The three of them were now competing in terms of physical strength, seeing who could last the longest.
Nan Yi, mindful of Zheng Yong's injury, desperately spurred his horse to catch up with Yuan Qingyi, who was lying on the back of the horse ahead.
After running for nearly half an hour, Yuan Qingyi could no longer hold on and suddenly fell off her horse, followed by Zheng Yong.
She leaped off her horse and rushed to Zheng Yong. Seeing him clutching his chest, his face pale, Nan Yi's heart tightened. "Has your wound reopened? Where's the medicine? Quickly take it out and give it to him."
"No, it's okay, I'll handle it myself. You deal with him first." Zheng Yong pushed her away. "No, don't let him get away."
"Oh, I understand." Nan Yi stood up and saw that Yuan Qingyi was trying to climb back onto the horse. Nan Yi picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it, and Yuan Qingyi fell back down.
She walked up to Yuan Qingyi with a short blade in hand. Yuan Qingyi was horrified and crawled on his hands and knees to escape.

For some reason, Nan Yi suddenly found himself unable to bring himself to do it. He raised the short blade in his hand several times, but just couldn't bring himself to stab.

Nan Yi closed her eyes and lowered her head to Zheng Yong. "I'm sorry, I can't do it." A living person was at stake; she couldn't just take that life away so easily.
