I Can See Through All Things' Information-Chapter 541 - 349: Banquet, the Whereabouts of Wei Zihao_2

Chapter 541: Chapter 349: Banquet, the Whereabouts of Wei Zihao_2

"Ah Hai, what did you say, you found Zihao?"

Wei Xinghe looked at the Grand Steward with a face full of surprise.

Mrs. Wei was also so startled that she trembled a little.

"Uncle Hai, are you serious, you found my brother?" Wei Zian was equally overjoyed.

Over two months ago, news had come from Jizhou.

It was said that the Qingyun Sword Pavilion had offended some unknown enemies, and in one night, it was uprooted.

Not only were eight or nine out of ten of the Sect disciples killed, but even the Sect’s gates were burned to the ground.

Only a few disciples who were out managed to escape by a fluke.

After receiving this news, the Wei Family was naturally very anxious.

Because their eldest young master, Wei Zihao, was a disciple of the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

Wei Xinghe had immediately ordered to search for Wei Zihao at all costs; if he was alive, they needed to see him, and if dead, they needed to find his body.

However, after more than two months, they had still not found a trace of Wei Zihao.

Just when Wei Shanhai and the others were beginning to think that Wei Zihao might have died during the calamity at the Qingyun Sword Pavilion,

unexpectedly, the Grand Steward brought news that Wei Zihao had been found.

"Yes, my lord, madam, two days ago, our spies found the young master in the State Mansion.

As soon as I received this news, I immediately came to inform you," the Grand Steward said respectfully.

"Hao Er is in the State Mansion, then why hasn’t he come home directly?" Wei Xinghe wondered.

"According to the reports from the spies in the Mansion, the young master seems to be with several of his peers from the Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

Moreover, they looked very panic-stricken, as if hiding from something in fear.

The spies did not know the reasons and did not dare to reveal themselves and disturb the young master.

They merely observed and protected him from the shadows."

"Hao Er is hiding from someone in fear?" Wei Xinghe realized and then it hit him, "That’s it. The Qingyun Sword Pavilion was destroyed overnight.

To this day, no one knows who was behind it.

Hao Er must know something, or he may be afraid of involving the family.

That’s why he hasn’t returned home and isn’t contacting us but hiding in the State Mansion."

To destroy a powerful Major Sect like the Qingyun Sword Pavilion silently in one night,

whoever did it must be an extremely powerful force or Cultivator.

Regardless of which one it was, neither was something the Wei Family could afford to provoke.

Perhaps Wei Zihao considered this and decided to remain hidden abroad instead of fleeing back to the Wei Family.

But how could Wei Xinghe stand by and watch his son in danger without doing anything?

He immediately indicated that he would go to the State Mansion to bring Wei Zihao back.

"Dad, wait!"

However, just then, Wei Zian spoke up to stop his father.

"This matter is of great importance. We should consult with Young Master Lu Qing before making any plans."

Although he was equally concerned about his brother’s safety, after listening to Uncle Hai, Wei Zian had instinctively sensed a hint of danger.

He would not take his own intuition lightly.

In these past few months, the Origin Energy of the world that was within him had fully integrated into his body,

causing him to undergo a rebirth.

Not only had his talent greatly increased, but his intuition had also become very acute.

So upon detecting that vague sense of impending danger, he did not dare to be careless.

"Consult Young Master Lu..." Wei Xinghe hesitated, "But Young Master Lu is hosting a feast for the villagers of Jiuli Village today.

He must be busy at this moment, and wouldn’t it be a bit inappropriate for us to disturb him now?"

Wei Xinghe held Lu Qing in high regard.

He was always quite reserved when he met Lu Qing,

not nearly as close as Wei Zian was to Lu Qing.

"Young Doctor Lu Qing won’t mind," Wei Zian said, "Dad, Qingyun Sword Sect was one of the most powerful Sects in Jizhou, yet it was destroyed overnight.

The culprit must be a terrifying figure, far stronger than we can imagine.

If you rashly go to the State Mansion and accidentally reveal yourself and get discovered by the killer, what then?

Therefore, we should plan this carefully and ask for opinions from Young Doctor Lu and Elder Chen first.

