Ling Zhenfei was a bit curious in his heart, what exactly was the enmity between Ittō-ryū and the Watanabe Family? It seemed like they were quite incompatible.
He wanted to listen to their conversation to glean some information from it, but just then, the door of the tavern opened again and two people walked in from outside.
Ling Zhenfei recognized these two people; they were from the Watanabe Family. He had spoken to them this morning while curing Watanabe Kazushi of his poison, and now they had come looking for him.
As soon as they saw Ling Zhenfei, they immediately approached him and, in a low voice, said, "Mr. Ling, our Family Head wants you to come back. There's something important he needs to discuss with you."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, "What important matter?"
One of them said, "The Family Head didn't specify, but he seemed very anxious."
Ling Zhenfei felt a stir in his heart. Could it be that something happened to Watanabe Kazushi? But the poison in him had already been cleared, so what could possibly be the issue?
"Let's hurry back then," Ling Zhenfei knew that treating the ailment was still the priority; it was the reason he had come here.
From a distant table, the three Celestial Maidens also noticed the two people from the Watanabe Family, but they didn't want to stir up trouble, so they didn't say anything.
Just then, Xiao Xia suddenly shouted, "Sis, I found it! There really is a Divine Doctor in Huaxia."
The Celestial Maiden said, "How come I've never heard of them before?"
Xiao Xia said, "This Divine Doctor is called Ling Zhenfei. He's very young and currently has a high reputation in Huaxia. I also checked; he flew to Japan yesterday, with Nagoya as his destination."
The Celestial Maiden was slightly shocked. No need to say more; it was certain he had already arrived in Japan and was now in Nagoya.
"Do you have a photo? Find me a photo so I can take a look."
Xiao Xia quickly typed on the keyboard, then a picture of Ling Zhenfei appeared on the computer screen.
Xiao Xia and the Celestial Maiden both froze at the sight of the photo because the person in it had been sitting not far from them just now, but when they turned to look, Ling Zhenfei had already left with the two people from the Watanabe Family.
After Ling Zhenfei stepped outside, the two from the Watanabe Family flanked him, one on each side, as if they were afraid he might suddenly run away.
Ling Zhenfei was startled; even if they were bodyguards, wasn't this a bit too close? It made Ling Zhenfei very uncomfortable.
"Why are you staying so close to me? Are you afraid I'll get cold?" Ling Zhenfei asked the two people.
"Mr. Ling, don't joke around. We're here to protect you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Am I a child? Do I still need your protection?"
The two said, "The car is right there, let's hurry and get on. The Family Head is in a big hurry."
Indeed, a car was waiting in the distance, and the two people led Ling Zhenfei towards it.
But just then, three people suddenly rushed out of the tavern, chasing after Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei and his two companions had just reached the car when the three Celestial Maidens caught up.
"Please wait a moment." The Celestial Maiden's voice was cold yet pleasant.
Ling Zhenfei and his companions stopped, looking at the three Celestial Maidens. The two from the Watanabe Family recognized them immediately and braced themselves, asking, "What do you want? Are you thinking of getting physical again? We're not afraid of you."
But the three Celestial Maidens ignored the two from the Watanabe Family and continued to scrutinize Ling Zhenfei intently. They clearly hadn't expected such a young and handsome person to be the Divine Doctor.
"Hello, I'm Hoshino Meigetsu. Are you Ling Zhenfei, the Divine Doctor from Huaxia?" The Celestial Maiden spoke softly to Ling Zhenfei.
Hoshino Meigetsu, what a pleasant name. It must be said that the Japanese excel at naming, though this also inherits from our Chinese ancestors.
Back in the day, Chinese ancestors had both names and courtesy names, not very different. It's just that now, the people of Huaxia only take names without courtesy names.
Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Hello, Miss Hoshino. I am Ling Zhenfei from Huaxia. May I ask what guidance you have?"
Hoshino Meigetsu was very pleased upon hearing Ling Zhenfei's words and said, "I didn't expect to meet you twice already; I just didn't realize that the Divine Doctor of Huaxia would be so young and handsome."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Miss, you're flattering me. Is there something you need?"
Hoshino Meigetsu chuckled coldly and said, "I heard that Mr. Ling has cleared the poison from Jiang Hui Watanabe Kazushi, is that right?"
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "That's right. It's indeed been cleared, but the poison in Mr. Watanabe has been there for too long; some of it has reached the bones. To completely eliminate it will still take a few days."
Hoshino Meigetsu said, "This poison has been with Watanabe Kazushi for over a decade. We never thought it could be cleared. It seems you really do have some skills, sir."
Ling Zhenfei was surprised by how much this Celestial Maiden seemed to know.
"Is there anything else, miss? The Watanabe Family has matters for me to attend to, so I must return."
Hoshino Meigetsu said, "Actually, it's nothing much. Our Hoshino Family also holds sir in high regard and would like to invite you to visit. I wonder if Mr. Ling has time."
Ling Zhenfei felt a jolt, knowing he definitely shouldn't go. He was currently assisting the Watanabe Family's Watanabe Kazushi in recovering. If he went to the home of Watanabe Kazushi's old rivals, it would truly cause a mess for himself.
Despite being personally invited by the Celestial Maiden of Ittō-ryū, Ling Zhenfei still felt he absolutely shouldn't go. It was a trap. Even if Hoshino Meigetsu was beautiful, he was in Japan for a purpose, not to flirt.
"I'm sorry, Miss Hoshino. I'm currently treating Mr. Watanabe, and my energy is limited. If I have time, I will surely visit."
What Ling Zhenfei said was merely a polite refusal. In Huaxia, it would be made very clear that he had no time; it's that simple.
However, Hoshino Meigetsu was very happy and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be waiting at the Hoshino Family for you, sir. You agreed in person, so you must not break your promise."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned. What was this about? When did he agree? Was Hoshino Meigetsu perhaps not right in the head, or was she pretending to be confused?
"Mr. Ling, let's go quickly. We shouldn't waste time talking to them. The Family Head is still waiting for you," the two people beside Ling Zhenfei reminded him.
Ling Zhenfei nodded, glanced at Hoshino Meigetsu, and then got into the car. No matter what, Hoshino Meigetsu was indeed very beautiful. Who knows if they would meet again, so it was worth a look.
Hoshino Meigetsu also looked at him, with a smile on her face. It was a very special smile, making Ling Zhenfei's Director Xin feel a bit different.
The car started moving towards the Watanabe Family in the distance, leaving Hoshino Meigetsu and her companions behind.
"Sis, why didn't you just grab the Divine Doctor earlier? Wouldn't that have been easier?"
