Watanabe Nagayumi was taken aback: "What do you want? Just say it."
Ling Zhenfei said: "To be honest, I haven't really thought it through. Can you give me a little time to consider?"
Watanabe Kazushi couldn't sit still at this moment.
"Ling Zhenfei, why are you dawdling? How about this, I'll give you a day to think about it. If you can't come up with something by tomorrow, what awaits you won't be fine food and wine."
After speaking, Watanabe Kazushi headed straight for the door and said, "See, Mr. Ling, I'm actually quite reasonable. If you really let my uncle ask you, your legs would probably be broken by now."
Ling Zhenfei said: "Alright then, let me think carefully."
"How about this, you go back and think it over carefully. By tomorrow, make sure you have
an answer, or else my uncle will really get angry and your little life will be at stake."
"Of course, of course."
Ling Zhenfei was then taken to a room by the pond, the room he had always stayed in, so he was very familiar with it.
Ling Zhenfei didn't expect to be back in this room. The only difference was that he could sense someone in the nearby house where Xia Shan once lived.
This person was obviously a master, with Great Perfection in the Zhiyi Boundary. Though this person had never shown themselves, Ling Zhenfei had long felt their Divine Sense covering his small room.
It was very clear that any movement Ling Zhenfei made would certainly be discovered immediately.
Ling Zhenfei smiled slightly; how could he not know this little trick?
Ling Zhenfei stayed calmly in his room, also cultivating inside. It was daytime, not the time for Ling Zhenfei to act. He acted at night.
The time slowly turned into night. Originally, he thought Watanabe Hideaki would come to him, but until nightfall, Watanabe Hideaki never showed up. It seemed that something happened again, because Watanabe Nagayumi didn't want Watanabe Hideaki to meet Ling Zhenfei at all.
Perhaps he made up another excuse to stop Watanabe Hideaki from coming to him. Ling Zhenfei didn't mind at all; it would be better not to let Watanabe Hideaki get involved to avoid fighting her father later.
Ling Zhenfei felt the Divine Sense of the expert across from him watching him constantly, but Ling Zhenfei wasn't afraid at all. He already had a plan.
Ling Zhenfei laid out the quilt, leaving some Northern Spiritual Energy on it, and a trace of Divine Sense. Meanwhile, he put on a Concealment Ring, which made him undetectable by Divine Sense.
The expert across the way could sense someone in Ling Zhenfei's room with Spiritual Energy, but didn't realize that it had been swapped out for the bedding by Ling Zhenfei.
Ling Zhenfei changed into black clothes and silently left his room through the window.
The Watanabe Family manor was in complete darkness at night, and given that Ling Zhenfei had already reached the Dawen Realm, not being discovered was incredibly easy. With the Concealment Ring, even Watanabe Kazushi might not detect him.
Ling Zhenfei wasn't sure where he wanted to go. His goal was to find Hoshino Junka. She was captured yesterday, and today he didn't know where she's been taken.
Ling Zhenfei didn't dare to use Divine Sense to search, fearing Watanabe Kazushi would notice. He could only search bit by bit, avoiding Watanabe Kazushi's house to avoid any issues.
The Watanabe Manor was truly sprawling, with tall buildings, short buildings, single story houses, and small courtyards. Ling Zhenfei didn't know where to look for Hoshino Junka.
He guessed Hoshino Junka was probably imprisoned in a dungeon-like place, similar to where he was held at Ittō-ryū, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find such a place.
Ling Zhenfei felt he should ask someone for directions and saw a two-story building ahead. It was very unique. There weren't many such buildings in the entire Watanabe Manor, so the person living here wasn't likely an ordinary person.
Ling Zhenfei quietly probed with Divine Sense, and when he reached the second floor, he was startled.
He hadn't expected to find something distinctive on the second floor. There was a woman resting in a room, but she wasn't asleep; she was doing something private.
Using Soul Out of Body, Ling Zhenfei entered the woman's room and finally saw her face clearly.
The woman was about thirty years old, very beautiful, with countless charms in her expression. Her figure was excellent, her skin fair and body well-proportioned, a typical Japanese beauty.
What shocked Ling Zhenfei most was that he had seen this woman before, not long after arriving at the Watanabe Manor, at a banquet where she was introduced by Watanabe Nagayumi himself.
This woman was Watanabe Nagayumi's wife, named Suzuki Keiko, whom he married just a few years ago.
Watanabe Nagayumi's original wife was Watanabe Hideaki's mother, but she passed away early. It's surprising that at his age, Watanabe Nagayumi remarried; he truly had a youthful heart.
Ling Zhenfei's mind raced. Since this woman was Watanabe Nagayumi's wife, she probably knew a lot. Asking her for information would be beneficial.
Ling Zhenfei smiled and leapt to the second floor, lightly knocking on the window pane. In the room, Suzuki Keiko was taken aback, then her face lit up with joy.
She got up from the bed, opened the window, and pulled Ling Zhenfei inside.
"You rogue, why haven't you come for so long? I missed you so much."
Ling Zhenfei quickly understood. She must have mistaken him for someone else.
Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't stay long. There were more important things to do.
"Who are you? I know you're not Koizumi," Suzuki Keiko suddenly asked.
"You know I'm not Koizumi yet you ask?" Ling Zhenfei chuckled.
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said: "Then turn on the light and see."
After hesitating, Suzuki Keiko switched on the lamp beside the bed. Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, she was startled.
"Why is it you?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed: "Why can't it be me?"
"You're that Divine Doctor from Huaxia Country; how could it be you?" Suzuki Keiko was very surprised.
"Why not me?" Ling Zhenfei noticed Suzuki Keiko's shock, even a bit of fear.
"Weren't you already gone? Why did you come back?" It was clear Suzuki Keiko knew some things that were happening in the manor.
"That's right, Watanabe Nagayumi invited me back. I just didn't expect Mrs. Watanabe to be so hospitable, entertaining me on behalf of Mr. Watanabe."
As Ling Zhenfei said this, Suzuki Keiko's face changed, showing a trace of panic on her beautiful face.
"Sir, please don't tell my husband; I had no choice. I'm a woman; I need to live, too."
