The remaining person naturally knew what this meant. Wanting to rescue his two companions, but Ling Zhenfei glanced over.

"Do you two also want to give it a try?"

Ling Zhenfei's words scared the two into stillness; Ling Zhenfei was simply too powerful, giving them no chance whatsoever — this was the disparity in strength.

The two were so terrified they didn't move, their eyes witnessing the spiritual energy of their two companions slowly fade away. One of them fell from the Zhiyi Boundary straight down to the Qi Cultivation Stage.

These two were considered completely crippled. Though it's still possible to cultivate back to the Zhiyi Boundary, the psychological blow was likely insurmountable; they were truly devastated.

Ling Zhenfei released these two people, and they collapsed motionlessly to the ground as if they had died.

Ling Zhenfei said, "That's the origin of the saying 'lust is a knife hanging over your head'; human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei continued to untie Hoshino Junka's ropes, and Hoshino Junka finally regained her freedom. But due to being captured last night, tortured without food, she was completely devoid of energy.

"Big Brother, these two bullied me just now, you have to help me get revenge."

The remaining two people were so frightened they were trembling upon hearing Hoshino Junka's words, fearing that Ling Zhenfei would suddenly use that method on them, leaving them in a despairing state.

Ling Zhenfei's Soul Passage had long enveloped them, and with a movement of Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense, the two people instantly fainted.

Ling Zhenfei knew though he was currently very powerful, he was still carrying Hoshino Junka, and this place was not somewhere to linger. Thus, he carried Hoshino Junka, heading outside.

It was strangely coincidental that just as they exited the room, they ran into a group checking posts.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly flew to the rooftop to hide; although those people couldn't find Ling Zhenfei, Hoshino Junka's rescue was surely to be discovered.

Ling Zhenfei understood it would be discovered eventually but hadn't expected it to be so soon.

These people noticed something amiss with the two guards at the door and quickly rushed downstairs; Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't stay long and ran, carrying Hoshino Junka.

Behind them, alarms began to sound rapidly, the same as when Mingyue came last time, causing Watanabe Manor to mobilize and resulting in Mingyue's severe injuries.

Ling Zhenfei continued running towards the direction of a small building, carrying Hoshino Junka.

"Big Brother, who are you? Do we know each other, and why did you save me?"

Hoshino Junka asked softly from Ling Zhenfei's back.

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Of course we know each other."

"We know each other? How come I don't know I know such an incredible master?" Hoshino Junka asked, very surprised.

Ling Zhenfei said, "Take a guess, maybe you'll figure it out?"

Hoshino Junka guessed for a while but still couldn't figure it out and said, "Can I take off your mask and look?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Whatever, I don't need it now anyway."

Hoshino Junka looked very nervous and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Then I'll really look."

After speaking, Hoshino Junka leaned her head to Ling Zhenfei's side and gently removed the mask from Ling Zhenfei's face.

At the instant she took off the mask, Hoshino Junka was stunned; she saw Ling Zhenfei and never imagined it was Ling Zhenfei who had come.

Just moments ago, Hoshino Junka was fine, but now tears began streaming down unexpectedly, and she collapsed onto Ling Zhenfei's shoulder.

"Big Brother Ling, I didn't expect it would be you, really didn't expect you to come save me. Weren't you injured? Weren't you locked in the dungeon? How did you come to rescue me?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "This is a very complicated story; now's not the time to discuss it. Let me get you to a safe place first, then we'll talk."

"We've been discovered; can we really escape?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Don't worry, I'm here."

Hoshino Junka nodded, seemingly trusting Ling Zhenfei's words completely, even giving him a kiss on the cheek. Ling Zhenfei quickened his pace and reached the house where Suzuki Keiko was.

Ling Zhenfei's speed remained unchanged as he flew up to the second floor and entered directly through the window.

Suzuki Keiko was clearly still waiting and was very shocked to see Ling Zhenfei fly in through the window.

But seeing someone was on Ling Zhenfei's back made her even more amazed; it was downright unbelievable.

"Who is this?" Suzuki Keiko asked.

Ling Zhenfei placed Hoshino Junka on the bed and said, "This is a friend of mine. From now on, she'll hide here, and you must take good care of her without getting discovered."

Suzuki Keiko said, "Of course, if she gets found out, it implicates me."

Ling Zhenfei introduced Hoshino Junka: "Xiao Xia, this is Sister Keiko, I've entrusted you to her, you must listen and avoid causing trouble."

Hoshino Junka looked at Suzuki Keiko and said, "I understand, I will behave."

Meanwhile, the alarm outside was clamoring, clearly searching the whole manor. Ling Zhenfei said, "It's a mess; I need to hurry back to avoid getting caught."

Ling Zhenfei turned and was about to leave but suddenly remembered something and removed the Concealment Ring from his hand, handing it to Hoshino Junka, "Wear this."

Hoshino Junka was startled: "A ring? Are you proposing to me?"

Ling Zhenfei was also surprised: "What are you talking about? This is a Concealment Ring that allows you to hide undetected. Put it on quickly; I need to go."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei flew downstairs, disappearing into the night.

Suzuki Keiko watched Ling Zhenfei vanish, then looked at Hoshino Junka, asking, "Is he your boyfriend?"

Hoshino Junka nodded and laughed, "Yes, he's my boyfriend. Isn't he amazing?"

Suzuki Keiko nodded, "Indeed, he's incredibly skilled, probably the most capable man I've ever met."

Hoshino Junka sensed something off: "Sister Suzuki, he's mine; don't think about taking him from me."

Suzuki Keiko sighed, "Don't worry, I won't compete with you; it's not like I have the means to anyway."

Hoshino Junka felt relieved hearing Suzuki Keiko's words and asked, "By the way, Sister Keiko, how did you meet Big Brother Ling, and how long have you known each other?"

"Uh, that's a long story; maybe you should ask your Big Brother Ling another time." Suzuki Keiko's face blushed slightly, certainly not wanting to reveal the truth to Hoshino Junka.

Meanwhile, Ling Zhenfei had reached the pond room he occupied; several people outside were banging heavily at the door.

"Hurry and open the door, let us in quickly."

"Open the door, or we'll force it open."

"Break the door down quickly."
