Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1837 1838: Fatal Temptation

"You've already asked a lot of questions," Ling Zhenfei said.

Kudo Nanting replied, "Indeed, so may I proceed?"

"Ask away," Ling Zhenfei responded.

Kudo Nanting said, "You could have healed me without kissing, in a different way. Why did you do it this way? Do I still have a bit of allure?"

Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "You don't just have a bit of allure, you're dangerously seductive."

Kudo Nanting laughed as the plane landed and taxied on the ground.

Kudo Nanting said, "I'll be counting on you soon."

"Let's hope it's within my capability," Ling Zhenfei replied.

The plane was stable, and the flight attendant was organizing passengers to exit the aircraft in order.

Since Kudo Nanting moved from first class to economy, Kudo family members disembarked later after most passengers had deplaned.

Ling Zhenfei and Kudo Nanting walked together. From the moment they disembarked, Ling Zhenfei unleashed his soul.

He didn't use Northern Spiritual Energy, fearing premature detection.

Moreover, there were many cultivators in the Kudo Family, functioning as bodyguards.

However, their strength wasn't very high; someone like Kudo Jiro was only at the Mingmu Realm.

The strongest bodyguard was at the early Zhiyi Boundary, which was fairly capable, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to kill Kudo Nanting.

But if an expert arrives, those intent on targeting Kudo Nanting would've investigated his entourage thoroughly, sending someone much stronger to suppress them.

From the moment they disembarked, Kudo Nanting started making calls and sending messages on his phone, clearly coordinating with some people.

He knew that although nothing changed at present, the Kudo Family was embroiled in a war without gunpowder.

War meant brutality; by tonight, many in the Kudo Family would be ousted, and many others would rise.

If executed well, Kudo Nanting could completely control the Kudo Family; if poorly, Kudo Nanting would be eliminated, with the family falling into others' hands.

Though I don't know who they are, wanting to kill Kudo Nanting for power shows their ruthless ambition.

Given they want to kill Kudo Nanting, anything he does now is understandable.

Since the poison took effect on the plane, it either originated there or before boarding. Regardless of the timing, someone had ulterior motives.

"Nanting, I've arranged the restaurant; let's head there now."

Kudo Yoshimasa, like a seasoned steward, had everything well-organized.

The car awaited outside the airport, with Ling Zhenfei and Kudo Nanting sharing the same vehicle.

As someone from the Kudo Family was hosting them in Sydney, it was meticulously arranged.

"If they're really going to act against you, what method do you think they'll use?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Kudo Nanting replied, "They wanted to silently eliminate me on the plane, but I survived. Knowing I'd suspect them, they'll surely act.

The best approach is to pressure me to step down; they're eager for me to vacate my position."

"Who can you trust, and who can't you?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Kudo Nanting shook his head, saying, "Until the final stages, how can we discern true ally from wolf in sheep's clothing?"

Ling Zhenfei chuckled, his previous thoughts suddenly seeming naive and laughably immature.

"This matter won't take long to clarify; it should soon be resolved," Ling Zhenfei said.

The car stopped at a restaurant entrance, a beautifully appointed Japanese eatery.

"Nanting, let's eat here; the flavor is very good," Kudo Yoshimasa said, opening the car door.

Kudo Nanting nodded and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Let's dine here." She winked at Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei understood.

Since disembarking, Kudo Nanting seemed transformed, losing the girl-like demeanor from the plane, replaced by a mature professional woman's aura, unmatched by anyone.

Ling Zhenfei nodded and followed Kudo Nanting out of the car, heading towards the restaurant.

Japanese restaurants are usually tranquil settings; dining environment is crucial.

As it was late, the restaurant wasn't crowded.

A few tables had diners, speaking softly with their companions.

This is typical of Japanese dining, where even conversations are hushed.

But as Ling Zhenfei entered, he noticed these diners weren't simple; they exuded weak traces of Northern Spiritual Energy.

In Ling Zhenfei's expert eyes, they were cultivators, and fairly skilled ones.

At least two were at the Zhiyi Boundary, evidence of thorough preparations to deal with Kudo Nanting.

Yet Ling Zhenfei feigned ignorance, sitting with Kudo Nanting at a table far from the others.

Other Kudo family members sat elsewhere.

Perhaps pre-arranged, the food quickly arrived.

It was a spread of distinctive Japanese dishes.

Ling Zhenfei and Kudo Nanting sat across from each other, silently observing each other, knowing events would unfold.

But they weren't sure when what should come would arrive.

Ling Zhenfei knew they were already present, within the restaurant, though Kudo Nanting was unaware.

Ling Zhenfei sent his soul to explore the entire restaurant, discovering oddities, notably guards stationed at each entrance.

It was easy to enter but impossible to exit.

Ling Zhenfei contemplated assisting Kudo Nanting, but Kudo Nanting was prepared, though her plan was unknown.

Ling Zhenfei's phone rang; he knew it was someone coming for him.

He stood, planning to answer the call nearby.

Originally intended to answer beside, but Ling Zhenfei had a sudden thought: to test those people.

Ling Zhenfei approached an entrance, seemingly intending to step outside for the call.

But upon reaching the door, someone blocked him.

"What do you mean? Am I not allowed to step out?"

"That's right, you're not allowed out now," the person replied.

"Why can't I step out?" Ling Zhenfei asked.
