"Madam speaks wisely," Lu Qing nodded in approval.
Although Mrs. Wei wasn't knowledgeable in martial arts, to remain so clear-headed upon hearing such great news was truly worthy of the Wei Family's matriarch.
"That mysterious group, having made such a big move, will definitely not leave so easily," he said. "They are keeping the entire county under surveillance. If you return now-, you will probably be walking right into the mouth of a tiger before even nearing the county, and this would only cause trouble for the family head and the others."
"Mother, what should we do then?"
Wei Zian had matured a lot recently and knew that his mother and the others had a clearer understanding of the situation, so he didn't stubbornly insist on returning.
"Wait!" Mrs. Wei said firmly. "Since nothing is amiss at the manor, that's already excellent news. We should, even more so, not cause any trouble for your father and ensure our own safety by staying peacefully in this forest."
"I refuse to believe that those people will stay in Cang County forever. When they leave, that will be our ti to return ho."
"Perfectly, aren't you also cultivating the stick technique taught to you by the Young Master? Use this ti to diligently practice, and once you master it completely, you'll give your father a huge surprise when we get back, and he'll see you in a new light!"
Hearing his mother's words, Wei Zian imdiately felt a surge of blood boil within him.
He really wanted his father's approval!
Without delay, he loudly declared, "Don't worry, Mother, I will train seriously. No, I will start cultivating right now!"
Watching Wei Zian, fired up by his mother's words with a newfound zeal for cultivation, Lu Qing and Ma Gu couldn't help but smile.
The hearts of the youth are indeed easily swayed.
Lu Qing had originally planned to escort Mrs. Wei and the others back to the manor after so ti.
However, the next day, the arrival of an unexpected visitor completely disrupted his plans.
Returning from the mountains, Lu Qing went to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard early the next morning, as usual, with Little Yan and Little Li.
Little Yan went to learn her morning lessons from her master, while Lu Qing helped dry herbs in the courtyard.
Suddenly, a gentle voice ca from outside the courtyard.
"Excuse , is anyone ho?"
"Soone is here. Are you looking for a doctor? Co in, please."
Lu Qing, busy with the herbs, didn't look up and casually replied.
Assuming it was just another villager seeking dical help early in the morning—an often occurrence—He thought nothing of it.
However, he quickly sensed sothing was amiss.
For the person's first words upon entering were full of praise.
"The plum blossoms nourished by the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi must make exceptional tea. May I ask for a cup to taste?"
Lu Qing's body jolted, and he abruptly looked up at the visitor.
He saw a plainly dressed, ordinary-looking, cloth-clothed youth standing at the courtyard entrance, smiling at him.
Seeing Lu Qing look over, the youth praised again, "At such a young age, to have achieved Perfect Bones and Muscles, truly worthy of being a disciple of an Innate Grandmaster."

"Who are you?" Lu Qing asked. His heart was secretly shaking; even without using his superpower, he couldn't see through the visitor's martial arts realm.
There seed to be a layer of fog around him, completely concealing his aura. At a glance, he seed like just any ordinary young person.
But Lu Qing knew this was definitely no ordinary person.
Soone who could so easily expose the reason behind the blooming of the plum tree in the courtyard, and see through his martial arts realm, couldn't possibly be an ordinary person.
More importantly, even Little Li hadn't noticed the visitor's approach in advance, which was extrely unusual.
Lu Qing imdiately activated his superpower and looked at the newcor.
Very soon, a rich red light mixed with a glimr of golden light erged from the youth.
[Lin Zhirui: True Disciple of Central State Tianji Tower, gentle and calm nature, wise, and strategic.]
[Cultivation: Completed the Postnatal Internal Realm.]
[Carries an Exotic Treasure that can conceal his own aura and fate, making him undetectable.]
[Possesses various secret techniques, and with the help of the Exotic Treasure, can protect himself even against martial artists of the Initial Innate Realm.]
It was him!
Seeing the string of information appear in his vision, Lu Qing imdiately knew who the visitor was.
The sa cloth-clothed youth who had appeared in the county and stopped the fight between Wang Cangyi and an ancestor of the Wei Family, both of whom were in the Innate Realm!
