270: Re-enter the illusion

"Your Excellency, you left me here alone; is there something you wish to say to me?" Physician Chen's face was dark. He looked up, a flash of cold light erupting from his eyes.

And it was precisely at this moment.

Physician Chen frowned tightly; he was quite helpless.

With that, Physician Chen stepped forward, looking vigilant, wanting to know what exactly Golden Child was planning to do.

"Physician Chen, last time you entered Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street, I was already merciful by not killing you. But why have you come in again this time? Are you not afraid of death?" Golden Child's face was dark, and a flash of cold light erupted from his eyes.

At this moment, Golden Child stared fixedly at Physician Chen, his fists clenched tightly.

In fact, Tingfeng Hall and Mulan Manor had always kept their distance, like well water not interfering with river water; the two had no dealings with each other.

"Death? I am already being hunted by people from Mulan Manor; I am no longer afraid. If I can live even one more day, that is a gift from the heavens for me!" Physician Chen let out a long sigh, his face filled with weariness.

Upon hearing this, Golden Child was slightly taken aback, looking at Physician Chen with a look of astonishment.

Golden Child was even more curious. Physician Chen was clearly a valued subordinate of Mulan Manor, so why was he being hunted by them?

These words were truly too suspicious, and Golden Child was somewhat unwilling to believe them.

Over the years, Mulan Manor had been able to ambush and kill passing Immortal Sect Disciples outside Yizhou City precisely because of the information provided by Physician Chen.

However, Physician Chen did not intend to follow Mulan Manor forever. Over these years, he had contributed much to Mulan Manor, yet he had not earned much money.

Mulan Manor did not treat its subordinates well, and many Mulan Manor disciples already harbored grievances.

It was precisely because of this that Physician Chen became even more determined that he must leave Mulan Manor as soon as possible.

"Then why did you betray Mulan Manor? It is hard for me to believe you." Golden Child's face was gloomy; he could not afford to be the slightest bit careless regarding this outsider.

After all, there was no other way.

Golden Child did not want to trust someone from Mulan Manor; even if Physician Chen had already left Mulan Manor, he still found it hard to believe him.

"I never intended to be believed by you. I only came for one thing: where do I need to go so that I will not be hunted by Mulan Manor? That is the only question I want to ask!" A sharp light erupted from Physician Chen's eyes.

Thus, Physician Chen had no other choice.

In fact, Physician Chen also wanted to know what he needed to do to survive.

And the only place that could provide the answer Physician Chen sought was Tingfeng Hall.

"However, you also know that Tingfeng Hall has its own rules!" Golden Child gasped. Looking at Physician Chen, who did not seem to be lying, he added, "Tingfeng Hall does not accept business from Mulan Manor disciples. Physician Chen, please return."

Upon hearing this, Physician Chen remained calm.

The last time Physician Chen came to Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street, Tingfeng Hall had given him the same answer.

Physician Chen had no choice; after all, he was a former member of Mulan Manor.

Tingfeng Hall and Mulan Manor had now become mortal enemies; there would be no good cooperation between the two sides.

"Then can I wait here for those two little friends to return?" Physician Chen looked up, a flash of cold light erupting from his eyes.

Physician Chen did not want to just abandon Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu here. If they were truly left here, the two of them would likely never find their way back.

Consequently, Physician Chen felt even more helpless.

He could not just let two lives be lost before he had even managed to save anyone!

"That is your freedom, but it is uncertain when your two friends will come out." Golden Child curled his lips, revealing a smirk.

Upon hearing this, Physician Chen's heart trembled, and he suddenly felt a sense of unease.

And it was precisely at this moment.

Physician Chen gasped, immediately stepping forward, not daring to have the slightest bit of negligence.

"Your Excellency, can you be more clear? What exactly happened to those two little friends? They will be safe and sound, right?" Physician Chen hurriedly asked.

However, Golden Child merely shook his head and said nothing more.

Golden Child turned around directly and strode away, heading towards the inner chamber.

"That will depend on their fortune! I cannot guarantee this!" After leaving these words, Golden Child's figure suddenly vanished, leaving only a lingering afterimage in his place.

And it was precisely at this moment.

Golden Child's movements were swift; in the blink of an eye, he had vanished from sight.

Afterwards, not knowing where Golden Child had gone, it was quite helpless.

Physician Chen remained stunned on the spot. He looked up, staring in the direction where Golden Child had left, lost in thought.

"Young Master A Jiu, Miss Qingyue, you must be safe. I will wait here for you, waiting for you to return!" Physician Chen's eyes moistened, and he understood in his heart.

This trip to Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street was inherently dangerous.

Furthermore, since Physician Chen was a former member of Mulan Manor, he had no idea what methods these people from Tingfeng Hall might use.

Thus, there was really no other way.

"Go back; stop waiting. I will send them out." Suddenly, at this moment, Golden Child's voice came from the air.

Upon hearing these words, Physician Chen was overjoyed. He hurriedly looked up, gazing into the distance towards the source of the voice.

Physician Chen hurriedly stepped forward, his expression full of surprise.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!" Physician Chen bowed respectfully; his voice even trembled slightly.

Golden Child had vanished from Physician Chen's sight. At this moment, he was truly gone, having left just like that.

Physician Chen remained stunned on the spot, not yet having reacted.

In truth, Physician Chen understood one thing clearly: this was not the outcome he had wanted at all.

If there were a chance, Physician Chen still wanted to ask how he could leave this place, and what he could do so as not to be hunted by the people of Mulan Manor.

Physician Chen had no answers to these questions in his heart; it was quite helpless.

"Forget it, as long as the two of them are safe, that is enough." Physician Chen considered that he had done a good deed. Thinking this, he turned around and walked to the doorway.

Physician Chen still did not leave; he sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting quietly at the entrance.

In truth, having handed the Young Master and the young lady over to Golden Child, Physician Chen was still a bit uneasy. Since he was the one who had brought everyone in, they should return together.

Rather than abandoning Nan Qingyue and Situ Jiu here and leaving Dongxiang Thirteenth Long Street by himself.