At the very least, we need to ask for guidance from our ancestors."

Wei Zian analyzed the situation to his father bit by bit and then advised him.

In Wei Zian’s heart, both Lu Qing and the elder doctor’s insights and strengths were incomparably formidable.

Hence, it was only proper to seek their advice on the matter.

However, seeing Wei Zian talk so eloquently made not only Wei Xinghe and his wife but also Housekeeper Wei, freeze in astonishment.

They seemed somewhat unable to believe that the delicate and naive young master from before could articulate such thoughts.

"Master, An Er is right; we should discuss the matter with Young Master Lu and the others."

Mrs. Wei chimed in at this moment.

"Good, let’s follow An Er’s advice; I was too impatient just a moment ago."

Wei Xinghe realized that, indeed, he had been too anxious and did not see things as clearly as An Er.

Thinking this, he looked at his younger son with satisfaction: "An Er, you truly have grown up; you’ve become even more stable than your father when facing problems."

Wei Zian blushed slightly: "Thank you for the praise, Father. I understand that you are just concerned about Big Brother’s safety, and that’s why you reacted that way."

Seeing him like this, the look of satisfaction on Wei Xinghe’s face deepened.

At the same time, he felt incredibly fortunate.

He had been right to agree to let his younger son go out and gain experience with Lu Qing and the others—indeed, one of the best decisions of his life.

Seeing Zian return from his experiences in Central State completely transformed,

Not only had his Cultivation significantly increased—now he was in the Initial Realm of Inner Organs, not too far from the Minor Success Realm, ranking him among the top masters of the State Mansion—

But most importantly, he had matured a great deal in his mindset and was fully capable of standing on his own.

The counsel he had given a moment ago to stop him, Zian would have never been able to articulate half a year earlier.

"Zian, you’re right, we should consult Young Master Lu and the others about this.

However, since Young Master Lu is hosting a banquet today, it wouldn’t be right to dampen his spirits.

Let’s seek his advice after the feast," Wei Xinghe said.

"But Father, in that case... about Big Brother..." Wei Zian hesitated.

"The better part of two months has already passed; there is no rush at this exact moment.

Since your brother has chosen to hide in the State Mansion, he obviously has some assessment of his own safety.

You were right before; it could be detrimental if I recklessly went to meet him.

Let’s go, Young Master Lu has invited us to his banquet today; it’s time we headed over."

When Wei Xinghe and the others arrived at the Lu Family residence, Lu Qing had just about finished preparing the dishes.

"Young Master Lu."

"Master Wei, you have arrived. Please have a seat, the feast will start shortly.

Little Yan, take Master Wei and the others to see Master," Lu Qing called out.

Then they saw Little Yan run out of the house: "Auntie, let’s go inside; Grandpa Chen and Grandpa Wei are both in there."

"Grandpa is here too?"

Wei Xinghe was somewhat surprised.

Ever since Wei Shanhai had received the cultivation legacy from Lu Qing, he rarely appeared at home.

Often moving mysteriously and unpredictably, he was either in the Half Mountain Small Courtyard or off to an unknown location cultivating.

Even Wei Xinghe seldom got to see him.

Yet, unexpectedly, he had time to come to the feast today.

Nevertheless, this was a good thing; thinking of Wei Zihao’s situation and with the Grandpa present, Wei Xinghe felt even more at ease.

At least, after the banquet, he would not have to struggle to find the elder’s whereabouts.

When Wei Xinghe and the others entered the house, Lu Qing also began to formally serve the dishes.

He first lifted the lid off the pot that had been stewing meat.

Instantly, a rich aroma of meat wafted from the pot, quickly filling the entire courtyard.

"How delicious!"

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard couldn’t help but sniff the air.

All eyes were focused on Lu Qing.

Then they saw him scoop out bowl after bowl of succulent red meat chunks from the big iron pot, which were then carried by the villagers serving food to each table.

Once the meat was placed on the tables, it quivered slightly, extremely tender and rich in juices.

Even someone like Wei Xinghe, who had seen his share of fine foods and was accustomed to lavish meals, found himself suddenly craving a bite.
