Hoshino Meigetsu hesitated for a moment and said, "Of course I know, don't worry. I'll explain it to you when I get back."

Hoshino Junka laughed and said, "Sis, you're staying there and don't want to come back. You haven't fallen for him, have you?"

"Xiao Xia, what are you talking about? Do you not know who I am? I'll never fall for anyone in my life."

Hoshino Junka replied, "That's good. Just be careful when you sleep at night. Don't let him see what he shouldn't."

"I know, you brat. Just wait until I get back to teach you a lesson."

After the two hung up, Hoshino Meigetsu was a bit lost in thought. Then she logged onto a website on her phone, typed Ling Zhenfei's name, and started searching.

Ling Zhenfei had already arrived at the restaurant by then. There weren't many people in the restaurant today because there were so many members of the Watanabe Family and many samurai apprentices, as well as family apprentices, all coming to the restaurant to eat.

Ling Zhenfei and Watanabe Hideaki ordered a few dishes and sat down to eat.

Watanabe Hideaki said, "You threw Kugi Lang and his friends into the water in the pond today. They've really lost face at the Warrior Hall."

Ling Zhenfei said, "What's the deal with Kugi Lang anyway? Why isn't he afraid of you? Aren't the people here supposed to be respectful to you?"

Watanabe Hideaki explained, "Well, in Watanabe Manor, it's not just our Watanabe Family. This manor encompasses the whole Iga-ryu. Apart from our Watanabe Family, there are three other families.

The Kugi Family is the second largest family after ours, so Kugi Lang has bullied me since childhood. I didn't expect you to help me vent my anger this time."

"He seemed to have a crush on you?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Watanabe Hideaki was a bit embarrassed and said, "He did pursue me, but I rejected him. As you said, who would like someone who is ugly and useless like him."

Ling Zhenfei recalled the words spoken at the pond, and couldn't help but smile a bit.

As they talked, Watanabe Hideaki's phone rang with a call. She spoke a few words in Japanese and then hung up.

Ling Zhenfei thought Watanabe Hideaki speaking Japanese sounded quite nice; it instantly made the otherwise brave Watanabe Hideaki seem very gentle.

Watanabe Hideaki turned to Ling Zhenfei and said, "My father wants you to go to my great-uncle's room after you finish eating; he has something to discuss with you."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised but quickly understood. Watanabe Kazushi must have talked to Watanabe Nagayumi about the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth.

If Watanabe Kazushi could persuade Watanabe Nagayumi, perhaps Ling Zhenfei wouldn't have to go through the trouble of stealing the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth.

Ling Zhenfei finished his meal as quickly as possible and then walked out with Watanabe Hideaki, but he was bumped by a few people at the door.

Ling Zhenfei felt that the person deliberately bumped into him, so he looked at him and saw that Kugi Lang was standing next to him.

Kugi Lang said to the person who bumped Ling Zhenfei, "Bro, it's him."

The person whom Kugi Lang called 'Bro' looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "So it's just someone like this, I thought it'd be someone with three heads and six arms."

This person was a few years older than Ling Zhenfei, but Ling Zhenfei felt this person was quite strong, likely at the middle to late stage of the Zhiyi Boundary, with very dense spiritual energy.

Ling Zhenfei sneered, "Oh, here to cause me trouble again?"

The man said, "You think you can hit my brother and get away with it? The Kugi Family isn't that easy to push around."

Beside them, Watanabe Hideaki angrily said, "Kugi Miyajin, what do you want? Don't you know this is Watanabe Manor?"

Watanabe Hideaki's words made the man restrain himself a lot. He snorted coldly at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Kid, we'll see about this."

After speaking, the group walked inside, while Ling Zhenfei and Watanabe Hideaki headed outside.

"That guy just now was Kugi Miyajin, a genius from Iga-ryu. He's highly regarded in Iga-ryu, so he's very arrogant even in Watanabe Manor. He's Kugi Lang's brother, so he's definitely here to regain face for Kugi Lang."

Ling Zhenfei sneered but didn't say anything. Although Kugi Miyajin was considered a genius in the Iga-ryu, he was only at the middle to late stage of the Zhiyi Realm, far from being a match for him, so he didn't take it seriously.

Ling Zhenfei and Watanabe Hideaki chatted away, and perhaps because she trusted Ling Zhenfei too much, Watanabe Hideaki was forthcoming with all of Ling Zhenfei's questions, leaving nothing out.

Soon, the two reached the room they visited in the morning, and sure enough, both Watanabe Kazushi and Watanabe Nagayumi were inside.

Watanabe Nagayumi said to Watanabe Hideaki, "Hideaki, you should wait outside. We have something to discuss with Divine Doctor Ling."

Though very reluctant, Watanabe Hideaki went outside.

Once Watanabe Hideaki was gone, Watanabe Nagayumi started speaking to Ling Zhenfei.

"Mr. Ling, my brother explained the situation to me. I didn't realize you were so interested in the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth. I initially thought you'd be satisfied just by researching it, but it seems you really want the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, don't you?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "You're right. Mr. Watanabe brought me from Huaxia under false pretenses, first hiding the illness and then altering the promised reward, which makes me quite angry.

I thought you were all very serious and wouldn't let such things happen, but these actions have really damaged the impression I had of you."

Ling Zhenfei spoke honestly, with little reservation; this matter did indeed anger him.

Watanabe Nagayumi apologized, "Really sorry, Mr. Ling. The Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth is extremely important, and no one can understand it; it seems just a rag. That's why I didn't think much of it initially.

My brother already talked to me and criticized my actions. We're willing to follow through on our agreement: if you cure my brother's illness, the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth will be yours."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "But you know about my brother's illness, don't you? There are three scenarios: one, the poison has entered the bone marrow; two, there is a peculiar spiritual energy rampaging inside; and third, a deviation in cultivation. I'm not sure which scenario you want me to cure."

Of course, Ling Zhenfei wasn't foolish; curing all three in a short time would be impossible.

Watanabe Nagayumi replied, "First, you must guarantee to completely cure the poison in the bone marrow within a specified time using medication; second, find a way to expel the spiritual energy within him.

To cure the deviation in cultivation, you must figure out a way to restore at least half of my brother's meridians."

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Completely removing the poison that has reached the bone marrow is entirely impossible, and the deviation in cultivation causes all the body's meridians to reverse and disorder, which cannot be restored by external force."
