Chapter 1252: The Ash-faced Water Ghost
To best understand a person’s situation, the most direct way was to make conversation. Although it seems like a normal conversation, as long as the other party could answer your question, you would be able to get the information you want even if the other party said a few ambiguous words.
Without a doubt, Big Whale was a good conversationalist. He first praised Ye Jian and gave her a friendly impression. Then, he laughed and said that the reason why she was so good was that she had similar training in the past. Otherwise, why would she deal with these clams?
Most importantly, the questions he asked were rough but detailed. He only asked how you knew how to handle a clam. He didn’t mention any training at all. It was impossible to tell that he was investigating someone.
Ye Jian’s gaze turned serious when she heard this. The smile on her face didn’t change as she replied casually, “I went to the seaside for a while and stayed on the deserted island for a few nights.”
The calm reply made Big Whale burst into laughter. The female soldier was very vigilant. Her answer was as if she had not answered. She even told him that she knew what he wanted to ask.
“Please forgive me. It’s a habit.” As he spoke, his laughter got softer. He moved closer to Ye Jian and said softly, “We can find out anything we want about those soldiers that are running over. Our captain was so angry because he didn’t know what their original military units taught them. They didn’t have any sense of confidentiality. Unlike you, you knew what I wanted the moment I opened my mouth.”
Big Whale was born and raised on the beach. His skin was tanned and there was a metallic luster in the faint morning sun. When he laughed, his white teeth reminded Ye Jian of a great white shark. If she was a little careless, she would be bitten by him.
“As soon as you open your mouth, I feel that there are traps everywhere.” Ye Jian sliced the white and tender fish until it was as thin as the wings of a cicada. She didn’t even need to look at the fish. She raised her head and finished cutting the fish as she spoke.
The dagger that was used for combat flashed past Big Whale’s eyes. He felt a chill down his spine when he saw the half-smile on her face.
It was true that female soldiers were beautiful, but they were like poisonous flowers that couldn’t be touched.
There was no point in asking anymore. He believed that he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of her.
Big Whale, whose intention had been exposed, didn’t look embarrassed at all. He replied calmly, “No, no. We will be training together in the future so I wanted to understand you more.”
Ye Jian smiled but didn’t say anything. The male soldiers who were behind her came back one after another. Big Whale pretended to be calm but he felt a little awkward in his heart. He stood up and said, “I’ll go over and take a look. You don’t have to finish them all by yourself. Ask them to come and handle some. You can’t let the male soldiers live off without doing any work. They will get used to it.”
The other frogmen glanced at each other. They had a new understanding of the new female soldier.
Big Whale was the team’s exclusive source of information. There was nothing he couldn’t find out. However, he had never left empty-handed after saying a few words.
The female soldier sent by the army couldn’t be underestimated.
Ye Jian didn’t want to leave any impression on the water ghosts. She just knew that she didn’t like being asked about!
If there was an inkling of it, she must stifle it to death.
“Demon King, the matter could not be settled.” Big Whale used the excuse of leaving and came to Li Jinnian, who was sitting on the reef and looking out at the sea. He said with a serious expression, “She even warned me that she didn’t like me making inquiries.”
