Feeling the pressure on his wrist, Chen Nian raised his voice slightly and tried to break free.
"Chen Nian! Do you even care about your health?!"
Upon hearing about Chen Nian's physical condition, Xiao Jian was trembling with anger. He couldn't control his emotions for a moment, and even changed his tone from "Junior Sister" to "Name," which shows how angry he was.
“Come back to the valley with me. What did you promise your master when you left the valley? Don’t you know your physical condition? Is there anything that requires you to fight on your own? You have so many people protecting you. If they can’t protect you, then come back to the valley with me.”
Xiao Jian was furious and grabbed Chen Nian's wrist, trying to lead him away.
Her physical condition is much worse than when she first left the valley. If this continues...
He dared not imagine the consequences.
"I'm not going back, senior brother. I understand my situation. Please let me leave."
Chen Nian struggled fiercely, but Xiao Jian held her tightly. Without any martial arts skills, she was just a weak woman and no match for Xiao Jian, a man with considerable martial arts skills.
"Let me go, Xiao Jian! You're hurting me, don't force me."
Unable to break free for a long time, and hearing voices calling his name coming from the market, he grew anxious.
"You want to fight me?"
The four words following "Chen Nian" shocked and hurt Xiao Jian. He turned around to look at Chen Nian in disbelief, and his hand unconsciously loosened its grip. Chen Nian took the opportunity to break free.
He never expected that Shen Nian would resort to violence, even at the cost of her own health, to force him to let go, simply because she wanted to leave.
She knew that if she said that, he would definitely let go.
"I don't want to, but please let me leave."
Seeing the fleeting hurt in Xiao Jian's eyes, Shen Nian's eyes showed apology.
"Senior brother, you know my personality. I don't have much time left. I want to be with them."
Chen Nian looked at Xiao Jian and spoke slowly and firmly, word by word.
"I'm leaving now."
After finishing his sentence, Chen Nian turned to leave.
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I didn't mean it."
Xiao Jian's gaze fell on the red marks on Shen Nian's wrist, and his eyes showed apology and guilt. He took out the swelling and bruise-reducing ointment he always carried with him and handed it over.
"It's okay, you don't need the ointment, I have my own."
Upon hearing Xiao Jian's apology, Chen Nian shook his head.
It's alright, she knows Xiao Jian is doing it for her own good.
As for ointment, Xiao Jian only needs it when she's traveling the world; she has no shortage of ointment when she's with them.
"Alright."
Xiao Jian paused for a moment, then uttered only two words. Many words of advice lingered on his lips, but he swallowed them back down.
"When you have time, come back to the valley often. Your other senior brothers also miss you. Your master is also very worried about you. Please don't fight anymore. Your body can't take any more abuse. If you want to go back to the valley, contact your senior brothers and they will take you back."
Finally, as Xiao Jian watched the departing person, his usually clear and steady voice trembled with a rare hint of unease.
"Um."
Hearing Xiao Jian's words, Chen Nian, who had already walked a distance away, paused for a moment, responded, and left without looking back or hesitating.
...
"Niannian, where did you go? What happened to your hand? How did you get it?"
Seeing the person walking towards her from a distance, Qing'er took a step and ran over. Looking at the red mark on Chen Nian's wrist, she asked worriedly.
"What happened to your hand? Let me see. How did you get hurt? Didn't you say you were going shopping? How did you get hurt again? Does it hurt? Come on, let's go back and put some medicine on it."
Ertai, who was also searching for someone, saw the commotion and rushed over. When he saw the red marks on Chen Nian's wrist, he felt extremely distressed.
