Chapter 168 of "I Can See Through Everything" begins with: Seeing that Lu Qing showed no fear of the possible assassination attempts from the Seven... See the full story!

Seeing that Lu Qing showed no fear of the possible assassination attempts from the Seven Kill Tower, even the young man in plain clothes felt a sense of admiration. At this moment, even he had to admit that what "Heavenly Solitude" said before his death did hold some truth. Lu Qing might indeed be the unparalleled genius born with great fortune in anticipation of the coming era of Great Strife. "Young Master Lu, perhaps this might be an opportunity for you," the young man in plain clothes said with a hint of jest, noticing Lu Qing's calm demeanor. "Oh? How so?" Lu Qing asked, slightly puzzled. "The Seven Kill Tower is an ancient sect with mysterious traditions, and it also follows some ancient rules. The assassination order issued by the Seven Kill Tower is called the Seven Kill Command. Once the Seven Kill Command is activated, you will face the assassination attempts from the entire Seven Kill Tower. However, these attempts are not limitless. According to the rules of the Seven Kill Command, it will only conduct up to seven assassination attempts on you. After seven attempts, if you are still alive, the Seven Kill Tower will cease their attempts on your life and will honor you with the highest respect. Not only will they treat you as an esteemed guest, but they will also promise never to accept any assassination missions related to you again. They will also announce to the entire assassin world that you have become an esteemed guest of the Seven Kill Tower, and any other assassin organization that targets you will be seen as provoking the Seven Kill Tower and will face their retaliation. Furthermore, it is rumored that besides these honors, the Seven Kill Tower will offer you an opportunity, though what exactly this opportunity is, remains unknown." The young man's explanation left everyone stunned. No one expected that the assassinations from the Seven Kill Tower had so many intricacies. "Lord Zhi Yue, according to you, does this mean that anyone who survives the Seven Kill Command will be protected by the Seven Kill Tower?" Wei Xinghe asked. "Correct." The young man in plain clothes nodded. Lu Qing then asked, "Dare I ask, Lord Zhi Yue, has anyone ever survived the Seven Kill Command?" "Yes!" The young man in plain clothes affirmed. "The Seven Kill Command of the Seven Kill Tower is not issued lightly. However, according to the records of our Tianji Tower, in the past ten thousand years, the Seven Kill Tower has issued hundreds of Seven Kill Commands. Due to the long passage of time, it is difficult to verify most of the cases, but in the past thousand years, three people have survived the Seven Kill Command. The most recent one was a figure from three hundred years ago. And those three people did indeed receive the protection of the Seven Kill Tower and never faced any assassination attempts for the rest of their lives. It is said that one of them was targeted by a new assassin organization. However, before anyone could take the mission, that organization was eradicated overnight, completely wiped out. It is because of these incidents that people believe that the Seven Kill Tower sincerely follows the rules of the Seven Kill Command." Only three people have survived the Seven Kill Command in a thousand years! Upon hearing this, everyone finally understood how difficult it was. No wonder the Seven Kill Tower would make such a promise. For them, encountering someone who can survive the Seven Kill Command is a rare occurrence even in centuries. Anyone who can escape the seven assassination attempts of the Seven Kill Tower is undoubtedly a peerless genius with great fortune. For such individuals, it is wise to temporarily retreat. Some perceptive guests, upon further reflection, immediately understood the intricacies. The rule of the Seven Kill Tower, which seemed restrictive, was actually a way to leave a path for themselves. "So, Young Master Lu, you don't need to worry about the Seven Kill Tower not keeping their promise if you survive the Seven Kill Command. This is an ancient rule they have followed for thousands of years, and they won't break it." The young man in plain clothes concluded. "I never place my life in the hands of others' promises," Lu Qing responded indifferently. "Whether the rules of the Seven Kill Command are true or false, it doesn't matter to me. If the Seven Kill Tower really wants to assassinate me, they should be prepared to become my enemy. By then, it might not be up to them to decide when to stop." Lu Qing was not someone who would passively take hits. If