Chapter 1257: You Have Your Duty
Ye Jian continued, “I came from the army and I’m a female soldier at the same time. Everyone will be surprised that I suddenly came to train under Demon King Li. Everyone knows how strict Demon King Li’s training is. It’s so difficult that it even shocks male soldiers.”
“Vice-Captain, I understand your concerns. That’s why I never asked you what training you need me to undergo or where you’re bringing me to. I will obey all the arrangements the unit has made for me and try my best not to bring unnecessary trouble to the team.”
“Just now, you said that you still need to give me a test and I followed you immediately. I think that I have already used my actions to tell you that my arrival will not cause trouble for the unit. I will not let the unit worry about me too. I will heed the same arrangements the unit makes for the male soldiers.”
“Ever since I knew that I needed to train in the frogmen unit, I never thought of doing anything special in the team, and I never thought of leaving so easily in the face of difficulties.”
“In my heart, I always thought that what a male soldier can do, as a female soldier, I can do it too. Also, if I work hard and climb up the ranks, I will never drag the team down or embarrass them.”
Ye Jian’s intention was clear. She hoped that the male soldiers wouldn’t look at her as if she was a female soldier. She didn’t want them to think that she was weak and needed the male soldiers to take care of her.
Big Shark understood what she meant. As Ye Jian spoke, his expression turned serious. After she finished speaking, Big Shark knew that he made a huge mistake.
He underestimated this proud female soldier!
Standing in the sea, he straightened his back and said in a deep voice, “I’m very sorry, Ye Jian. I apologize for my arrogance! Please forgive my ignorance!”
“Vice-Captain, you’re being too serious. It’s understandable that you have some misunderstandings as you don’t understand me.” Ye Jian smiled. Unfair things happened in the military unit too. There were bad people but up until now, she had only met soldiers with integrity.
They would change when they made mistakes and walked the talk. They were all good men.
She turned around and looked at Big Whale who was getting gradually uncomfortable. She smiled and said, “I thought that you came to test me. I didn’t take what happened in the morning to heart.”
“Although you didn’t take it to heart, I still need to apologize to you.” Her words made Big Whale heave a sigh of relief. He said slowly in a low voice, “I shouldn’t have probed you this morning. I’m sorry, Ye Jian.”
Sometimes, Ye Jian would feel helpless about their honesty. She waved her hand and said, “You have your responsibilities. You don’t have to apologize to me. If you misunderstand my actions, I should be the one apologizing to you.
“Why don’t we just stop here? There’s no need to mention it anymore. Look, we’ve already wasted a few minutes standing here. Let’s get down to business first.”
Ye Jian was good at handling important matters, not to mention some small matters that she didn’t take to heart. Seeing that the two of them didn’t seem to have recovered from their serious expressions, she decided to walk in the water.
The moment she took a step, the two of them reacted immediately and said in unison, “Don’t deviate!”
Ye Jian stopped in her tracks immediately. She looked up at the vice-captain, who was only an arm’s length away from her. He said in a low voice, “There’s sea defense below.”
