Chapter 54: Qing'er's Heartache

The injuries on his face were much worse than those from the fight with Zhan Ze.

"Ah, don't bother yourself. I didn't want to bring trouble upon myself. I even said that night, not to complicate matters, but they insisted on making me speak up. I can't blame them, the blow should've landed on me. All I want is peace, and not to attract trouble. It's over and done with. As long as I've vented my anger, they won't bother me anymore. If you confront them, when will this end? They're free from trouble, but I'm different; I don't belong to anything here. I really don't want any trouble, really!" Ye Chen said.

Yu Qing looked at his expression and felt an unspeakable heartache.

"Ah, if a beating comes, so be it. It's a common occurrence in the countryside. Today there are fireworks, tomorrow an attack, the day after that, another beating. When will it end? I really don't want to continue playing in such manner. I can't afford it."

"Does it hurt?" Qing'er asked worriedly.
