However, the Yang Nin are different. They are similar to samurai, openly using their strength to defeat others.

Ling Zhenfei had encountered several attacks from Japanese ninjas before in Huaxia, and they were mostly sent by Watanabe Nagayumi, mostly Yin Nin.

After arriving here, Ling Zhenfei was quite puzzled. How come the Watanabe Family, known for Yang Nin, sent Yin Nin to Huaxia to assassinate him? At this moment, Ling Zhenfei had an understanding.

Kai is also a ninja school, originally active in the Kai region, so now there are Kai branches in Bin Qi Wu, and Watanabe Kazushi from the Iga-ryu always wanted to ally with the Kai Family through marriage.

This would strengthen their power; the Kai Family is a legitimate Yin Nin, extremely powerful.

Ling Zhenfei estimated that the previous assassination attempt by Yin Nin in Huaxia was a result of the negotiations between Watanabe Kazushi and the Kai Family.

It is impossible for Huaxia to kill openly, so sending two assassins was the best choice, but he didn't expect all these people to be solved by Ling Zhenfei.

Thinking about if the Kai Family were to ally with the Iga-ryu, it wouldn't end well for the Ittō-ryū which is also in the same area.

But the relationships between ninja families are complex and not something that can be explained in a few words. The several parties are intertwined, with no single most powerful one. Thus balance is achieved.

Originally, both the Iga-ryu and Ittō-ryū had experts above the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, Watanabe Kazushi and Hoshino Yuji, but both were injured almost at the same time, and now with Watanabe Kazushi's strength recovered, it became a dominant force.

"The person I am to marry is named Kai Masao, he is too ugly and just a Martial Man, only knows to use brute force. I don't like him at all. Do you think I can be happy marrying such a person?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then what can you do? Aren't alliances through marriage generally unhappy?"

Ling Zhenfei said this because he thought of Suzuki Keiko; she married Watanabe Nagayumi, the father of Watanabe Hideaki. This is also a real political marriage, and isn't it also unhappy?

Watanabe Hideaki looked at Ling Zhenfei, and suddenly said, "Otherwise, Big Brother Ling, let's elope!"

Ling Zhenfei almost spat out blood, truly never expected Watanabe Hideaki to say such a thing, did she think Ling Zhenfei was a child?

"Don't act out of impulse. If you run away with me, how will you explain it to your father? You can't think only about yourself and not about others and other matters."

Ling Zhenfei couldn't help but think of Hoshino Meigetsu again. Both of them were originally sacrifices for their families, and Hoshino Meigetsu, being the Celestial Maiden, couldn't marry, living a life of loneliness.

But thinking about his family, his father still decided to endure, while Watanabe Hideaki, also a sacrifice for the family, thought instead of eloping with Ling Zhenfei.

This reflects two different personalities, and Ling Zhenfei truly couldn't decide which type he prefers.

Watanabe Hideaki seems like the kind of person who, for her feelings, can give up everything.

While Hoshino Meigetsu is the type who can live life well, two styles, two feelings.

"But I really don't like him, let's just go, like you said earlier, you can abduct me, make my father let you go, and then we can run far away, to your home, so no one can find us."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Is this what you truly want?"

When Ling Zhenfei asked this, Watanabe Hideaki hesitated instead, and after a while said, "I know this might just be my fantasy, I can't leave my family behind and ignore them, and it's impossible for me to elope with someone I like.

It's impossible to get the happiness I want. My fate is just that bad; I always get what others want, and what I want is always out of reach."

Ling Zhenfei also felt helpless. Everyone has their moments of adversity, always feeling like the heavens owe them, but in reality, no one owes anyone.

While the two were talking, Ling Zhenfei felt Northern Spiritual Energy approaching and quickly gestured silence to Watanabe Hideaki, and after a few seconds, someone knocked on the door.

"Hello Mr. Ling, Miss Watanabe, the master invited you to dinner."

The voice outside called. Although it was said to be for dinner, Ling Zhenfei knew it wasn't that simple.

Calling them to dinner wouldn't require the use of an expert at the Zhiyi Boundary; it was a bit of an overkill.

There seem to be two reasons. The first is because Ling Zhenfei and Watanabe Hideaki stayed in the room for a little too long, and Ling Zhenfei sealed the entire room with Northern Spiritual Energy, so they didn't know what was happening in the room.

The second is that the situation has changed, so the one who came to call them for dinner was an expert at the Zhiyi Boundary.

"Alright, we're coming."

Ling Zhenfei called out towards the door, then walked out of the room with Watanabe Hideaki.

Standing outside the room was indeed an expert at the Zhiyi Boundary, and though he concealed his Northern Spiritual Energy, he couldn't hide it from Ling Zhenfei, who was at a higher level.

"Where are we having dinner?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

"To the small dining room," the person replied.

Watanabe Hideaki said, "Alright, understood, I will guide Mr. Ling there."

Watanabe Hideaki led Ling Zhenfei towards the small dining room, and on the way, Ling Zhenfei asked, "Do you feel like something is strange?"

Watanabe Hideaki asked in surprise, "What is it, what's strange?"

"That person just now doesn't usually do this kind of work, right?"

Upon hearing this, Watanabe Hideaki realized, saying, "Yes, I've never seen him before."

Ling Zhenfei understood there must have been a change in the situation; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for such a change, but didn't Watanabe Nagayumi have everything arranged? Why would there still be changes?

The two walked towards the small dining room, and suddenly a woman approached, saying to Watanabe Hideaki, "My lady, where have you run off to, and why are you dressed like this?"

Watanabe Hideaki said, "What's wrong with it? Isn't it nice?" she said, twirling around.

The person said, "Don't you know? Someone from the Kai Family has come, you can't go dressed like that."

The Kai Family has arrived!

Ling Zhenfei finally realized what the change was. Originally, Watanabe Nagayumi had everything arranged, but with the arrival of someone from the Kai Family, something might have changed.

Ling Zhenfei felt slightly worried. The matter that had been resolved might now have new developments.

Upon hearing that someone from the Kai Family had arrived, Watanabe Hideaki's expression immediately turned silent.

"So what if they're here, if they call off the engagement, I'd be happy."

"No way, the master instructed that you must change your clothes before going, or he will be angry again."

There was no choice for Watanabe Hideaki, and she was eventually dragged away by that woman.

Ling Zhenfei felt quite helpless; it seems that things have indeed taken a new turn, and he could only take it one step at a time.

Ling Zhenfei walked alone towards the small dining room, and as soon as he reached the door, someone was there to greet him, it was none other than Watanabe No, the person who welcomed him the first time he came.

"Brother Ling, please come in, everyone's waiting for you inside."
