256: Grasp the clues

If there were any other way, Situ Jiu would be helpless; he did not want to kill anyone either.

"In that case, is this our fault?" Nan Qingyue frowned, turning back to look at Physician Chen.

At this moment, a cold glint erupted in Nan Qingyue's eyes, and she stared fixedly at Physician Chen.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Actually, this was unavoidable, and it has nothing to do with you." Physician Chen quickly changed his tune; he dared not speak recklessly.

After all, Physician Chen's life was in the hands of Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue, and he did not want to be killed just like that.

"Forget it, Senior Sister, no need to waste words with him. Since we already know what we wanted to know, this person is no longer of any use." A cold glint erupted in Situ Jiu's eyes, and he sneered.

"What are you going to do?" Nan Qingyue frowned.

"Wait, Young Master, Miss, didn't you say you would let me go? Are you changing your minds?" Physician Chen's pupils constricted sharply, and he gasped.

Physician Chen's heart trembled; what if he were still silenced after spilling everything?

In that case, it would truly be unfair to Physician Chen.

After all, Physician Chen had already chosen his path; dying at their hands was worse than being hunted by Mulan Manor and living in hiding.

"Who said that?" Situ Jiu sneered, "I only said you were of no use; when did I ever say I was going to kill you?"

"Ah? You aren't killing me?" Physician Chen gasped, then let out a long sigh of relief.

With that, Physician Chen felt relieved, though he still felt quite helpless.

And it was at this very moment.

Nan Qingyue also heaved a sigh of relief; just moments ago, she thought Situ Jiu intended to kill Physician Chen!

"Why would I kill you? Wouldn't that be a waste?" Situ Jiu smiled, and at that moment, he flicked his wrist and sheathed his Dagger.

After receiving this news.

Physician Chen was overjoyed; his eyes lit up, and he was extremely happy that he wouldn't lose his life after all.

Physician Chen's original goal was simply to survive, to live well, and for this goal, he could sacrifice everything.

Immediately, Physician Chen reached out and gestured, saying, "Brother, come and untie me!"

Watching this scene, Nan Qingyue was slightly stunned. Although Situ Jiu said he wouldn't kill him, he hadn't said he would let him go, had he?

This Physician Chen really is...

"Fine, I can let you go, but I have one more request." Situ Jiu extended a finger and gently pressed it against Physician Chen's forehead.

Facing this, Physician Chen was slightly stunned, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Young Master, what exactly are you doing? You just said you would let me go, you can't go back on your word." Physician Chen was terrified, feeling quite helpless.

If he had any way to do so, he would definitely leave this place and escape these two people.

Hearing this, Situ Jiu's face darkened, though he hadn't taken it to heart.

"Rest assured, I am not that shameless." Situ Jiu curled the corner of his lips into a smirk.

And just at this moment.

Situ Jiu's eyes lit up, his bright gaze fixed firmly on Physician Chen.

In fact, Situ Jiu had already thought of a method; he felt that this Physician Chen might have other uses.

"Are you very familiar with Mulan Manor?" Situ Jiu suddenly asked.

"It's alright. As someone from Mulan Manor, I am fairly familiar with their way of life and combat style." Physician Chen thought for a moment before answering cautiously.

In truth, Physician Chen did not know why Situ Jiu asked this.

Yet, facing this question, Physician Chen had no choice but to answer.

Thus, Physician Chen felt quite helpless, as he had no other options.

"Good, that is enough, so we need you!" Situ Jiu's eyes brightened, his gaze sharpening as he stared fixedly at Physician Chen.

Since the Divine Sword Sect had decided to go to war with Mulan Manor, it would be quite good to have someone who understands Mulan Manor.

However, Situ Jiu did not have such a person by his side. Now, this Physician Chen had delivered himself to their doorstep, which made things even better.

Situ Jiu believed that this Physician Chen was practically a gift from the heavens.

"Young Master, what do you mean by this? I don't quite understand." Physician Chen was stunned, but looking at the look in Situ Jiu's eyes, he felt a sense of unease.

Physician Chen's whole body was tightly bound, so he had no way to act.

However, Physician Chen still used all his strength, struggling to move his body a few steps backward.

Situ Jiu turned back, looked at Physician Chen, and sneered, "What are you afraid of?"

"No, Young Master, let's just keep a proper distance. You don't need to get so close to me, I'm scared!" Cold sweat poured down Physician Chen's forehead; he felt that Situ Jiu had some malicious intentions.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not doing anything!" Situ Jiu chuckled and took a step forward.

Nan Qingyue was also curious; she stepped forward, a sharp gleam appearing in her eyes.

"I say, Young Master, Big Brother! Brother! Stay away from me, don't get close to me, I'm really scared!" Physician Chen gasped, trying to use this method to calm himself down.

However, Physician Chen simply could not calm down; he felt quite helpless.

By this time, the sweat on Physician Chen's back had soaked his clothes, and his forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

Physician Chen's sweat kept dripping down; it was truly a helpless situation.

However, Situ Jiu was getting closer and closer to Physician Chen, and at this moment, Physician Chen was trying his hardest to keep his distance from Situ Jiu.

Physician Chen kept wriggling on the ground; he dared not show the slightest negligence.

"What the hell are you afraid of! I've already said I won't kill you!" Situ Jiu pressed forward step by step, not knowing what he intended to do.

"A Jiu, forget it, stop teasing him." Nan Qingyue smiled slightly and also stepped forward.

However, Situ Jiu did not listen; he continued toward Physician Chen, and the smile on his face was so eerie that it would make anyone gasp.

Consequently, Physician Chen felt even more helpless; he had been forced into a corner.

Now, Physician Chen had nowhere left to run; behind him was a wall!

"Young Master! Spare my life!" Physician Chen fell to the ground, looking quite disheveled.

Physician Chen was truly terrified. He was still injured, and during his struggle, the wound had been reopened, and fresh blood flowed out once again.
