At this moment, information about the newcomer appeared in Lu Qing\'s vision.

In the rich red glow, several notes emerged.

[Yan Canghai: County Magistrate of Cang County, royal bloodline, easygoing and carefree, indifferent to small matters, extremely curious.]

[Cultivation: Postnatal Internal Organs Realm, proficient in various secret techniques, especially skilled in swordsmanship.]

[Originally a royal descendant, he was exiled from the capital due to his excessive curiosity about forbidden events.]

So, he was the nominal ruler of the county.

After reading the information, Lu Qing understood.

He hadn\'t expected that the person\'s background was quite complex, being a royal descendant.

"Is the County Magistrate here because of the troublemaker in the market?"

Lu Qing wasn\'t surprised that this person knew his whereabouts.

As a county magistrate, lacking even this level of intelligence would be quite pathetic.

"No, Chen Songqing\'s rampage in the market, extorting the people, has already been investigated. Lu Xiaolangjun need not worry," Yan Canghai replied.

"Oh, then how did the County Magistrate handle him?" Lu Qing asked curiously.

"Naturally, he was imprisoned for a year, his property confiscated, and after his sentence, he will be expelled from the city."

Lu Qing nodded. He wasn\'t familiar with the laws of this world, so he couldn\'t judge if the punishment was severe or not.

"I\'ve heard that the reason Chen Songqing could act so recklessly in the market was due to his brother-in-law\'s protection, who works in the County Magistrate\'s office. How did the County Magistrate handle that?" Lu Qing continued to ask.

Yan Canghai hesitated before replying, "Chen Songqing\'s brother-in-law, Wang Yi, has been a diligent officer for years. He claimed to be unaware of Chen Songqing\'s fraudulent actions, so considering his hard work and ignorance, he was fined three months\' salary as a warning."

Lu Qing smiled faintly, not commenting on the handling.

"Since the County Magistrate has uncovered the truth, it seems there\'s nothing more involving me. I\'ll take my leave."

Lu Qing bowed slightly, ready to leave with Xiao Yan.

Yan Canghai quickly called out, "Lu Xiaolangjun, I have prepared some food and wine at Yan Feng Tower. Would you honor me with your presence?"

Yan Feng Tower was the best and most expensive restaurant in the county.

"I appreciate the County Magistrate\'s kindness, but I\'ve already eaten, and I must return soon to avoid worrying my master. I must decline your kind invitation."

With that, Lu Qing left with Xiao Yan, heading towards the Wei residence, leaving Yan Canghai looking regretful.

"Zhiyue, why do you think he refused my invitation?"

After Lu Qing disappeared, Yan Canghai asked suddenly.

"He doesn\'t like you."

A figure appeared beside Yan Canghai, his expression calm. It was the commoner youth.

"Why is that? I haven\'t offended him," Yan Canghai was puzzled.

"He disliked you the moment he heard how you dealt with Wang Yi," the commoner youth replied flatly.

"What was wrong with my punishment?"

"Yan Canghai, ask yourself, do you truly believe Wang Yi was unaware of Chen Songqing\'s fraudulent actions?"

The commoner youth looked at his friend mockingly, "If you truly think so, then you\'ve been getting more foolish over the years."

Yan Canghai fell silent.

After a while, he said, "Wang Yi is talented. With only the basic techniques issued by the County Magistrate\'s office, he has reached the peak of the Qi and Blood Realm in just a few years. Given more resources, he might achieve the Tendons and Bones Realm, or even the Internal Organs Realm."

"You know, I have no one useful at the moment."

"So you played dumb, giving him a chance?" The commoner youth shook his head, "Yan Canghai, you really disappoint me."

"I thought being exiled to this remote county would clear your mind, but you’ve only become more confused."

"A mere peak Qi and Blood Realm can make you abandon your principles. With such small-mindedness, you dream of returning to the capital and reclaiming what was originally yours?"

"Yan Canghai, when did your ambition become so petty?"

Yan Canghai trembled all over, his face turning pale.

The commoner youth shook his head, even more disappointed.

He turned to leave, "Since Lu Xiaolangjun dislikes you, I advise you not to provoke him. He may appear gentle, but he has a strong murderous intent. If you anger him, he might kill you."

Lu Qing did not know about this conversation after he left.

He returned to the Wei residence with Xiao Yan and Xiao Li, just as Wei Xinghe and Mrs. Wei emerged from the backyard.

"Lu Xiaolangjun, Xiao Yan, you’re back! Did you have fun?"

Mrs. Wei greeted them warmly.

"It was alright," Lu Qing smiled, "The city is quite different from the countryside, very bustling."

"Auntie, we went to many places, ate a lot, and bought books!" Xiao Yan said excitedly.

Since Lu Qing had warned her on the way back, Xiao Yan didn\'t mention the incident at the market.

"Did Lu Xiaolangjun buy books?"

Wei Xinghe noticed the books in Lu Qing\'s hand.

"Yes, books are rare in the countryside. Usually, I teach Xiao Yan and the others to read using my master\'s medical books. Since we\'re in the city, I bought some books to broaden our horizons."

"Xiao Yan, you’re learning to read?" Mrs. Wei was surprised.

"Yes, Xiao Yan knows many characters!" The little one said proudly, "Not only me, but Xiao Li also knows characters!"

This really shocked Wei Xinghe and Mrs. Wei.

They looked at Xiao Li differently now.

This little black beast could recognize characters?

Unfortunately, Xiao Li was always aloof to strangers.

Under their gaze, it didn\'t even open its eyes, just lay on Lu Qing\'s shoulder pretending to sleep.

Wei Xinghe, hiding his surprise, said to Lu Qing, "Since you love books, our Wei residence has a small library. If you’re interested, feel free to visit and see if there’s anything you like."

Lu Qing\'s heart moved. Books kept by the Wei family must be extraordinary, perhaps containing the information he needed.

He gladly nodded, "I thank the Wei family head in advance."

After chatting a bit more, Lu Qing learned that the chief steward of the Wei family was still at the Ma residence and his master was discussing Precelestial martial arts insights with Wei Shanhai.

Mrs. Wei also invited Xiao Yan and Xiao Li to play in the backyard.

Having nothing else to do, Lu Qing found an excuse to return to his room to rest.

Back in his room, with the door closed, Lu Qing finally took out his gains from today.
