Tang Shengkai's hearing was excellent now, and he was pondering Xu Hongchang's words. He also felt that the battalion commander's words made sense. However, if it weren't for his spiritual power, they wouldn't have survived until now.

The opportunities and good fortune they have now are also an opportunity and good fortune for China.

Tang Shengkai held his daughter's hand and said, "Daughter, what Battalion Commander Xu said is both right and wrong."

Tang Yue hadn't figured it out yet when she heard her father say that, she looked directly at him.

“Daughter, if your father hadn’t cultivated spiritual power, he would have been dead long before you found him. So, having an extra skill is definitely useful for a person.”

"Daughter, don't worry about it. Just be yourself. Our goal has never been to go to war and kill enemies; our goal has always been to protect our family, hasn't it?"

Tang Yue suddenly felt a sense of clarity. At the same time, a voice in her mind was clamoring that what her father said might not be right either. Moreover, judging from her father's expression, it seemed that he had said those words against his will.

After enlisting, they developed deep connections with the military and the country, and they can no longer stand by and watch their nation be destroyed. So, does the method matter?

Isn't protecting this country the most important thing? Isn't ensuring that ordinary people can live peaceful and safe lives, and have enough to eat every day, the most important thing?

Tang Yue's big eyes were bright. Everyone has different beliefs, but as long as they share the same common goal, that's enough.

"Yes, Dad, I understand. Don't worry, Dad, I am Tang Yue, and I will only be myself."

Tang Shengkai smiled and reached out to pat her little head. "Yes, my daughter will always be the best."

Xu Hongchang's point is valid, but everyone's situation is different. If their daughter hadn't awakened her cultivation abilities, their family would no longer exist. Who would be left to uphold those principles then?

After seizing the enemy's supplies, the group left immediately. Xiao Mohe and his two siblings, who had been at the very back, were completely unaware of what had happened ahead. Now, as they were about to leave the deep mountains, they were all filled with trepidation.

"Brother, do you think they might send us all back to Panyun County again?"

Xiao Mohe covered Xiao Moyu's mouth with his hand. Only after Xiao Moyu nodded did Xiao Mohe release his hand.

"As long as we don't tell anyone, no one will know where we come from. Understand?"

Xiao Moyu and Xiao Moyan nodded. Xiao Moyan was conflicted. "But, big brother, shouldn't we go back and see Grandma?"

Xiao Mohe remembered what his grandmother had said when they were secretly sent away, "Dahe, remember, only when you are not by my side can I live. You must live well. No matter how great the difficulties you encounter, don't be afraid, grit your teeth and get through it. It will all pass. Do you understand?"

"Grandma can only live if we are not by her side."

Xiao Moyan had heard this sentence countless times, but she still didn't understand. Why? Why did those people have to tear them apart? And what had her uncle, aunt, and parents done wrong? Why were they killed by those people?

Xiao Moyan's tears rolled down like beads from a broken string, and warm liquid dripped onto the back of her hand before Xiao Mohe came back to his senses.

He wiped away his sister's tears and said, "Sister, don't cry. We must live well. When we are strong and no longer afraid of them, we will go back and bring Grandma back."

Xiao Moyan nodded, her voice choked with emotion. Xiao Moyu remained silent throughout, listening with red-rimmed eyes.

The three of them thought they were speaking very quietly, but the people around them were not ordinary people, and more than one person heard what they said.

Tang Yue's eyebrows furrowed; she had a bold guess. But was it really just a coincidence? If so, then they truly were destined to be together.

Chang Yin stood still, waiting for Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai to catch up. After walking a short distance, Chang Yin looked ahead and asked, "What came to mind?"

Tang Yue also looked straight ahead, "I think it's the same as what the battalion commander was thinking. Besides, I also saved their grandmother."

Chang Yin glanced at Tang Yue, realizing he'd never heard her mention this before. He suddenly remembered that Tang Yue had gone out for a while after assigning them tasks, and when she returned, she was caught in a gunfight. Things had been going on ever since, and he'd completely forgotten about it.

Tell me more.

"There's nothing to say."

Seeing that Chang Yin kept staring at her, Tang Yue finally had no choice but to tell Chang Yin about how she saved Old Lady Qin Diao.

"Battalion Commander, after we get out, send someone to Panyun County to investigate. Before we went there, it must have been very chaotic there. If Grandma Qin really has three grandchildren, I think these three are probably the ones."

I remember that Grandma Qin thought her grandchildren were all gone, which is why she took her own life.

"Hmm." Chang Yin felt very heavy-hearted after hearing this. He didn't know what had happened to this country, or why it had suddenly become like this.

Sometimes he even doubted whether he was right to remain so steadfast.

"What's wrong, Battalion Commander?"

Chang Yin was pulled back to his senses, but he naturally wouldn't share such thoughts with a child. However, once he returned to the capital, he thought he should have a proper talk with his grandfather.

The journey was peaceful after that. Once they left the Qinling Mountains, the roads became very rugged. However, they didn't encounter anyone else. They seized a considerable amount of explosives from enemy agents. It seems they were prepared to die trying.

If it weren't for them, it would really be hard to say who would win or lose.
