Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Xia Jinyuan was a military man with acute instincts and sharp observation. He must have noticed something before he reached out to stop Ye Jian.

In this case, there’s no need for Ye Jian to hide. Speaking out her mind would better diminish his suspicion of her.

“It’s normal for people to hold grudges momentarily. But I believe that you are smart enough not to let down Grandpa Gen or Uncle Chen because of someone unimportant,” said Xia Jinyuan. He was relieved to see that Ye Jian did not have a gloomy and depressed expression anymore.

He stopped grasping her thin shoulders. With a gentle smile, he said, “Whoever has made mistakes will be punished. Although the punishment might be trivial, it will make everyone realize what kind of a person she is, which is a good thing for you.”

Ye Ying wanted to compare with Ye Jian in every aspect, didn’t she? In this case, she might as well experience humiliation and what it felt like to be detested by everyone.

Like a wake-up call, his words dispelled the shadow in Ye Jian’s mind. As she narrowed her eyes, she exhaled subtly. She nearly lost herself just now.

“I’m alright. Captain Xia, please hide because I don’t want to explain too much to her. After all, she asked Liao Jian to spy on us,” said Ye Jian. Before Xia Jinyuan could respond, she had crossed through the bushes, approaching the Mountain God Temple.

Leaves were rustling. Hiding behind a tree, Ye Ying leaned back smoothly. And then, she crept towards the back of the Mountain God Temple to hide.

“You fell intentionally and you disappeared on purpose. Ye Ying, how many tricks you are going to play?”

Suddenly, a voice was heard from behind, which made Ye Ying freeze all over. There was a panicked look in her eyes.

With a faint smile, Ye Jian looked at the panic-stricken Ye Ying. “You’ve made tremendous efforts to frame me by placing my water bottle by the creek. But your hiding place was so close to the village, which was not challenging at all for me to find you.”

A myriad of footsteps was heard from below. The teachers were telling the students to be careful while climbing the mountain.

Obviously, they were heading to the Mountain God Temple.

Terrified, Ye Ying glared at Ye Jian with her reddened eyes, which were brimmed with intense hatred. “I did these on purpose?! Ha, you are good at talking nonsense!”

She didn’t retreat anymore. Instead, she went forward and stood beside Ye Jian. Arrogantly, she lifted her chin. “Why would I do these on purpose? It was me who fell over and was scalded! Disappeared? I am right here!”

From the corner of her eye, Ye Ying vaguely saw the teachers and students behind the green trees. Heart racing, she blinked. “Ye Jian, why are you stalking me? What are you up to? Aren’t you satisfied that I was scalded because of you last night? What else do you want?” she said in a trembling tone as if she was scared.

“Ye Ying, explain why you fabricating meeting Ye Jian last night.” said Mrs. Zhu, who had arrived by stepping on the bushes. She glared at Ye Ying with an extremely stern look. “As for the reason why Ye Jian has come to this place, as a teacher, I can explain that to you!”

Tens of students were standing behind Mrs. Zhu. Everyone was frowning while watching Ye Ying who had told a series of lies. From the look in their eyes, they were doubting Ye Ying’s character.
