Urban Romantic Divine Doctor

Chapter 676: Chapter 675: The Scheme of Alienation

”The call came from Jingbian Yudai,” Pingliang Xiangzhi’s face looked very grim.

Because she knew.

Jingbian Yudai certainly found out about the danger she encountered.

If that was the case,

He was very likely to deduce that her return to Toyama Prefecture was intended to deliberately lure out the mole within the Yamato Kendo Hall.

He was very likely aware she already suspected him.

But she hadn’t yet prepared to confront him.

So,

She didn’t know if she should take this call.

Xu Wendong smiled and said, ”Take it, see what he says, and by the way, truthfully tell him what happened today.”

Pingliang Xiangzhi let out a soft ”hmm” and then answered the call.

”Miss Kaori, the Toyama Prefecture Police contacted me just now. They said you were attacked in Toyama Prefecture? Where are you now? Do you need me to send someone to protect you?” Jingbian Yudai’s slightly anxious voice came through the phone.

Pingliang Xiangzhi calmly replied, ”I’m fine, don’t worry. What happened today might be a misunderstanding.”

Jingbian Yudai hesitated and couldn’t help but say, ”Miss Kaori, I know what I’m about to say will upset you, but for the sake of your safety, I suggest you stay away from Yanagida Ryo.”

”I don’t deny he saved your life before, but have you seriously thought about it, Miss Kaori?”

”Why did danger only appear after Yanagida Ryo showed up?”

Hearing this,

A surge of anger rose in Pingliang Xiangzhi’s heart: ”Lord Jingbian, what do you mean by this? Are you suggesting that Mr. Yanagida wants to harm me?”

Xu Wendong was also taken aback by Jingbian Yudai, never imagining that this person from Wa Country understood the Art of War’s stratagem of sowing discord and intended to drive a wedge between him and Pingliang Xiangzhi.

”I just feel it’s all too coincidental,” Jingbian Yudai said: ”Before he showed up, you went out without encountering any danger, but once he appeared, no matter where you went, you’d run into trouble. Don’t you find it suspicious?”

Pingliang Xiangzhi snorted coldly, ”I don’t deny that I encountered danger twice with Mr. Yanagida, but both times we turned misfortune into fortune.”

”And one more thing.”

”If Mr. Yanagida wanted to kill me, he could have done it without anyone knowing. So why hasn’t he made a move?”

Jingbian Yudai said in a low voice, ”He might be deliberately getting close to you, wanting to win your favor.”

Pingliang Xiangzhi asked irritably, ”And then?”

Jingbian Yudai was at a loss for words.

Although Pingliang Xiangzhi was the master’s daughter, she held no real power in the Martial Arts Hall. Even if marrying her meant becoming Yano Yamato’s son-in-law, it was just a slightly elevated status.

There were not many other benefits aside from that.

”Lord Jingbian, I won’t allow you to question my savior. If you truly want to find the culprit, be more serious about it!” Pingliang Xiangzhi decisively hung up the phone.

------

After eating.

Pingliang Xiangzhi paid the bill, and after bidding farewell to the owner of the ramen shop, she personally drove towards a spot known only to locals.

There weren’t many cherry blossom trees there, but it was very suitable for photography.

Most importantly,

The visitors here were all couples.

The pink cherry blossoms bloomed on the branches, painting the world in pink, and petals occasionally drifted from the trees, making the scenery breathtakingly beautiful.

Especially with the fragrance of flowers lingering in the air, it sparked a mysterious flutter in the heart.

Xu Wendong waited by the car for about ten minutes.

Then,

Pingliang Xiangzhi, wearing a pink kimono with a hint of shyness, pushed the car door open and stepped out. This was a kimono she had bought at a clothing store earlier to take some beautiful photos as mementos.

”Mr. Yanagida, let me help you dress!” Pingliang Xiangzhi, blushing, took out a black men’s kimono from the car, and like a thoughtful wife, helped Xu Wendong put it on.

Xu Wendong disliked wearing clothes from Wa Country.

And he didn’t want to wear them.

Because in his view, doing so was a desecration of his blood as a descendant of Yan and Huang.

But looking at Pingliang Xiangzhi’s expectant eyes, he couldn’t refuse.

After all,

This was a woman who, even at the brink of death, would plead for her enemy to spare his life!

”Ancestor Master of the Three Purities, everything I do in Wa Country is to exact revenge on these little devils. Sometimes, I might do things against my will. If there’s any offense, I hope you can forgive me!”

He made a prior report to the Three Purities.

Only then did he comfortably change into the Wa Country kimono.

He wasn’t used to wearing such clothing.

But.

Even when he donned the kimono, he still exuded an imposing aura, with a bearing like jade standing in the wind.

This left Pingliang Xiangzhi utterly spellbound.

The scene before her seemed familiar.

Because this was precisely the image of the prince she fantasized about.

The difference was,

Xu Wendong was even more elegant, handsome, and charming than the prince in her heart.

Not only did Pingliang Xiangzhi become smitten, but the other onlookers were also filled with envy and jealousy, not believing that such a handsome man existed in this world.

Since this was a holy spot for photos, there were many professional photographers here who could help visitors capture stunning pictures.

Pingliang Xiangzhi also found a professional photographer to help with the photos.

Xu Wendong loathed taking pictures.

Let alone taking photos with Pingliang Xiangzhi.

But every time he wanted to refuse, he saw the woman’s expectant eyes, eyes as gentle as a soft knife silently stabbing into his heart.

Giving him no reason to refuse, he unwillingly cooperated with her.

Unlike other couples,

Even when taking photos, they maintained a distance, showing no overly intimate gestures.

Although Pingliang Xiangzhi felt a bit disappointed by this,

Upon seeing the pictures, she revealed a radiant smile.

The images of them, although not like lovers,

Certainly did not resemble mere friends.

Especially with Xu Wendong showing a bemused yet helpless expression, the photos gained a quirky humor. His expression seemed like that of a husband lovingly yet reluctantly granting a wife’s whimsical request.

The pictures gave off a sense of ”more than friends, less than lovers.”

After finishing the photo session, the sun was nearly setting.

The golden sunset shining on the pink cherry blossom trees made the already stunning scenery even more breathtaking.

The two changed back into their previous clothes in the car.

After taking off the kimono, Xu Wendong felt much more at ease and cooler, as wearing the kimono was too troublesome.

Afterwards, they laughed and talked as they headed to the distant restroom.

Not having used the restroom the whole afternoon, even Xu Wendong felt like his bladder was about to burst and had to ”open the floodgates.”

Entering the restroom, Xu Wendong unzipped and made no effort to hold back as he relieved himself, the sound of flowing water reflecting his ”turbocharged” prowess.

And just at that moment,

His expression changed sharply as a strong killing intent emanated from the adjacent stall.

”Not good, Kaori is in danger!”
