At this mont, Ling Zhenfei realized that Watanabe Nagayumi and the others had been watching him all along. If he had made even the slightest move earlier, they would have attacked him all at once.
After Ling Zhenfei put it away, that person picked up the two pieces of Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth and left, but Ling Zhenfei had already sent out a Divine Sense to secretly follow the person, wanting to see where they would place the two pieces of yellow cloth.
At this mont, Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Mr. Ling, it's not that I am dishonest, but one of these two pieces of Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth is a treasured possession of our Watanabe Family, and the other is also a treasured possession from another great family.
Even though we don't know the secrets hidden within these pieces of cloth, they are very important to us. So while we can lend them to you for research, we cannot give them to Ling Zhenfei."
Ling Zhenfei snorted coldly but did not speak. He was very angry, but tried to appear calm.
His mind was entirely focused on that trace of Divine Sense. He could clearly sense that the person carrying the two pieces of Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth twisted and turned to reach a room on the top floor.
This room had two heavy doors, with very tight security. Guards with guns stood at the entrance, making entry extrely difficult.
However, since he knew the location, Ling Zhenfei saw it as no obstacle; he believed that if he wanted to, he could definitely retrieve it.
After casually eating sothing, Ling Zhenfei returned to his room. He had already made up his mind to let his soul out of his body for a nightti excursion.
Of course, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't be rash enough to steal the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth tonight; he first wanted to understand the true strength of the Watanabe Family and how many experts they had hidden in the dark.
However, such things couldn't be done too obviously, so he had to wait until the dead of night to avoid being detected.
So Ling Zhenfei read a book, keeping at it until midnight, when he suddenly heard a noise outside the window. Ling Zhenfei was slightly surprised; what could possibly be making noise at this hour?
Curious, Ling Zhenfei opened the window, but there was no one outside, only a slightly chilly breeze.
Just then, sothing suddenly flew in from outside. Ling Zhenfei imdiately recognized it as a Paper Crane ssaging.
One look was enough to know it must be a Paper Crane ssage from Hoshino igetsu. But why was Hoshino igetsu still up so late?
The paper crane fluttered gently and landed in front of Ling Zhenfei. He caught it with his hand and opened it, revealing a line of very elegant writing.
"Please et at the Tanbian Plum Blossom Pavilion." Signed by Hoshino igetsu.
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. Hoshino igetsu had actually co to the Watanabe Manor; she was quite bold.
The Plum Blossom Pavilion ntioned by Hoshino igetsu was undoubtedly the pavilion where they chatted with Watanabe Hideaki during the day. The Watanabe and Hoshino families are arch-enemies. How could she co here in the middle of the night without fear of being discovered?
Despite thinking this, Ling Zhenfei draped a coat over himself and walked towards the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
The plum blossoms beside the pavilion were in full bloom, their fragrance even stronger at night. As he turned past the plum blossom wall, he saw a graceful silhouette standing inside the Plum Blossom Pavilion.
From a distance, it looked like a beautiful scene under the night moon.
That person was undoubtedly Hoshino igetsu, and Ling Zhenfei directly walked towards the pavilion.
Sure enough, it was Hoshino igetsu, that mysterious Celestial Maiden, a girl who showed a different style each ti they t.
Seeing Ling Zhenfei, Watanabe i smiled slightly: "Li Hao Miracle Doctor, I'm Hoshino igetsu."
At this mont, Hoshino igetsu was dressed in a tight samurai outfit, showcasing her heroic spirit vividly, giving off a very different kind of charm.
She held a fan in her hand, which seed very special in the frigid winter.
"Hello, Miss Hoshino, I wonder what brings you to at such a late hour?"
Hoshino igetsu said, "I'm sorry about today. I t you but didn't know you were Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei; it's truly a case of the eyes not recognizing Mount Tai."
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "You shouldn't say that. I'm just a small doctor."
Hoshino igetsu said, "Sir, you are too modest. You are not just any doctor; for Watanabe Nagayumi to invite you from Huaxia shows you're not an ordinary person.
Moreover, Watanabe Kazushi has been poisoned for many years, and many expert doctors have been sought, yet no one could cure him. You solved the poison in just two days, which only proves how extraordinary you are."
Ling Zhenfei said, "It was just a coincidence."
Hoshino igetsu looked Ling Zhenfei up and down and said, "I'm very curious, what kind of promise did Watanabe Nagayumi make to bring you from Huaxia here."
Ling Zhenfei beca very angry at Hoshino igetsu's ntion of this matter, feeling it was ridiculous. The promise sounded good, but they wouldn't deliver; it truly made Ling Zhenfei very upset.
"It's nothing worth ntioning," Ling Zhenfei obviously couldn't disclose it, as it would be too embarrassing.
Hoshino igetsu said, "But you must be wary of the Watanabe Family; they're all shaless scoundrels, often going back on their word, so be sure to be vigilant."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised; it seed Hoshino igetsu understood the Watanabe Family very well, further proving the deep-seated animosity between the Hoshino and Watanabe families.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Thank you, Miss Hoshino, for the warning, but did you co here tonight at great risk just to say sothing so simple?"
Hoshino igetsu said, "Actually, I have another favor to ask you tonight."
"Please go ahead, what is it?"
Hoshino igetsu said, "It's like this: knowing your dical arts are divine, I wonder if you could look at my father's illness? I would be very grateful."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised; so Hoshino igetsu had co to ask for his help. Should he agree?
Faced with such a beautiful woman, Ling Zhenfei was inclined to help, but during the day he'd already decided he couldn't get involved in the Watanabe and Hoshino family feud.
His current goal was to obtain the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth and return ho imdiately, so he didn't want any additional trouble.
After thinking it over, Ling Zhenfei said, "Miss Hoshino, I'm currently at the Watanabe residence helping treat Watanabe Kazushi. Going to the Hoshino residence doesn't seem appropriate, given your two families' feud. How about after treating Kazushi, I assist in your father's treatnt."
Hoshino igetsu said, "I understand your concerns, but such worries need to be set aside now. Once you cure Watanabe Kazushi, the Watanabe Family will gain enormous power, causing the Hoshino Family great loss."
Ling Zhenfei found it amusing. Did they really think he would cure Watanabe Kazushi? Perhaps as soon as he got the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, he'd escape.
"But Miss Hoshino, are you asking to treat Watanabe Kazushi while also treating your father? That seems unrealistic."
