258: Trust between enemies

Nan Qingyue was slightly stunned after hearing Physician Chen's words, completely failing to react.

At this moment, Situ Jiu also felt strange.

A Spirit Master should only need a powerful spirit, so why did Physician Chen say he wasn't qualified at all?

"What do you mean?" Nan Qingyue asked, puzzled, her brows tightly furrowed.

"Physician Chen, please explain it. Otherwise, we might not believe you," Situ Jiu sneered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

At this moment, Situ Jiu's gaze sharpened as he stared intently at Physician Chen.

Situ Jiu wanted to use this method to uncover feng lingzi's secret. If such a treasure couldn't be used, it would truly become useless.

"Actually, the most important condition for using feng lingzi is to perform a blood recognition ritual. Only by using one's own blood to awaken the Spirit within feng lingzi can one control the Spirit and become a true Spirit Master," Physician Chen said, letting out a long sigh.

In fact, Physician Chen also wanted to become a Spirit Master, but after he dripped his blood, feng lingzi showed no reaction at all.

Physician Chen had initially been full of anticipation, but nothing happened.

This greatly disappointed Physician Chen. He had thought he could become a Spirit Master, but it turned out to be an impossible feat.

"And after I dripped my blood, feng lingzi showed no reaction, so it seems it's not meant for me," Physician Chen sighed deeply, full of helplessness.

If there was a way, Physician Chen would also want to become a Spirit Master.

Unfortunately, this wasn't something that could be achieved just by talking about it.

Physician Chen let out a long sigh, feeling even more helpless.

As a result, Physician Chen had no other options. He looked down at feng lingzi, which had become his last hope.

"Are you serious? As long as we blow feng lingzi, you can sense it? And then we can find you?" Situ Jiu asked cautiously, staring at Physician Chen.

This Physician Chen was no simple character; he had been able to lurk in Yizhou City for so long, constantly relaying intelligence to Mulan Manor.

Such a person wouldn't just surrender without a fight.

"Yes, whenever you want to find me, just blow feng lingzi. As soon as feng lingzi sounds, we'll meet at Jiumu Ju, thirty li outside Yizhou City. How does that sound?" Physician Chen looked up, his expression serious, not seeming to be lying.

"But what if we blow feng lingzi and you just escape? What then?" Situ Jiu's face darkened, and he took a sharp breath, calming himself down before remembering this matter.

Nan Qingyue also looked up, gazing at Physician Chen.

Actually, this Physician Chen wasn't that suspicious. Nan Qingyue felt that, all of a sudden, she could choose to trust Physician Chen this one time.

"I won't. I have nowhere else to go. After this, I will be hunted by Mulan Manor. I will only have a chance to survive with your help," Physician Chen said, his face grim, a hint of bitterness in his voice as he spoke of this matter.

From now on, Physician Chen could only live a life of hiding, as the people of Mulan Manor would hunt him everywhere.

But Physician Chen had no other choice; to survive, he could only make such a decision.

"So I will trust you unconditionally, and of course, I hope you can always trust me," Physician Chen said seriously, uttering these words directly.

After hearing this.

Nan Qingyue suddenly fell silent. At this moment, she was very conflicted and didn't know what to do.

Physician Chen stood up straight; he had already given up hope of living.

From now on, everything would be fate.

"Alright, I believe you." Situ Jiu nodded forcefully, choosing to believe at this moment.

In fact, if Physician Chen wanted to live, he could only beg for mercy, or if Situ Jiu changed his mind.

In such a situation, if Physician Chen continued to speak nonsense, Situ Jiu might kill him in a fit of anger.

In that case, Physician Chen would truly die a wrongful death.

"Really?" Physician Chen's eyes lit up, and he was instantly overjoyed after hearing this. "You really believe me?"

Physician Chen stepped forward and stood directly in front of Situ Jiu.

At this moment, Physician Chen reached out and tightly grasped Situ Jiu's hand, using this method to vent his emotions.

"Yes, I am willing to believe you, but I also hope you won't disappoint me." Situ Jiu's face was grim as he looked up, a cold glint flashing in his bright eyes.

Situ Jiu clenched his fists tightly and let out a cold snort.

Immediately, Physician Chen stepped forward and looked into Situ Jiu's eyes.

At this moment, their eyes met, and neither of them calmed down for a long time.

"Alright, this concludes the matter," Situ Jiu breathed a long sigh of relief, finally making up his mind. "I can let you go, but you must adhere to our agreement, and you must also help me find out the secrets of Mulan Manor."

"Can you do this?"

Situ Jiu looked up, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Situ Jiu was using this method to coerce Physician Chen; he wanted a satisfactory answer.

Of course, if Physician Chen went back on his word, Situ Jiu would use every means to kill him.

"Yes, I will definitely do what I promise, Young Master, please rest assured." Physician Chen nodded forcefully, and from his appearance, he didn't seem to be joking.

And it was at this moment.

Nan Qingyue also came closer, standing beside Physician Chen.

"Physician Chen, there's one more thing I want to ask you." A flash of insight crossed Nan Qingyue's mind; she suddenly remembered something.

"What is it? Please tell me." Physician Chen nodded gently, somewhat curious.

What could Nan Qingyue possibly want? It was truly intriguing.

Physician Chen had an idea in his heart; he could guess that it was mostly about Li Changfeng, the person Nan Qingyue cherished.

"Young Lady, just say it directly. I will tell you everything I know," Physician Chen smiled slightly.

After hearing this, Nan Qingyue finally relaxed. She turned her head and first glanced at Li Changfeng lying on the bed.

Then, Nan Qingyue turned back to Physician Chen, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
