Chapter 272
"Where does he hurt?" A young man asked a little girl, about seven years old. She was covered in bruises and it looked like someone had repeatedly beaten her up.
"It does not hurt anywhere, grandfather. I am not hurt." The girl replied.
"No. You're definitely hurt. No more training today." The young man dismissed the girl's words and stood up while he retrieved his sword.
"I can still go, grandfather," The little girl cutely but desperately said. She didn't want her training session to be cut short but the young man cared for her more than anything or anyone else in the entire world. Although he was willing to go along with training even though it also meant hurting her.
He wasn't new to pain and he had beaten up people he loved the most in the world but he never hesitated because it was for their own good. But when it came to the little girl, this little one specifically, even he couldn't show all of his ruthlessness.
