After pondering for a moment, Li Jinnian, who had been judging Ye Jian silently, asked again: “What was her reaction after reading the training plan for tomorrow?”
Big Whale thought for a while then shook his head: “No reaction. She just said, “I understand”. Nothing else.”
Ye Jian, who had undergone rigorous training, had long been accustomed to “fate of a soldier was like a mountain”, so she wouldn’t change her training plans even if she had opinions.
Throughout their conversation, Li Jinnian’s handsome face that was always cold, finally had a smile, as if a glorious glow floated from the top of a snow-capped mountain. It was so beautiful.
Fortunately, Big Whale did not look up; he just lowered his head and guessed Ye Jian’s origins. The smile on Li Jinnian’s face was like the colors of a snow breeze, but it faded away in less than a second. It didn’t show up anymore.
While they were conversating, Ye Jian had already changed her clothes, zipped up her tent, and looked up at the deep night sky. She only needed to reach out to feel the touch of the dazzling stars. She closed her eyes and fell asleep not long later.
When she opened my eyes once more, it was five a.m.: meeting time. There was no whistle or trumpet; she got up all by herself.
Ye Jian, who arrived ten minutes earlier, did not immediately show up. She hid behind the reef and observed the situation under the faint light. The meaningful gaze from Big Whale before he left her last night made her feel that… this morning’s meeting wouldn’t be comfortable.
Someone was standing on the beach with his hands behind his backs. Standing under the light of the sky, he was vague and mysterious. He was tall, at least 1.85 meters tall, with slender and even limbs. He stood motionless as if he had been standing for a thousand years.
What surprised Ye Jian was that the aura emanating from him was different from Xia Jinyuan’s aura that was as majestic as a mountain and calm enough to make her feel at ease at first sight.
This man’s aura was raging and icy; it was as if the snow mountain was about to collapse. With a powerful aura like that, he could swallow everything, ruining the world.
This kind of momentum made Ye Jian take a look and immediately retracted her gaze to avoid being discovered by Li Jinnian…. Intuitively told her that the figure standing in front must be Li Jinnian.
Three water ghosts skimmed past the beach, embraced the unnamed bare tree with their hands, and slid a few times before climbing the tree, without using any climbing tools, in the blink of an eye.
Cries of seagulls sounded from the tree, secretly signaling each other.
Ye Jian’s spirit was refreshed; sure enough, the meeting wouldn’t go smoothly!
Seven minutes before five, five figures lined up and trot out from the left. The line was neat, and they shouted: one, two, one, which made them look neat and energetic.
Li Jinnian’s gaze sank sharply, he lifted his hand slightly. Suddenly, several figures rushed out and piled together in lightning speed.
“What the heck! Play sneak attacks early in the morning! Do you still want to train or not?”
“Don’t you think it’s interesting? Don’t you think it’s interesting?”
There were two others in front who were able to stand up and say a word before their mouths were covered. Another three navies fell directly on the beach. A murderous deep voice sounded above their heads, “Shut up. Otherwise, I’ll let you guys eat sand!”
Ye Jian, who was witnessing everything, let out a sigh of relief. Her hair stood up straight, her body rolled forward two times to avoid a sneak attack from the people on the reef.
“Huh?” A water ghost leaped from the top of the reef. He was clearly surprised.
