Ye Kai stared intently at Lin Pingzhi, his Mind Control Ability constantly sensing the fluctuations of his emotions.
It is important to note that not everyone is like Hong Qigong or Guo Jing. Hong Qigong boldly claimed that he had hardly ever made a mistake in his life, even if his greed led him to do something wrong, he would compensate for it with just a finger.
Guo Jing, on the other hand, steadfastly defended Xiangyang and ultimately died in battle from exhaustion.
This is what a Great Hero is; this is the true chivalry that Ye Kai holds in his heart.
Now, he wanted to see whether this Lin Pingzhi, who might be different from the original work because of Ye Kai's interference, was truly a passionate youth or merely a cunning individual with hidden depths.
"Interesting, very interesting!"
The two locked eyes; one was an absolute powerhouse glaring fiercely, while the other suddenly squinted slightly, revealing a satisfied smile as he began to scrutinize Lin Pingzhi from head to toe.
After a moment, Ye Kai's lips curled upwards, gradually expanding into a broad grin as he exclaimed, "Good, good! Lin, you’re quite impressive! Why not save him?! Since this Sect has intervened, there’s no need to worry even if it means going against others!"
"Brother Ye, what are you talking about? I don’t understand at all!" Lin Pingzhi was bewildered.
Bang!!!
Ye Kai glanced around at the others present before finally fixing his gaze on Laudeno. He flicked his finger and instantly sent Laudeno flying over ten meters, crashing against a large tree with a loud thud.
"Puff!!!"
Laudeno's eyes were filled with shock as he spat out a mouthful of blood and exclaimed, "You..."
By the time several bodyguards and Yue Ling Shan reacted and showed expressions of astonishment, Ye Kai had already spoken coldly: "Yue Buqun's disciple is really getting worse. Girl, help your senior brother back. Tell Yue Buqun that from now on he should practice honestly on the mountain; otherwise, this Sect will destroy your Huashan."
Before his words had even faded away, he had already grabbed Lin Pingzhi and soared into the air, leaping onto the treetops several meters high. With a light tap of his toes, he dashed across dozens of meters and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Yet his voice lingered in the air: "The matters of the Fortune Guard Escort Agency have been taken care of by this Sect. Notify everyone that anyone who dares to act will be killed!!!"
"Yes, Subordinate humbly obeys the holy decree!"
Alice, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, Chrysanthemum sisters, and Ye Yi and Ye Er all knelt on one knee simultaneously, responding respectfully.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the few of them moved swiftly, executing exceptional lightness skills as they leaped to the treetops, following Ye Kai's departing direction.
The heads of the escort stared in disbelief at what was happening before them, while Yue Ling Shan supported Laudeno, both of them utterly shocked and trembling with fear.
This is a true master!
Absolutely a top-tier expert among the elite!
The terrifying lightness skill and Speed, along with that single flick of a finger that could send a person flying over ten meters away—just thinking about it made their scalps tingle and their bodies shudder.
What Ye Kai had just displayed in terms of lightness skill and Speed had already left both sides in shock and fear; however, the subsequent performance of those few individuals made them dare not harbor any thoughts of dissatisfaction.
After staring at each other for a long moment, the heads of the escort finally reacted and rushed out of the shop to mount their horses and pursue.
As the sound of hooves faded into the distance, Laudeno and Yue Ling Shan quickly led two swift horses out from behind the shop, fleeing in panic from this terrifying place.
At this moment, Ye Kai had already taken Lin Pingzhi over the city wall. Amidst the astonished cries of the guarding Soldiers and numerous witnesses, they continued unimpeded toward the Fortune Guard Escort Agency.
To avoid being too ostentatious, Ye Kai occasionally tapped his toes lightly on treetops or the inn's mast, reaching above the Fortune Guard Escort Agency in just a few minutes.
"Ah!!!"
Lin Zhenan, who had been discussing something with several heads of escort in the courtyard, suddenly saw what seemed to be a figure flying toward them, startling everyone.
