Chapter 623
All the instructors treated Ye Jian like their own comrades after what happened yesterday. There was no distance between them.
“Come, before they come back, let’s have some snacks.” A soldier came from behind them. He didn’t notice that there was a student among the instructors. He even stood beside Ye Jian and said, “I found something good. Do you want to have a taste of it?”
Found something good?
Ye Jian turned around. She saw a soldier around twenty-years-old. He was one of the soldiers that were secretly protecting the students along the journey. There was a non-poisonous snake in his hand.
The snake twirled around his arm. Ye Jian estimated that it was around one meter in length. The soldier grabbed it by its throat. The snake’s mouth was wide open. It looked scary but it was quite harmless.
The instructors kept winking at their comrade to remind him that there was a student here.
The soldier didn’t see their winks. He sat down excitedly beside Ye Jian.
When he finally noticed Ye Jian, he was shocked. “When did we have such a pretty female soldier? Even the office staffs are males. Where did she come from?”
Ye Jian had the aura of a soldier so the young man didn’t suspect her identity.
“You’re so talkative!” The instructor closest to him reminded him awkwardly, “This is a student. Take note of your actions.”
The soldier holding the snake felt embarrassed. This snake… it seemed like they couldn’t eat it.
Just as he was about to release it, Ye Jian grabbed the snake by the throat and said, “Mole snake, its meat is tender and it is non-poisonous. It’s a good thing.” When she walked through the forest in the Western Province with Principal Chen last time, this was what she ate the most.
When Ye Ying came over with two soldiers, she saw Ye Jian stabbing a dagger on a piece of wood. Then, she saw the long snake beneath the dagger.
Before she could react, she saw Ye Jian taking another dagger from an instructor and slitting the back of the snake.
Ye Ying felt a chill down her spine. Ye Jian was skinning a snake alive.
She felt her stomach churning. She vomited before she could find a decent spot.
To think that Yao Jing was planning to scare Ye Jian with a few snakes!
For the first time, Ye Ying wanted to stay as far away from Ye Jian as possible. Why did this happen? Why did she fail all the time? This time, she hadn’t even started her plan but she could already predict her failure.
Ye Jian glanced at her once and then ignored her. After cutting the snake, she placed it on some clean leaves and passed it to the instructors. “The female student got scared by the snake. We should finish this quickly.”
There was something weird about Ye Ying’s gaze. When she got frightened, she didn’t look away immediately. Instead, she seemed frustrated. Was it because she didn’t manage to carry out her plan?