the Seven Kill Tower really tried to assassinate him, it was uncertain who would end up hunting whom. Sensing the coldness in Lu Qing's words, the young man in plain clothes couldn't help but shiver. He suddenly remembered that the person before him was not as amiable as he appeared. The other guests felt a sudden chill as well. Especially Mago, who couldn't help but recall the scene in Happy Fort where Lu Qing stood with a long knife amidst the firelight, heads rolling, corpses everywhere, and blood flowing like a river. Because of "Heavenly Solitude's" assassination, the Wei family's apprenticeship ceremony had to end hastily. However, apart from the Qian family, the other guests were not disappointed at all. This time, attending the Wei family's apprenticeship ceremony brought them immense gains. Not only did they witness a battle between martial experts, but they also learned many hidden secrets they would never have known otherwise. Some particularly sharp-minded individuals even picked up extremely important information from the conversation between the young man in plain clothes and the assassin. For instance, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect. "What is this 'unprecedented change in ten thousand years'?" In a small courtyard, several disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were whispering. "I don't know, but Tianji Tower has always been mysterious, knowing countless secrets. The Seven Kill Tower is also an ancient sect with a long history. For them to take it so seriously, it must be incredibly important." "We must report this to the sect. If what those two said is true, and the world is about to undergo great changes, our Qingyun Sword Sect must prepare in advance!" "Seventh Junior Brother, I will write a letter, and you will set off immediately to report today's events to the sect." "Yes!" After a brief discussion, they made a decision and then talked about other matters. "Speaking of which, that Young Master Lu is truly terrifying. Even the top assassin of the Seven Kill Tower couldn't withstand a single move from him and couldn't even escape." One disciple of the Qingyun Sword Sect was still in awe when he recalled the events of the morning. The top assassins of the Seven Kill Tower were recorded as extremely terrifying beings in the sect's annals. It was said that they had the capability to assassinate martial grandmasters. And reality proved that the rumors were true. The aura that "Heavenly Solitude" exuded was not only terrifying but also had a strange effect that shook the mind and hindered thoughts. Even the head of the Wei family, a martial grandmaster, seemed affected, moving sluggishly. But such a terrifying assassin was utterly defeated in front of Young Master Lu, unable to escape, which was simply unbelievable! "Indeed, it's hard to imagine that in such a small place like Cang County, there is such an unparalleled genius. I fear that even the top disciples of our sect might not match Young Master Lu in talent. The elders were right. There are always people more talented than us. This world is full of geniuses beyond our imagination. We thought that the people of Cang County were just ignorant and had never seen real martial experts, hence the excessive admiration for Young Master Lu. But it turns out, the real frogs in the well are us." Another disciple sighed. The remaining disciples were silent. They couldn't help it; the shock from Lu Qing was too great. It was unimaginable that a teenager could achieve such martial prowess. Defeating the top assassins of the Seven Kill Tower with ease, his strength was beyond belief. What's more, despite his formidable martial skills, he was also proficient in medicine, easily neutralizing the deadly poison feared by the Seven Kill Tower. His medical skills were no less impressive than his martial prowess. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. A teenager, excelling in both martial arts and medicine. This left the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect in awe and bewilderment. In fact, they all felt a bit fortunate. Fortunately, during the banquet, despite their initial disbelief upon hearing the local nobles praise Young Master Lu, they didn't mock him openly. Otherwise, they would have made complete fools of themselves. It seemed following the elders' teachings was indeed wise. No matter where they went, they should always remain humble and never let pride get the better of them. Now, the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect deeply understood the wisdom of their elders' teachings. Perhaps this was the true purpose of the sect sending them out for training. While the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect