Ling Zhenfei said, "Life is a long journey, most of the time you still need to keep going. The most important thing is how to make your own path exciting."

Watanabe Hideaki nodded, seriously looking at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Big Brother Ling, if I asked you to stay in Japan, would you stay?"

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback; Watanabe Hideaki's words clearly had a deeper meaning. However, Ling Zhenfei would definitely not stay in Japan. It might be a nice choice to travel here, but he hadn't thought about residing permanently.

"I'm sorry, but I really haven't considered staying here permanently." Ling Zhenfei said truthfully to Watanabe Hideaki, but Watanabe Hideaki seemed a bit unhappy upon hearing this.

The two parted ways, each heading to their own places, but it was clear that Watanabe Hideaki felt disappointed. However, at this moment, Ling Zhenfei couldn't care much about that since he had spoken truthfully.

With a hint of melancholy, Ling Zhenfei returned to where he was staying. Here, the lights were just being turned on, as it was winter and the night fell particularly early.

A large black cloud drifted over from afar, making the originally dark sky even darker. Perhaps a heavy snow would fall soon.

When Ling Zhenfei opened the door, he was slightly stunned because he saw that Hoshino Meigetsu hadn't left yet.

"Why haven't you left?" Ling Zhenfei asked in disbelief.

According to Ling Zhenfei's estimation, Hoshino Meigetsu should have left as soon as it got dark.

Hoshino Meigetsu looked at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Why, are you in such a hurry to kick me out? Do you really think I'm fond of your place?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "If you're not fond of my place, then hurry up and leave. What are you staying here for?"

Hoshino Meigetsu was also slightly annoyed, "Ling Zhenfei, what do you mean by saying I'm lingering here, making it sound like I have no self-respect. It's because my injury hasn't healed, and I can't move easily."

Ling Zhenfei walked over to Hoshino Meigetsu's side, grabbed her wrist, and felt her pulse.

"What are you doing?" Hoshino Meigetsu was startled by Ling Zhenfei's sudden roughness.

"Don't move." Ling Zhenfei's voice made Hoshino Meigetsu stop trying to move.

"Your pulse shows you're almost healed, so you can leave very smoothly now, why haven't you left?" Ling Zhenfei was a bit surprised at Hoshino Meigetsu's intentions.

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "Of course, I can't leave yet because I have a very important thing to do."

"What is it?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"Of course, it's to persuade you not to treat Watanabe Kazushi, especially not to force out the Northern Spiritual Energy from his body, the consequences of that would be unimaginable."

Hearing Hoshino Meigetsu's words, Ling Zhenfei considered whether to tell her about his decision to help Watanabe Kazushi with the treatment.

"Then I'll just tell you my decision, I have already decided, tomorrow I'll help Watanabe Kazushi with the treatment and force out the Northern Spiritual Energy from his body."

Ling Zhenfei's words shocked Hoshino Meigetsu, and she looked at him in disbelief, asking, "Why, why did you make this decision?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why can't I make this decision? I originally came to Japan to help Watanabe Kazushi with his illness, it's what a doctor should do. My duty is to heal the patient, not to worry about whether the patient is a good person or a bad person after being cured."

Ling Zhenfei's words made sense; he came to Japan to treat Watanabe Kazushi. However, after hearing Hoshino Meigetsu's words, he did start to have some reservations about Watanabe Kazushi.

But a doctor's duty is to save lives and help the injured, regardless of whether the person being saved is good or bad, which is something Ling Zhenfei only recently realized.

Hoshino Meigetsu was a bit agitated, "Ling Zhenfei, I know you may have your reasons, but I really have to tell you that Watanabe Kazushi is a very dangerous person. Once you heal him, he can kill a lot of people."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Why do you say that about Watanabe Kazushi? He doesn't seem like that kind of person to me, and besides, how many people Watanabe Kazushi kills doesn't seem very related to me."

At this moment, Hoshino Meigetsu was speechless, but it could be seen that she was really very anxious.

"What kind of benefits did Watanabe Kazushi promise you to treat him? If you promise not to treat Watanabe Kazushi, we, the Ittō-ryū, can offer it to you."

"Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, and it's two pieces, do you have it?"

Ling Zhenfei told Hoshino Meigetsu the truth; if she could also provide the same things, he wouldn't care who he treated, as his goal was the Divine Cloth.

"Is it the legendary Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth with infinite divine power but no practical use?" Hoshino Meigetsu asked.

"That's right, it's that useless Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth, do you have it?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "No wonder Watanabe Nagayumi was frantically searching for the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth over ten days ago. Some speculated then that Watanabe Nagayumi discovered the secret of the Divine Cloth, and it turns out it was you who wanted it."

"That's right, tomorrow I'll treat Watanabe Kazushi, and once the Northern Spiritual Energy is expelled from his body, the Heaven-Devouring Divine Cloth will be mine. I will leave immediately and will not interfere in the dispute between the Watanabe and Hoshino families."

Hoshino Meigetsu said, "Do you really think you haven't interfered? Curing Watanabe Kazushi is equivalent to adding a powerful hand to the Watanabe family, giving us in the Ittō-ryū a very terrifying opponent."

Ling Zhenfei said, "There's nothing I can do. It's like selling a kitchen knife; once I sell it, I can't guarantee whether the buyer will use it for cutting vegetables or butchering chickens."

Hoshino Meigetsu's expression was icy, if there was any other choice, Ling Zhenfei really didn't want Hoshino Meigetsu to be hurt, but at this point, it seemed he didn't have much choice left.

Hoshino Meigetsu sat on the sofa angrily without looking at Ling Zhenfei, clearly very heartbroken.

Ling Zhenfei felt some heartache but had no choice; he couldn't possibly do nothing for a woman.

"Ling Zhenfei, why did you come? Couldn't you just stay in Huaxia? It's because of your arrival that everything has changed. Originally, the Ittō-ryū and Iga-ryu were evenly matched, but now, because of you, there might be a war again."

Hoshino Meigetsu became more agitated, even shedding tears.

The tears of a beautiful woman are always so heart-wrenching.

"I'm sorry, it wasn't intentional. After this is over, I'll leave as soon as possible, but the issue between the Ittō-ryū and Iga-ryu has been going on for so long, it's long past the point of resolution.

So the war is just a matter of time. I came to Japan without doing much, only as a doctor to treat a patient. Anything else happening is not related to me."
