464 It's Not a Whim, It's Been Long-Planned

What about you?

Those words carried nothing but doubt and distrust.

Mu Xichen understood where Chi Dali was coming from.

He wanted nothing more than a promise from him.

Mu Xichen said clearly and sincerely, "I was brought up by my grandfather. The elders of the Mo family were mostly military men."

This information awed Chi Dali.

The Mo family was much-admired.

He had also been a soldier in his youth, and over the years, his respect for the Mo family had only grown.

Only, he didn't understand. "What has that got to do with what we're discussing?"

Mu Xichen nodded, his posture pencil straight and impressive. He replied steadily in his deep and powerful voice, sounding very official, "Growing up in such a family, I've been taught from young to be responsible—toward myself, my brothers, and the people around me—only then can I protect my country well."
