"The Wei Clan is one of the foremost great families in the Prefecture City, but it is not merely a family within the County Prefecture."
"In truth, the Wei Clan's influence not only stretches across the entire prefecture, but rumor has it that it even has connections reaching the heavens within the Royal Capital."
"Young Master Lu, faced with such a great family and powerful clan, how could I not be afraid?"
Only after hearing Ma Gu's account did Lu Qing understand why he held the Wei Clan in such awe.
Yet he still had some doubts. "Since the Wei Clan is so formidable, why would it remain in a tiny County Prefecture?"
"That, Ma does not know." Ma Gu shook his head. "Perhaps it is because Cang County is where the Wei Clan rose to prominence."
"And as far as I know, most of the Wei Clan's businesses and power have already been transferred to the prefecture and the Royal Capital. Only an ancestral residence and a few unimportant businesses remain in the County Prefecture."
"However, the Wei Clan's head has always lived in the ancestral residence. I do not know why."
"Of course, even though most of the Wei Clan's businesses have been moved away, its position in the County Prefecture remains unshakable by any other family."
It seemed the Wei Clan had a secret.
Lu Qing fell into thought.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain such strange behavior.
The head of such a great clan would rather remain in a small County Prefecture than go to the more prosperous prefecture or Royal Capital.
However, whatever secret it was, it was not something he could pry into now.
So Lu Qing put the matter aside.
Still, hearing how powerful the Wei Clan was eased his mind somewhat.
