"I have decided to go National Defense Academy and I've already passed the assessment exams" Mu Xiu finally disclosed
"What! Mu Xiu how you take make kind of decision without informing me and even your dad supported you" Ling Rui who was the first to react questioned obviously hurt
"I'm sorry Mu Xiu but I will not allow my daughter to be part of the special forces, do you know how dangerous that line of work is? No I won't allow you to go" Ling Rui said, even the thought of it was enough to make her terrified she stood up and left signifying that it was the end of the discussion.
"Mu Xiu I also agree with Mom on this matter you are our little sister if something were to happen to you I'm not sure that we will be able to handle it especially Mom" Mu Feng stated siding with his mother
"Yes sister I also agree with second brother and it's not like we can't afford to take care of you we are your brothers you just have to rely on us, our sister is meant to be pampered and treasured" Mu Xiao said showing the seriousness he usually lacked which surprised Mu Xiu
"But I don't want to rely on someone all my life I also want to be strong by myself and I want to be worthy of this family and mostly I'm doing this for myself so I won't back down" she said firmly
"I'm going to talk to Mom" she added them she left for her mother's room
"Dad you supported her plans why is that?" Mu Ling asked, although he had been silent all this while but it didn't mean that he agreed with his sister's plan because that place isn't an easy place they train you but you will have to serve your country even if it includes going on life threatening missions and he was sure that his father knew all these things even better than him but he still allowed and supported her he wants to know why.
"Mu Ling your sister is an adult and I also tried to convince her but she was adamant. After everything that has happened to her I was shocked to know that she wanted to go to the National Defense Academy so it means that she wants to become stronger mentally and physically and I'm proud of her thinking. She also wants to be successful and add to the family and she doesn't want to rely on this family all her life, although I have no problem with supporting her all her life but deep down I still want her to stand firmly on her own without the support of anyone. I want her to be independent so she won't feel inferior to any one of you when we stand together as a family so I allowed and supported her and even if there's any danger we would shield her from it" he explained slowly, the three brothers immediately understood what their father was saying to them. They all thought of taking care of her but they never thought of how their sister would feel relying on them it will make her look useless and render her weak and with what had happened to her it will strange if she didn't want to rely on herself.
"Dad we understand now, don't worry we won't make things difficult for Mu Xiu anymore" Mu Ling said in understanding, the others also nodded their heads in agreement
"Alright let's go help your sister persuade your mom I'm sure she's having a hard time"
he said to his sons with a sigh, together they went to long Rui. When they got there, they saw their mother crying and shaking her head Mu Xiu was trying to persuade her with words but Ling Rui stood on her ground and refused to listen to anything Mu Xiu had say.
