Chapter 531: Chapter 344 Yan Canghai’s Shock, Leaving the City_2
So didn’t understand why their own lord would show such a grand gesture to this young man.
“It turns out to be the City Lord, you must be here because of the aura that erupted from the residence earlier, right?”
Lu Qing nodded to signal an acknowledgnt and then directly got to the point.
“That’s right.” Yan Canghai’s expression was still one of respect, “Previously, I felt that here at the Wei Mansion, there seed to have been an Innate Level battle.”
“So, I ca to see what exactly had happened.”
Lu Qing smiled and said, “It was just a few petty criminals who invaded, and they have already been dealt with by us. The City Lord need not worry, and you can also inform the citizens in the city that the crisis has been resolved, so they do not need to panic.”
Yan Canghai:…
Naturally, he didn’t believe Lu Qing’s words.
What petty criminals could possibly emit the aura of the Innate Realm?
Moreover, several of them ca all at once; such terrifying combat power, let alone the Wei Family, even the State Mansion might not be able to withstand it.
But he also knew that since Lu Qing had said so, he clearly did not wish for him to continue asking.
He could only respectfully say, “I see, it seems that I was being superfluous.”
“It’s not necessarily so; I, Wei Xinghe, thank the City Lord for your concern.” Wei Xinghe said politely.
Knowing that an Innate Level battle had occurred here and still willing to co over to investigate, no matter what Yan Canghai’s intentions were, Wei Xinghe still needed to express his gratitude.
“City Lord, in a mont, I and the Wei Family Head and others, will need to leave the city. May I trouble the City Lord to order the city gates to be opened so that we may conveniently depart?” At this ti, Lu Qing said.
“It is so late, Young Master Lu, you still need to leave the city?”
Yan Canghai’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.
“Indeed, City Lord, you must also have guessed. The assassins just now were targeting the Wei Family.”
“If my wife and I remain in the city, I am afraid there will be more assassins to deal with.”
“Thus, for the sake of the city’s citizens, it would be better for us to temporarily leave for so ti.”
Yan Canghai:…
He really wanted to ask what on earth the Wei Family had done to attract so many Innate Realm Experts to attack them.
And from the sound of it, there might be more powerful figures coming in the future.
Could it be that the Wei Family had provoked so frighteningly formidable power?
In the end, however, Yan Canghai suppressed the urge to ask and did not voice the question.
Because he knew that there were so things, once heard, might lead to trouble that could never be shaken off.
This was a lesson he had learned from his past experiences.
So, he simply nodded and said, “This is simple, I will personally escort you out of the city.”
“Then we will have to trouble the City Lord.”
The servants of the Wei Mansion were very efficient, and it wasn’t long before they had prepared two carriages.
Lu Qing and the others rode in one, and the other was loaded with supplies, escorted by a small team of Silver Moon Guards.
As for the elder doctor, he had yet to show his face.
He still needed to attend to a few more villagers with his free clinic tomorrow and would not return to Jiuli Village with Lu Qing and the others.
Yan Canghai, accompanied by a few personal guards, went to the city gate.
With the City Lord himself present, the City Guards responsible for guarding the gate naturally did not dare not to open it.
Thus, Lu Qing and the others smoothly left the city and slowly headed in the direction of Jiuli Village.
Standing at the city gate, watching the caravan gradually disappear into the darkness, Yan Canghai’s expression grew solemn.
Tonight’s events had given him a premonition of an imminent storm.
A re Wei Family, how could they have attracted so many Innate Realm experts to assassinate them? What exactly was the reason?
More importantly, those Innate Realm assassins had only erupted for over ten breaths of ti and then were completely neutralized.
Earlier at the Wei Mansion, he had not seen any signs of fierce fighting.
Were those invading Innate Realm assassins killed, or did they flee?
If they were killed, then this Young Master Lu’s strength was perhaps far too frightening.
Perhaps, it was ti for him to make a decision that he had been contemplating for a long ti.
Of Yan Canghai’s thoughts, Lu Qing was unaware.
