I Can See Through All Things' Information

"Young Master Lu, what exactly has happened? Can you tell us now?"

In the forest, Lu Qing, who was carrying Mrs. Wei, asked.

A look of nervousness was evident on his face.

Just moments ago, Lu Qing had suddenly arrived, instructing everyone to pack their belongings and saying they needed to leave the mountain immediately.

Although everyone was unclear about the reason, they trusted Lu Qing and, despite their anxiety, did as they were told.

Now, walking through the forest, Mrs. Wei could no longer contain her curiosity.

"This morning, a cloth-clothed youth, the same one I mentioned to you yesterday, who stopped the battle between your ancestral master and that mysterious disciple of Tianji Building from the Innate Realm, came to visit my master and brought some rather distressing news."

"Your Wei Family's ancestral master from the Innate Realm was ambushed by that mysterious figure from the Innate Realm and injured in the heart meridian by Innate Sword Energy, a severe injury that's hard to heal. If the sword wound isn't treated soon, he'll have at most one more year to live."

Lu Qing explained slowly.

"How could this be?"

Mrs. Wei and the others were shocked to hear this.

"This was told by the disciple from Tianji Building named Zhi Rui. Given his actions in the county recently, there's no need for him to deceive us about this matter, so it must be true."

Mrs. Wei and the others' spirits were immediately thrown into disarray.

They had thought that after the return of their ancestral master, everything at home would stabilize, and they could peacefully await the day they returned home.

They had not expected such a serious hidden danger in their ancestral master's injury.

After a while, Mrs. Wei calmed her spirit and continued, "Then, the reason Young Master Lu has us leaving the mountain is..."

Even if their ancestral master was gravely injured, with their limited abilities, they couldn't be of much help—it seemed there was no reason for them to leave the mountain.

"My master, upon hearing of your ancestral master's condition, intends to try to go to the county to see if he can resolve his injuries.

However, as you know, the situation in the county is complicated right now, and your mansion is likely very cautious about outsiders.

If just my master and I were to visit, it might be difficult not only to gain your family's trust but might also lead to misunderstandings.

That's why we thought to ask you and the young master to come down from the mountain with us and return to the county together."

"Does your master feel confident in treating our ancestral master's injuries?" Mrs. Wei asked, visibly relieved.

"There's no absolute certainty, as he hasn't yet examined your ancestral master personally, everything is difficult to predict, but we must try, mustn't we?" Lu Qing did not oversell the assurance.

But Mrs. Wei discerned a deeper meaning in Lu Qing's words.

If the elder doctor had no confidence at all, why would he risk coming to the county?

A spark of hope ignited in her heart: "Then let me, on behalf of our Wei Family, first thank Young Master Lu and your master for their righteous assistance."

Mrs. Wei was incredibly grateful.

Given the Wei Family's current situation, most people would avoid them at all costs; no one would dare to involve themselves with them.

It was fortunate enough that someone was not kicking them while they were down.

For Lu Qing and the others to repeatedly offer help and attempt to save her and her son, and even the entire Wei Family, she was truly at a loss for how to express her gratitude.

As they walked through the forest, when they finally emerged, they went straight to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

The elder doctor was already waiting in the courtyard.

Seeing everyone had returned, he smiled, "Everyone is back?"

Mrs. Wei, who had already dismounted from Lu Qing's back, performed a courteous bow.

"Ning Yan has seen the elder doctor. In the past, you saved my son from the brink of death, and Ning Yan has not been able to visit to express thanks personally, which is truly embarrassing."

"Hehe, it's all trivial matters, no need to worry about it."

The elder doctor stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Greetings to the elder doctor."

At this time, Wei Zian also came forward to bow.

The elder doctor examined his complexion and nodded, "You've recovered well, and have grown much stronger."

"Yes, I have been training in martial arts recently with my master and Doctor Lu Xiao; I feel much better than before!"

Wei Zian gripped the wooden staff in his hands and spoke cheerfully.

"Good, very good."

The elder doctor also noticed that Wei Zian's temperament seemed to have changed significantly and was very pleased.

As for Ma Gu, since he used to come here often, he was already considered an acquaintance, therefore not much cordial exchange was needed; he simply performed a bow to the elder doctor.

"Elder doctor, when do we depart?"

After some pleasantries, Mrs. Wei inquired.

Ever since she learned of her ancestral master's condition, her heart had been somewhat uneasy.

"There's no rush at this very moment. You've just come out from the mountains, go freshen up and have some lunch, and after you've restored your spirits, then we'll set off," the elder doctor said.

Ma Gu and the others had been living in a cave, and although they weren't lacking food and drink, other aspects were certainly inconvenient.

Now they all looked somewhat disheveled and weary.

Mrs. Wei also knew that their current state was somewhat improper and understood that haste wouldn't help in saving the Wei Family.

Thus, she didn't oppose the elder doctor's arrangement and went to freshen up.

The elder doctor had already prepared hot water for them, and once Mrs. Wei and the others returned clean, they saw Lu Qing was already busy in the kitchen, with bursts of food fragrance drifting from inside.

"Sister, you should take a good look!"

Just then, Mrs. Wei heard a sweet voice.

She looked down and saw a little girl standing in front of her, tilting her head curiously at her.

Seeing the angelic, elfin little girl before her, Mrs. Wei felt a surge of affection.

She bent down to lift Little Yan and asked, "Little one, what's your name?"

"I'm Lu Xiaoyan. Sister, who are you?" Little Yan asked cheerily.
