The person hiding in the tree, observing the situation inside, silently nodded as he watched Ertai, who for some unknown reason, instinctively protect Chen Nian and confront Erkang.
"Benjamin, could you go to the inner room and get an unused towel for Qing'er?"
Noticing Chen Nian's wet hair, Ertai spoke to Benjamin beside him.
Having received the agreement, Ertai turned to Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, could you please help Chen Nian untangle his hair so he doesn't catch a cold?"
Actually, he would rather have someone else strangle him, but now his brother's matter needs to be resolved.
"Ertai, you're going to help an outsider now, aren't you? Do you even care about me, your brother?"
And you, Chen Nian, all you ever do when something happens is hide behind my brother, right? What a coward.
Besides, Qing'er is no match for Ziwei. What can you do about it?
...
Erkang was furious. He talked to Qing'er, worried that she would reveal their relationship to Ziwei and make things difficult to explain. So he went to see Ziwei as well.
His intention was to clear up the misunderstanding, but Ziwei still didn't understand him and slapped him.
Before he could catch his breath, Chen Nian slapped him again. His brother was now protecting an outsider, and his brothers were clearly on Zhan Ertai's side. He had also been scolded by his father not long ago.
He is in a lot of pain all over his body, which makes him angry and irritable.
What terrible things has he done!
The series of events combined made Erkang lose his temper and speak recklessly, completely forgetting Chen Nian's threat and Ertai's warning.
"Erkang, you've gone too far."
"Erkang, how could you say that!"
Benjamin and Yongqi, who were standing to the side, couldn't stand it anymore.
Say it again.
Hearing people talk about Qing'er wasn't enough; they also had to drag Ertai into it. Shen Nian originally thought that with Ertai around, she didn't want things to get too tense in front of him and planned to settle accounts with Erkang next time. She had finally calmed down a little, but her anger was stirred up again.
She drew a sword from the side, pointed it at Er Kang, the cold blade trembling slightly. Her gaze was icy, like a frozen blade in the dead of winter, and the chill of the sword surrounded her.
"I can't control what you do with other people, but if you bully Qing'er, I'll fight you to the death. We'll see who wins. At worst, we'll both die. You won't get away with it either."
And Ertai, our affairs have nothing to do with him, so don't drag him into it."
The person in the tree felt a tightening in their heart when they saw Chen Nian draw his sword.
When Qing'er saw Chen Nian's actions, her thoughts jumped, her heart skipped a beat, and she stared at Chen Nian with dazed eyes.
Wow, Nian Nian is so cool and amazing! No wonder she likes Nian Nian.
Shen Nian met the gaze of the person with a cold expression. The long sword in her hand was already drawn, its sharp blade gleaming with a chilling light. The coldness in her eyes was something no one had ever seen before.
At this moment, Shen Nian shattered everyone's preconceived notions about her. The image of her as fragile and vulnerable vanished completely, replaced by a fierce and ruthless demeanor.
Chen Nian had always been perceived by them as a frail and sickly porcelain doll. She always liked to smile, but there was always a hint of forced smiles, and sometimes even a touch of bitterness.
But now she is truly cold, truly possessing a murderous aura.
That kind of look shouldn't be on Shen Nian, but now...
