I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 153

"That young man, he is actually from the Wei family?"

Watching Lu Qing's departing figure, everyone was astonished.

They hadn't expected his background to be so significant.

After the surprise, they looked at the unconscious man with a mustache with schadenfreude.

This Chen Wolf usually rampaged through the market, deceiving and intimidating others.

What he relied on was his brother-in-law who worked at the County Magistrate's office.

Now that he had provoked someone from the Wei family, let's see if he could still act arrogantly in the future.

It was known that most families and forces in the city had to show some respect to the County Magistrate's office.

But there was one exception—the Wei family.

Not only did the Wei family not fear the County Magistrate's office, but the office had to show deference to the Wei family.

In front of the Wei family, what did his brother-in-law count for? Even the County Magistrate had to be polite.

"What happened? County Magistrate's office at work, move aside!"

Just as everyone was gloating, a loud shout came. A few officers from the County Magistrate's office, led by the two shop assistants from earlier, came running over.

It turned out those two had gone to find reinforcements.

The crowd recognized among the officers the brother-in-law of Chen Wolf, Officer Wang.

Despite showing disdain, they stepped aside.

"Brother-in-law!"

When Officer Wang saw his brother-in-law's miserable state, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Half of his face was swollen like a pig's head, looking shocking.

"Who dared to randomly hurt people in the market, blatantly defying the County Magistrate's law? Step forward immediately!"

In his grief and anger, Officer Wang roared.

The surrounding area fell silent, no one spoke.

"Fine, no one wants to speak? Then take everyone back and interrogate them one by one. I don't believe no one will confess!" Officer Wang shouted.

His companions were startled and quickly stepped forward to quietly persuade him, "Brother Wang, calm down. If we take so many people back and this escalates, neither of us can handle it."

Hearing Officer Wang's madness of wanting to arrest everyone, the crowd felt both fear and indignation.

Someone immediately shouted, "What does this have to do with us? The person who hit your brother-in-law introduced himself as someone from the Wei family, named Lu Qing. If you have the guts, go find him. Bullying us, what kind of skill is that?"

"What? Someone from the Wei family?!"

Officer Wang's heart suddenly felt like it was doused in cold water, his whole body shivering.

His companions were even more frightened and quickly asked, "Are you sure? Did that person really claim to be from the Wei family?"

"Why would I lie to you? That young man was dressed in luxurious clothes, with an extraordinary demeanor, clearly not an ordinary person. Even if he's not from the Wei family, he must come from a distinguished background. Officer Wang, if you don't believe me, go to the Wei family to verify. Don't wrong the innocent here!"

The shopkeeper speaking had also had enough and directly responded sarcastically.

Officer Wang's face turned pale, his fists clenched, speechless.

Seeing the situation was bad, his companion stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang, this involves someone from the Wei family, which we can't handle. The urgent matter now is to take your brother-in-law to the clinic and wake him up to ask what really happened."

Officer Wang took a deep breath, slowly unclenching his fists, and nodded, "Let's do that. Brothers, please help me carry my brother-in-law to the clinic."

"It's no trouble, but since this involves the Wei family, it's beyond our handling. When we return, we'll have to report to our superiors."

The Wei family's status in the city was exceptional, even the County Magistrate had to be cautious, so they had to be careful.

Watching Officer Wang and his group leave in a huff, the market vendors were all clapping and cheering.

These officers usually extorted them a lot, so seeing them deflated was immensely satisfying.

Lu Qing was unaware of what happened after he left.

At this moment, he was in a private room of a restaurant.

"Old man, come, have a drink to calm your nerves."

After ordering a table full of good dishes, Lu Qing poured a cup of wine for the old man and smiled.

"Young master, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Your kindness is too much for me to bear."

The old man looked at the table full of dishes, feeling uneasy.

Coming from a poor background, he had never been to such a high-end restaurant or seen such exquisite dishes.

The dishes on this table might be worth a month's income for his entire family, so how could he dare to touch them?

If Lu Qing hadn't been dressed luxuriously, saved his life earlier, and helped him recover his silver, he wouldn't have dared to enter such an expensive place.

"No need to worry, old man." Lu Qing gave a piece of chicken to Xiao Yan and smiled, "To be honest, I have a favor to ask."

"A favor to ask me?" The old man was astonished, almost thinking he heard wrong, "Young master, you must be joking. What can an old man like me do for someone like you?"

"Old man, could you take out that money bag and let me have a look?"

"Money bag?"

The old man was puzzled, then realized Lu Qing was talking about the small bag he used to hold his silver.

Although he didn't understand why Lu Qing wanted to see the old bag, he still took it out and handed it to him.

He wasn't worried about Lu Qing having any ulterior motives.

The little bit of silver he had wouldn't be worth even a pot of wine here, so how could it catch Lu Qing's eye?

