"Magu, what is that? Is such lowly meat something a human should eat?"
The richly dressed young man turned pale, pointed at the meat stall, and shouted in a somewhat shrill voice.
Especially the smell of the pig offal on the stall made him almost want to vomit.
Magu followed his finger and saw that he was pointing to the pork stall, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
At this moment, the entire market was completely silent.
As for the butcher, he was terrified and his strong body was trembling. He almost couldn't resist crawling under the butcher's stall.
That richly dressed young man was clearly a distinguished person who had come from who-knows-where.
Even Master Ma had to humbly accompany him, so how could a country bumpkin selling pork possibly provoke him?
“Young Master Wei, this is the countryside, and these poor people naturally can’t afford anything good to eat,” Ma Gu said with a forced smile.
“You are of noble birth and naturally cannot bear to look at such filthy things. Let’s go over there so as not to have our eyes dirtyed by these things.”
"I have already ordered the house to be cleaned up, and you can move in at any time."
"Let's go quickly, or I'm afraid I'll faint!"
The richly dressed young man covered his mouth and nose, his face full of disgust, and hurriedly walked forward.
Magu quickly followed.
As for the guards of the richly dressed youth, they didn't say a word from beginning to end, and their expressions didn't even change much.
After the group of young men in fine clothes left, it took quite a while before the people in the market dared to slowly resume their activity.
Lu Qing also stepped out from the crowd.
He gazed thoughtfully in the direction the elegantly dressed youth and his companions had left.
This richly dressed young man is clearly a nobleman from the city.
This was the first time he had met a prominent figure in the city, and he was indeed very imposing.
The guards who accompanied him alone were all formidable.
Although Lu Qing didn't use his special ability to investigate their background, he could still sense that each of those guards was much stronger than him.
It is estimated that none of them are experts below the Bone and Tendon Realm.
I wonder what this young man's background is, that he has so many experts at the Bone and Tendon Realm guarding him when he goes out.
I was hoping to get in touch with Magoo, but it seems I won't have the chance today.
Lu Qing simply carried a bamboo basket on his back and started buying things at the market.
He'd almost run out of rice, flour, and meat at home, so he planned to buy more this time.
As for salt, there's no shortage. When Master went to town last time, he bought him a big bag of salt, enough to last until next year.
Just as Lu Qing was happily making purchases.
On the other side, Magu, who had just arranged for the group of young men in fine clothes to stay, walked out of the house with a bitter look on his face.
He never expected that the young master of the prestigious Wei family would suddenly appear in his small town.
The key point is that he still has to greet them with a smile.
Otherwise, if the clan finds out that he didn't even properly treat the young master of the Wei family, he'll really be in deep trouble.
However, this young master of the Wei family is known in the city for being arrogant and difficult to please.
If he had no other choice, he really wouldn't want to be associated with such a spoiled brat.
Providing good hospitality brings no credit, while poor hospitality brings a lot of trouble.
Most importantly, if anything were to happen to this little ancestor while he was with him, even the entire clan wouldn't be able to protect him.
Although he was unwilling, Magu had no choice but to accept it.
All he can do now is pray that the little devil finds what he wants quickly and leaves soon.
Otherwise, if he stays here for even one more day, he will live in fear for another day.
Filled with gloom, Ma Gu headed towards the market.
He needed to quickly handle some matters at the market, such as those selling chickens, ducks, and pork, who should temporarily stay away from the market.
Otherwise, if we offend that extremely clean little darling again, who knows what might happen.
Upon arriving at the market, Magu immediately headed towards the pork stall.
The fat man at the pork stall is usually very respectful to him, so let him rest for a while.
"Young master, take a look. The fatty and lean meat is especially good today. Which piece would you like to buy? I'll give you a discount."
Before Magu even reached the butcher's stall, he heard this sentence.
He found it strange, as the fat man was usually very stingy when selling meat.
While he wouldn't shortchange someone, he would never cut an extra penny if someone wanted a pound of meat. Why did he change his mind today and even give them a discount?
Then he saw a boy with a bamboo basket on his back standing in front of the pork stall, looking down and picking out meat.
The figure seemed vaguely familiar, but he couldn't quite place who it was.
Just as Magu was still thinking, he saw the boy carrying a bamboo basket stand up straight and point to the meat on the meat stall.
"Boss, I want this piece, the biggest one."
Now, Magu finally saw the boy's profile and remembered who he was.
It's that young man from last month who claimed to be a disciple of Doctor Chen!
Seeing Lu Qing reminded Ma Gu of some things.
More than half a month ago, Lu Qing came to the market and bought a lot of things, claiming to be the disciple of that old doctor Chen.
Afterwards, Magu sent his men to Jiuli Village to investigate.
It turned out that the boy wasn't lying; he really was learning from that old doctor, Dr. Chen.
This made Ma Gu very interested, and he even thought about how to get closer to Lu Qing.
However, to his surprise, Lu Qing never appeared at the market again after that incident.
This rendered many of his preparations futile.
Given his status, it was impossible for him to go to Jiuli Village to befriend Lu Qing; otherwise, even a fool would know that he had ulterior motives.
I thought I had lost this opportunity, but unexpectedly, Lu Qing has reappeared.
Ma Gu was overjoyed, and for a moment he even forgot about the troubles brought by the young master of the Wei family.
He stepped forward and said, "Young Master Lu, it's been a long time."
Lu Qing had just picked out a large piece of pork belly and was watching the vendor cut the meat for him when he suddenly heard these words. He turned around, saw Ma Gu, and was taken aback.
Wasn't this person accompanying that important person from the city? How come he's here again?
However, Lu Qing quickly realized what was happening and smiled, "It's Master Ma, long time no see."
At this moment, Ma Gu finally saw what Lu Qing looked like.
He was stunned for a moment.
Compared to just over two weeks ago, Lu Qing's current appearance has changed dramatically.
The last time Lu Qing came to the market, he was thin, looked pale, and his clothes were patched.
He looked exactly like an unremarkable, poor country boy.
This is one of the reasons why Magu sent his men to investigate Jiuli Village.
In his view, if Lu Qing were truly the disciple of that old doctor Chen, he shouldn't be living such a shabby life.
Now, although Lu Qing's clothing hasn't changed much, his physical appearance has changed drastically.
His figure is no longer thin, his back is straight, his complexion is healthy, and his eyes are bright.
More importantly, he could also vaguely sense the surging blood and energy within Lu Qing's body.
A martial artist at the Qi and Blood Realm?!
A tremendous storm raged within Magu's heart.
