Ling Zhenfei showed a hint of embarrassment and said, "Is it appropriate to do it here? I need you to take off your clothes, and then I can conduct a comprehensive examination. Are you sure we can do it here?"

As soon as Ling Zhenfei finished speaking, Xu Yuyu and Li Yuetong were both extremely shocked. They certainly understood what Ling Zhenfei meant, and as celebrities, revealing such matters to outsiders was a major taboo.

Who would have thought that Ling Zhenfei's treatment was so strange, making it so embarrassing. As celebrities, how could they do such a thing?

"It's really not great to do it here, but this matter is urgent, and we can't just not treat it," Xu Yuyu said somewhat conflictedly.

"Think it over first, and call me when you've made up your mind. I'll still be in Capital City for another two to three days," Ling Zhenfei said after estimating his schedule.

Xu Yuyu nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

The three of them finished their meal, and after discussing it, they decided to leave. Xu Yuyu's car was parked underground, so they directly headed downstairs to drive away.

Ling Zhenfei didn't have a car and had to go out to hail a cab, but just as he was about to do so, Li Yuetong's car stopped next to him.

"Mr. Ling, let me give you a ride,"

"Is your car really on the way? If it is, you can give me a ride, but if it's not, never mind," Ling Zhenfei didn't want to trouble Li Yuetong.

"It's no trouble. I'm going your way, and it will save you a lot of walking. Come on, get in," Li Yuetong said warmly.

Unable to resist Li Yuetong's repeated urging, Ling Zhenfei finally got into Li Yuetong's car, and the car drove forward.

"Thank you so much for helping Sister Xu," Li Yuetong said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Since I said I would take care of it, I definitely will," Ling Zhenfei said.

Li Yuetong gratefully said, "Then I owe you one. If you ever need any help in the future, I'll definitely be there."

Ling Zhenfei was taken aback. How good was the relationship between Li Yuetong and Xu Yuyu for her to consider this her own matter?

However, this was a great condition to have. Li Yuetong was the Goddess of nerds, a child star and Queen of art films, with a huge fan base spanning many age groups. If he needed her help in the future, it would definitely come in handy.

"Let's make that a deal then. I'll definitely call on you for help in the future."

"Absolutely," Xu Yuyu was actually very pleased.

The car continued for a while and then stopped. The driver in front said to Li Yuetong, "Miss, shall we turn here to drop Mr. Ling at the entrance, or should we stop here?"

To get to Sima Yang's house, they had to turn off the main road onto Sima Yang's private road, which is why the driver asked.

This route wasn't particularly close to Sima Yang's house, but it wasn't very far either, creating an awkward situation.

"We should drop him at the entrance, of course," Li Yuetong said firmly.

Ling Zhenfei quickly waved his hand and said, "No need, I can get off here. You are a big star, and it wouldn't be good to be seen. Besides, it's just a short walk, and it'll do me good."

"How could that be okay? I should still take you there." Li Yuetong said with an apologetic face.

"Don't feel bad, you better go back quickly, it's getting late." Ling Zhenfei spoke as he opened the car door and walked out.

Li Yuetong made a phone call gesture in the car, then the car continued to drive towards the distance.

Ling Zhenfei indeed found Li Yuetong rather interesting, a lotus rising unblemished from the muddy entertainment circle, unlike other celebrities.

Ling Zhenfei walked alone towards the Sima Family's residence. The road was a private driveway of Sima Yang's Family, and in fact, his house was still a distance away. Both sides of the road were very well-lit with streetlights.

What Ling Zhenfei did not anticipate was, as he turned a corner, several streetlights at the corner were out, revealing a segment of dark road surface.

Ling Zhenfei didn't think much of it, as it was common for some streetlights to be damaged.

Ling Zhenfei walked briskly past, but just as he reached the darkened road surface, he suddenly paused because after stepping into it, he found it was extremely dark.

He didn't know if it was because he had just walked from light into darkness, but everything in front of him was pitch-black. He couldn't even see the streetlights not far ahead, as if he had entered a dark vacuum zone.

Ling Zhenfei was puzzled and did not understand the reason for this, but then he suddenly saw something move in the darkness ahead, and a gust of cold air shot towards his chest.

Ling Zhenfei was startled. He truly had not expected to be suddenly attacked in such a place.

The movement coming towards his chest was extremely fast and even somewhat frightening. The thing closed in from the darkness, very close to him, making it hard to dodge.

Ling Zhenfei used his fastest speed to dodge, but the object still grazed past his chest, and in front of Ling Zhenfei's eyes, he could clearly see it was a crossbow arrow.

The three-edged crossbow arrow made a cut across Ling Zhenfei's chest. Although it was just a cut, Ling Zhenfei sensed trouble—the arrow was poisoned.

The poison was potent, infiltrating his body through the skin. Fortunately, Ling Zhenfei realized it in time. He slightly circulated the Northern Spiritual Energy within him, making a complete circulation from the Dantian, and immediately forced the poisoned blood out of the wound.

However, expelling the poisoned blood was not so simple. Continuing to cleanse the poison became impossible. At that moment, Ling Zhenfei felt three cold winds break the night and rush towards him.

Ling Zhenfei was shocked; the three streams of cold wind approached with immense speed, as if the three attackers were right beside him, yet he could not feel anyone's presence around him.

Although he was shocked, he didn't forget to dodge the three assaults aiming at him from top, middle, and bottom, clearly well-coordinated.

Ling Zhenfei dared not be careless. He pulled out the Dragon Tooth Dagger from the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow and brandished it, blocking two of the attacks. He then easily dodged the remaining one.

After Ling Zhenfei blocked the attack, it did not continue but disappeared directly into the darkness.

The surrounding night was extremely dark, to the extent that he could not see his hand in front of his face. There were at least three people attacking him just now, but in a blink of an eye, they were gone, and without a sound at all—it was eerily strange.

Ling Zhenfei's eyes, once a source of pride that could perceive things in darkness, betrayed him today. He truly could not penetrate the darkness before him, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Ling Zhenfei had heard of the legend of ghost hitting the wall, but had never encountered it. It is said that when encountering a ghost hitting the wall, one sees nothing but darkness, unable to discern directions, leading to confusion. Could it be that he was experiencing it now?

Thinking this over, Ling Zhenfei suddenly snapped to attention. Something was wrong with this situation. With that thought, he quickly looked up towards the sky.
