I Can See Through Ev Chapter 57

“Master Ma, what kind of war blade does Young Master Lu want?”

Lu Qing pondered for a mont before asking, “Master Ma, how much does it cost to buy a war blade?”

“That’s hard to say,” Mago replied with so difficulty.

“A regular war blade might cost just a few taels of silver. A better refined blade could start from dozens of taels.”

“If there are special requirents, such as mixing in special tals, the price could be upwards of a hundred taels.”

“And those who like luxury, embedding jewels and jade into the hilt and scabbard, the price is even more unpredictable. It could reach thousands of taels.”

Lu Qing imdiately responded, “I don’t need any luxurious decorations. Please, Master Ma, just help

get a simple yet sturdy and sharp refined war blade. It doesn’t need to be too fancy.”

“As for the price, as long as it’s within fifty taels of silver, I can accept it.”

Saying that, Lu Qing took out a silver ingot from his bosom, “Here’s ten taels of silver as a deposit.”

Master Ma looked at the shiny silver ingot and thought to himself that the old doctor indeed doted on Lu Qing, casually giving him so much silver.

Even when he was young, living off the family’s support, it was rare to have ten taels of silver on him.

But then he thought it was only natural.

With Lu Qing’s martial aptitude, any prestigious family would certainly cultivate him with all their might.

Such an outstanding disciple, the old doctor not paying attention would be abnormal.

“Fifty taels of silver is enough to buy a very good refined war blade. Don’t worry, I’ll select it carefully for you. Co and pick it up on the next Grand Bazaar day.”

Mago accepted the silver without hesitation.

“Thank you, Master Ma,” Lu Qing said solemnly.

He knew that Mago had other intentions in helping him.

But wasn’t he also using Mago?

In these tis, who would help others without reason?

In contrast, people like his master, who were truly kind, were rare and hard to co by.

“Young Master Lu, since you’re here at the Grand Bazaar, why not co to my place for a small gathering? Let

play host properly.”

Having received the silver and seeing their conversation go well, Mago took the opportunity to invite him.

“Well…” Lu Qing hesitated, “I’d love to, but Master Ma, don’t you need to attend to that noble young master? He seed very distinguished.”

Damn!

Reminded by Lu Qing, Mago rembered the young master in his mansion.

He had been out for a while and didn’t know what the young master might need.

If he couldn’t find him and got angry, it would be trouble.

Thinking of this, Mago hurriedly said, “Maybe next ti. When you co to pick up the blade, we’ll have a drink together.”

“As long as you don’t mind, I’d be honored.”

“Then it’s settled!”

Seeing Lu Qing agree, Mago was pleased. He called a subordinate, gave a few instructions, and rushed back to his mansion.

Lu Qing watched Mago, a Tendons and Bones Realm master, fear the young noble so much, and couldn’t help but shake his head.

It seed the noble’s background was indeed formidable.

After Mago left, with the war blade settled, Lu Qing was in a good mood and continued browsing the Grand Bazaar.

It wasn’t long before he bought everything he needed.

Not only was his bamboo basket full, but both his hands were also carrying a lot.

After finishing his shopping, he decided not to linger and prepared to leave the Grand Bazaar.

Before leaving, he noticed Mago’s n helping villagers pack up their stalls selling chickens, ducks, and pork.

It was evident that Mago feared the villagers might offend the noble young master.

Shaking his head, Lu Qing once again realized the stark difference between the city nobles and the rural villagers. He slowly walked out.

After Lu Qing left, two n erged from the bazaar.

Watching Lu Qing’s departing figure, they looked puzzled.

“Old Seven, doesn’t that kid look familiar?” said a man with a somber expression.

“I think so. Feels like I’ve seen him sowhere before.”

The other man, with a large black mole on his face, was also puzzled.

“Doesn’t he look like Lu Ming’s son?”

The somber man reminded.

“Lu Ming?” The man with the mole was first startled, then suddenly realized, “Yes, he does! But wasn’t that brat scrawny before? He looks stronger now.”

“Must be eating well,” the somber man sneered. “Those old folks in Jiuli Village said the Lu family sold their land and had no money to pay us. Now it seems we’ve been fooled.”

“They must have kept a lot of money and intentionally not paid off Lu Ming’s debt.”

“Fifth Brother, you an the villagers in Jiuli Village cheated us?” the man with the mole’s eyes widened.

“Of course, how else do you think that brat got money to buy so many things here?”

“Those old folks are tired of living, daring to cheat us?” The man with the mole was furious. “I’ll go catch that brat now!”

He started towards the direction Lu Qing had gone.

“Don’t rush.” The somber man stopped him. “Catching that brat alone won’t do. We need to make a big deal out of it. Otherwise, others will think there are no consequences for deceiving us. How will we keep our reputation?”

“Fifth Brother, you an?” The man with the mole’s eyes lit up.

“Let’s go back first. It’s not suitable to talk here, especially on Mago’s turf.”

They glanced around the bazaar with a trace of fear.

Mago was no ordinary person. Even their boss said to avoid provoking him if possible.

If he got angry, even their boss might not be able to stop him.

Their boss was a high-ranking martial artist, after all.

If even he was wary, Mago was not soone they could offend.

The two hurriedly left the bazaar.

anwhile, Lu Qing was unaware that he was already being targeted.

At that mont, he was being stopped by another group.

“You said you wanted to rob ?”
