Chapter 1776 1777: Waiting for That Person
Ling Zhenfei was quite surprised by Watanabe Hideaki's appearance in the middle of the night.
It was already the dead of night, and in a few more hours, the East would likely see daylight.
This unexpected appearance truly astonished Ling Zhenfei.
Not only Ling Zhenfei was surprised, but also Watanabe Goryu, who had been sitting in the pavilion from before.
Ever since Watanabe Hideaki appeared, Watanabe Goryu's eyes have not left her.
At this moment, Watanabe Hideaki also noticed Watanabe Goryu, with a hint of surprise on her face, evidently not expecting to see Watanabe Goryu there.
"Hideaki, my sister, I really didn't expect to meet you here so late."
Watanabe Hideaki walked two steps towards the edge of the pavilion, then expressionlessly asked.
"What are you doing here?"
Watanabe Goryu said, "Don't you know about the big incident at Watanabe Manor tonight?"
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "What does that have to do with me? Besides, no matter who breaks in, shouldn't you be out there searching everywhere? Sitting here alone, doing what?"
Watanabe Goryu said, "I'm here waiting for that person's appearance."
Watanabe Hideaki asked, "How do you know he will appear here?"
Watanabe Goryu said, "I don't know either, but it's kind of a premonition. However, instead of that person, I meet you. Since you're not here for that person, what brings you here so late?"
Watanabe Hideaki said, "This is my home. I come and go as I please. Why do you need to bother with me?"
The two continued talking, and it seemed that Watanabe Hideaki was not very fond of Watanabe Goryu.
Watanabe Goryu laughed, "I can't control you, Hideaki. I've been cultivating in the Sect for many years, but I still know a little about the family's matters. I heard that the man you were engaged to, Kai Masao, died some time ago.
At that time, I was worried for you, but fortunately, you hadn't married yet. Otherwise, it would have been really tragic. So, how is it now? Has the murderer been brought to justice yet?"
Watanabe Hideaki looked at Watanabe Goryu and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. What about you? You've achieved mastery in your cultivation. Isn't your Sect supposed to be a secluded clan?
The people in your Sect are supposed to be indifferent to worldly matters, yet here you are helping with a fight. I used to think you had really advanced, but now I see you're still the same as before."
Watanabe Goryu smiled slightly and said, "My return isn't about helping with fights; it was just a coincidence. You know I'm about to leave.
The main reason for my visit is to see the family and, since I'll soon be going to Foreign Land Space, it was necessary to visit home."
Watanabe Hideaki was slightly surprised, "You're going to Foreign Land Space?"
"Yes, I've reached a bottleneck in my cultivation and perhaps going to Foreign Land Space is the best method for furthering my cultivation. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to advance."
Ling Zhenfei was stunned after hearing this. Could it be that Watanabe Goryu has also reached the state of Dawen Peak?
Reaching Dawen Peak's level, breaking through bottlenecks on one's own is indeed very difficult, but Ling Zhenfei was truly unprepared to encounter someone with Dawen Peak's strength here.
No wonder Watanabe Goryu could detect his presence; it turns out his strength was not at all inferior to his own.
Luckily, Ling Zhenfei did not attempt an attack earlier. If he had, a single strike would have been impossible to succeed. Perhaps as soon as his Northern Spiritual Energy moved, Watanabe Goryu would have detected it.
At this moment, Watanabe Goryu spoke to Watanabe Hideaki, "Aren't we childhood friends? It seems you always have some misunderstanding about me."
Watanabe Hideaki laughed, "Who is childhood friends with you? Do you even know what this term describes? At most, I just knew you since childhood."
Watanabe Goryu's expression wasn't too good; he always wanted to converse with Watanabe Hideaki, but her attitude was never warm.
"Then what are you doing here at night? That person is still within our manor, so this place is very dangerous for you."
Watanabe Hideaki looked at the water in front of her and said, "Actually, whenever I can't sleep, I come here for a look, especially tonight; how could I possibly sleep?"
Watanabe Goryu said, "I know Kai Masao's death upset you a lot, but you shouldn't be so sad. You hadn't married yet, so there shouldn't have been that many feelings."
Watanabe Hideaki laughed after hearing this, "You think I'm upset about Kai Masao's death? You flatter Kai Masao too much. A man like that, less skilled than others, it's good that he's dead."
Watanabe Goryu was taken aback, "Then what are you upset about?"
Watanabe Hideaki was about to speak but, recalling something, she held back her words and instead asked Watanabe Goryu, "You're at an age to marry, aren't you?"
Watanabe Goryu said, "We cultivators don't talk about age, so I've never thought about marriage."
Watanabe Hideaki asked, "Then you must have someone in your heart, right?"
Watanabe Goryu's tone changed, "I'm devoted to cultivation, leaving no room for a sweetheart. But there are indeed many senior and junior sisters in the sect who secretly admire me, though I'm not interested."
Watanabe Hideaki laughed, "It seems you don't understand what love is, then there's no point in discussing this with you."
Watanabe Goryu exclaimed a bit excitedly, "Who says I don't understand love? Over the years, there's been a girl I've loved in my heart. One reason I'm so devoted to cultivation is so I don't think of her often.
The other reason is that in this world, only powerful strength is fundamental. Only if my strength is strong enough can I have a chance to win her."
Watanabe Hideaki said, "So that's how it is. I really wonder which girl has such a charm. I wish you success soon."
After saying this, Watanabe Hideaki was about to leave, but was stopped by Watanabe Goryu.
"Don't you want to know who that person is?"
Watanabe Hideaki said, "Don't you want to keep your secret?"
Watanabe Goryu said, "Today I'm quite willing to share this secret with you."
Watanabe Hideaki replied, "There's no danger in knowing this secret, is there?"
Watanabe Goryu responded, "You're worrying too much. Naturally, there are only benefits, no drawbacks."
Watanabe Hideaki said, "Then that's not bad."
Watanabe Goryu looked at Watanabe Hideaki and smiled slightly, then said, "Did you know that, originally, in the family, I'm your elder, but I've always insisted that we be considered siblings. Do you know why?"
Watanabe Hideaki said, "You're afraid I'll call you old, right."
Watanabe Goryu said, "Of course not. It's because the person I've liked since childhood is you. I've been working hard to bring our relationship closer."
Ling Zhenfei was a bit dumbfounded after hearing this. He really didn't expect that Watanabe Hideaki would be so well-liked, even being the dream girl of Watanabe Goryu.
