Chang Yin had been thinking about this for a long time. He'd had this idea ever since Tang Yue started training the greenhorns of the Fourth Company. And it only grew stronger after Xu Zhenfei enlisted.

In the Qinling Mountains, Tang Yue finally shared her secret with everyone. She had personally experienced the benefits of cultivation and hoped that the children of the Chang family could also try it.

However, he also knew that cultivation was something that couldn't be publicized. She wouldn't be willing to associate with anyone who wasn't related to Tang Yue. Besides, without Tang Yue's presence, they wouldn't be able to succeed in their cultivation.

Don't ask Chang Yin why he said that. It was just his intuition. He felt that if Tang Yue wasn't around, even if they heard about this cultivation method, they wouldn't practice it, and they wouldn't be able to succeed in it.

Although this matter has not been verified, Chang Yin believes that his intuition is absolutely correct.

"Grandpa, do you know Tang Yue?"

Grandpa Chang nodded. Chang Yin had mentioned this child to him before, and he admired how such a young child could accomplish so much. At the same time, he was also impressed by the talented people of each generation.

"Now, Tang Yue isn't the only child from the South Island who has enlisted. Commander Kang's idea is to form a child soldier company."

Grandpa Chang slammed his hand on the table. "Nonsense."

Chang Yin had thought that her grandfather would disagree, but fortunately the South Island Legion was not under her grandfather's command.

“Grandpa, I don’t think this is a bad thing. In fact, I have a feeling that in the future, this scout corps will bring unparalleled glory to the South Island Corps.”

Chang Yin spoke with immense pride, his expression changing drastically. Grandpa Chang had never seen his eldest grandson so emotionally expressive. It was clear that there were things he was completely unaware of.

It's likely that Chang Yin was acting in Chang Xuan's best interest. Chang Xuan will naturally join the army when he grows up; the descendants of the Chang family are all meant to serve the country. But Chang Xuan is only 10 years old now, and his second son's wife dotes on him; how could she possibly agree to this?

“Your second aunt had a son late in life, she won’t agree to let Changxuan be taken away at such a young age.”

Chang Yin had thought of all of this. "Grandpa, Auntie and the others aren't home today. How about we practice in the yard tomorrow morning?"

Grandpa Chang glared at him, annoyed. "I'm already an old man, and you still want to train with me?"

Chang Yin shook his head, "Chang Yin is here."

Grandpa Chang waved his hand at him, "Alright, go back and rest. Your mother will probably introduce you to a few potential partners. Go and meet them when you have time; you're not getting any younger."

Often hidden...

Even his grandfather, who doesn't usually get involved in family matters, is starting to pressure him to get married? Chang Yin felt like he was having a really tough time.

However, he genuinely had no intention of finding a wife. He was perfectly fine as he was. Chang Yin was already married and had children, so why was his grandfather still pressuring him?

After having dinner, Tang Yue and Tang Shengkai took a stroll around the area near the military district guesthouse.

"Honey, why did we change military regions twice today?"

Tang Yue didn't know either; once she arrived at the military region, she stopped using her consciousness to spy on things. This was all Chinese national secrets, and Tang Yue didn't want to know. Her only goal was for her family to live a peaceful life; she genuinely didn't want to concern herself with anything else.

However, even if she doesn't want to get involved, there are already so many things. If she hears something she shouldn't, should she intervene or not? If she doesn't, she'll feel guilty; if she does intervene? Ugh, what a hassle!

"Dad, we don't need to worry about any of this. We can just stay here and rest for a few days."

Tang Shengkai held Tang Yue's hand and looked up at the starry sky. "Sigh! I wonder what your mother is doing now? I really hope we can go back soon. I wasn't there for your mother when she gave birth, I'm so sorry."

Tang Yue...

She won't respond to this, will she? Her father has said it more than once these past few days. It seems she really feels guilty towards her mother. But she can't persuade her; she's just a five-year-old child, okay?

After not hearing any sound from his daughter for a while, Tang Shengkai looked down and said, "Daughter, tell me about Xixi."

Thinking of that fair-skinned child, Tang Yue's lips unconsciously curled into a smile. "Yes, very cute. Very fair-skinned, very pretty."

Tang Shengkai...

Every time he asks, his daughter says the same few things. Can't she say something else?

Is there anything else?

Tang Yue turned around in confusion, "Dad, I came out just two days after Mom gave birth, and I was very busy those days. I only had a limited time to see my little brother each day, and I miss him very much now. I also wonder if my older brothers have made it to the first level of Qi Refining."

Tang Shengkai missed them too. He missed everyone in his family. He had never been separated from his family for so long before.

"Yes, I'll ask the battalion commander tomorrow when we can go back. I want to get back as soon as possible."

Tang Yue really wanted to go home, but she felt it wouldn't be that soon. She needed to hurry and find a place to live tomorrow; with so many treasures in her spatial dimension, she needed to figure out a way to properly get them out.

Ugh, this is really troublesome. But being able to get those things out safely makes Tang Yue feel like the pressure on Nandao isn't so great, which is good too.

Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Yue, remembering that she had things to do that evening, tugged at Tang Shengkai's hand. "Dad, everyone has already gone home. Let's hurry back too. Otherwise, the patrol might find us and think something's wrong."

Tang Shengkai took his daughter back to the guesthouse.

Tang Yue had a room to herself. When the room was being booked, the staff was worried that the little girl would be scared sleeping alone in a room. Chen Erniu and the others suppressed their laughter and booked a separate room for Tang Yue.
