Hoshino Meigetsu was clutching a quilt around herself, looking at Ling Zhenfei with horror.

Ling Zhenfei glanced at Hoshino Meigetsu: "Why are you yelling indiscriminately? Don't you know someone is searching outside?"

Hoshino Meigetsu calmed down and asked, "Was that black-clad man last night you?"

"Who else could it be if not me? If I hadn't appeared in time, who knows what kind of situation you'd be in now."

Ling Zhenfei was very confident in his heroic rescue, but seeing Hoshino Meigetsu's demeanor, he wasn't pleased.

"Then were you the one who took off my clothes?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked.

"Yes, was there anyone else here? You were injured and I needed to treat your wound, so I took off your clothes. But rest assured, I did nothing except treat your injuries."

Hoshino Meigetsu, looking very displeased, said, "You saw everything you shouldn't have, yet you say you did nothing."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback: "What do you mean? I saved you; forget gratitude, you discredit me. I'll be angry."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "You angry? How dare you be angry?"

Ling Zhenfei was stunned and said, "What? Did I save you wrong? I should have let Watanabe Jiro take you last night, by now you might have finished your wedding."

Tears welled up in Hoshino Meigetsu's eyes, which alarmed Ling Zhenfei: "What do you mean, why are you crying? I really didn't do anything, I just stitched up your wound."

Ling Zhenfei truly felt helpless; what sort of situation was this? Helping others but receiving no thanks, with a face of deep grievance, left him very depressed.

Hoshino Meigetsu, tears flowing, said: "I know you saved me out of good intentions, but don't you know? I am the Celestial Maiden, my body isn't something just anyone can see."

Ling Zhenfei suddenly realized and said: "So that's it, it's just the two of us here. As long as you don't tell and I don't tell, who would know? Rest assured, I definitely won't say anything."

Hoshino Meigetsu, very annoyed, said: "That's self-deception; the ancestors will know."

Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless and said: "Then what do you want? Do you want to kill me?"

Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei and said: "Killing you wouldn't be a bad idea."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback: "Are you kidding? Are you sick? I saved you; you should repay me, but instead, you want to kill me? Are all Japanese like this?"

Hoshino Meigetsu said: "What else can I do? I can't just..."

Before Hoshino Meigetsu could finish, there was a knock at the door: "Open the door inside."

"Open the door, we heard someone inside."

Ling Zhenfei and Hoshino Meigetsu were both shocked because the previous conversation made Ling Zhenfei neglect the fact that there were people searching outside; now it seemed they really had been discovered.

"What do we do now?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked anxiously.

"Don't worry about anything else, hide first. Hide in the wardrobe or under the bed."

Hoshino Meigetsu hesitated a little, but hid in the wardrobe.

"Open up inside, if you don't open, we'll have to break in."

Ling Zhenfei's heart was a bit tense; the excuse from last night seemed irrelevant now in the morning.

Although he was very nervous, Ling Zhenfei still opened the door. Four or five people were standing at the door, ready to rush in.

"What's going on, why are you knocking on the door?"

As soon as Ling Zhenfei opened the door, he yelled aggressively at the people at the door.

The people at the door were all taken aback; they didn't expect the person inside to be so bold.

"Hello, we need to search inside."

"Why? What are you searching for?" Ling Zhenfei asked coldly.

"It's the Ittō-ryū assassin, for your safety please let us in to search."

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Ridiculous, for my safety? If there was danger, I would've been dead last night."

"Sir, please let us in to search. It's our job, otherwise we can't explain to our superiors."

Ling Zhenfei sneered: "What do you mean, suspecting I'm hiding an assassin? Are you mocking me? Do you know who I am?"

"You are Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei, the healer of Mr. Watanabe Kazushi, a guest of the Watanabe Family."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Good, since you know, yet you still want to check my room?"

"Sorry, Mr. Ling, we must check your room; it's our rule. Really sorry, please open the room for us."

This person really seemed impervious to reason, whether Ling Zhenfei used soft or hard tactics, this person wouldn't listen, leaving the situation somewhat at a deadlock.

"You really don't trust me. I'm a distinguished guest of your family, and you distrust me? I'll go find your Family Head." Having no choice, Ling Zhenfei had to bring up Watanabe Nagayumi, but Ling Zhenfei dared not actually let Watanabe Nagayumi be called, or it'd be over if a real search was conducted.

"This is our task. Even if the Clan Leader is called over, we still need to search. If you don't step aside, we'll rush in."

"How dare you!" In truth, Ling Zhenfei was truly fuming, sensing a difficultly resolved situation.

"What's the commotion here?" A voice suddenly appeared, like a gust of Spring Breeze, slightly tempering the impending conflict.

The one who arrived was Watanabe Hideaki, surprisingly here so early, though whether Watanabe Hideaki's appearance was a blessing or a curse, was unclear.

"What's going on, I heard your argument from afar?" Watanabe Hideaki walked over and asked.

"Miss, last night there was an assassin in our manor, they were already injured. We followed the blood trail here, but Mr. Ling won't let us search inside."

Ling Zhenfei got a bit angry upon hearing this excuse, as it was clearly a lie, because when he got here yesterday, he had considered this issue and treated Hoshino Meigetsu's wound before coming.

So there couldn't possibly be a blood trail; if there was, how could it have taken them until this morning to find it? It would have been discovered last night.

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said to the person: "If you suspect me, don't make so many excuses. Where's the blood trail? Show me. If it really leads into my room, search as you wish.

But if you can't find a blood trail, suspecting I'm hiding an assassin? That I won't accept. I came to the Watanabe Family at the invitation of Family Head Watanabe Nagayumi to treat Mr. Watanabe Kazushi; you look down on me."

Ling Zhenfei immediately countered, putting that person in a dilemma, using Watanabe Kazushi to press them.

Watanabe Hideaki laughed and said: "I was wondering what's going on, turns out it's just this matter. Mr. Ling is a distinguished guest of our family, there's no questioning that, anyone would be unhappy, let alone a guest like Mr. Ling.
