"No, Senior Brother, it's too dangerous. They are looking for me. Don't lead them away!"
Murong Jiu shook her head and gripped Senior Brother Cheng's arm tightly.
"They won't hurt me, Senior Brother. Listen to me, they have a use for capturing me, but you're vulnerable. If they capture you, they will definitely kill you!"
"They won't catch me. I go into the mountains all year round and know the mountain paths better than they do. I will buy you time; you must run away and not let them catch you."
As he spoke, he gripped Murong Jiu's hand tightly. "Ah Jiu, your brother isn't very useful. This is the only thing I can do for you."
Tears fell from Murong Jiu's eyes like beads off a broken string.
She shook her head, "No, Senior Brother..."
"There's no time left!"
Senior Brother Cheng released her hand. "Ah Jiu, listen to me."
Before he could finish, Murong Jiu struck the back of his neck with a karate chop, causing Senior Brother Cheng to fall, eyes wide open.
