Ling Zhenfei was stunned after listening: "Ten years, you've been deviating in cultivation for ten years. How did you suppress this deviation? Being able to suppress it for ten years is quite impressive."

Watanabe Nagayumi said from the side: "My elders were also very powerful masters before; suppressing the deviation was easy for them."

Ling Zhenfei was unconvinced; no matter how powerful a master is, once they deviate in cultivation, there's nothing good to suppress. It seems Watanabe Nagayumi doesn't want to tell him everything he knows.

Ling Zhenfei didn't pay much attention, thinking that during the diligent treatment, he should be able to understand everything.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said: "Since that's the case, let's start the treatment. Actually, my treatment is quite simple. The first step is to use acupuncture to release the three toxins in Mr. Watanabe's body, then neutralize the Northern Spiritual Energy within."

"If these two steps are well executed, then this treatment is more than half successful, and then we can think of ways to treat the deviation in cultivation. But there's one thing I need to make clear to you."

"What's that?" Watanabe Nagayumi asked.

Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm a doctor; I can treat the poison on Mr. Watanabe, even the toxins that have deeply rooted in the marrow. But deviation in cultivation is not within the scope of traditional Chinese medicine."

"Don't worry, Mr. Ling, I know you can do it," Watanabe said.

Ling Zhenfei said, "To treat this type of illness, you should find a few Inner Family masters, those with a high Spiritual Energy Cultivation level, and simultaneously use magic skills to realign the meridians affected by the deviation, dissipating the runaway Northern Spiritual Energy."

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Mr. Ling, I know you can treat this. We've tried the method you mentioned, but it doesn't work, so please help us. If setting up properly for deviation doesn't work, what's the use?"

Ling Zhenfei felt a little unwilling, as this seemed to be forcing him to do something. He really didn't want Watanabe Kazushi to treat the deviation in cultivation because it would consume too much Northern Spiritual Energy.

Watanabe Nagayumi said, "How about this, we treat the first part you mentioned first, and then we discuss the latter part, okay?"

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "Alright, then let's do it that way. It certainly won't be treated today. I'll write a prescription for you to get the medicine and brew it for Mr. Watanabe to drink."

Ling Zhenfei wrote a prescription for Watanabe Nagayumi and asked him to brew medicine according to it, with the treatment scheduled for tomorrow.

After everything was agreed upon, Ling Zhenfei was taken by Watanabe Nagayumi to the house that belonged to him.

"Mr. Ling, this is your house, and no one will disturb you nearby. You can rest here tonight."

Ling Zhenfei looked around; indeed, the surroundings were nice. It was located by a small lake, not very big, and you could see the opposite side at a glance. The lake surface had frozen, but the scenery was still good.

Trees were planted abundantly around the lake, most of them being plum trees. At this moment, the plum trees were blooming well, with patches of red and pink, looking very beautiful. This place made Ling Zhenfei quite satisfied.

You have to admit that although Japanese people have some shortcomings, there are aspects worth learning from, such as the ambiance, which made Ling Zhenfei feel deeply moved.

"Nice place, it seems Mr. Watanabe really put effort into this. I just wonder where the girl who came with me is staying?" Ling Zhenfei was still thinking about Xia Shan; if there was a chance, he would let Xia Shan leave first.

He knew that Xia Shan wasn't in danger right now because Watanabe Nagayumi needed Ling Zhenfei to help with the treatment, so he was trying to curry favor with Ling Zhenfei and wouldn't turn against him, making Ling Zhenfei quite safe.

"Don't worry, Mr. Ling, I've already arranged for Miss Xia to stay in the room across from yours." As he spoke, Watanabe Nagayumi pointed to the opposite side of the lake.

Indeed, amidst the plum trees, there was a house where Xia Shan was staying.

At this moment, Watanabe Nagayumi said, "Mr. Ling, you take a good rest; I'll invite you over this evening."

"Alright, thank you."

After Watanabe Nagayumi left, Ling Zhenfei sat on the bed a bit dazed, because there were too many things on his mind, and the patient Watanabe told him about in China was completely different.

Watanabe Kazushi's illness was incredibly strange, hiding many secrets on him.

This person was simply too strange, even making Ling Zhenfei feel like he carried an evil aura.

A person deviating in cultivation could be suppressed for ten years? That's too remarkable. How was this achieved? Ling Zhenfei couldn't even imagine.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei heard a knock on the door, opened it, and saw Xia Shan standing outside, a plum flower in her hair and holding another plum branch.

"Hello, Mr. Ling, the scenery here is so beautiful; don't you want to go for a walk?"

Ling Zhenfei looked at Xia Shan and said, "You really have a broad heart; no matter where you are, you can enjoy yourself."

Seeing a vase in Ling Zhenfei's room, Xia Shan placed the plum flower she held into it.

"How about it, isn't it beautiful?" Xia Shan was very happy, but Ling Zhenfei wasn't in the mood, still a bit worried.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei lack enthusiasm, Xia Shan didn't say anything more, sitting on the sofa and playing with her phone.

"Oh no, what's this?"

Looking at her phone, Xia Shan suddenly exclaimed.

"What's wrong?" Ling Zhenfei asked; Xia Shan's sudden shout scared him, his thoughts scattered.

Xia Shan brought her phone to Ling Zhenfei and said, "I previously posted our photo online, saying you've forgiven me, but unexpectedly, netizens are still unhappy."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I've told you this isn't something easy, but you didn't believe me. Now do you believe it? Netizens aren't easily fooled; when a wall collapses, everyone pushes."

"What do you mean?" Xia Shan asked.

"You've been in the entertainment industry for so long, don't you know? Haven't you figured out the netizens' character?" Ling Zhenfei smiled and said.

Xia Shan said, "Then I want to hear your insight."

Ling Zhenfei said, "The world is never short of people who love watching the excitement; all ethnic groups are alike. There's also never a shortage of those who kick others when they are down and when a wall collapses, everyone pushes.

You were too successful previously, too smoothly successful, always without scandals, always without setbacks; this in itself is a mistake.

There's an old saying, that a poor man's child heads the house early; do you know why? Because a poor man's child has endured all kinds of hardships since childhood, it becomes normal.

On the contrary, people like you who have too smooth lives, can't withstand even a bit of adversity. That's why depression is very common among people in the entertainment industry, and even suicides."
