I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 150

"Master Wei, I'll take my leave now."

Mago bowed to Wei Xinghe before heading towards the main gate of the Wei Residence.

Behind him, the head steward of the Wei family led a group of servants, carrying the numerous gifts prepared by the Wei family.

Initially, Mago declined these gifts, but unable to resist the Wei family's insistence, he had no choice but to accept them.

As the gates of the Wei Residence opened, the spies from various factions outside took notice immediately.

"They're coming out, the people from the Wei family are coming out!"

"Who is that? His cultivation level doesn't seem very strong, yet the head steward of the Wei family is accompanying him?"

"That's the man who was beside that mysterious Precelestial realm expert yesterday!"

"I recognize him, it's Mago from the Ma family!"

"Why is Mago coming out of the Wei Residence, and with the head steward personally escorting him?"

"Why is he the only one coming out? What about the Precelestial realm expert and the mysterious youth the family head mentioned?"

"So many things, the head steward is leading so many servants, where are they going?"

"Look, they're heading towards the south of the city, isn't that where the Ma family is located?"

Seeing Mago escorted by the head steward of the Wei family, all the spies were astonished.

Those who recognized Mago were even more surprised.

They had not witnessed yesterday's battle at the city gate, as only the strongest from each faction dared to get close.

Thus, most of the spies didn't know Mago was present during the battle.

Now seeing Mago leave the Wei Residence so openly, accompanied by the head steward and a line of Wei family servants carrying gifts, they were all taken aback.

Seeing Mago heading south, the spies quickly followed.

At the same time, they relayed this scene back to their respective factions.

While the various factions were in turmoil, Lu Qing, Xiao Yan, and Xiao Li had already arrived at the busiest area of the county town.

The street ahead was wide and clean, lined with shops and stalls on both sides.

The streets were bustling with activity, vendors loudly hawking their wares.

The air was filled with the fragrance of food, creating a lively scene.

"Wow!!"

Xiao Yan couldn't help but open her mouth wide at the sight.

This was a scene she had never dreamed of; her little heart was completely overwhelmed.

Perched on Lu Qing's shoulder, Xiao Li's eyes were also wide open.

Having lived in the deep mountains for as long as it could remember, it had never seen such bustling scenes.

Only Lu Qing remained composed, though there was a hint of surprise in his eyes as well.

He hadn't expected the commercial street of just a county town to be so lively.

What grander sights would the larger prefectures or even the capital hold?

"Alright, stop gawking, let's go in."

Seeing Xiao Yan and Xiao Li still wide-eyed, Lu Qing chuckled.

Patting the heads of the two little ones, he led them inside.

Lu Qing did not have Xiao Li enter stealth mode.

At his current strength, aside from the Precelestial realm, he had little to fear.

There was no need to keep Xiao Li in stealth mode all the time as before.

Today, he wanted it and Xiao Yan to experience the bustling human world.

Entering the commercial street, Lu Qing first bought some snacks for the little ones.

Xiao Yan got a string of candied hawthorns, while Xiao Li got a packet of fried small fish.

The two little ones happily ate their treats.

After walking around the street to satisfy their curiosity, Lu Qing finally stopped in front of a bookstore.

This was one of the main reasons he came out today.

His understanding of this world was still too limited.

As his strength continued to grow, he would inevitably interact with more high-level circles.

If he didn't prepare in advance, he might suffer a major loss someday.

And books were one of the best ways to understand a world.

He just didn't know if this bookstore had the information he wanted.

"Brother, are you going to buy books?"

Xiao Yan asked, seeing Lu Qing standing still in front of the bookstore.

"Yes, didn't I tell you before? There are many interesting storybooks in the city, you can choose a few you like."

"Really?" Xiao Yan was instantly excited.

She now recognized many characters and could barely read some simple articles.

Xiao Li's eyes also lit up at this, tugging at Lu Qing's sleeve with its paw.

Turning around, seeing the anticipation in its eyes, Lu Qing said, "Xiao Li can choose too, pick what you like!"

He nearly forgot that Xiao Li's motivation to learn characters back then was to read stories by itself.

Hearing this promise, Xiao Li's eyes squinted in satisfaction.

"Brother, there are so many books here!"

Entering the bookstore, Xiao Yan exclaimed in awe.

"Little Master, Little Lady, are you here to buy books?"

The bookstore owner, who had been watching Lu Qing and Xiao Yan, quickly approached with a nodding and bowing posture.

He couldn't help it; the clothes Lu Qing and Xiao Yan were wearing were specially prepared by Mrs. Wei, made of exquisite materials that only wealthy families could afford.

Moreover, with Lu Qing's extraordinary demeanor and Xiao Yan's adorable charm, along with a strange little beast, the bookstore owner dared not neglect them even without knowing which noble family they belonged to.

"Do you have storybooks?" Lu Qing asked.

"Yes, yes!" The bookstore owner quickly replied, leading Lu Qing to a section, "These are all storybooks, what kind does the Little Master want?"

"Something simple, easy to understand, with straightforward stories that have educational significance. I'm buying them to help my sister learn to read."

Lu Qing stated his requirements.

The bookstore owner scratched his head, evidently a bit stumped by these requirements.

However, being able to run such a large bookstore, he soon came up with a large pile of books.

"These storybooks should meet your requirements, Little Master."

Lu Qing picked up two books and flipped through them. They contained short, simple stories with easy-to-understand sentences, seemingly written by a scholar with time on their hands.

"Not bad." Lu Qing nodded, "Xiao Yan, Xiao Li, you can choose the ones you like."

The two little ones, eager to browse, immediately began carefully looking through the storybooks.

Seeing this, the bookstore owner was a bit dumbfounded.

Xiao Yan, though young, wasn't uncommon in wealthy families where children started learning to read early.

But seeing a small beast seriously flipping through books was something he had never seen or heard of before.

Lu Qing didn't mind the owner's reaction. Seeing the little ones engrossed in choosing storybooks, he moved to another section to find the books he wanted.

This time, he activated his special ability to search the bookshelves.
