Who would have thought that Ye Jian would suddenly turn her back?
"Why did you side with Shi Long Kingdom?" Yu Jin asked, her eyes were following Ye Jian closely. Knowing that Ye Jian's specialty has always been hidden weapon, she would never give Ye Jian a chance to threaten her.
Her men had already removed all weapons they could find from Ye Jian, but knowing Ye Jian, she might have kept some unconventional weapons. There were many types for hidden weapons.
There were even times when people would not think that a certain thing could be a weapon and leave it be. For people like Ye Jian who was taught to use variety of weapons with unique shapes, it was her biggest advantage. "It doesn't have to be them as long as they can kill you." Ye Jian's eyes were filled with hatred.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of her, Yu Jin was silent for a moment. She didn't know why Ye Jian hated her so much when the two of them got along well. In fact, Ye Jian also had a lot of power in the Mountain Tribe with her abilities that had been acknowledged by the elders.
Even if she did nothing, she would still be able to live well when she returned to the Mountain Tribe.
But that was not what Ye Jian wanted.
It was far from what she actually wanted. "Why?" Yu Jin asked, her tone was still laced with indifference. Even if there was some feelings between them in the past, right now, there was none of these feelings still present. But Ye Jian didn't seem to care in the slightest bit nor did she seemed to notice what Yu Jin's tone was. She sneered. "You're the most powerful one in the Mountain Tribe, so you have never seen how others have to work hard. I have worked my ***** off just in order to take care of the Mountain Tribe. But I can't never be compared to you.
No one remembered my name. No one even cared whether I'm there or not as long as my work is done.
It's frustrating!
I'm always the invisible one while you're the one in the limelight. I tried to work hard and want to do everything, but I don't think it's worth it anymore. It's better for me to stay far away from you and do what I want…"
Words poured like waterfall from Ye Jian's mouth, venting all of her frustration over the years. She had never liked the administration work and whatsoever that she had to do over the years. But because her ability was not suitable to fight on the frontline, she could only take a step back.
She tried her best to practice like Yu Jin, becoming a person who could fight on the limelight like Yu Jin and also become a capable leader. Every single day, she poured out a lot of sweat, working like crazy when they were young.
She wanted to be Mountain Tribe's leader. Yet, the elders didn't pick her. Instead, they picked Yu Jin, who was only good at fighting and seemed to have nothing else. "Why? Why did they have to pick you and I have to take a step back?" Ye Jian yelled in her frustration, not caring about her image in the slightest bit. The soldiers were all watching from the distance with the same indifferent expression. They were all taught by Yu Jin to never treat those who dared to betray them with the same feelings as they used to have.
Because they all knew that the one who had the most pain is Yu Jin.
Yet, she didn't speak and simply let Ye Jian vented all of her frustration to her. "I have to take a step back and worked on the back. The elders told me that it's the best way for me to use my abilities. I worked every single day until it's late at night, doing chores that you don't bother doing but no one ever remembered me! All they could think is you and you alone…"
Ye Jian couldn't be the leader, which was very frustrating for her back then. She congratulated Yu Jin, but saw that Yu Jin herself didn't seem to be very wiling to take the position.
She knew that very well, but she also worked hard. freёwebnovel.com