On the way back, he remained vigilant against the possibility that the escaped assassin from the Wujian Building might suddenly appear, catching them off guard.
Fortunately, it turned out that this was just his overthinking.
Until he returned to Jiuli Village, Lu Qing had not encountered any trace of the last assassin.
“Father, Mother, how co you’re here?”
Upon arriving at the separate courtyard, Wei Zian ran out in surprise upon seeing Mr. and Mrs. Wei.
“I missed you, so I decided to co and see you,” Mrs. Wei made up an excuse so as not to worry her youngest son.
However, Wei Zian was no longer the naive young man he once was.
He grew suspicious upon hearing his mother’s reasoning, “Is that so? But even if you miss , there’s no need to rush over in the middle of the night.
Moreover, didn’t I just leave the house a few days ago?”
Little did he know, his mother had been missing him so much.
And why did Lu Qing, the young doctor, also get down from the carriage?
Wasn’t he always at the Half Mountain Small Courtyard? He had even seen him that morning.
Mrs. Wei was at a loss for words.
Wei Zian grew more suspicious: “Mother, did sothing happen at ho?”
Lu Qing found the situation rather amusing.
“Zian, here’s what happened. Tonight, assassins from Wujian Building ca to your Wei Mansion, attempting to abduct Mrs. Wei and others,” he said directly.
“Wujian Building assassins?!”
Wei Zian was taken aback, recalling the encounter they had in the Holy City.
Assassins from Wujian Building were not ordinary killers; they were all terrifying experts at the Innate Realm Level.
Such formidable people actually wanted to harm his parents?
Ma Gu, who was following behind, also wore a look of shock upon hearing the news.
“Luckily, Master was a guest in your mansion, or who knows what might have happened?”
“Indeed, thanks to Elder Chen’s help, your mother and I were able to escape unscathed,” Wei Shanhai also said. “Young Master Lu was afraid those assassins might co again, so he suggested that your mother and I co here to the separate courtyard to lie low for a while.”
“Young Doctor Lu Qing, do the assassins from Wujian Building want to capture my parents because of what happened in the Holy City?” Wei Zian asked.
“I’m afraid so,” Lu Qing did not deny it. “I’ve already interrogated them; those assassins were sent from Suspended Mountain.”
“It’s those Old Monks indeed!” Wei Zian spoke through clenched teeth. “Those Old Monks are truly despicable and shaless, resorting to such lowly tactics!
Mother, rest assured, it’s very safe here in the separate courtyard.
As long as Young Doctor Lu Qing is here, those villains won’t dare to co over.
And I will protect you too, not letting those evil doers touch a single hair on your head!”
“Alright, then I will count on you, An Er, to protect ,” Mrs. Wei said, her face showing a relieved smile as she saw her son’s resoluteness.
Having ensured everyone’s safe escort, Lu Qing naturally did not need to linger any longer.
After all, the separate courtyard was within the protective range of the array he had set up.
The safety of Wei Shanhai and the others here was well guaranteed.
So, after giving so instructions, advising Mrs. Wei to try not to leave the village area, and inquiring whether Hu Lao San and Hu Zezhi father and daughter were adapting well to their new ho, he returned to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.
Just as he returned to the mountain, he saw the figure of Wei Shanhai sitting in the courtyard.
“Young Master Lu, how did it go? Are Xinghe and the others injured?” Wei Shanhai eagerly asked upon seeing Lu Qing’s return.
“Family Master Wei and the others are unhard and have not been injured, and I have already brought them back to the village.
You can go back to the separate courtyard and ask them for the details,” Lu Qing said.
“You have brought them back; that’s very good,” Wei Shanhai expressed, relieved.
In his heart, Jiuli Village was now much safer than inside the county.
Especially after witnessing Lu Qing set up the array and feeling the increasingly dense spiritual energy of nature in the village,
he realized that, in this manner, the place would surely evolve into an unimaginable land of fortune and spirit.
It was good for Wei Xinghe and the others to co here, not only was their safety assured,
but their future cultivation path would also be smoother.
