242: There is a problem

"I wouldn't know about that. When I arrived, Master was already lying on Long Street, and there was no one else around," Nan Qingyue lied.

Nan Qingyue was using this method to conceal the truth.

Nan Qingyue didn't want Physician Chen to know what was really going on.

It was at this moment.

Situ Jiu stepped forward, a cold glint flashing in his eyes as he turned to look at Physician Chen.

"Physician Chen, do you know something? Could it be that you're acquainted with the person who attacked Mr. Li?" Situ Jiu suddenly asked.

Hearing this, Physician Chen's heart trembled, and he couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. At that moment, he frowned deeply and turned back, his bright eyes staring intently at Situ Jiu.

In truth, Physician Chen was also worried that the truth behind this matter would be discovered.

Physician Chen first coughed a few times, attempting to hide the matter.

Then, Physician Chen quickly shook his head and said slowly, "You're overthinking it. If I knew who had injured Mr. Li, would I still be at a loss?"

"If I knew that person's methods, I would have a countermeasure."

"But now, I have no idea what happened to Mr. Li, and I'm currently out of options."

"It's truly a helpless situation!"

Physician Chen also wanted to brush this matter aside; after all, he harbored secrets of his own that he couldn't let others know.

Just then.

Nan Qingyue turned around, a cold glint flashing in her bright eyes as she stared intently at Physician Chen.

In fact, Nan Qingyue could sense that Physician Chen's previous words were all nonsense, and he definitely knew something.

However, what Nan Qingyue didn't know yet was exactly what Physician Chen knew.

Could it be that the person who had saved her Master was acquainted with Physician Chen?

If there was some kind of ill-fated connection between the two, perhaps Physician Chen really did know who had saved her Master.

Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up. She stepped forward, went straight to the doorway, and blocked Physician Chen.

"Physician Chen, wait a moment. I have something else to ask!" Nan Qingyue quickly reached out and grabbed Physician Chen.

In truth, Nan Qingyue had too many questions; she wanted to know Physician Chen's identity and background.

After everything that had happened, Nan Qingyue felt that Physician Chen was definitely not as simple as he appeared; he must have other secrets.

Perhaps this little-known secret would come as a shock.

This only made Nan Qingyue more curious.

Who was really pulling the strings behind Physician Chen? It was truly suspicious for such a physician to be in a small place like Yizhou City.

"What do you want to ask?" Physician Chen turned back, his bright eyes staring intently at Nan Qingyue.

In truth, Physician Chen was also very afraid of his secrets being exposed, so he was extremely vigilant.

If Nan Qingyue and that brat really found out something, Physician Chen would be forced to take action.

"It's simple, Physician Chen. I want to know, where is your Pharmacy?" Nan Qingyue smiled slightly, appearing completely non-threatening.

However, Physician Chen understood that no one in Yizhou City was a simple character.

This was not a good sign.

"Pharmacy?" Physician Chen was slightly stunned. It took him a long while to recover, as he didn't understand what this little girl was trying to do.

Why did this girl suddenly insist on asking where his Pharmacy was?

Could this young woman have some ulterior motive?

"Yes, your Pharmacy!" Nan Qingyue smiled and stepped closer.

At this moment, Nan Qingyue and Physician Chen drew closer, their eyes meeting.

Nan Qingyue seemed to be testing him in this way, which was quite intriguing.

"Why are you asking about my Pharmacy? Besides, it hasn't been open for a long time. Lately, I've been traveling to practice medicine." The explanation Physician Chen gave was quite convincing.

However, Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up; she seemed to have a plan.

"Physician Chen, could you take me to see your Pharmacy? I've loved herbal medicine since I was a child, and I'd really like to take a look!" Nan Qingyue's eyes sparkled with excitement.

As Nan Qingyue spoke, the smile on her face grew even wider.

In reality, Nan Qingyue only wanted to uncover Physician Chen's secrets.

From the very beginning, Nan Qingyue felt that Physician Chen was hiding something.

Furthermore, Physician Chen definitely had a little-known secret. Having sensed this, Nan Qingyue would use every means at her disposal to uncover it.

"What a coincidence. My Pharmacy isn't in Yizhou City. Actually, I don't mind telling you—I'm an outsider, just passing through Yizhou City. It's all fate." Physician Chen smiled, already having a plan in mind.

"Not in Yizhou City? Then Physician Chen, where is your Pharmacy?" Nan Qingyue became even more curious.

This Physician Chen didn't even have a Pharmacy in Yizhou City, yet he was very familiar with the place.

Situ Jiu also felt it was strange, though he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with Physician Chen.

To be a physician and yet not have a Pharmacy in this city was far too strange. Of course, there was something even more suspicious.

If Physician Chen was someone famous in Yizhou City, why didn't anyone here recognize him?

Why didn't any of the common folk in Yizhou City come to Physician Chen for treatment?

As Nan Qingyue thought of this, a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

At this point, Nan Qingyue could only think of one possibility: Physician Chen was definitely suspicious, and perhaps he had another purpose for coming to Yizhou City.

"Of course. Yizhou City isn't near Medicine Mountain, so searching for herbs would be quite a hassle. That's why I opened my Pharmacy at the foot of Medicine Mountain. That way, I don't have to keep restocking herbs." As Physician Chen said this, he glanced at Situ Jiu out of the corner of his eye.

Situ Jiu nodded vigorously, looking like he had just realized something.

Seeing that Situ Jiu believed him, Physician Chen breathed a long sigh of relief and smiled slightly.

"So that's how it is. But wouldn't a Pharmacy at the foot of Medicine Mountain have poor business? After all, everyone knows about Medicine Mountain—who would go to a Pharmacy to buy herbs?" Nan Qingyue curled her lips, posing a critical question.
