Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and still decided to return to his room, which was a small standalone house, so he wasn't worried about being discovered when he went back. Moreover, it's often said the most dangerous place is the safest.

Perhaps those people might not search for Ling Zhenfei to save face for the Divine Doctor, but who could really guarantee that?

At this moment, there was no better way. Thinking of this, Ling Zhenfei made up his mind and carried Hoshino Meigetsu back to his room.

Not long after reaching the room, the searchers arrived and started banging on the door outside.

"Open the door, quick, open the door."

"If you don't open, we're about to break it down."

"Yes, hurry up and open it."

The room door suddenly opened, startling the people at the entrance.

Ling Zhenfei stood at the door, half-asleep, "What do you guys want? Are you out of your mind?"

With an angry face, Ling Zhenfei looked as if he was about to erupt. The searchers quickly said, "Sorry, Mr. Ling. It's just that a female assassin sneaked in from outside just now."

"And then? Did you catch her?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"No, we didn't catch her, but she was injured and ran off, so we're in the middle of a search."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then hurry up and search. Why disturb my sleep?"

The person said, "The lord said every room must be searched, so here we are."

Ling Zhenfei suddenly got angry, "What do you mean you need to search here? Do you know who I am? I'm Ling Zhenfei. I cleared the poison from Watanabe Kazushi. I was sleeping well, and you woke me up. Are you insane?"

"No, Mr. Ling, we truly apologize, but it was the lord's order to search every room."

Ling Zhenfei was very angry: "Fine, go search, but mark my words. If you find something, fine. But if not, I will be furious.

Tomorrow, I have to treat Mr. Watanabe Kazushi. There's something wrong with me that if I don't sleep well, I can't perform treatments, and you all have to bear that responsibility."

Those searchers looked at each other, apparently intimidated by Ling Zhenfei.

"I think Divine Doctor Ling is right, even if an assassin wanted to assassinate, they wouldn't target Divine Doctor Ling. We're overthinking this. The assassin surely isn't inside."

"That's right. The assassin isn't inside, let's go." Though said, they still took a glance inside. Seeing no one, they left.

Ling Zhenfei closed the door again and took Hoshino Meigetsu out of the closet, placing her back on the bed, and checked her wounds.

Hoshino Meigetsu's injuries were both internal and external. The external wound was from being slashed by Bald's Phantom Blade, and because of the large cut, there was heavy bleeding.

Now Hoshino Meigetsu was already unconscious. Ling Zhenfei knew immediate treatment was needed. He had already sealed her acupoints, but blood was still seeping out.

Ling Zhenfei used scissors to cut open her clothes, removing the outer layers, leaving only her undergarments.

One had to admit, Hoshino Meigetsu had a great figure and very good skin, it's just a pity she was wounded now, marred by a scar.

After cleaning and disinfecting her wound, Ling Zhenfei sutured it, finally applying his self-prepared ointment to ensure her wound wouldn't scar in the future.

Such a beautiful body, leaving a scar would be an eyesore.

After handling everything, Ling Zhenfei gave Hoshino Meigetsu a few elixirs, only then did he feel at ease.

He arranged Hoshino Meigetsu on the bed to sleep well, while Ling Zhenfei used Soul Out of Body to reach the Watanabe Family's yard.

The Watanabe Family was out in full force searching, looking like they wouldn't stop until the target was found.

Originally, Ling Zhenfei wanted to use Soul Out of Body to visit the treasure vault on the top floor, but sensing it wasn't the right time, tonight had already drawn attention, and there were more guards at the entrance, so going would only be a look.

After returning, Ling Zhenfei practiced cultivation in the room, listening to Hoshino Meigetsu's gradually steady breathing.

Ling Zhenfei knew the elixirs given to Hoshino Meigetsu were working; otherwise, her internal injuries would be very severe.

At this moment, Hoshino Meigetsu's phone rang. Ling Zhenfei took the phone out for a glance and could recognize the character Xia on the screen, it should be the girl from lunch earlier.

Ling Zhenfei knew that as a Celestial Maiden, Hoshino Meigetsu was very important, if she didn't return, it would surely cause a stir.

Hoshino Meigetsu had definitely told someone before she came, possibly this Xiao Xia. If the call wasn't answered now, it might be thought that something had happened to her, and the Ittō-ryū could come crashing in.

After thinking for a moment, Ling Zhenfei picked up the call, and a girl's voice came through the phone, "Sis, what's going on, are you out yet?"

Ling Zhenfei didn't know how to respond for a moment, and Xiao Xia continued on the other end, "Why aren't you speaking, sister? What's wrong, where are you?"

Ling Zhenfei replied softly, "Li Hao."

A single "Li Hao" terrified Xiao Xia on the other end, "Who are you, why do you have my sister's phone?"

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly explained, "Your sister is now at Watanabe Manor, something happened, and she is with me now."

Ling Zhenfei didn't know how to explain, not sure how to make it clear. Ling Zhenfei himself hadn't figured it out.

"What do you mean, who are you, speak quickly or I'll tell the Family Head." Xiao Xia was very frightened on the other end.

Ling Zhenfei quickly said, "Don't tell anyone about this, just know Hoshino Meigetsu is very safe."

"No, you must explain clearly." Xiao Xia was very stubborn on the other end.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Your sister was discovered at Watanabe Manor, being pursued. I saved her, do you understand now?"

Xiao Xia said, "Oh, then why isn't my sister picking up the phone?"

"Because your sister is angry, she can't answer the phone, understand? Alright, that's it, I'm hanging up."

Xiao Xia said, "Wait, I have one more question."

"What question?"

Xiao Xia asked, "Are you the person from lunch earlier?"

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Yes, that's me. Now are you assured? Maybe your sister will return tomorrow."

Xiao Xia said, "Still not assured, seeing your suspicious look, you better not do anything to my sister. I must tell you, my sister is a Celestial Maiden."

"Alright, stop with the nonsense, wait until your sister is back and ask her yourself." He hung up the phone after speaking, uncertain whether the girl understood, but at least the Ittō-ryū wouldn't charge in.

There were people continuously searching outside the courtyard, through the whole night, until the next morning when Ling Zhenfei was practicing, suddenly startled by a scream.

The scream came from Hoshino Meigetsu, and Ling Zhenfei looked over to Hoshino Meigetsu on the bed.
