166: Safety
"Physician Chen, you might want to think about this carefully again. Even if you truly find the Seven-Colored Powder, will that Zhang Chongfei let you live?"
"You are thinking about this far too simply!"
"If it were me!"
"Regardless of whether the Seven-Colored Powder is found or not, I would take your life."
A cold glint erupted in Li Changfeng's eyes. His serious expression caught Physician Chen off guard.
But things had already reached this point.
Physician Chen saw things clearly; he understood Li Changfeng's words.
He did not know what Zhang Chongfei intended to do with the Seven-Colored Powder, but naturally, for the sake of his own ambition and secrets, he certainly would not let him live.
Physician Chen lowered his head, his complexion looking poor.
"Young Master, you are right. I was thinking about everything too simply." Physician Chen sighed, looking somewhat dejected.
"Young Master, then what do you suggest I do?"
"What should I do!"
Physician Chen felt helpless. He knew the sinister nature of people, but he hadn't expected it to come to this.
Consequently, Physician Chen found himself in a passive position.
"Strike first to gain the advantage." A cold glint erupted in Li Changfeng's eyes; he already had a plan.
In this situation, there was simply no better solution than to act first.
Li Changfeng was willing to give it a try.
Such a simple and brutal method.
"Alright, Young Master, everything will be as you say!" Physician Chen nodded vigorously, having made his decision.
If it were truly as Li Changfeng said, and he found the Seven-Colored Powder, he would be killed regardless.
Then why should he do such a thing?
Either way, it was death; there was simply no other way.
"However, Young Master, can you really kill Zhang Chongfei?" Physician Chen gasped, first forcing himself to calm down.
Physician Chen was startled by this outcome; he did not want to be killed.
After all, Physician Chen still had plenty of good years ahead; he couldn't just die like this.
"Rest assured, as long as you can save Situ Jiu, I can kill Zhang Chongfei." Li Changfeng nodded firmly, and looking at his expression, he did not seem to be lying.
Upon hearing this.
Physician Chen nodded gently and replied, "Alright, since that is the case, I will leave everything to you, Young Master. I hope you can kill that man!"
"Of course, Physician Chen, please do not forget what you promised me; you must help me save Situ Jiu." Li Changfeng stared at Physician Chen.
If Physician Chen were to go back on his word.
Li Changfeng would think of another way, and would not choose to kill Zhang Chongfei.
"Young Master, please rest assured, I will definitely do what I promised." Physician Chen nodded vigorously.
Zhang Chongfei was Physician Chen's mental knot; only when he was dead.
Could Physician Chen truly live on.
"Good." Li Changfeng nodded gently and pulled Physician Chen over to Nan Qingyue's side.
"This Wang Yi, and Situ Jiu inside—both of them are now in your care. If anything happens to either of them, I will definitely take your life!"
"Little Qingle, come with me; we are going to take care of something."
Li Changfeng called out and handed Wang Yi over to Physician Chen.
At this sight.
Physician Chen nodded vigorously; he would certainly use all his strength.
"Rest assured, Young Master, I will certainly handle this matter well." Physician Chen carried Wang Yi on his back and stepped into the Pharmacy.
Li Changfeng turned back, and seeing this, he let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as Situ Jiu and Wang Yi were safe, Li Changfeng could rest easy.
However, Nan Qingyue did not understand why her master had made such a decision.
"Master, are we just going to hand over Situ Jiu and Wang Yi like this? Are we not going to look after them at all?" Nan Qingyue frowned, feeling somewhat uneasy.
"But is this really good for us?"
"Can that Physician Chen be trusted?"
Nan Qingyue had too many questions, which gave Li Changfeng a headache.
In truth, Li Changfeng was also gambling.
This Physician Chen was a family-loving man. Such people were afraid of death, and he would do many things to survive.
Zhang Chongfei had asked Physician Chen to go to the Gao Family Warehouse to find the Seven-Colored Powder.
The fact that Physician Chen agreed to such a thing was enough to prove this point.
"Mm, I trust him; this Physician Chen wouldn't dare." Li Changfeng nodded gently and gasped.
A sharp glint erupted in Li Changfeng's eyes as he had some thoughts.
Upon hearing this.
Nan Qingyue could only nod gently.
With that, Nan Qingyue could not say much more; her master had his own decisions.
"Master, where are we going?" Nan Qingyue asked, puzzled.
"To a place we are familiar with. Can you guess where it is?" Li Changfeng turned back and looked at Nan Qingyue with a meaningful expression.
"Where? I don't have any familiar places here in Yizhou." Nan Qingyue was confused.
This was Nan Qingyue's first time in Yizhou; she had no idea what places in this city could be familiar to her.
Could it be West Street or East City Street?
There was indeed plenty of food there, but the candied hawthorns were better in the central city.
"Of course, it's the Gao Family; we are going to the Gao Family Warehouse." Li Changfeng deliberately teased her before revealing the matter.
Upon hearing this.
Nan Qingyue gasped and tried hard to calm herself down.
However, Nan Qingyue still looked a little surprised.
"Master, we just escaped from the Gao Family Warehouse, why are we going back! What are we going back for!" Nan Qingyue exclaimed.
Upon hearing this.
Li Changfeng quickly raised his head and looked around.
After discovering there was no one else around.
Li Changfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Little Qingle, don't be so agitated. We are actually going to do something serious."
"Keep your voice down, it won't be good if someone hears us."
"Do you understand?"
As Li Changfeng said this, he reached out and gently patted Nan Qingyue's little head.
Looking at Nan Qingyue's obedient appearance.
Li Changfeng smiled slightly; his smile was very warm.
"Master, shall we go now then?" Nan Qingyue looked up, a glimmer of light flashing in her bright eyes.
Nan Qingyue smiled slightly, looking very obedient.
Seeing Nan Qingyue like this, Li Changfeng felt his heart melt.
"Alright. Let's go." Li Changfeng replied, then immediately took Nan Qingyue and headed straight for the Gao Family Manor.
In truth, Li Changfeng never intended for Nan Qingyue to enter the Gao Family Manor, and the reason he brought her along.
Was also for one reason.
Someone always has to keep watch.
"Master, do I need to prepare anything, like what to do if we run into people from Mulan Manor, or what if I run out of Spiritual Qi, or something like that?" Nan Qingyue lowered her head in thought, pondering for a long time.
Then, Nan Qingyue gasped; she was clearly a little nervous.
