He dwelled on the image of his injured brother-in-law and the words of wisdom imparted by his sister-in-law.
When he heard the utterances of Third Sister-in-law, a surge of determination coursed through him. It was then that the idea of enlisting in the military took root in his mind.
In fact, he had persistently beseeched Qin Silong to instruct him in the ways of martial arts and share his knowledge. His objective was to acquire a deeper skillset prior to his impending military service.
“Do you recall what my third sister-in-law mentioned the other day?”
“Third Sister-in-law is absolutely right! One must safeguard their homeland before they can truly call it a home. A true man is duty-bound to protect his country!”
“Even if it means laying down my life for the sake of the nation, it would be a noble sacrifice. Besides, I am no coward.
“Third Brother, do you oppose my decision to join the military?
Su Bin fixed his gaze upon his younger sibling for a prolonged moment before responding.
“I do not oppose your decision to enlist in the military. I merely wish to remind you that the military world differs significantly from the realm of martial arts.” “You must have heard that in the military, orders are akin to an unyielding mountain. Once you become a part of the military establishment, you must adhere to orders without question, for that is the foremost rule.”
“I am merely concerned about your temperament. When the time comes…”
Su Ping interjected, cutting off Su Bin. “Third Brother, you may not know me as well as you think!”
“Now that I’ve made up my mind to serve in the military, I won’t treat it as a mere pastime!”
“Rest assured, I won’t bring shame to you!”
Su Bin had never witnessed such earnestness in his younger sibling. Regardless of whether Su Bin could follow through on his words, he felt a sense of pride.
Nevertheless, he felt compelled to issue a cautionary note. “Younger Brother, be prepared for hardship once you enter the military camp.”
“I know!”
“I’ve given it considerable thought. It’s true that we shouldn’t return to the Marquis Mansion to acknowledge our kin, but we mustn’t allow ourselves to be looked down upon by those connected to the Marquis Mansion.”
“Third Brother, I know you’re working hard to achieve recognition and help our father earn a livelihood.
“As the eldest son of the family, it’s my duty to consider fighting for our father’s sake.’
“However, I’m not cut out for studying or conducting business. My only viable path is the military camp.”
“If I am unfortunate and meet my end in service to the country, I won’t have any regrets.”
“But if luck favors me and I make a significant contribution, potentially becoming an official, it would bring honor to Father. It would be solace for him in the afterlife.’
“Simultaneously, it would demonstrate to those in the Marquis Mansion that even without the status of the Marquis Mansion’s young master, we can still rise through our own hard work.”
Upon hearing Second Brother’s resolve, Su Bin felt even more heartened.
“Second Brother, I stand by your decision!”
Since Second Brother was determined to join the military camp, Su Bin couldn’t dissuade him.
In truth, Second Brother’s decision might not be a bad one after all.
At the very least, it would detach him from those undesirable acquaintances.
Su Bin wouldn’t need to worry about his younger sibling taking a wayward path.
Su Bin shared this with Qin Zhenzhen.
Qin Zhenzhen smiled genuinely and inquired of Su Bin, “You agree?”
Su Bin responded honestly, “I didn’t initially agree. I was concerned that given
Second Brother’s disposition, he might struggle with the discipline of the
military camp, potentially endangering his lite.”
“But, after listening to Second Brother’s words, I lent him my support.”
“I have a favor to ask of you. If my second brother indeed joins the military camp, could you request your fourth brother to look after him?”
Qin Zhenzhen readily agreed, saying, “Of course!”
She was right. If he was determined to enlist in the military camp, she would ensure he went there under the guidance of her fourth brother.
Once he entered the military camp, it would mark a profound shift in the storyline..
