Xie Yun wasn't, in all honesty, afraid of being hurt. Though he gets it. If someone in the village looked like Zhou Fei or Chen Zichen then he'd do his best to protect them too. To make sure they didn't get hurt.

"I have no problem keeping up."

He had exceptional qinggong and would be able to keep up just fine. He loves the teasing and isn't quite used to that. That doesn't mean he won't head off toward the pier where the commontion has started up.

Maybe later he would have to talk to Lan Wangji, mention that he spoke to the man's older brother. For now? They'd just need to get across the pier and fight back-to-back in order to help those around them.
