251: Mulan Mansion's spy

Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu exchanged glances, and a thought immediately occurred to them both.

This Physician Chen had been concealing his identity all along; perhaps he was someone of high status within Mulan Manor.

If they could truly unearth Mulan Manor's secrets through Physician Chen, it would be a stroke of good fortune. Thinking of this, Nan Qingyue's eyes lit up.

"Very well. Then let me ask you: who are you, and why exactly did you come here?" Nan Qingyue's gaze hardened as she stared intently at Physician Chen.

Faced with this question, Physician Chen remained silent for a moment. Then, he drew a sharp breath, calmed himself down, and formulated a plan in his mind.

"Actually, Young Master Situ Jiu is right. I am indeed a member of Mulan Manor." Physician Chen sighed; faced with these two, he truly had no other choice.

Upon hearing this answer, Nan Qingyue nodded slightly. She had already guessed as much.

After all, this Physician Chen was a spy in Yizhou city; if he didn't have backing, he likely wouldn't have come here.

"What is your name?" Nan Qingyue asked with a dark expression, staring at Physician Chen.

At this moment, Situ Jiu did not dare to be the slightest bit careless, keeping a tight grip on Physician Chen.

If Physician Chen were to break free, he would be difficult to deal with.

"My name is Physician Chen," Physician Chen said hesitantly.

"What? I asked for your name, do you understand? Your name!" Nan Qingyue was becoming impatient, her anger instantly ignited.

Seeing this, Physician Chen felt even more helpless.

"I'm saying that my name is literally 'Physician Chen'." Physician Chen sighed; why couldn't they understand?

However, come to think of it, the name 'Physician Chen' really didn't sound like a person's name.

Nan Qingyue turned back and exchanged a look with Situ Jiu. Their eyes met, and they remained silent for a long time.

Situ Jiu was also completely confused; he had no idea what was going on.

"You are called Physician Chen?" Nan Qingyue asked tentatively.

"That's right, my name is Physician Chen!" Physician Chen nodded vigorously. At this moment, he didn't want to joke around; after all, these two were truly capable of killing.

Physician Chen wore a dark expression, his face serious.

However, Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu simply didn't believe it. After all, how could anyone have that name?

No, that wasn't right. This shouldn't be.

"Young Lady, Young Master, I am truly not lying to you! My name really is Physician Chen!" Physician Chen was anxious. He had clearly told the truth, but Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue just wouldn't believe him.

"Stop pretending! How could such a name exist in this world!" Nan Qingyue shouted, clenching her fist and waving it deliberately in front of Situ Jiu.

And it was at this very moment.

Situ Jiu reached out and grabbed Nan Qingyue.

"Senior Sister, wait a moment. It seems this guy is actually called Physician Chen." Situ Jiu turned back and glanced at him.

Actually, at this point, Situ Jiu had an inkling that 'Physician Chen' might truly be his name.

Things had reached this point; Physician Chen shouldn't be joking. Moreover, someone who cherished his life as much as he did wouldn't joke around at a time like this.

Otherwise, Physician Chen would end up dead right here.

"You are called Physician Chen?" Nan Qingyue asked again.

Physician Chen was helpless. He had been asked the same question several times, and now, he had no other option.

However, faced with this group, Physician Chen could only choose to remain humble.

"Yes, my name really is Physician Chen. I wouldn't lie to you." Physician Chen nodded vigorously. Now, he just wanted to survive; he didn't want to die like this.

After hearing this, Situ Jiu's expression darkened. He drew a sharp breath, then asked, "State your background yourself, and tell us your purpose for coming to Yizhou city."

Situ Jiu toyed with the Dagger in his hand; looking at him, it was clear he wasn't joking.

Physician Chen drew a sharp breath, forcing himself to calm down.

Then, Physician Chen wore a dark expression, his face serious.

"Actually, I'll tell you the truth. I am a member of Mulan Manor. You can understand it as me being a spy sent by Mulan Manor to Yizhou city. My goal here is very simple: to find Disciples participating in the Immortal Sect Tournament!" After Physician Chen said this.

Situ Jiu nodded slightly, and he immediately understood.

It was at this moment that Situ Jiu realized this Physician Chen was someone sent by Mulan Manor to gather intelligence.

And this time, Mulan Manor had set its sights on the Disciples participating in the Immortal Sect Tournament.

After reflecting on recent events, Situ Jiu finally understood. No wonder Divine Sword Sect Disciples had met with accidents on their way to the Immortal Sect Tournament!

Perhaps this all had something to do with Mulan Manor!

"Then, the disappearance of those Disciples participating in the Immortal Sect Tournament near Yizhou city recently—was that all your doing?" Situ Jiu asked with a dark expression; he had heard some rumors.

After Nan Qingyue received this news, her expression darkened, and a cold glint erupted in her eyes.

At this moment, the anger in Nan Qingyue's heart was instantly ignited. Her expression was dark, and she radiated Evil Qi from her entire body.

"I am only responsible for reporting the collected information back to Mulan Manor; the rest of the matters have nothing to do with me." Physician Chen chuckled.

This Physician Chen looked harmless, but in reality, he was truly wicked.

Situ Jiu clenched his fists tightly. He understood that if this were the case, things would be even more difficult.

"And then?" Nan Qingyue asked softly.

"After that, those people were surely taken care of by Mulan Manor. For this Immortal Sect Tournament, Mulan Manor is determined to take the top spot. Therefore, to achieve this goal, they will do many wicked things," Physician Chen said slowly.

These words also awakened Situ Jiu.

On this journey, the Divine Sword Sect would also be going to participate in the Immortal Sect Tournament, and as such, they naturally became a target of Mulan Manor.

If that was the case, Mulan Manor disciples would definitely be lying in ambush, waiting for Divine Sword Sect Disciples and other Immortal Sect Disciples to walk into their trap.

"Mulan Manor is truly vicious!" Situ Jiu clenched his fists, his brows knitted together, and his expression turned serious.

Nan Qingyue drew a sharp breath; she understood as well.

Those Disciples participating in the Immortal Sect Tournament must have been killed. Once they fell into the hands of Mulan Manor disciples, they likely wouldn't survive.

"Young Master, Young Lady, the viciousness is all Mulan Manor's doing; it has nothing to do with me. I haven't even killed anyone! You cannot kill me to vent your anger! That would be wrong!" Physician Chen drew a sharp breath and swallowed hard.

Seeing these two, Physician Chen was afraid.