"Ping Zhi... what is this?" The shock was still evident in Lin Zhenan's eyes.
Lin Pingzhi, having calmed the excitement that followed his earlier actions, set down his emotions. Ye Kai did not glance at Lin Zhenan; instead, he flicked his robe and lightly tapped the ground with his toes, soaring into the air and landing gently on the treetop outside the wall. "You dare to spy in front of This Sect?"
"Clang!!!"
Surprised by this audacious individual who had dared to strike at him, Ye Kai flicked his finger, and with a ringing sound, his sword flew from his hand, embedding itself three meters away from Lin Zhenan. The Qingcheng Sect disciple wearing a ghostly mask fell to the ground with a thud.
"This... this..."
In truth, Lin Zhenan was stunned. Whether it was Ye Kai's terrifying lightness skill or the Qingcheng Sect disciple who had just fallen in a cloud of dust, he found it hard to process what had just happened.
"Dad, this is Ye Kai, the leader of Star God Sect and my mentor," Lin Pingzhi excitedly introduced as he grabbed his father's arm. He then produced a prayer bead and presented it like a treasure. "Look, Dad! This is a gift from my master. I plan to give it to Mother as her birthday present this year. Do you think she will be happy?"
Ye Kai slowly descended, observing Lin Zhenan's changing expression and heightened vigilance. He couldn't help but feel speechless; if it weren't for his apprentice, he wouldn't bother dealing with this man at all.
However, when he saw the prayer bead again, his pupils constricted. With the discerning eye he had honed in the martial world and in politics, he recognized that this bead was undoubtedly a priceless treasure.
Could it be that his son had truly become an apprentice to this young man?
Young man?!
He stole another glance and suddenly felt a jolt in his heart as if recalling something. He murmured to himself, "Could it be that the Refining Qi into Spirit mentioned in the previous realm can actually reverse aging? Is it really true?!"
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a series of sounds pierced through the air as five women and two men descended from midair and announced loudly, "Reporting to the Sect Leader! We just received news that there are Qingcheng Sect spies lurking around various branches of the Fortune Guard Escort Agency. We are currently eliminating them all."
"Mm!"
Ye Kai stood with his hands behind his back, his entire being shimmering with a layer of soft Radiance. "Ping Zhi, I have fulfilled your request and eliminated all the spies from the Qingcheng Sect. Now we just wait for Yu Canghai to come knocking. You can rest easy now, right?"
Lin Pingzhi had already learned all the details of the situation during their journey, and upon hearing this, he was overjoyed. He bowed deeply and said, "Disciple thanks Master for his kindness!"
"Enough of that!"
With a thought from Ye Kai, Lin Pingzhi could no longer bow. "You are already aware of the three major precepts of this sect. As long as you do not betray the sect, do not deceive your master or destroy your ancestors, and avoid any acts of treachery or debauchery, then everything is at your discretion. Let’s skip the empty formalities where we can."
He was quite pleased with this disciple, who was only around sixteen or seventeen years old but truly possessed a chivalrous heart, and he was not a foolishly rigid person either.
"May I ask which esteemed person has come? I am Yu Canghai, the leader of the Qingcheng Sect. I request a moment of your time to clarify any misunderstandings."
"Yu Canghai!!!" Lin Zhenan and Madam Wang recognized the name immediately and understood Yu Canghai's formidable reputation. Although they operated a courier agency, they were still part of the martial world.
The voice from outside the residence had already caused a slight tremor in their internal energy, making them truly realize how vast the gap was between them and a master.
"Father, Mother, there's no need to be nervous. It's fine; with Master here, we have nothing to fear even if all the experts from Qingcheng Sect come out. Besides, what are mere Yu Canghai and his few disciples to worry about? Just relax."
At this moment, Lin Pingzhi showed no signs of anxiety; instead, while comforting his parents, he gazed eagerly at Ye Kai like a pitiful little creature.
Ye Kai looked at his newly accepted disciple with both amusement and exasperation. "Alright then, let’s go meet this leftover from Qingcheng."
