When they met rivers, they would tighten their backpack and made sure that their bullets and guns were well protected. Then, they would enter the river which might have unknown dangers waiting for them and swim across it.

When they came out of the river, it was already dark. They found a marshland and rested with their wet clothes.

There was no fire here. There was no hot water too so the food they ate was all raw. They could eat mushrooms and wild fruits. They were even willing to eat raw meat to fill up their stomachs.

Ye Jian never complained about the hardships. She never took a step back too. She was someone who always moved forward as she chased after the sun.

They walked through many mountains and climbed many cliffs. Finally, they managed to finish more than ten forms of training.

The journey was dangerous but they didn’t get hurt. This was the first time Ye Jian came to a forest. So without Principal Chen’s experiences, she knew that she wouldn’t be able to leave this place alive.

However, she got used to the environment in the forest quickly. There were some accidents in the first half a month but after that, she was able to move through the forest like a leopard.

When they came out of the forest in May, they looked like two barbarians.

“Do you have any decent clothes?” The climate in Beihai was pleasant. Grandpa Gen was in good health. He looked at the two people wearing tattered clothes in front of him and sighed. “You looked like a pair of beggars coming out to beg for food. If you aren’t clean enough, no one will be willing to fetch you.”

Ye Jian put down her backpack. She laughed and replied, “You’re right. When we boarded the bus just now after leaving the mountain, everyone on the bus thought that we were beggars.”

Grandpa Gen rented a room in a holiday resort near Beihai. He paid a hefty sum of money every month for the rent so that he could wait for Ye Jian and Principal Chen to come out.

Ye Jian rested in the holiday resort until her mosquito bites were all healed. Then, she recuperated her body using a medicated bath. She waited till her skin was fair and smooth again before returning to Fujun Town.

There were still 20 days before the final exam. After Ye Jian returned to Fujun Town, she appeared in the Class One Grade Ninth the next day.

When she was in the ninth grade last time, her classmates were still in the eighth grade.

She was a level higher than them but when the teacher led her into the classroom, all the students turned quiet.

After some time, they started discussing among themselves.

“Isn’t this… Ye Jian? Why is she here?”

“She tore the notification letter in front of the vice-principal last time. Is she repeating a year?”

“Really? That’s impossible! Even if she wanted to repeat the year, she should have done it a year ago.”

The form teacher of the class received an order from her superior so she just smiled and introduced Ye Jian. “Everyone, please be quiet. This is Ye Jian. I’m sure that all of you know her. She’ll be part of our class from now on. Please welcome her back.”

The applause was extremely loud. The students were all curious about this legendary senior.

After the applause ended, the form teacher smiled again. “If you have any questions about your schoolwork, you can ask Ye Jian. I’m sure that she’ll be able to help you even though she left school for one year.”

Even after she left for a year, Ye Jian was still a good student in the eyes of the teachers from Fujun Town.
