Chapter 34

"I didn't expect Sakura Valley to actually send you!"

Zhang Guoqiang stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the kimono-clad woman before him.

"Hehe, if Mr. Zhang has no other business, I will take these two away first!"

The kimono-clad woman covered her mouth and smiled, then prepared to take Li Zhongshuo and Lin Chen away.

At this moment, Xiaodie suddenly stepped forward, the silver needles in her hand flashing with cold light, her tone icy: "Want to take them away? Have you asked me?"

The kimono-clad woman smiled lightly, her paper umbrella tilting slightly to cover half her face: "Little girl, if I want to take them away, you cannot stop me!"

Xiaodie let out a cold snort, and the silver needles in her hand flew out like a cold, icy gleam in the blink of an eye!

However, the kimono-clad woman only waved her paper umbrella lightly, and a few cherry blossom petals drifted down with the wind; the silver needles actually stalled in mid-air for an instant before falling powerlessly to the ground.

"Small tricks!"

Seeing her silver needles were ineffective, Xiaodie's expression changed slightly. She quickly closed in on the kimono-clad woman, the silver needles in her hand condensing once more!

The kimono-clad woman shook her head slightly, her paper umbrella spinning lightly, and a few cherry blossom petals flew toward Xiaodie like sharp blades!

Xiaodie dodged quickly, but a shallow bloodstain was still scratched onto her arm.

"Little girl, why ask for trouble?"

The kimono-clad woman's voice remained soft, but her tone carried a hint of warning.

Xiaodie did not answer, but accelerated her offensive.

Her silver needles poured out like a rainstorm, every needle aimed directly at the kimono-clad woman's vital points.

However, the kimono-clad woman's movement technique was too eerie, and she was able to dodge at the most critical moment every single time.

As the number of wounds increased, Xiaodie's offensive gradually slowed, and fine beads of sweat seeped out on her forehead.

The kimono-clad woman, however, remained composed, as if she were merely toying with Xiaodie.

"Little girl, your strength is not bad, but it is not enough to contend with me!"

The kimono-clad woman smiled lightly, her paper umbrella suddenly spinning, and a powerful force erupted from the tip of the umbrella, striking Xiaodie directly in the chest.

Xiaodie had no time to dodge and was struck by this force, flying backward like a kite with a broken string, falling heavily to the ground!

"How could this be!"

Xiaodie's face was pale, and a trace of fresh blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

She gritted her teeth, wanting to stand up, but her body trembled uncontrollably.

The kimono-clad woman put away her paper umbrella and looked at Xiaodie coldly: "Little girl, this time is just a lesson for you. If you dare to block me again next time, it won't be this simple."

After speaking, she waved her paper umbrella lightly, and the bodies of Li Zhongshuo and Lin Chen actually floated up out of thin air, as if supported by an invisible force.

Immediately after, the kimono-clad woman's figure gradually blurred, turning into cherry blossoms that dissipated in the air with the wind.

Li Zhongshuo and Lin Chen also disappeared along with her, as if they had never appeared.

The villa was silent, and everyone was so shocked by this scene that they were speechless.

Ye Feng's eyes were filled with shock, and he muttered in a low voice: "This... what kind of method is this?"

Zhang Guoqiang's expression became extremely grave, and he said in a low voice: "People from Sakura Valley... they truly live up to their reputation."

Xiaodie managed to stand up with the support of Ye Feng and Gu Ran. Her face remained pale, but her eyes were filled with unwillingness: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I couldn't stop her!"

Zhang Guoqiang shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of comfort: "You have already done your best. The strength of Sakura Valley is unfathomable; even I might not be her match."

Gu Ran's face was also somewhat pale, and she asked in a low voice: "Mr. Zhang, what exactly is the background of Sakura Valley? Why are even you so wary of them?"

Zhang Guoqiang sighed, his tone carrying a hint of heaviness: "Sakura Valley is the most mysterious ninja organization in the Sakura Country. Their ninjutsu has already surpassed the scope of what ordinary people can understand!"

Ye Feng's brows were tightly locked, and he felt a faint sense of unease in his heart: "Mr. Zhang, what should we do now?"

Zhang Guoqiang patted Ye Feng on the shoulder and comforted him: "Don't worry, my Medical Sect is not made of paper either. In the short term, they shouldn't come to trouble you again!"

"However, you need to improve your own strength as soon as possible. Only strength is the hard truth!"

"It seems I must work hard to cultivate the 'Xuantian Sacred Scripture'!"

Ye Feng clenched his fists and thought to himself.

After today's events, his worldview had completely collapsed!

Things that he could originally only see in novels had actually happened right before his eyes today!

"Alright, since the matter is resolved, you should go back and get some rest!"

Zhang Guoqiang looked into the distance, then waved his hand and walked back to the villa on his own.

Subsequently, Ye Feng and Gu Ran returned home under the escort of Xie Junhao.

After returning home, Ye Feng went straight back to his room. As soon as he pushed the door open, he was stunned.

Only to see that the floor of the room was covered with pink cherry blossom petals, and a faint scent of cherry blossoms permeated the air.

And on his bed, there was actually a woman wearing a pale pink kimono lying there!

Ye Feng's heart tightened suddenly, and he subconsciously took a step back, asking vigilantly: "Who are you, and why are you here?"

The kimono-clad woman slowly opened her eyes and looked at Ye Feng: "Mr. Ye Feng, no need to be nervous. I am Sakurai Chixue from Sakura Valley. I came here this time because I want to have a talk with you."

Ye Feng's brows were tightly locked, his tone carrying a hint of wariness: "Sakura Valley, why are you looking for me?"

Sakurai Chixue sat up slowly, the paper umbrella spinning lightly in her hand, and a few cherry blossoms drifted down as a result: "Mr. Ye Feng, I am very interested in your Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles!"

Hearing the words "Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles," Ye Feng's heart shook, and his expression instantly became grave: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Sakurai Chixue stood up lightly, the paper umbrella in her hand as elegant as a work of art: "Mr. Ye Feng, the secret of the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles is far more complex than you imagine, and I can help you unlock these secrets!"

Ye Feng's brows furrowed even tighter, his tone carrying a hint of suspicion: "Why do you want to help me? We are total strangers; what gives you the right to make me believe you?"

Sakurai Chixue smiled lightly, her paper umbrella tilting slightly to cover half her face: "Mr. Ye Feng, whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"However, I can tell you one thing: your father was once the most outstanding disciple of the Ghost Doctor Sect, and his Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles were unmatched by anyone!"

Ye Feng's heart trembled violently, his voice somewhat shaky: "My father was a member of the Ghost Doctor Sect?"

Sakurai Chixue nodded, her tone carrying a hint of deep meaning: "The Ye Zhentang you know is merely a facade created to protect you all!"

"If you want to know more, you are welcome to come to Sakura Valley to find me!"

After speaking, her figure gradually blurred, turning into cherry blossoms that dissipated in the air with the wind.

The cherry blossom petals in the room also disappeared along with her, as if they had never appeared.

Ye Feng stood where he was, a stormy sea surging in his heart!