However, he hadn't expected the youth to be so formidable. Not being in the Innate Realm, yet possessing the strength not to fear those of the ordinary Innate Realm, was indeed incredible.
No wonder Little Li hadn't detected the person in advance—it turned out he had an Exotic Treasure aiding him in concealing his aura.
"I am Zhirui from Tianji Building, a disciple who has co specially to pay respects to the newly advanced Innate Realm elder, Chen Songqing," he declared.
While Lu Qing was rapidly turning thoughts over in his mind, the cloth-clothed youth perford a respectful gesture.
Even the na of his master was known.
Lu Qing's heart was again greatly shocked; besides himself and Little Yan, almost no one else knew his master's full na.
Even the villagers only referred to him as Old Doctor Chen and were unaware of his full na.
Unexpectedly, this cloth-clothed youth, whom he had never t before, was unmistakably clear about it.
And furthermore, he knew that master had been promoted to Innate!
Tianji Building, indeed formidable.
Lu Qing felt a tremor within, sensing the terror of these mysterious forces.
He took a deep look at the cloth-clothed youth and then said, "Please wait a mont, I will go inform my master."
Old Doctor Chen had already heard the noise outside; seeing Lu Qing co in, he frowned and asked,
"Ah Qing, is the visitor the youth you ntioned yesterday?"
"Yes, master. It's the sa Mr. Zhirui who claid to be a disciple of Tianji Building, and moreover, he seems to know you've ascended to the Innate Realm."
Lu Qing was quite puzzled about this.
According to Xiao Tian, this Lin Zhirui should have been in the county these days.
The county was not near their location, a distance of more than a hundred miles.
Given such a remote distance and the subtle nature of master's breakthrough event, how had he co to know of my master's achievent of the Innate Realm?
Old Doctor Chen was also unclear about the reason but was not panicked.
Having spent his life in healing and aiding people, the elder doctor had never done anything remorseful; upright and forthright, he feared no one.
"From what you said yesterday, this person must be from the righteous path; I will go out and et him."
He told Little Yan to stay in the room and continue her studies while Old Doctor Chen walked out with Lu Qing.
The cloth-clothed youth, who had been waiting in the courtyard, was now under the plum tree, looking up to admire the full bloom.
Hearing the sound, he turned his head and on seeing Lu Qing and the others co out, his gaze imdiately fell on Old Doctor Chen.
At the sa ti, a strange energy emanated from his eyes.
Then, rapidly, he bodily trembled, a respectful look appearing in his eyes, and he respectfully bowed to Old Doctor Chen.
"Junior from Tianji Building, Zhirui, pays respects to Mr. Chen."
"You need not be overly courteous, young man, please take a seat," Old Doctor Chen smiled.
"I dare not, Mr. Chen, you sit first," the cloth-clothed youth hurriedly said.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, with the cloth-clothed youth insisting on letting Old Doctor Chen sit first, Old Doctor Chen eventually reluctantly acquiesced.
As for Lu Qing, being a disciple, he stood by waiting for orders.
"May I know why Mr. Zhirui has co to visit us?"
After sitting down, Old Doctor Chen directly asked.
"Mr. Chen, I have co here wishing to ask for a cup of plum tea from you."
The cloth-clothed youth did not imdiately reveal his purpose but took a roundabout way of speaking.
"That's simple, Ah Qing, go bring my tea equipnt and also so of the plum tea we dried a few days ago," Old Doctor Chen ordered.
"Yes, master."
Lu Qing went inside and soon brought out the tea equipnt and flower tea, then got the fire burning vigorously.
When the spring water boiled, Old Doctor Chen placed so plum blossoms into the cup to brew, and a peculiar aroma imdiately rose.
It was also miraculous; the plum tree had blood on the day Old Doctor Chen had stepped into the Innate Realm.
After so much ti, the plum blossoms had still not fallen completely, continuing to bloom.
It amazed every visitor who ca for treatnt.
Old Doctor Chen discovered that, nourished by the Primordial Qi during his breakthrough, the plum blossoms on this tree had also beco very special.
Not only were they incredibly fragrant, they also had effects of nourishing the yin and yang, promoting salivation, and quenching thirst.
So, he had collected the fallen blossoms and dried them to make flower tea.