Sure enough, after taking the money bag, Lu Qing poured out the silver pieces and placed them on the table without a second glance. Instead, he closely examined the bag itself.

Looking closely, Lu Qing immediately noticed something unusual.

Although the money bag was old, it was exceptionally tough, without a single tear.

Moreover, its material didn't seem like cloth but more like some kind of animal skin, with natural, subtle, strange patterns that were hard to see without careful observation.

After a closer inspection, Lu Qing activated his ability and looked into the money bag.

Soon, a faint purple light emerged from the bag.

[Spatial Qi Bag: Low-grade spiritual tool, crafted by a powerful being with great supernatural abilities, using the outer skin of a spatial cloud beast as the main material.]

[Contains a vast space inside, capable of storing items, and has the abilities to swallow clouds and mist, exhale air and wind, and refine living beings.]

[The spatial cloud beast naturally possesses spatial abilities, and the natural patterns on its skin contain a hint of spatial laws.]

[Due to the depletion of spiritual energy, its spirituality is greatly reduced, and its power is barely one percent of its peak.]

Seeing the words appear on the bag, Lu Qing was delighted.

Sure enough, it was a spiritual tool, named the Spatial Qi Bag.

Moreover, according to the information, it was a legendary spatial item.

What surprised him was that this bag didn't seem to have any legacy like the Li Huo Cauldron.

But even so, it was enough to make Lu Qing ecstatic.

The old man opposite him, seeing Lu Qing examining the old money bag so intently, was completely puzzled.

He didn't understand; wasn't it just an old bag? What was so special about it?

"Old man, may I ask where you got this money bag?"

Confirming it was indeed a spiritual tool, Lu Qing suppressed his joy and asked the old man.

"This money bag was something I dug up while reclaiming wasteland when I was young. I saw it was a bit old but not damaged, so I took it home, washed it, and used it. It's strange, though; the bag looks old, but after all these years, it hasn't broken and has always been like this."

Speaking of this, the old man seemed to realize something.

Could it be that this money bag was special?

Seeing his expression, Lu Qing knew he had guessed something.

He frankly said, "Old man, to be honest, this money bag is made of special material and is useful to me, so I want to buy it from you. How much would you want for it?"

"Young master, is this bag really a treasure?" The old man widened his eyes.

"To someone like me who practices cultivation, it is. But for an ordinary person like you, it’s just a bag for holding money and has no other use." Lu Qing hinted.

The old man understood. This was something only martial artists could use and had no significance to ordinary people like him.

He directly said, "Since the young master likes it, take it. Anyway, it’s useless to me. Besides, you saved my life just now. Consider this bag my token of gratitude."

The old man wasn't a fool.

Since this was a treasure even martial artists wanted, it wasn’t something an ordinary person like him could keep.

It was only because Lu Qing was kind-hearted that he politely asked for it.

If it were any other martial artist, not directly snatching it would already be good enough, and the more ruthless ones might even take his life.

"Let's keep things fair. This item is useful to me, but I can't take it for nothing. Here, old man, take this gold ingot as payment for the bag."

Lu Qing took out a small gold ingot from his pocket and placed it on the table.

The golden glow immediately mesmerized the old

man.

He had never seen such a large piece of gold in his life.

But he quickly waved his hand, "I can't accept this. Young master, it’s just a bag, and you saved my life. How can I take your money?"

"No need to decline, old man. It's settled. I’ll buy the bag from you."

Without giving him a chance to refuse, Lu Qing pressed the gold ingot into the old man's hand.

The old man wanted to refuse, but once the gold was in his hand, he couldn't let go.

He suddenly thought that with such a large piece of gold, many of his family's problems could be solved.

His granddaughter's dowry, his wife's chronic illness, and even building a couple of rooms so the family wouldn't have to be so crowded could all be taken care of.

Thinking this way, he could no longer refuse.

Lu Qing saw this and knew the old man was tempted.

He smiled slightly, "It's just a small piece of gold to me. Don't worry, old man, just take it."

Seeing Lu Qing being so firm, the old man finally accepted the gold ingot.

"Old man, are you hungry? It would be a waste not to eat this table full of dishes."

With the old man accepting the gold ingot, Lu Qing put away the money bag and smiled.

The old man, having accepted the gold, was no longer as restrained and joined Lu Qing in enjoying the meal.

After eating and drinking, Lu Qing personally accompanied the old man out of the city and even followed him for a while to ensure no one was following before returning to the city.

After all, he didn’t want the old man to be harmed after he had just helped him.

Just as he entered the city, Lu Qing suddenly tensed up and looked ahead.

Not far away, a man with a gentle smile was approaching him. He was a handsome middle-aged man, particularly striking with his phoenix eyes.
