3134 Shocking

Ye Jian had never wanted to complete something perfectly before. She didn’t know why she was so infatuated with the ancient song, Ambush on Ten Sides…

After that, Ye Jian learned from Xu Wen diligently. She treated ‘sword dance’ as a compulsory subject and studied it seriously. That energy made Xu Wen nervous. She was afraid that she would make a mistake and become a sinner.

Ye Jian didn’t spend a long time learning the movements. She passed it almost in one go and remembered every move clearly. In the end, before Xu Wen’s lute arrived, Ye Jian could already dance the entire set of movements skillfully.

“When the two soldiers fought, their voices shook the world. The roofs of the houses seemed to fall…” Ye Jian bent down and stabbed horizontally with her sword as she muttered softly. Her gaze was vicious as if she had returned to the battlefield.

On the battlefield, she was fighting alongside her comrade, J5. She heard J5 shouting at her, “Sniper, kill the target in the six o’clock direction! Hurry!”

Bang!

The sound of bullets shook the world, and the roof fell.

“Listen carefully. There’s the sound of gold, drums, swords, and crossbows. But at the same time, it’s silent. Those who have held grudges for a long time can’t understand it. It’s the sound of…” Ye Jian’s footsteps changed abruptly. She jumped into the air, and the long sword in her hand trembled. It seemed like it would be broken into pieces by Ye Jian.

Amidst the sound of gunfire, her comrades cooperated and protected each other. They passed through the rain of guns and bullets, breaking through the blockade at the fastest speed.

Some people said that there was no war. Wrong! That was a huge mistake!

The war of this era was not something one could see or hear! It was not something one could know!

Some people said that there were no sacrifices. Wrong! That was a huge mistake!

How could there be peace without sacrifice?

“The sad and strong will sing for the king and bid farewell to the concubines…” Ye Jian lowered her waist, turned around, and stabbed the sword with the support of her long legs. The sword trembled and clanged.

The invisible sacrifices, tragedy, danger, and darkness were all because… there were people protecting them!

Sacrifice… Only the closest comrades and the person closest to the ones sacrificed could bear the sorrow. As for the average person, they would continue to live a peaceful life and grow old with the people they loved. The person who was sacrificed was destined to have no fate with the person they loved.

Ye Jian completed the song and dance for the first time.

Xu Wen, who was watching from the side, stood motionless. Unknowingly, tears streamed down her face…

Ye Jian retracted her sword and adjusted her breathing. After the song ended, she closed her eyes and slowly suppressed the emotions in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, they were calm.

She asked Xu Wen, “How is it? Did I make any mistakes?”

Applause sounded. Song Zhiqiu stood up from the piano and looked at Ye Jian with a complicated gaze. He replied, “No, you got it right.”

It was too shocking. He didn’t expect Ye Jian, who didn’t have any dancing skills, to be able to dance to such a high level. The blade of the sword flashed, and the sound of war drums was heart-stirring.

At first, he thought that there would be some accidents when she danced the song for the first time. However, from the beginning to the end, there were no accidents at all. He saw her wholeheartedness and her perfect coordination.

His agitated heart still couldn’t calm down for a long time. It was as if something was struggling to break through that shackle, but he remained this helpless until the song ended.

“Ye Jian, your performance won’t be rejected. You’ll definitely be selected,” Song Zhiqiu told Ye Jian firmly.
