"Grandma is worried about your safety," Jie Jingshan said.
Qin Mei chimed in, "Xiangjiang isn't very peaceful right now."
"I've practiced martial arts since I was little. If my eldest aunt hadn't forbidden it, I would have joined the army," Xu Jiali muttered.
Qin Mei looked at Xu Jiali with a complicated expression. 'Joining the army in Xiangjiang, while Jie Jingchen is a soldier in Huaxia... It would be a miracle if Grandma ever let her enlist.'
"Let's sneak out. I'll take you to eat delicious food, take you out for some fun, take you to..." Xu Jiali tempted them.
Qin Mei was swayed. With just a little more convincing from Xu Jiali, she might have agreed.
"I'm not going." Jie Jingshan shook her head.
"Why not? What are you afraid of?" Xu Jiali gave Jie Jingshan a little shove.
