As Cheng Xiaofan strolled out of the temple, the car sent by Inoue Masakazu had already arrived and was parked in a square in front of the temple.
The driver had seen a photo of Cheng Xiaofan from Inoue Masakazu. As soon as he appeared, the driver, accompanied by two bodyguards, rushed forward.
"Hello, Mr. Cheng!"
The three bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan in unison.
"Not good!"
Cheng Xiaofan shook his head and said, "I just arrived in Sakura Country and wanted to relax, but your master, that Inoue guy, kept urging me, ruining my mood!"
"Never mind, let's not talk about it. Get in the car!"
Sitting in the car, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Why did everyone in the Blood Demon Sect speak fluent Chinese?
The car sped on, like lightning, towards the headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect.
The headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect was not far from the coast. From the outside, it looked like a typical market town, surrounded by green trees and covered in blooming flowers. Entering the town felt like entering a park.
Walking along the street, one could hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore not far away.
The name of this market town was quite interesting: Gourd Town.
This was because the shape of the houses in the town resembled gourds placed close together.
Within this Gourd Town, there was a sanatorium. It was said that only high-ranking figures from Sakura Country could recuperate here.
In fact, this sanatorium was the headquarters of the Blood Demon Sect.
Most of the residents in the market town had some connection to the Blood Demon Sect.
This sanatorium operated publicly, and besides the big shots within the Blood Demon Sect, those who could stay here were influential local officials.
The car stopped at the main entrance of the sanatorium's courtyard.
As Cheng Xiaofan stepped out of the car, the driver and two bodyguards shouted in unison towards the courtyard: "Mr. Cheng has arrived—"
As soon as they finished speaking, nearly a hundred people rushed out from the courtyard.
They were all dressed in black shirts and black pants, with red bandanas tied around their heads. They lined up in a V-shape and bowed deeply to Cheng Xiaofan, shouting like thunder: "We welcome Mr. Cheng's esteemed presence!"
Cheng Xiaofan's gaze swept over these people, and a playful smile curved his lips.
These were all disciples of the Blood Demon Sect. Although they wore respectful expressions, each and every one of them exuded a strong killing aura.
He merely nodded slightly at them.
His expression clearly showed that he didn't take these people seriously at all.
"Mr. Cheng, you've arrived so quickly!" At this moment, a graceful young woman emerged from the courtyard. It was Matsushita Kudaiji.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Matsushita Kudaiji, you're not slow either!"
Matsushita Kudaiji said, "I arrived at exactly nine o'clock!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "You're fast enough!"
Matsushita Kudaiji smiled, "Mr. Cheng, please follow me!"
Cheng Xiaofan, with a backpack on his back and his hands clasped behind him, followed Matsushita Kudaiji into the large courtyard.
Inside the courtyard, there were villas built of wood and stone, nestled among a lush pine and cypress forest. Walking inside, one encountered walls that created a labyrinth, as if set up in a Bagua formation. Once inside these walls, it was easy to lose one's way.
An ordinary person would lose their sense of direction upon entering.
However, Cheng Xiaofan glanced at the courtyard walls and immediately a mental map appeared in his mind, clearly showing where he had entered and which direction to go.
Furthermore, Cheng Xiaofan could also see that the ingenious design of these labyrinthine courtyard walls, although situated on the ground, had a mystical effect that extended to the sky.
If a bird flew overhead, it would immediately lose its bearings and fall to the ground, never to fly again, destined to perish within.
Many such courtyard walls were erected around the area.
The safety of those recuperating here was absolutely guaranteed.
Beyond the labyrinthine courtyard walls, there was another row of houses nestled within the green trees. These houses were different from the previous ones and clearly had a European architectural style.
Cheng Xiaofan glanced around and noticed that the nearly hundred Blood Demon Sect disciples had not followed. They had all concealed themselves within the surrounding labyrinthine courtyard walls.
It was evident that these people were hiding there, waiting to deal with Cheng Xiaofan.
"Mr. Cheng, please follow me. Mr. Inoue and the others are waiting for your arrival in the white villa ahead!"
Matsushita Kudaiji pointed to a villa directly in front.
Cheng Xiaofan glanced at Matsushita Kudaiji and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you and that Inoue guy often meet here privately, right?"
"Mr. Cheng, this doesn't seem like the appropriate place for such jokes!" Matsushita Kudaiji said, her face flushing red.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan said, "If you can do it, can't I say it?"
"..." For a moment, Matsushita Kudaiji didn't know how to respond.
This fellow surnamed Cheng never considered others' feelings when he was being sarcastic.
He could say whatever he wanted; she would just ignore him!
"However—"
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan sighed again, "Kudaiji, that Inoue guy probably won't be able to be a man for the rest of his life!"
"Ah, how do you know that?" Matsushita Kudaiji blurted out.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Guess!"
"..." Guess what!
How could I possibly guess?
Matsushita Kudaiji finally couldn't help but ask, "I can't guess. Mr. Cheng, can you tell me why?"
"Why should I tell you?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "I'm a person who never wakes up early without a reason. If you give me a hundred billion, I might consider telling you!"
"You..." Matsushita Kudaiji was so angry she almost spat blood on the spot.
As they spoke, the two had already reached the white villa.
There were two guards at the entrance. One of them glanced at Cheng Xiaofan and said to Matsushita Kudaiji, "Miss Chiyo, Mr. Inoue is waiting impatiently. Please go in quickly!"
"Oh, I know!"
Matsushita Kudaiji quickly said to Cheng Xiaofan, "Mr. Cheng, shall we go in quickly?"
Cheng Xiaofan sauntered along, hands behind his back, and said, "That Inoue guy is in a hurry, but I'm not. Why should I hurry?"
"Isn't it more pleasant to walk slowly like this?"
"..." Hearing this, Matsushita Kudaiji suddenly understood. This Cheng Xiaofan was deliberately provoking Inoue Masakazu's bottom line.
She probably thought he was invincible in the Zhuxi Village area and that he was the best in the world.
Hmph!
Haven't you inquired about it?
What kind of existence is the Blood Demon Sect in Sakura Country!
Truly ignorant!
Before long, the two arrived at Inoue Masakazu's residence, one after the other. Before even entering, they could hear groaning sounds from within.
The sounds seemed to indicate extreme pain.
