Knowing that Chen Nian was physically weak and prone to injury, Xiao Jian controlled his strength even when he was angry, so even though Chen Nian struggled, the red marks on his wrists were not very noticeable.
"How did you get your hand injured? Who did it? Tell me, I'm going to kill him."
Hearing the commotion, Cailian rushed over and her gaze immediately fell on Shen Nian's wrist. She couldn't see anything else at that moment and rushed over anxiously, not caring if she bumped into someone. All she could think about was Shen Nian's reddened wrist.
Having heard that Chen Nian had disappeared, he followed Benjamin out to look for Cai Lian, whom he had run into. Seeing Cai Lian's out-of-control state, he was momentarily stunned.
But the next second, he hurriedly caught up, constantly apologizing to the person Cailian had bumped into on her behalf.
While Benjamin was apologizing, Cailian had already arrived at Chen Nian's side. She brushed away Ertai's hand that was holding Chen Nian's hand, and seeing the red marks on Chen Nian's wrist, Cailian was furious. Her whole body was filled with anger, and the words she spoke unconsciously came out.
Seeing the scars on Shen Nian's body again was like seeing those years when she didn't have time to participate in Shen Nian's world, and when Shen Nian was bullied by others.
She was filled with regret, wishing she had met Chen Nian sooner so she could have protected her and prevented her from being bullied.
Ertai and the others, along with Yongxuan, Benjamin, and Yongqi who had just arrived, sensed Cailian's intense anger and the genuine worry in her eyes for Chen Nian, and their hearts were filled with complex emotions.
To be honest, their trust in Shen Nian is only trust in Shen Nian; that doesn't mean they can easily accept someone who suddenly appears.
They already placed great importance on Niannian's safety, and now that someone has suddenly appeared, it's hard for them not to suspect that he has ulterior motives. Their identities are already sensitive, and it's possible that someone with ulterior motives might see through Niannian's naivety and take action against him.
Although they traveled in a low-key manner, many people in the palace knew about their trip, and none of them knew whether there were spies or not.
Therefore, apart from their own people, they are very wary of everyone who gets close to them, especially when it comes to matters of meditation.
Even though Shen Nian spoke up for Cai Lian, Cai Lian didn't do anything out of line and behaved herself. They were still wary of Cai Lian, but now, Cai Lian's various subconscious behaviors...
The words that slipped out, the subconscious actions, and the genuine worry in their eyes—similar to their own—made them choose to believe Cailian, and the strong defenses they had built up in their hearts weakened.
"Okay, Cai Cai, I'm fine. I was just mistaken for someone else and they grabbed the wrong person."
Sensing Cailian's intense emotional fluctuations, Shennian felt a warmth in his heart and reached out to pull her into his arms.
Seeing the shocked, worried, and jealous looks in the other people's eyes, he helplessly curled his lips, shook his head at the others, and gently coaxed the person in his arms.
This must be the trouble of being cared about by too many people, a hint of smugness on Shen Nian's face.
These people are the "empire" she built, and they are her backers.
Sigh, she's so lucky to have so many people who care about her.
This life has been worthwhile.
After being hugged by Chen Nian, Cai Lian's anger dissipated.
In the end, the injury on his hand was also casually ignored by Chen Nian.
During this period, the incident of helping Liu Hui open a noodle shop also occurred.
