"Lu Qing, brother, you're back?"
When Lu Qing returned to the market, Ma Gu greeted him with a face full of surprise.
At the sa ti, the heart he had been holding was finally set at ease.
Lu Qing had been gone for over an hour, and to say Ma Gu wasn't worried would be a lie.
Now, he had finally returned safely.
"Mm." Lu Qing nodded. "Mrs. Wei and the others are all right?"
"They're fine, just a bit shaken," Ma Gu replied. "Lu Qing, brother, that man in white..."
"He's been dealt with," Lu Qing said coolly.
But Ma Gu was shocked.
Although he had anticipated it, the confirmation from Lu Qing still astonished him.
After all, that man had been at the level of the Internal Organ Realm and including him, two experts of the Internal Organ Realm had now died at Lu Qing's hands.
They must credit the mysterious creature for so of it, but clearly, the creature was also under Lu Qing's command. To say that it was his own strength was not an exaggeration.
"By the way, Master Ma, this place is no longer safe. We probably need to relocate Mrs. Wei," Lu Qing said.
The Black Wolf Gang had co this ti without hiding their tracks.
Once the county found their disappearance, they would definitely send people to investigate.
Soon, they would track it to the market.
"But where can we relocate them to?" Ma Gu wondered, distressed.
He knew too well that keeping Mrs. Wei and her son in the house was no longer safe.
But for the mont, he could think of no other place to shelter them.
Lu Qing also felt troubled.
Mrs. Wei and her son were like hot potatoes now.
No matter where they hid, they might bring death upon the people there.
Unless those who would harbor them were not afraid of an Innate Realm Expert like Wang Cangyi.
After thinking it over, Lu Qing said, "It seems the only plan for now is to hide them in the mountains."
The mountains were vast and hiding soone there would be easy.
Now that Mrs. Wei's injuries had healed, as long as they were well-prepared, staying hidden in the mountains should be no problem.
"We have no other choice," Ma Gu nodded. "Let's go in and ask for the lady's opinion."
The two entered a dark chamber.
"Young Master Lu!"
Mrs. Wei and her son were overjoyed to see Lu Qing.
They had been shocked and very worried when Ma Gu told them Lu Qing had gone to chase the enemy.
Now seeing him return safe, they were relieved.
"Madam, Young Master." Lu Qing nodded in response. "The evil ones outside have been temporarily dealt with, but it's already clearly unsafe for you and the young master to stay here..."
Lu Qing shared his idea of relocating them.
Mrs. Wei pondered for a while and did not object.
Since their whereabouts were likely compromised, staying here was not only unsafe but also posed a risk to nearby people.
So, moving was the best solution.
Seeing Mrs. Wei agree, the rest was easier to handle.
They imdiately packed their belongings and essential daily supplies. Lu Qing and Ma Gu carried the packs, and along with Mrs. Wei and Young Master Wei, they left through the tunnel in the dark chamber.
However, before leaving, Ma Gu had also ordered Xiao Tian and the others to temporarily close the market and scatter to find places to avoid detection.
Coming out of the tunnel, Lu Qing and his group had reached the mountain behind the market.
Lu Qing carried the bags for Young Master Wei while he carried Mrs. Wei, and the four of them headed deeper into the mountains.
In the deep mountains, after so searching, Lu Qing finally found a hidden cave on a cliff more than ten ters high in a valley.
After cleaning, it beca a temporary shelter for Mrs. Wei and her companions.
After that, Lu Qing also scattered a bag of dicinal powder around the cave entrance.
"Madam, I apologize for the inconvenience of staying here. This dicinal powder can repel insects and animals. With it, ordinary wild beasts and poisonous creatures wouldn't dare co near," Lu Qing explained after settling everything.
"I wouldn't dare call it inconvenient," Mrs. Wei quickly replied. "Given the current circumstances, my son and I are very grateful even just to have a place to stay."
"I will deliver so living supplies every few days. Just let know if you need anything."
After settling Mrs. Wei and her son, Lu Qing prepared to leave.
He would not stay in the valley, but Ma Gu would stay with Mrs. Wei and her son.
Otherwise, with their lack of experience surviving in the wilderness, it wouldn't take long for trouble to arise.
"Brother Lu Qing, let walk you out."

At this mont, Ma Gu suddenly spoke.
"Alright," Lu Qing didn't refuse.
The two reached the cave entrance and jumped down to the valley floor.
At the entrance, there was actually a vine ladder, but clearly, for the likes of Lu Qing, such aids were unnecessary.
"Master Ma, seeing how you move, your muscles and bones are powerful; you must be close to achieving Small Success in the Muscle Bone Realm, right?"
Upon reaching the valley floor, Lu Qing observed Ma Gu and remarked.
"You really can't hide anything from Brother Lu Qing. Indeed, after my encounter with that leather armor youth, I gained so insight and touched upon the principle of Bone Marrow Small Success," Ma Gu laughed.
He felt sowhat fortunate.
Previously, he was being relentlessly pursued by that leather armor youth, and in his bid to escape, he had pushed his abilities to the limit.
Unexpectedly, after surviving that ordeal, his potential was unlocked, and he touched the threshold of Bone Marrow Small Success.
Just because of his injured shoulder, he had not been able to focus on his cultivation, thus he had not fully entered that realm.
