"Impossible, this is impossible. Grandfather won't die, grandfather is still alive. Big brother, you lied to me, right?" The boy tried his best to raise his head to meet Ye Kai's gaze.1

Ye Kai intentionally looked away, not daring to meet the boy's eyes. His shiny black eyes were like a sharp sword that pierced his heart.

Very soon, mist once again rose in the boy's eyes. His tears were like raindrops as they washed up and rolled down.

He cried and ran to the old man's side, knelt on the ground, shook his body with all his might, and cried: "Grandfather, grandfather, wake up, you don't want to die, what do I do if you die?"

However, no matter how much he wailed, the old man just laid there quietly and didn't move at all.

In his heart, he wished that his grandfather had just fallen asleep. Then, he suddenly stood up, touched his head affectionately like before, and continued to say to him in that hoarse voice: "Come, grandson, grandpa will bring you to eat something delicious!"

However, all of this was no longer possible after today. The old man who loved and would always leave good food for him, his grandfather had already become a stiff and ice-cold corpse.

After letting him cry for a while, Ye Kai walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and dried his tears: "Just follow big brother from now on, I promise I won't let you get bullied anymore!"

The boy looked at his grandfather on the ground and did not say anything for a long time.

Ye Kai didn't urge him. Everything was up to him. He really couldn't bear to force such a child.

After a long while, the little boy wiped the tears off his face with his greasy and patched sleeves, looked at Ye Kai solemnly and said, "Big brother, I'll follow you from now on. You're my savior, and no matter what you want me to do in the future, I'll listen to you!"

The little boy's face was full of seriousness, which made his heart ache.

Ye Kai patted his head and asked, "Do you have a name?"

He shook his head in confusion. Apparently, he did not have a name.

"I'm called Ye Kai. Father gave me this name to make me happy every day. If not, you can call me Ye Xin!"

The little boy nodded heavily and forced a smile on his face to show Ye Kai that he really liked this name. However, how could Ye Kai not see the sadness in his eyes, knowing that the pain of losing his grandpa was still lingering in his heart. He had no choice but to give this matter to Ye Kai.

After comforting the boy, Ye Kai prepared to leave. At this moment, there were very few people on the streets, and there was no excitement to be had. The bystanders had already left.

Aside from Shen Nian, no one else in the Suzaku Sect said a word.

Most of the disciples from the Vermillion Bird Sect had participated in the fire trial with Ye Kai. They knew that Ye Kai was powerful, but Yang Yun was clearly more powerful in their hearts.

Although they did not dare to make a move on Ye Kai, they could not doubt that following Yang Yun would bring them more benefits and provide them more safety. As a result, most of them chose to rely on Yang Yun, which led to the current situation — — Ye Kai being isolated from others.

However, Ye Kai did not have much of an expression on his face. With only him and Shen Nian, it would be much easier to move around and perhaps even better.
