262: Derivative

Facing this question, Nan Qingyue suddenly fell silent; she truly hadn't thought this through yet.

Subsequently, Situ Jiu felt even more helpless. "There is, of course, another matter. What about Physician Chen? Just now, Physician Chen betrayed Mulan Manor; he will definitely be hunted down in the future. Are we going to leave Physician Chen here too?"

Situ Jiu had thought about a lot, and in truth, for him...

Physician Chen had already helped them, and in a way, he could be considered one of them.

However, the moment Situ Jiu thought about Physician Chen being hunted by Mulan Manor indefinitely, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

After all, Physician Chen was their savior, and seeing him embark on such a path made Situ Jiu feel a bit pained.

And Situ Jiu certainly did not want things to turn out this way.

"Then tell me, what do you want to do?" Nan Qingyue sighed helplessly; right now, she only wanted to save Master.

As for Physician Chen, Nan Qingyue hadn't considered him yet.

Upon hearing this, Physician Chen was deeply touched; he had never imagined that Situ Jiu would actually think of him.

Physician Chen stepped forward, his eyes moist. "Young Master, Miss, you don't need to worry about me. You should go attend to the important matters first. I can stay here and take care of Young Master Li."

"Of course, that is assuming you are willing to trust me."

"Otherwise, let's just forget it."

Physician Chen let out a long sigh, feeling utterly helpless.

In truth, as someone from Mulan Manor, Physician Chen never imagined he would end up walking alongside these people.

Furthermore, what Physician Chen hadn't expected was that getting along with these people would be so enjoyable.

"No! Physician Chen, I think you should come with us to Tingfeng Hall!" Situ Jiu suddenly declared.

"What?" Nan Qingyue's pupils constricted violently; she was even more confused.

"I'm going too? Why?" Physician Chen was puzzled. He sucked in a cold breath, trying to calm himself down first.

In reality, Physician Chen was desperate to hide from those people. If the people at Tingfeng Hall learned of his whereabouts...

…and then passed this information to Mulan Manor, then Physician Chen would have no path to survival.

If that happened, Physician Chen would be unable to go on living, yet all he wanted right now was to live a good life.

"The people at Tingfeng Hall have killed so many from Mulan Manor before. I personally think Mulan Manor would never come to Tingfeng Hall to ask for information. Besides, Mulan Manor already has its own intelligence network; they don't need a Tingfeng Hall. Moreover, Mulan Manor has its own pride, so they would never seek help from Tingfeng Hall," Situ Jiu analyzed.

"As for why I want Physician Chen to come with us, the reason is simple: I want Physician Chen to ask about something."

Situ Jiu curled the corner of his lips; he suddenly had an idea.

At this moment, Physician Chen realized that he had absolutely nothing to ask Tingfeng Hall.

However, even if he went to Tingfeng Hall, what good would it do?

"What question?" Nan Qingyue couldn't help but ask, her curiosity piqued.

"Yes, what should I go and ask?" Physician Chen was also confused; he felt as if Situ Jiu was talking nonsense.

Or perhaps, Situ Jiu had gone mad.

Upon hearing this, Situ Jiu felt even more helpless. He turned around, his bright eyes fixed intently on Physician Chen.

"Are you stupid! Of course, you go and ask how long you can remain on the run, or rather, when the people from Mulan Manor will find you again! And then take your life!" Situ Jiu suddenly blurted out.

This caused Physician Chen to have an Epiphany; a flash of lightning crossed his mind, and he suddenly had a thought.

It was true that Tingfeng Hall knew many things.

However, Physician Chen had never seen it with his own eyes, and he wanted to witness it for himself.

However, Physician Chen still had one question: even if he asked the people at Tingfeng Hall how long he would be hunted, would they really know?

If they could foresee future events, then Tingfeng Hall was simply too eerie.

Wouldn't that make them a divine fortune-teller?

After hearing this, Nan Qingyue sighed helplessly. "Alright, enough nonsense. If we are going to ask this question, let's hurry up and go."

After leaving these words, Nan Qingyue let out a cold snort and headed straight for the door.

Seeing this, Situ Jiu nodded, actually following her directly and standing at the doorway.

At this moment, in the large room, only Physician Chen remained.

Physician Chen stood frozen in place, not knowing what to do.

"What are you all doing? Are you leaving just like that?"

Physician Chen frowned, but he didn't delay. He stepped forward and stood by the bedside.

"Let's go, aren't we going to Tingfeng Hall?" Situ Jiu turned back and called out.

"Yes, what are you still standing there for? Let's get going," Nan Qingyue turned back and called out as well.

"But what about Young Master Li?" Physician Chen asked helplessly. If all three of them went to Tingfeng Hall, wouldn't they be leaving Young Master Li here all by himself?

If there was no one to take care of him, and they were gone for several days, it would be quite dangerous for Young Master Li to be here alone.

"We still have someone else, so rest assured." Nan Qingyue smiled slightly. After saying this, she turned around and headed straight for the door.

And just at this moment, a flash of insight crossed Physician Chen's mind.

That's right, Physician Chen finally remembered: there was still the injured Wang Yi. But that guy had a tough constitution; he hadn't died from all that, and now he could already get out of bed.

Furthermore, there had been a young man by Young Master Li's side, though he hadn't been seen for a while.

"Hey, coming, coming!" Physician Chen replied, then stepped forward.

Physician Chen felt relieved; Young Master Li should be fine here alone.

Outside the window.

The Qinghe man Nie Mingjue narrowed his eyes, staring intently at this scene.

Nie Mingjue had been guarding outside Young Master Li's window the whole time; he could clearly perceive any movement inside the room.

Moreover, with such a pair of eyes watching silently inside the room, he was protecting Young Master Li's safety.

Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue were very reassured; after all, Nie Mingjue's strength could be considered that of an expert.

"Young Master Li, I will not let anything happen to you. No one can hurt you!" Nie Mingjue sat cross-legged on the roof, his eyes slightly narrowed.

He could perceive everything within a ten-mile radius.

Even if a fly flew by, Nie Mingjue would know about it clearly.

After Physician Chen, Nan Qingyue, and Situ Jiu left the room, they headed straight for Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street.
