Chapter 18 - He Was Stunning (2/2)

I can manage?

After hearing what she said, the man’s eyes slowly dimmed. This man seldom smiled. For fear that the little girl might be frightened, he smiled specifically to calm her down.

Since he stopped smiling, his thin lips seemed extremely daunting, thus bringing back his chill vibe he had previously restrained.

Ye Jian didn’t avoid his gaze. She saw that coldness was rising gradually from the young soldier’s pitch-black eyes. As his faint smile vanished, he said in a cold and deep tone, “Young girl, it’s easier said than done when it comes to protecting yourself. As for showing the way…”

Xia Jinyuan was aware that the seniors from the mountain usually led the way for the soldiers, but they had never let a teenage girl shoulder such a role.

In his eyes, Ye Jian was indeed just a little girl.

Likewise, in Ye Jian’s eyes, he was merely a young soldier who was around his twenties.

Ye Jian smiled lightly and said, “Major, you should choose to believe me rather than standing here and talking to me.”

The hawk-eyed young Major examined this girl standing upright before him. Moments later, he nodded, as if he was appreciating her, but there was something more in his nodding. He said, “You are very brave.”

He pa.s.sed by Ye Jian and then instructed the rest of the soldiers. “Escort her down the mountain. Close the mountain pa.s.s until the suspects are found.”

Young as he may be, he was a military official with real authority.

But Ye Jian did not concede. She turned around and looked at the straight back of the Major. She smiled gently and said, “I threw the Black Zaocys snake at Brother Kun and it bit him. His life would be in danger if he did not receive medical treatment one hour later. Major, can you find them in one hour?”

Can you find them in one hour? Why did it sound like this girl was threatening me?
