I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 176: Chapter 130: The Danqing Jade Scroll, Retreat and Reasons_2

The people of the Wei Family all looked in that direction.

Beneath the scrutiny of many, a figure crawled out from beneath the eaves, dropped to the ground, and stood there with poise.

“I pay my respects to Senior Wei.”

The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes first bowed to Wei Shanhai, then turned to the cloth-clothed youth and said,

“Mr. Zhi Rui, it’s good that you arrived in time, otherwise I might never have seen you again.”

Upon seeing this figure, the people of the Wei Family were all somewhat dumbfounded.

...
No one had expected the County Lord to be hiding in that spot.

The cloth-clothed youth also hadn’t expected his friend to be hiding there.

Even his usually calm demeanor now bore a look of astonishment.

Seeing his friend still acting nonchalant, he couldn’t help but sigh, “You really need to change your love for watching spectacles, because one day, if I hear news of your death, it wouldn’t be a surprise.”

“Mr. Zhi Rui, that’s a bit unfair, why would a friend curse me with death?”

As the two bickered, Wei Shanhai also landed on the ground and bowed to the cloth-clothed youth.

“Thank you, Mr. Zhi Rui, for saving the lives of my entire Wei Family.”

The cloth-clothed youth’s expression returned to its usual calm.

He faintly said, “Senior Wei misunderstands, my presence here was not to relieve the Wei Family from any situation, but because I did not want to see anyone defying the Holy Mountain’s prohibition.”

“No matter the reason, your arrival indeed saved our Wei Family, a favor Wei Shanhai will never forget,” Wei Shanhai declared.

The cloth-clothed youth shook his head and walked away without saying another word.

“Mr. Zhi Rui, why the rush? Wait for me, let’s go for a drink together!”

The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes bowed to Wei Shanhai and chased after him while shouting.

Wei Shanhai watched the two leave the Wei Mansion without calling out to keep them.

“Ancestors!”

Once all the outsiders had departed, Wei Xinghe, clutching his chest, led the family members to approach excitedly.

“Xinghe, the situation was urgent just now, and I couldn’t fully block Wang Cangyi’s sword qi, causing you to be injured; I hope it’s nothing serious?” Wei Shanhai asked.

“It’s nothing; who would have thought that an Innate Realm expert would resort to a sneak attack on a junior like me? Luckily, you arrived in time, ancestor,” Wei Xinghe said, shaking his head.

“Hmph, that Wang Cangyi has always been despicable and shameless; he doesn’t care about reputation,” Wei Shanhai scoffed.

“Ancestor, why didn’t you keep Mr. Zhi Rui here? He saved our Wei Family, and just letting him leave seems somewhat discourteous?” Wei Xinghe inquired.

Wei Shanhai shook his head, “It’s not that I didn’t want to keep him; it’s just that his status is special, and he usually doesn’t get close to other powers. Keeping him would have been making things difficult for him.”

Wei Xinghe still wanted to ask, but Wei Shanhai gestured with his hand, “Let’s go inside and talk; have someone tidy up the courtyard first.”

Wei Xinghe had to hold his questions until they were inside the house with only him, the Grand Steward, and the ancestor present.

Then he continued, “Ancestor, when did you return?”

“I have been back for several days, but I haven’t entered the city because I knew Wang Cangyi would be waiting in the shadows to strike.”

“Ancestor, who are these people exactly, and what is the grudge between you and Wang Cangyi?”

This question had been troubling Wei Xinghe for some time.

Such a treasure had always been hidden and secret, known to only a few in the family.

Why then could this mysterious force know about it?

“The attackers on our Wei Family mostly came from a sect force in the Northern Border called the Heavenly Cang Sect, where Wang Cangyi serves as the Second Elder.”

“As for the grudge between him and me…”

Wei Shanhai sighed before continuing, “He and I were once friends.”

“Friends? How then…”

Wei Xinghe and the Grand Steward were shocked.

“That was a matter of a hundred years ago…”

As Wei Shanhai narrated, Wei Xinghe and the others slowly came to understand what had truly happened.

A hundred years ago, Wei Shanhai was a vigorous and bold young man.

At that time, he had achieved greatness in Martial Arts Cultivation, and though young, he was a Martial Arts Expert with perfect bones and muscles, a rare martial arts genius in the Wei Family in a century.

To find a breakthrough to the Internal Organ Realm and to broaden his horizon,

Wei Shanhai, at the age of twenty, decided to travel and meet the heroes of the world.

During his travels, he met a young man about his age, Wang Cangyi.

Wang Cangyi, from a Major Sect, was exceptionally powerful and well-experienced.

In both strength and experience, he surpassed Wei Shanhai, who originated from a lesser-known family at the time.

The two felt an instant kinship, and Wei Shanhai was particularly impressed by Wang Cangyi’s demeanor.

Eventually, the two swore brotherhood.

After becoming sworn brothers, they ventured through the martial world together, experiencing and witnessing much.

However, it was during these travels that Wei Shanhai slowly realized that Wang Cangyi was not as grand and noble as he seemed.

His heart was not as expansive as it appeared; sometimes, he would pick on the weak over trivial issues.

He was quick to take vengeance, and if anyone offended him, even by accident, he would slay them to vent his anger.

If not for Wei Shanhai often intervening, many times he even wanted to vent his anger on others’ families, obliterating entire clans.

Thus, throughout their travels, their ideologies and discourse on dealing with matters diverged, leading to frequent arguments.
