Ye Kai didn't care about what the old lady behind him thought as he went to find Ye Cheng. At this moment, Ye Qingyi was also beside him. She looked at Ye Kai with a smile on her face.1

"Father, sister!"

Ye Kai walked up to greet the two of them.

Kai Er, there can be no one guarding the border. I think for a moment, I'll send you to the sect today. Ye Cheng sounded apologetic, he also wanted to stay for a longer period of time to accompany his child. However, as a general, he should be more considerate towards the citizens of the country.

"Father, don't worry. Your son understands and won't blame you." Ye Kai said softly. Sacrificing one's life for the sake of one's country should be respected by the entire world.

Ye Cheng smiled with gratification, "Good, it's good that you understand. Let's set off now!"

The two of them entered the carriage, and Ye Cheng personally drove the carriage.

Although Ye Cheng stayed at the border all year round, many people knew who he was. Hence, along the way, many people cast sidelong glances at him, guessing who was the one that could make the great general personally take over as coachman. Ye Cheng didn't avoid the gazes of outsiders at all, as if he was enjoying this feeling. He owed his children too much. He could only compensate them in the future when he had the chance.

The three of them got off the carriage and looked at the towering mountain in front of them. The mountain was surrounded by clouds and it looked extremely ethereal. Starting halfway up the mountain, there were rows upon rows of giant buildings; this was one of the few major sects in the Kingdom of Yan Wu, the Vermillion Bird Sect. Ye Kai was an outer disciple of this sect.

Ye Kai raised his head and looked at the sky before following Ye Cheng up the mountain.

Outside the mountain gate, Ye Cheng slowly walked over. There was already an old man with a pale face waiting there. When he saw Ye Cheng, he walked up and said, "General Ye has come to my Vermillion Bird Sect."

The old man's voice was calm. Although he was praising Ye Cheng, he didn't have any hint of flattery, making people feel comfortable.

"May I know senior's name?" He had been out for many years, so he wasn't too familiar with these people.

"My name is Shen Ruofeng." He stroked his white beard as he spoke.

"May I know what is the purpose of the general's visit?"

"There's no other reason. My son has always been an outer disciple of the Suzaku Sect, so he came here to see me off." Ye Cheng leaned to the side and brought Ye Kai in front of him. At this time, they were outside the Vermillion Bird Faction's gate. Ye Cheng's loud voice spread far away and many disciples were pointing at Ye Kai.

Ye Kai frowned. He really didn't like to show himself in public, but he knew that the reason Ye Cheng did so was to let these people know that Ye Kai was his son. He wanted them to think about Ye Cheng when they wanted to bully him.

"We were too slow, we didn't know that your child would be here." There was an apologetic tone in the old man's voice, but there was no expression of regret on his face. He was even a bit disgusted with Ye Kai, thinking that he was just an unscrupulous foppish young master who relied on his own family.

The sect is not comparable to an empire, no matter who you are, no matter how prestigious you are, you are treated as the same person here, those with talent will naturally be valued by the elders, and then there will be more resources for cultivation. If you have poor talent, the sect will at most give you some face for your family, and take care of you, giving you some real resources and other things only to those geniuses.
