Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

"Demon King, it hasn't been easy for Azure Bird! Every step she takes now is extremely important. She has to be careful with every step she takes. Don't forget that someone doesn't want her to survive at all. They don't want her to become capable!"

Li Jinnian's heart felt like it was being hammered again and again. He even held his breath. His expression darkened as he pursed his thin lips tightly.

"I don't want anyone to deny her hard work. I don't want her to be framed in the future, nor do I want her hard work to be ruined! I won't allow the pain she suffered in the past to repeat itself."

Hence, he would rather be cruel now than have her be criticized in the future!

Li Jinnian's breathing was very rapid. He panted as if he had lost oxygen and could suffocate at any time.

Li Jinnian's eyes, which were bloodshot from the sweat, stared fixedly at Xia Jinyuan. Xia Jinyuan's words were like a hammer pressing down on his heart. Li Jinnian, whose heart was a mess, asked, "What else has my sister experienced in the past?!"

"I only know that Ye Zhifan's family was very bad to her. As for how bad it was, she only told me that it's all in the past and there's no need to mention it again."

"Xia Jinyuan, please tell me what my sister has experienced!" His cold voice was like a sword that swept out with sharpness. "I really want to know. Please tell me."

The man in front of him who had accompanied his cousin for seven years knew too many things that his family did not. If he wanted to know what kind of environment his cousin had lived in in the past, he could only find out through Xia Jinyuan.

To ask his cousin about her past… was too cruel. The wound that had finally healed would be torn open again, revealing bloody and painful memories. It was too cruel to do that to his cousin.

The reason why Xia Jinyuan suddenly mentioned Ye Jian's past was that he wanted to use kinship to completely get rid of the last shadow in Ye Jian's eyes.

Past and present lives?

He did not believe in having a previous life. He only believed that she must have experienced pain that he did not know about in the past.

"She experienced a lot. If you want to know, I'll tell you about it over time. If I tell you now, it'll wake her up." Xia Jinyuan nodded calmly. He would not go back on his word. "I can tell you, but you can't tell Azure Bird. If she doesn't bring up these matters herself, I don't ask her about them.

"But you're her cousin and her family member. You already know a little about her past. If you know more, you'll know how difficult it was for her to get to where she is today.

"My cruelty and her persistence are the reason why we've been together until now. Demon King, she and I still need to continue walking side by side. I want her to focus on her goal and achieve it without any distractions."

'My cruelty and her persistence are the reason why we've been together until now…' These words struck Li Jinnian's heart, making him unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

The wind blew past the leaves, bringing about a rustling sound that made one's heart calm down. When it blew past his face, it was as if the dust in his eyes was blown away. His mind suddenly cleared up.
