I Can See Through All Things' Information

"Old Doctor Chen and Young Master Lu, both these master and disciple, are truly exceptional individuals!"

Wei Xinghe sighed and then fell silent.

Master and servant just sat there, quietly savoring the shock in their hearts.

"Dad, you're awake!"

Just then, a cheerful voice broke the silence.

Wei Xinghe turned around, somewhat surprised, "Zi'an, it's rare to see you up so early."

"I've been getting up early to practice recently, Dad, didn't Mom tell you?"

Zi'an, dressed nimbly, had a rosy complexion and a hint of sweat on his forehead, clearly having just exercised.

Wei Xinghe's mind stirred, and he smiled, "Your mother did mention some fun stories from the mountains last night. She said you've been very diligent in your training recently, following Master Ma's instructions to practice early every day, is that right?"

"Yes!" Zi'an nodded vigorously, seemingly eager to try, "Also, I've learned a stick technique from Dr. Lu recently. How about I demonstrate it now for you to give some pointers?"

"Oh, is it the stick technique taught by Young Master Lu?" Wei Xinghe recalled what his wife mentioned the night before and his interest was piqued, "Then let's see it."

"Master, do you mind if this old servant watches too?"

Grand Steward Wei was equally interested.

"Not at all, not at all, Uncle Hai is so skilled, it's perfect for you to check if I'm doing anything wrong." Zi'an said excitedly.

Wei Xinghe and the Grand Steward exchanged glances.

They both noticed that Zi'an's personality seemed to have changed quite a bit.

In the past, he wasn't this bright and his manner of speaking wasn't as courteous as now.

"Dad, I'm starting now."

Zi'an, dressed agilely, held a long stick behind his back and stood in the center of the courtyard.

The long stick was a weapon stored in the residence, and the one he brought back from the mountains had been carefully preserved by him.

Although that wooden stick was rough, it held an extraordinary significance for him, and was not to be discarded carelessly.

"Okay."

Wei Xinghe watched his spirited young son, a trace of satisfaction in his eyes.

Zi'an took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing, and suddenly, his long stick turned into a flurry of shadows, as the stick technique flowed smoothly from his hands.

Wei Xinghe initially watched with a smile.

But as he watched, he couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

The Grand Steward at his side felt the same.

Soon, Zi'an completed the demonstration of the stick technique, the stick held steadily aloft, unmoving, breathing steady as he slowly ended the routine.

That earnest and solemn demeanor made Wei Xinghe feel somewhat dazed.

It was the first time he had seen his younger son practice martial arts with such earnestness.

"Dad, Uncle Hai, how did I do? How is my stick technique?"

After regaining his breath, Zi'an asked eagerly.

"Not bad, very good indeed, An Er, you've really surprised Dad this time."

Wei Xinghe's words were not just to make his son happy.

Indeed, the stick technique Zi'an had just executed was very methodical, the moves skilled, and the power apt; it was evident he had put in genuine effort.

"The technique is sophisticated, the moves are exquisite; Young Master, your stick technique, even among those in the Qi Blood Realm, is considered exceptionally skilled," Grand Steward Wei praised.

"Thank you, Dad, and thank you, Uncle Hai!" Zi'an was immediately all smiles.

One reason he had been practicing so vigorously was to gain his father's approval.

Now that he had achieved it, his heart was filled with an immense sense of accomplishment.

"An Er, you said this stick technique was taught to you by Young Master Lu, what is its name?" Wei Xinghe asked.

"It's called the 'One Breath Stick Technique,' but Dr. Lu mentioned that this technique has been simplified for me. The true 'One Breath Stick Technique' can only be learned once I reach the Muscle Bone Realm," Zi'an replied.

"Simplified?"

Wei Xinghe and Housekeeper Wei were taken aback.

The stick technique Zi'an had just practiced was a continuous blend of offense and defense, nearly flawless, and could be considered a very complete form of Martial Arts stick technique.

If not mentioned, they would not have been able to tell that it was a simplified form of Martial Arts.

Wei Xinghe and Housekeeper Wei exchanged looks again, their eyes filled with surprise.

The One Breath Stick Technique was only a Qi Blood Realm Martial Arts technique, not considered very mysterious, and naturally didn't catch the attention of these two Inner Organ Realm Martial Artists.

But the level of Martial Arts mastery revealed by Lu Qing's technique left them both unable to guess.

Wei Xinghe suddenly felt what his ancestors had felt.

Both being from the Innate Realm, the ancestor couldn't decipher Elder Chen's Martial Arts Realm and felt utterly defeated.

Now he could also not discern Lu Qing's Martial Arts Realm, who was also from the Inner Organ Realm.

Encountering such a talented devil, it was hard not to feel impacted.

Watching his younger son's happy face, Wei Xinghe's thoughts stirred.

He then smiled and said, "An Er, have you paid your respects to Master Ma today?"

"I did. After paying respects to my master, I came to find you," Zi'an quickly replied.

Wei Xinghe's smile grew even wider, "That's very good. Since you have taken him as your master, and a master is like a father, you should properly honor and respect Master Ma, understand?"

"I understand, Father. Mother taught me all this," Zi'an earnestly nodded.

"It's good that you remember," Wei Xinghe was increasingly satisfied with his son's transformation, "However, now that you have accepted a master, this is no trivial matter for our Wei Family and should not be taken lightly."

"Father, I don't understand what you mean," Zi'an scratched his head.

"What I mean is, the ceremony in the mountains where you paid your respects was too simple. Our Wei Family didn't even offer a proper ritual gift, which was quite unfair to Master Ma," Wei Xinghe explained.

"Master Ma is not only your master but also the savior of you and your mother. We, the Wei Family, cannot afford to neglect someone like him."

"So I've decided to choose a suitable day to host a more grand ceremony for you, to provide all the proper rites. What do you think?"

"Great, great," Zi'an immediately cheered up, "Father, that's a wonderful idea, I'll go tell Master right away!"

Saying this, he hurriedly ran outside.

"My lord, the young master has truly changed."

Watching Zi'an's cheerful figure, Housekeeper Wei remarked.

"Yes, the recent attack by the Heaven Sect was a calamity for our Wei Family, but it has allowed An Er to grow, bringing a blessing in disguise," Wei Xinghe said, his face filled with relief.

"But my lord, should we really let the young master take Ma Gu as his master?" Housekeeper Wei was somewhat conflicted, "His cultivation is ultimately a bit low."

Wei Xinghe nodded, "Indeed, Master Ma's cultivation is low, but An Er willingly follows him. Previously, the scholars I hired had higher cultivation, but An Er didn't want to listen to them, so what use were they?"

"Moreover, Master Ma's character is excellent. Being able to stand up and save the lady and others in such a situation... With such character, he is more than qualified to be An Er's master."

"As for cultivation, our Wei Family has plenty of cultivation techniques and elixirs. As long as An Er is willing to work hard, won't we have enough resources to enhance his cultivation?"

"For An Er, a master who can manage him is more suitable than one who is highly skilled."

Housekeeper Wei thought for a moment and realized the Family Head made a lot of sense.

And he knew there was another point the Family Head hadn't explicitly mentioned.

It was the good relationship between Ma Gu and Lu Qing. Just that point alone was enough for them to pay serious attention.

After all, both were truly enigmatic beings.

Even their Wei Family dared not easily offend such formidable entities.

"It's settled, then. You go prepare for it, and make sure it looks impressive," Wei Xinghe concluded.

"Yes, I understand."

As Housekeeper Wei went to arrange for the ceremony,

elsewhere, Ma Gu was stunned upon hearing Zi'an's words.