were pondering the meaning of their training. In a small building in the county magistrate's mansion. The young man in plain clothes sat at a desk, holding a jade pen, writing on a jade scroll called the Dan Shu Jade Scroll. As he wrote, the tip of the jade pen emitted a glow, forming characters that disappeared into the scroll. After writing for half an hour, recording all the recent events in the Dan Shu Jade Scroll and transmitting them to the sect, the young man in plain clothes put down his pen and stood up, looking at the distant sky with a worried expression. "The unprecedented change in ten thousand years is approaching, the world's situation is about to undergo a great transformation, and the demonic and evil forces are stirring. Where will the fortune of the human race lead?" The conversation with "Heavenly Solitude" had made the young man realize that the impending change was no longer a secret among many top forces. Thinking of the things Tianji Tower had discovered in recent years, he felt even more anxious. He sensed that great changes were imminent, and the world's situation would soon be in turmoil, leading to countless deaths and suffering. He wondered if Tianji Tower could adapt and survive in such a massive change. He thought of Lu Qing. He still couldn't fully understand this mysterious young man. Even using the sect's precious treasures, he couldn't see through Lu Qing's true nature. It was as if Lu Qing was always shrouded in a layer of mist, hiding his true self from any investigation or calculation. Although he couldn't see through Lu Qing, he had a sense of warning in his heart, feeling that Lu Qing's strength was incredibly formidable, and he might not even be his match. Recalling Lu Qing's age and "Heavenly Solitude's" last words, the young man in plain clothes couldn't help but agree with "Heavenly Solitude." Perhaps Lu Qing was indeed the unparalleled genius born in response to the impending great changes. Only such a heaven-blessed genius could evade the calculations of Tianji Tower and hide his destiny. But was an unparalleled genius really that terrifying? The young man in plain clothes thought of some ancient records in the sect. According to those records, when great changes approached, many heroes would rise, and countless geniuses would be born, competing for fortune. If all these geniuses were as terrifying as Lu Qing, he couldn't imagine how dazzling their competition would be. How could Tianji Tower guide the great trend of the world in the face of such unparalleled geniuses? Thinking of the ancestral teachings of the sect, the young man in plain clothes felt a shiver down his spine. He couldn't help but wonder if the founding ancestor of the sect was a bit too ambitious. "Zhi Yue, are you there?" While the young man in plain clothes was lost in thought, he suddenly heard his friend's voice outside. "I'm here, come in." The young man in plain clothes casually put away the jade pen and Dan Shu Jade Scroll and replied. The door opened, and the county magistrate Yan Canghai walked in, carrying some wine and a chess set. "What is it?" the young man in plain clothes asked. "To drink and play chess with you." Yan Canghai lifted the items in his hands. "Didn't you drink a lot at the Wei family this morning? More drinking?" The young man in plain clothes was speechless, noticing that his friend seemed increasingly fond of drinking. "That bit of wine was nothing. It was scared away by the Seven Kill Tower assassin." Yan Canghai set the wine and chessboard on the table. "Come, I see you have many worries, why not have a few drinks with me?" The young man in plain clothes thought for a moment, then joined him at the table. His friend poured him a drink. After a few sips and a few moves in their game, Yan Canghai finally asked, "Are you worried about what the Seven Kill Tower assassin said today, about the unprecedented change in ten thousand years?" The young man in plain clothes paused, then replied expressionlessly, "It's not something you should know. Don't ask. Have you forgotten the previous lesson?" This time, Yan Canghai didn't back down but smiled, "It seems what 'Heavenly Solitude' said is true, the world is really about to change." The young man in plain clothes was silent. After a while, he said, "Indeed, the world is about to change, but not in the way you think. Yan Canghai, put away your little thoughts. This is not something you can touch. If you interfere recklessly, it won't just be you; even my Tianji Tower and the Sacred Mountain could be destroyed, never to recover. Do you want to drag your Yan family to ruin?" Hearing this, Yan Canghai's face finally changed drastically. Table of content
