Niè Fēng clenched his fists tightly and said angrily, "Kid, if Sister Jiāo hadn't said you were injured, my fists would have landed on you long ago!"
Xiong Yujiao also shot him a dissatisfied look. "Lěng Yè, what's going on? Have you forgotten that you almost died at the hands of Lín Hǔ? Niè Fēng's strength is no less than Lín Hǔ's; having him around is enough to protect you. Hurry up and apologize to Niè Fēng—your safety still depends on him."
