Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, naturally realizing the Watanabe Family's power. It's possible that he had been watched since getting off the plane, but those watching had simply not revealed themselves.

"I feel it's better to stay here. It's more peaceful, and I have Chinese friends with whom I can chat."

Watanabe No said, "You must be talking about that girl. She has already agreed to accompany you as a guest at our home."

Ling Zhenfei was surprised. Xia Shan was not very cautious, having just met for such a short time. How could she agree to someone's invitation so quickly, not knowing who they are?

Sure enough, Xia Shan was seen walking over, with two people following her. She approached Ling Zhenfei's door and said, "Aren't we going to Watanabe Manor? Why aren't we leaving?"

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit angry. Xia Shan was taking herself too seriously, agreeing to things without knowing the details.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's expression, Xia Shan said, "What's wrong? You want to go to Watanabe Manor, don't you? You have no idea how rare it is. I've been there twice and wasn't allowed in. This time they invited us. Isn't it great?"

Ling Zhenfei felt a little worried. If something unexpected happens at the Watanabe Family's house, should he involve himself with Xia Shan's matters?

It seemed best to find a way for Xia Shan to leave early. Otherwise, it would be hard to manage.

Ling Zhenfei said to Xia Shan, "Isn't it nice staying at the hotel? Why bother others?"

Watanabe No said, "It's no trouble. Having guests stay in a hotel would be a great insult to the Watanabe Family."

Ling Zhenfei smiled and said, "Is it that serious?"

Watanabe No replied, "Of course. The Watanabe Family is the premier family here, and we highly value our dignity."

Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei had no rebuttals and could only follow Watanabe No out the door.

Ling Zhenfei and Xia Shan walked together, not having to carry their luggage. Xia Shan seemed unaware of anything happening and was simply very happy, which left Ling Zhenfei speechless.

Xia Shan was an ordinary person, completely unaware of the dangers lurking in the world, or of the unimaginable threats that existed.

Ling Zhenfei didn't want to say much and chose to take it one step at a time. If he couldn't even ensure his own safety, who would care about Xia Shan's security?

Outside, a car was indeed waiting. Ling Zhenfei got into Watanabe No's car, with people leading the way ahead. Thus, they drove off into the distance.

Xia Shan, unaware of what was happening, was very excited, chatting with Watanabe No as if it were a travel trip.

Meanwhile, Ling Zhenfei silently gazed at the scenery outside, contemplating how to ensure safety. Once at the Watanabe Family's, it would be like a sheep entering a lion's den. Who would care if you were a Divine Doctor?

As they drove on, the vehicle suddenly stopped, and two people got out from the car ahead, unclear about the situation.

At that moment, one of them ran over to Watanabe No and whispered something, prompting Watanabe No to get out of the car, visibly angry.

Ling Zhenfei, unsure of the situation, quickly extended his Divine Sense to cover the area, instantly grasping the events unfolding ahead.

But then Xia Shan unexpectedly opened the door and got out, seemingly someone who liked to join in the excitement, leaving Ling Zhenfei no choice but to follow her.

They reached the front of the convoy and finally understood what was happening: the Watanabe No's convoy had been stopped by people dressed in ninja attire.

Ling Zhenfei smirked slightly. How interesting, witnessing such a scene upon arriving in Japan. There was no doubt that the opposing side was here to cause trouble.

Watanabe Nagayumi then walked over to those people and began speaking to them.

Since both sides were speaking Japanese, Ling Zhenfei couldn't understand what was being said, but Xia Shan could.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei's confusion, Xia Shan explained that the opposing group was from the Ittō-ryū, a faction specializing in Iaido.

Japanese ninjas have many factions. Iga-ryu specializes in invisibility, Ittō-ryū specializes in Iaido, and Senkei-ryū focuses on poisons and hidden weapons, among others.

The Ittō-ryū now blocking Watanabe's path clearly had something to discuss. The Watanabe Family belongs to the Iga-ryu, and they have longstanding conflicts with the Ittō-ryū. Today's conflict is unknown.

Xia Shan continued to explain: the Ittō-ryū wanted the Iga-ryu to take a different route, which the Iga-ryu disagreed with, hence the argument.

Ling Zhenfei felt quite frustrated, wondering what was wrong with these Japanese people, always so quick to anger.

Then, events took a sudden turn as Watanabe Nagayumi began fighting with the person he was speaking to.

Ling Zhenfei was also surprised. What kind of situation was this, turning into a fight so suddenly?

Both sides were skilled; Watanabe No was Watanabe Nagayumi's child and not lacking in strength, but the opponent wasn't a fool either, leading to an evenly matched fight.

Fortunately, neither used bladed weapons, or it would have certainly resulted in a bloody battle.

Ling Zhenfei asked Xia Shan, "What's happening? Why did they start fighting so suddenly?"

Watanabe Nagayumi replied, "Their families probably have deep-seated grievances, so they immediately resorted to fighting without much talking. I don't know what happened either."

Ling Zhenfei felt helpless. These Japanese people were too quick-tempered, fighting in the streets like barbarians.

Watanabe Nagayumi's strength was indeed superior. The Ittō-ryū specializes in Iaido, making unarmed combat ineffective against Watanabe No. After more than ten moves, Watanabe No delivered a kick, knocking the opponent to the ground.

Watanabe No seemed very pleased, laughing loudly at the fallen opponent and saying some provocative words. Watanabe No's remarks were clearly excessive, and suddenly a shadow emerged from the crowd.

This figure leaped from the crowd, rushing toward Watanabe No, delivering several rapid strikes mid-air.

Ling Zhenfei was alarmed, clearly seeing that this person's strength was at the mid-stage Zhiyi Realm, moving incredibly fast. Although Watanabe No had some ability, he was utterly vulnerable before this person.

Despite Watanabe No's efforts to dodge, he couldn't last two moves before being sent flying by the assailant's kick. Yet, the attacker had no intention of letting him go.

The assailant threw a white steel bead at Watanabe No, like a bullet from a gun barrel, aiming at Watanabe Nagayumi.

This white steel bead was imbued with Northern Spiritual Energy, traveling extremely fast. If it hit Watanabe No, it's likely his bones would shatter.

Ling Zhenfei calculated the bead's trajectory and realized that if the bead struck Watanabe No, half of his life would be over, creating trouble for himself.
