Just as he and his sister reached downstairs, a knock sounded at the door.
Chen Shouyi opened the door, and a group of soldiers came in. The leading officer, a captain, said solemnly, "Chief Advisor Chen, according to wartime temporary regulations and Martial Artist discipline rules, you have been drafted."
Chen Shouyi felt a heavy weight in his heart; in fact, when he heard the knocking, he already had some suspicion.
Martial Artists have always been quasi-military personnel. Once it's wartime, they have the obligation of mandatory conscription, though this rule doesn't manifest during peacetime, and no Martial Artists are drafted. Now, it's evidently the most critical time.
Chen Shouyi looked at the soldiers, who were mere ordinary people, and felt silent in his heart. From their faces, he could see their unease and fear, but more so, their determination and resolve.
