Chapter 1817 - 1818: A Dramatic Scene
Ling Zhenfei handed his phone to them directly, then, supported by Hoshino Junka and Hoshino Meigetsu, walked off the platform.
Everyone was stunned, not expecting such a dramatic turn of events.
As they walked down from the platform, Great Arbiter Kato Taka approached Ling Zhenfei.
"Excuse me, young friend."
Ling Zhenfei and his companions hurriedly returned the greeting: "Great Arbiter, do you have any instructions?"
The Great Arbiter laughed heartily and said, "I didn't expect to meet such an excellent young man in this duel. There's something I want to discuss with you."
Ling Zhenfei didn't know what the Great Arbiter wanted to say. "Great Arbiter, you're being too polite. Please, speak your mind quickly."
Kato Taka said, "It's actually nothing major. As a young person, I think you'll definitely participate in this trip to the Foreign Land Space. Not only you, but our Ninja Association will also send many young participants.
Although these young people have reached the Dawen Realm in strength, they lack the experience and mentality compared to you. Now that you are the Hoshino Family's son-in-law, you are expected to join the Ninja Association.
I want to say that after you reach the Foreign Land Space, if you encounter members of the Ninja Association in danger or injured, please definitely help them. We will be very grateful."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Once we reach the Foreign Land Space, we will naturally be united. No matter who is in danger, as long as I can, I will surely help."
Kato Taka smiled with great relief, "With Mr. Ling's words, I thank you on behalf of the Ninja Association."
After returning the courtesy, Ling Zhenfei left, supported by Hoshino Meigetsu and Hoshino Haruka.
At this moment, a judge walked up to Kato Taka and asked, "Great Arbiter, why did you have to say such things to that young man? He is also in the Dawen Realm, and once in the Foreign Land, it's uncertain who will help whom."
Kato Taka shook his head and said, "I can feel that this boy is not an ordinary person."
The person looked curiously at Ling Zhenfei's retreating figure and said, "What's so unusual about him? I can't see it."
Kato Taka said, "In his twenties, he's already at the peak of the Dawen Realm, and this realm wasn't simply cultivated but gained through battles. I dare say, among the younger generation, no one can surpass him."
The person stared in surprise at Ling Zhenfei's fading figure. Such a high evaluation from the Great Arbiter was astonishing.
In the Island Nation, there are many cultivation families and Bushido families. Families like these house many powerful cultivators and geniuses, yet this was the first evaluation of its kind.
Indeed, the matter reached a resolution. The Hoshino Family and the Watanabe Family reconciled, but it wasn't that simple. Many people were injured or killed in their battles, making it not an easy reconciliation.
However, since both families' heads have reconciled, naturally there is no enmity among their subordinates.
The news of the Hoshino Family and Watanabe Family's reconciliation quickly spread throughout Bin Qi Wu and the entire Island Nation, and Ling Zhenfei's name began to circulate, making him famous overnight.
At this moment, Ling Zhenfei was not concerned with any of this; he only wished to quickly replenish his depleted Northern Spiritual Energy.
Upon returning to the Hoshino Family, Ling Zhenfei asked Hoshino Junka to find an empty room for him to retreat and cultivate without being disturbed.
After closing the room door, Ling Zhenfei took out the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map.
It had been a long time since he last entered the Peach Blossom Secret Realm. The Guimou People always wanted to reclaim this Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map, but how could Ling Zhenfei hand over such an important thing?
Even during police investigations, Ling Zhenfei only let them take a fake map.
The real Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map had always been with Ling Zhenfei; he didn't trust it with anyone else.
In a flash, Ling Zhenfei was inside the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map, sitting deep within the Peach Blossom Forest.
Everywhere he looked, peach blossoms were in full bloom—pink, red, white—for a truly beautiful sight.
The Peach Blossom Secret Realm was at its most beautiful, and the Peach Flower Fairy was collecting blossoms with a flower basket.
The sudden appearance of Ling Zhenfei startled the Peach Blossom Fairy.
Ling Zhenfei greeted the Peach Blossom Fairy with a slight smile.
The Peach Blossom Fairy's expression didn't change much.
"Do you know how long it's been since you were last here?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "It has indeed been a long time."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I spent every day worried that you were dead. I had decided to forget you, and now you suddenly appear."
Ling Zhenfei chuckled and said, "Have a little faith in me, won't you? I'm not that easy to kill."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Your Northern Spiritual Energy is weak, I assume you're here to recuperate again. It looks like you've made this place your personal healing sanctuary."
Ling Zhenfei said awkwardly, "You can't say it like that. I haven't seen you for a long time, and I came to visit."
The Peach Blossom Fairy sniffed and said, "Do you think I would believe that?"
Ling Zhenfei never imagined the Peach Flower Fairy had such a girlish side.
Ling Zhenfei said, "Fairy, you should be full of confidence. You're a fairy; no man can resist your beauty."
The Peach Blossom Fairy glanced at Ling Zhenfei and said, "Even with the most beautiful things, seeing them too much can become tedious. I know this much."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Then why do I never tire of looking at you? I really wish to watch forever."
The Peach Blossom Fairy's cheeks turned pink, resembling the blossom of a peach flower.
"Hmph, such shameless words; I wonder how you can say them."
After that, the Peach Blossom Fairy hurriedly ran towards her little house with her flower basket.
Ling Zhenfei followed closely; the Peach Blossom Fairy had prepared Peach Blossom Cake for him, offering him a plate.
Ling Zhenfei tasted a piece and had to admit it was truly delicious, making him quite happy.
Just then, a bird's cry suddenly came from afar. The cry wasn't particularly melodious but managed to capture Ling Zhenfei's attention.
Ling Zhenfei looked up to see a massive bird approaching, its wings blotting out the sky. Its feathers were golden yellow, shining brightly in the sunlight.
The wingspan was several meters as it descended in graceful spirals.
Ling Zhenfei immediately recognized it as the Lightning Bird, Xiao Jin.
He was surprised at how much Xiao Jin had grown during his absence.
Ling Zhenfei asked the Peach Blossom Fairy in amazement, "Xiao Jin has grown so big; it's astonishing."
The Peach Blossom Fairy replied helplessly, "It flies here and there, fighting the eagles on the mountain and clashing with sea monsters. It's really become the Little Overlord of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm."
Ling Zhenfei knew Xiao Jin was indeed extraordinary. Last time, it had defeated two eagles on the mountaintop, and now it seemed no one was a match for Xiao Jin.
By this time, Xiao Jin had already landed beside Ling Zhenfei.
