"Brother Lu Qing, how co you're here?"
"I ca to gather dicinal herbs in the mountains, and it just so happened that I ran into you all," Lu Qing replied.
Since stepping into the Muscle Bone Realm, Lu Qing had received another dicinal bath recipe for training muscles and bones from his master, to aid in his cultivation.
Because of this, his consumption of dicinal herbs these past few days had been sowhat high, using up all the herbs his master had stored away.
To replenish the herbs, he took Little Li with him to gather more in the mountains.
Unexpectedly, he ran into Ma Gu being pursued and almost killed.
"So it seems my luck is really not bad," Ma Gu sighed.
Had Lu Qing not been gathering herbs in the mountains today, he would have had no chance to escape from the pursuit of the leather armor youth.
"Then Ma Gu, why were you being pursued by that person, and who are all these people?" Lu Qing asked.
From the information Lu Qing detected with his Superpower, he only knew that the two people they had encountered were from a Sect nad Sky Cang Sect.
However, he was still unclear why Ma Gu had beco entangled with them.
"I'm not sure who they are, as for why I'm being pursued, that's a long story."
Ma Gu revealed an expression that was hard to articulate and began to recount the events of the past few days.
"Just like that, I went out to find dicine for Mrs. Wei and was discovered by that leather armor youth. I was chased all the way to the valley, and then I ran into you."
"I didn't expect that you'd have such an exciting couple of days, Ma Gu."
After listening to Ma Gu's story, Lu Qing looked at him with a sowhat strange expression.
He realized that this man's luck was truly poor, and it also seed as if he had so trouble with Young Master Wei.
Both tis he had t him, misfortune was sure to follow, and this ti he had almost been killed in the pursuit.
"Brother Lu Qing, stop teasing ," Ma Gu said sheepishly, "I regret even going near that forest now."
Lu Qing just smiled, not teasing further.
Instead, he began to feel a bit of admiration in his heart.
Ma Gu could have chosen to abandon Mrs. Wei and her child or hand them over to save his own life.
But he did neither, even when cornered and nearly killed, he kept his lips sealed.
Such steadfastness in keeping his promise was truly the mark of a real man.
"By the way, Brother Lu Qing, there's a favor I must ask of you. Mrs. Wei is in a coma due to an infection in her wound, in critical condition. Could I trouble you to save her?"
The lives of Mrs. Wei and her child had been protected by a small squad of Silver Moon Guards who had escorted them at the risk of their own lives.
Ma Gu had almost lost his life for it too.
He really hoped she wouldn't die from her injuries.
Otherwise, it would make the deaths of many people seem aningless.
Lu Qing fell into deep thought.
Seeing that he was silent, Ma Gu didn't dare to rush him.
With Lu Qing's formidable strength and dical skill, and the fact that he seed to command a terrifying, mysterious creature, if he were to help, their chances of saving Mrs. Wei and her child would be much greater.
Thinking of the mysterious creature, Ma Gu couldn't help but covertly glance around.
When he and Lu Qing had moved to this area, they hadn't seen the creature at all.
He wasn't sure whether it was hiding nearby or had already left.
Lu Qing didn't notice Ma Gu's subtle movents, as he was considering whether to involve himself in this ssy situation.
The situation was now clear.
That so-called Sky Cang Sect was most likely the force targeting the Wei Family in the turmoil of the County.
Although Lu Qing didn't know the strength of the Sky Cang Sect, it was evident that as a force with an Innate Realm Expert, its foundation must not be small.
Going against such a power could have unimaginable consequences if they were exposed.
With Little Li, Lu Qing didn't fear Postnatal Realm Martial Artists too much.
But as for the Innate Realm, that was a different story.
Even Little Li might find it difficult to threaten such existences.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qing finally decided to go with Ma Gu.
Previously, the Wei Family had helped him fend off the Black Wolf Gang during the incident at Happy Village.
In a way, Lu Qing owed them a favor.
By saving Mrs. Wei and her child this ti, he could consider the favor repaid.
As for the Innate Realm Expert, such a person should not appear in these mountains.
That Innate Realm Wang Cangyi, who coveted the treasure of the Wei Family, should stay in the County, watching it closely.
Otherwise, if he left and the Wei Family moved the treasure right after, all his efforts would be in vain.
Of course, that's under the assumption that the deaths of Tong Canglang and Wang Qingshan hadn't yet reached the County.
Otherwise, with the death of two disciples, one an adopted son, one couldn't be sure that Wang Cangyi wouldn't go mad.
So, if they were to save these people, they would need to act quickly.
They had to move Mrs. Wei and her child before the news of Tong Canglang and Wang Qingshan's deaths got back to the County.
"Alright, I'll go with you," Lu Qing finally nodded.
Your journey continues on empire
"Thank you, Brother Lu Qing!"
Ma Gu was overjoyed upon Lu Qing's agreent, thanking him profusely.
Having made the decision, the two no longer delayed in the cave.
With the strong recovery abilities of the Muscle Bone Realm and Lu Qing's treatnt, along with the application of antiseptic dicine, Ma Gu's shoulder wound was no longer a serious issue.
Aside from his injured side that prevented him from fighting, normal movent was not a problem.
The two prepared to set off imdiately and head to the cave where Mrs. Wei and her child were hiding.
However, before departing, Lu Qing made a request.
That was for Ma Gu to point out the direction, but the specific route would be decided by him.
