The grove seemed gloomy and cold; the leaves were too dense to the point that sunlight was having trouble shining through. They weren’t sure if the anti-chemical unit did this on purpose, but some places that had broken branches were left untouched. They were lying there on the ground as if beasts were prowling these woods, and they were the ones who had bitten off these branches, instilling baseless fears into the hearts of the people.
Yao Jing had kept her eyes on Ye Jian at first because Ye Ying kept tugging on her sleeve, but the moment she stopped paying attention, she realized Ye Jian had disappeared. Glaring at her, she spoke through clenched teeth: “Can you act more strong-willed? Can you stop acting like a kid that hasn’t been weaned?”
“Go take a look ahead; I don’t think she can fly!”
Flying was an exaggeration; what she had done was climb up a tree.
The broken branches on the ground aroused Ye Jian’s attention, the breaks don’t seem natural, nor do they seem like they were broken through human force, looking at the breakage… it looked like they had been shot off by bullets.
After taking a look when she climbed up a tree, it was indeed shot off by bullets; this anti-chemical unit was quite interesting. Their form of training was also quite fascinating; it was more interesting than shooting at target rings.
Tree-climbing was also a skill that snipers must grasp; even Principal Chen had to exclaim, “That’s fast” at Ye Jian’s barehanded tree-climbing speed, fast and swift, she could climb up at least three meters in a minute.
With such speed, getting Yao Jing off her tail was a piece of cake.
She climbed down the tree while the two girls walked straight ahead.
Ye Jian chuckled lightly; she didn’t speak up. Instead, she turned around and headed towards the outside. No one can approach a military zone, and since they were begging for a scolding, it wasn’t her problem.
Because Yao Jing berated Ye Jian last time, she had spent most of her recent time getting closer to Ye Ying. While in the Principal’s office, it may seem like she had admitted her mistake with the right attitude; however, her temper was always an unyielding one. She scolded a person that she should never have while her guard was down, that, she admits.
But to make her get over it just like that, that’s impossible. Ye Jian had made her suffer such a massive disgrace in the school. Not only were the students in Class One gossiping behind her back, but even her classmates were doing the same.
There were a couple of times when she overhead those busybodies in the toilet saying that she even dared to insult heroes, it serves her right to be called into the Principal’s office!
She can apologize, but she mustn’t lose face! Since now she was already humiliated, Ye Jian should perish the thought of living peacefully. She must find a way to disgrace Ye Jian more than she was so that the whole school would know about it!
Ye Ying was a prodigy. Aside from her conventional methods and not being able to restrain herself as much as Yao Jing, she was talented at grasping the minds of others.
The relationship between the two was on the verge of drifting apart. Still, they got back together again because of Ye Jian; their relationship seemed much closer in the eyes of others.
In a moment, the bright red words saying ‘Military Zone’ could be seen clearly. Even if Yao Jing had more courage, she knew they couldn’t continue anymore, when she was about to turn around, a troop of soldiers who appeared out of nowhere stepped in front of them and roared: “What are you doing!! Put your hands up, turn around, and hug a tree!”
Ye Jian, who had placed a couple more meters between them, could hear Ye Ying’s shriek coming from behind her. She seemed to be so frightened, who knows if her ‘heart attack’ would even happen. With a smile on her face, Ye Jian left the area with fleeting footsteps, as to what would happen to the duo left behind, naturally, whatever should happen, would happen.
Because they were still students, they walked out of the grove five minutes later with ashen faces.
“Didn’t Luo Ran come to visit you last night? Did he not tell you anything?” Once they got out, Yao Jing’s face was frighteningly calm, “He has many connections, how is it possible that he couldn’t come up with an idea?”
