Chapter 1147

(Unedited)



The next day…

The names of the volunteers and those that were drafted into the army appeared on the town's bulletin boards, everyone showed pity and at the same time admiration in their eyes. They pity those young people that are caught and were forced to be drafted into the army and admire those that are brave enough to enter the army on their own.

Right now, on the list, there are around 300 plus names written on the board.

The office of the town's civil officials is now filled with people and families of those that were forcibly drafted into the army.

They wanted to plead to spare their family members, but the town officials turn a deaf ear towards their pleadings.



Xin Manor

The eyes of Xin Jong are a bit cloudy as he tries to control the tears in his eyes from falling. Beside him, Yao Xue is already crying her heart out as she wanted to go out and find Xin Ja. She did not want him to join the army and sacrifice himself. She was too afraid for him.

She has finally found a family that is good to her and now she would be losing someone that she has already considered as her real brother. So… how could she feel at ease?

As the two are feeling pained, they noticed a small black creature running towards them.

"Xuanlong! *Sob… *sob… Where… where have you been…" Yao Xue said while wiping her tears.

Then Xin Jong noticed a small tube hanging on Xuanlong's back. He carefully takes it and then opens it. He then saw a scroll inside of the pinky-size tube.

'Papa and Yao Xue… I know that you will be worried about me, so wrote this letter to you two. Papa, you know I can take care of myself so you don't have to worry too much… In fact, I am more worried about you and Yao Xue… So I just wanted to say that you two should not be concerned too much… and trust me to come back… okay? I love you both… By the way, I will leave Xuanlong to protect Yao Xue and so that you will not miss me when you see her…'

The letter ended here and the expression of both Yao Xue and Xin Jong became a bit complicated.

Upon thinking further a slight smile appears on his face. He knew that his son became sensible after all these years. Instead of using the Mule, he used Xuanlong to deliver the letter. The reason for this is maybe because he is inside a place where many people are present. So if they saw him using the Mule then that would be like attracting trouble, right?

Xin Jong could not help but show a slight smile on his face… he could somewhat feel confidence in his heart right now.



In the Yao family

Ever since receiving the message from the town's guards that Yao Mai Lin was forcefully drafted into the army, the expression of her mother and father turned grave. Their talented daughter was caught outside at that unexpected time… so how could they feel at ease.

With sad expressions on their faces, they tried to plead with the Yao family patriarch. However hopeless it would be, they still could not let their daughter be in the army.

Upon hearing their pleading, the expression of the Yao family patriarch turned serious.

"Your daughter is talented… it is an honor to serve the kingdom!" he said in a cold tone.

Upon hearing this, both of Yao Mai Lin's parents could not help but shed their tears. They knew that it is futile, but still, in their hearts, they wanted to have hope.

"Prepare her things… the army will be leaving tomorrow." The patriarch said while making Yao Mai Lin's mother cry more.

This same kind of scene could be seen in every household of those that were forced to volunteer. The town has a heavy atmosphere as family members bade their farewells and show their reluctance to this matter.

But everyone has already accepted the fact that he is the reality of things now and that their sons, daughters, husbands, or wives are going to war.



The next day early morning… Outside of the town's army barracks…

Three figures could be seen standing along with a line of people while waiting for their chance to enter.

These three are Qing Joming, Tung Jo, and Rou Chenchen.

When they were able to enter the barracks they were sent to a place where many people are waiting. It did not take long for them to wait as they saw a familiar figure sitting behind a table while a woman wearing a veiled hat and the familiar figure of Xin Jong sitting on the opposite side.

"Uncle!…" Qing Joming and the two greeted.

When seeing his friends, Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face.

He is currently wearing an army robe making him look a bit valiant and heroic just like any soldier.

"You guys visited me… Well, at least I can say goodbye to you before we leave…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

At this time, Rou Chenchen is already crying while looking very sad.

Qing Joming and Tung Jo have the same sad expression on their faces.

"Guys… Take care of Chenchen for me…" Xin Ja said with a smile.

"No… *Sob… *sob… You should take care of yourself instead… War is very dangerous… please… please do not be a hero, okay? Just come back to us… *Sob…" Rou Chenchen suddenly said while crying.

Upon seeing this, Xin Jong showed a faint smile on his face. He could tell that there is something between his son and this young lady.

But he did not say anything and just watched on the side. Meanwhile, Yao Xue also scrutinized the young woman behind her veiled hat.

Seeing that the young lady is not that pretty but has a kind temperament on her, she heaves a calm sigh in her heart. At least she knew that the woman that her little brother likes is not some beautiful temptress.

She actually likes the naivety in the young woman's expression.

The group chatted for a while when someone walks towards their group. That figure is someone they recognized.

"Senior Yao… it… It is you! How?" Qing Joming said.

"How could you be here? And that… that uniform… Don't tell me?" Qing Joming added while gawking at Yao Mai Lin's figure.

She is wearing a white officer's robe as she also displays a heroic disposition.

But what baffled them is how she is in this place. Did she volunteer or was she caught? It was too baffling for the trio to see their senior in this place.

"Hihi… Well, I was caught outside… It was Xin Ja who was helping me at that time…" she said while looking at the group.

"Uncle… I'm sorry for implicating Xin Ja. If not for helping me, then… then he would not be in here." She added while she cupped her hands and bowed.

When the group heard that, they did not know how to react. They knew of Xin Ja's character and know what kind of person he is. Since h helped Senior Yao, then they would not blame her.

"Do not fret about this young lady… By the way… may I know your name?" Xin Jong asked.

"I am Yao Mai Lin, a senior of Ogden Academy…" she introduced.

When Xin Jong heard that, he could not help but take a glance at Yao Xue who is sitting beside him.

He could tell that Yao Xue is looking at the young woman and there seems to be a complicated emotion inside of her making her body quiver unconsciously.

"I do not blame you for this… My son has a good heart. I could only ask you to protect him when the time comes…" Xin Jong said with a nod.

"Do not worry uncle, I will…" Yao Mai Lin said with determination written all over her beautiful face.

Then someone called her, upon seeing the group who called her, her expression changes.

"Will you excuse me for a bit…" she said as she turn around and left.

Xin Ja looks at the group who called her and a frown appears on his face. Those are her teammates in the War Games, even the coach and the rest are there.

Xin Ja could not help but heave a deep sigh as he also stood up.

"Papa… I will go there for a bit." He said while pointing at the group of people where Yao Mai Lin is heading to.

The hall right now is filled with people, and Xin Ja is a bit small, so he was not noticed by that group as he follows behind Yao Mai Lin.

As soon as Yao Mai Lin reaches the group voice of concern could already be heard from the people around her. But she did not say anything. She just looks at them and then when her gaze landed on Wing Cao Jun it turned cold.

Wing Cao Jun seem to not notice this and showed a faint smile on his handsome face.
