260: Only the Xiao family

However, upon hearing this, Physician Chen shook his head, looking utterly helpless. If there had been a solution, he wouldn't have been standing there dumbfounded.

Actually, it's not that there's no solution, but I haven't reached that level yet. You still need to find one more person.

"Who?" Situ Jiu turned around, staring at Physician Chen and asking curiously.

"Who is it, Physician Chen?" Nan Qingyue also pressed for an answer. She wanted to know what was going on.

If there were a way, things wouldn't be like this.

And it was at this moment.

Situ Jiu looked helpless. If there were other options, he wouldn't be this anxious.

"It's actually quite simple. You just need to find someone who can peer into everything. As long as they can locate the exact position of the insect inside Mr. Li, then we will have a solution." Physician Chen spoke these words with a relaxed demeanor.

However, Nan Qingyue was troubled; this was practically an impossible task.

Similarly, Situ Jiu was also stumped, and he had no other recourse.

After all, the Gu Insect had been inside Li Changfeng's body the whole time. Trying to locate the insect within a person and then remove it was simply an impossible task.

"Then, Physician Chen, who exactly is the person you mentioned? Is this truly possible?" Situ Jiu quickly looked up, staring at Physician Chen and pressing him for an answer.

After hearing this, Nan Qingyue also felt helpless, unsure of what was going on.

Thus, there was truly no better option.

Physician Chen lowered his head and pondered for a long time.

After a long while, Physician Chen slowly raised his head, a flash of light bursting in his eyes as he looked at Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu.

"Are the two of you truly willing to trust me?" Physician Chen suddenly posed this question.

But since things had reached this point, even if Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue didn't trust Physician Chen, they had no other choice.

Nan Qingyue inhaled sharply. She first calmed herself down, then said with a somber expression, "Yes, we are willing to trust you this once. Of course, we only hope you won't deceive us."

"If I wanted to deceive you, I would have done so long ago. Why would I wait until now?" Physician Chen shook his head, looking quite helpless.

Physician Chen couldn't argue, as he had indeed deceived Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue before.

At this moment, it was understandable that Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu didn't trust him. If things weren't like this, the situation wouldn't be so complicated.

"Alright, we'll trust you this once. Tell us what we need to do!" Nan Qingyue's face darkened, and she adopted a serious expression. Just then, she took a sharp breath.

In truth, Nan Qingyue was conflicted. She wasn't sure whether she should choose to trust Physician Chen.

After all, Physician Chen was still a member of Mulan Manor. Although he would eventually be hunted by Mulan Manor's people, that was a matter for the future.

Currently, Physician Chen was still affiliated with Mulan Manor, which made things even more difficult for Situ Jiu.

Nan Qingyue was in the same predicament, unsure of what to do.

"I think you must first find a person. He is a Disciple of the Xiao Family, and perhaps they can help you," Physician Chen said slowly.

In fact, Physician Chen wasn't entirely sure either. He didn't know exactly how Mr. Li could be saved.

However, at this moment, Physician Chen understood something.

Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue weren't simply looking for someone who could save Li Changfeng, but rather someone they could rely on.

And the eyes of the Xiao Family Disciple were inherently powerful; perhaps they could help!

"The Xiao Family? Are you referring to the Xiao Family's Heavenly Eye?" A cold light flashed in Situ Jiu's mind, and he suddenly recalled something.

In the Jianghu, the Xiao Family's Heavenly Eye was renowned. Rumor had it that Xiao Family Disciples could use these eyes to see everything, even events happening a thousand miles away.

If that were the case, the Xiao Family might truly become Li Changfeng's aid.

"That's right, it's the Xiao Family's Heavenly Eye. Although the Heavenly Eye can help you, whether the Xiao Family Disciple is willing to assist, I cannot say for sure. All of this depends on fate." Physician Chen inhaled sharply, first allowing himself to calm down.

Following that, Physician Chen spoke these words and smiled slightly.

In truth, Situ Jiu had also thought of the Xiao Family before, but the Divine Sword Sect and the Xiao Family had virtually no interaction. If they really went to the Xiao Family, they wouldn't necessarily receive help.

This time, however, put Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue in an awkward predicament.

"But what if we go to the Xiao Family and their Disciple refuses to help us? If even this hope is shattered, then we truly will have no options left." Nan Qingyue sighed, feeling even more helpless.

If there were another way, Nan Qingyue wouldn't be acting like this.

"That's true. After all, we aren't familiar with the Xiao Family members, nor do we have any relationship with them. If we go directly to the Xiao Family, we might even be kicked out." Situ Jiu sighed, also looking helpless.

If the Divine Sword Sect and the Xiao Family had some connection before, that would have been fine. But the Xiao Family has always been a Hidden Family and does not participate in Jianghu disputes.

Meanwhile, the Divine Sword Sect has been expanding over the years.

I heard that the Xiao Family dislikes immortal families like the Divine Sword Sect, who only seize other families' land for their own benefit.

If we visit them as Disciples of the Divine Sword Sect, we might really be directly thrown out by the Xiao Family members.

This truly made Situ Jiu feel helpless.

"I already said earlier that whether the Xiao Family members are willing to help depends on fate; my words don't count," Physician Chen said with a slight smile.

In truth, Physician Chen had no choice either. After all, he wasn't familiar with the Xiao Family members and certainly had no connection to them.

If Physician Chen had dealings with the Xiao Family members, he could have used his personal favor to help Situ Jiu and Nan Qingyue.

However, the Xiao Family members didn't know Physician Chen at all, and they held no favorable opinion of Mulan Manor's people. If Physician Chen were the one to bring them, it likely wouldn't do any good.

"Fine, then we can only rely on fate. But regardless of whether it works or not, I must take Master to the Xiao Family." Nan Qingyue clenched her fists, her face solemn.

And it was at this moment.

Nan Qingyue had already made up her mind. She smiled faintly and took a sharp breath.

"A Jiu, let's go." Nan Qingyue turned around and called out.

However, upon hearing this, Situ Jiu remained rooted to the spot. He still hadn't figured out what to do.
