conversation, it must be true.

“Fellow Daoist Lu, I didn’t expect to see you here. And who is this gentleman?”

Nangong Yuanwu looked at Xiaoyan.

He secretly admired her; even in his many years of life, he had rarely seen such a beautiful woman.

“This is my younger sister, Xiaoyan. Come and pay your respects to Senior,” Lu Qing gestured.

“Greetings, Senior,” Xiaoyan obediently bowed. “

So this is your younger sister. Indeed, she is refined and elegant, with a fairy-like beauty,”

Nangong Yuanwu couldn’t help but praise, his heart stirring.

Lu Qing had always been extremely mysterious; no one knew his true identity or origin.

The sudden appearance of a younger sister was truly strange.

However, Nangong Yuanwu could see that Xiaoyan and Lu Qing’s faces were indeed quite similar, suggesting that the sibling relationship was not false.

It was only because he had brought Lu Qing into the Tianyuan Great World that Lu Qing had gained strength.

He wondered how his sister had managed to enter. He

mentally probed his storage magic treasure, intending to retrieve a small gift.

However, the emptiness of his storage magic treasure caused Nangong Yuanwu to suddenly freeze.

He then realized that his predicament over the years had left him unable to even afford a gift he wanted.

“Senior is too kind,” Lu Qing said. “However, judging from your aura, you seem to be still recovering from your injuries. What could be the reason?”

Lu Qing also felt something was amiss.

He knew that Nangong Yuanwu had been assassinated by assassins from the Netherworld Palace and had nearly died.

He just hadn’t expected that after so many years, his injuries would still be in remission.

Judging from his current aura, he had even fallen to the Nascent Soul realm, and was even weaker than an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

“This is a long story, so let’s not dwell on it. But you, Fellow Daoist Lu, have made quite a name for yourself over the years. It’s truly astonishing.”

However, Nangong Yuanwu seemed unwilling to elaborate on the matter and instead changed the subject.

“Oh, so my affairs have reached you, Senior?” Lu Qing asked calmly.

“The things you’ve done, Fellow Daoist Lu, are renowned throughout the world. I’m not in some remote, impoverished place; how could I not know?” Nangong Yuanwu sighed.

“That’s perfect. I’ve been in seclusion for many years and only recently emerged. I’m still unfamiliar with the current situation in the world. Would you be so kind as to explain it to me, senior?” Lu Qing humbly inquired.

He wasn’t surprised that Nangong Yuanwu had guessed he was behind those events.

After all, even the Five Treasures Daoist had been captured, so the Holy Alliance must have thoroughly investigated his whereabouts after entering the Tianyuan Great World.

It wasn’t surprising that all the identities he used had been exposed.

“Fellow Daoist Lu has been in seclusion all these years?”

Nangong Yuanwu exclaimed in surprise.

Over the years, the Holy Alliance and many sects and families had spared no effort in searching for Lu Qing’s whereabouts.

But they had found nothing; Lu Qing seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Therefore, many people speculated that he had already left the Tianyuan Great World and fled far away.

Now it seemed that he might have been hiding somewhere in secret seclusion all along?

“More or less,” Lu Qing said. “That’s why I wanted to ask you for your advice, senior. Is my current situation rather precarious?”

“I see. No wonder you came to see me

, Fellow Daoist Lu.” Nangong Yuanwu finally understood why Lu Qing had been so bold as to appear openly in their Nangong family’s territory.

It turned out he had only recently emerged from seclusion and was unaware of many things.

He sighed and said, “Fellow Daoist Lu, your current situation is more than just precarious; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say you’re surrounded by enemies.”
