Leisurely mountain village

"I understand, Mother. This time you've thought it through very carefully. The Foundation Establishment cultivation technique you've given me is easy to control with just anyone," Ye Kai nodded, explaining.

Mi Yun'er nodded and continued, "But have you thought about the impact on ordinary people whose lifespan suddenly increases from seventy or eighty to two hundred years? Are the powerful and wealthy willing to give up their power? Are the rich willing to relinquish their wealth? What will ordinary people do?"

"Leaving aside other places, the New Xia Empire already has a large population. In a hundred years, there will be four more generations. What will happen if there isn't enough land and resources? If a war breaks out, can you think of any solutions?"

Mi Yun'er looked at her son. She was very satisfied with her eldest son's character and filial piety, but other aspects...

These are the six points that Yoona summarized for her eldest son.

Overall, character outweighs ability.

But there was nothing he could do; after all, he was Ye Huan's son. He said that no one else could stop him, not even his master Shennong.

"Mom~" Ye Ke noticed that her younger brother's expression was not good.

"It's alright. Since it's already done, as I said, I'm not criticizing or correcting you, but just sharing some of my thoughts. Over the years, your father has been traveling far and wide for the sake of humanity. As a woman, I've inevitably fallen short in my role in guiding you."

Mi Yoon-ah waved her hand and continued.

“You were only two years old back then. Because of my family, I sent you to live with your father. It seemed like nothing happened, but the homestead was no longer secure. After returning to the Ye family, you two were spoiled by everyone. Even when Xiao Kai couldn’t endure the hardship of martial arts training, your great-grandfather didn’t say anything.”

"Sigh~ So, sometimes, loving you is also hurting you~" Mi Yun'er sighed, looking at her daughter and saying, "Like when you wanted to marry Xiao Lu, your dad didn't really want to agree, but he loved you, and for your sake, he nodded. But now I want to say, the facts prove that he wasn't a good match~"

Coco's face didn't look too good either. Her husband, after living in the village outside the Ye family for more than three hundred years, finally divorced Ye Ke and returned to Blue Star, unwilling to be a live-in son-in-law anymore.

In fact, the Ye family never cared about people from other villages. He just thought about self-respect, dignity, and being disrespected. Little did he know that Ye Huan was used to being domineering in the village, and it wasn't directed at him.

"He took his sister's money, returned to the ancestral land of Blue Star, and married a young girl who was only in her early twenties." Ye Kai nodded and recounted what happened next.

"He's acting like a spoiled brat, but unfortunately these are the only problems. When Xiao Hao went back last time, we didn't make things difficult for him."

Although it's not obvious, he's already several hundred years old.

"Later, relying on his status as the son-in-law of the Ye family, he opened a company on Blue Star. He had no skills whatsoever and just messed around. When your father and I accompanied your grandparents to visit your great-uncle and the others, your father went to see him. Although he went without telling me, I knew about it. Later, that guy obediently went back to the village. Your father did it for your sake. Otherwise, he would have slapped that kind of bastard to death long ago."

Yoona continued.

Coco nodded without saying a word; their relationship had long since ended.

“Your dad loves you. When you were little, he always said it. But as you grew up, he buried that love in his heart and supported all your choices. Even if they were wrong, he would still cover for you. He is the best dad I have ever met,” said Mi Yoon-ah.

“You might say, ‘For the sake of humanity, for the sake of so-and-so,’ but you must know how difficult his journey has been. He was forced onto this path. If he hadn’t become powerful and hadn’t traveled far and wide, our Ye Family Village might not exist anymore.”

"Mom, I'm sorry," Ye Kai said.

“The Ye family’s sons never say sorry. If they make a mistake, they correct it later. They bleed but don’t cry. Since you’ve chosen to do this, you have to take care of any trouble in the future. Sometimes, it’s necessary to make an example of someone.” Mi Yun’er waved her hand, not letting her son apologize.

"Do you remember your Uncle Chu Zeng? His predecessor was that old man from Blue Star. The two of them perfected most of the laws of the Outer Heaven Empire, stipulating that the term of office could not exceed fifty years and that they would be subject to the supervision and management of at least two equal institutions."

"The experience from Tianwaitian can be your best learning path. If there's anything you don't understand, take a gift and go to your Uncle Chu. He's your father's sworn brother and you can trust him."

"Okay, I understand, Mom~" Ye Kai nodded. Of course he knew Chu Zeng; he and Chu Niu were good brothers.

“You are already very good, but you must know that you are Ye Huan’s sons, so there is no best, only better, because billions of human eyes are watching you.” Mi Yun’er patted her son and daughter and stood up.

"A kind heart cannot command an army, and righteousness cannot manage finances. Kai'er, it's not that I'm nagging, but sometimes you really should learn more from your younger brother."

"Hmm~" Ye Kai nodded. Ye Hao was indeed stronger than him, he had always known that, and he also knew that his younger brother never competed or fought for anything, but silently supported him as his older brother.

After all, they are siblings, brothers, family, and a family of friends.

"Work hard, think carefully, ask questions if you don't understand, and learn from existing success stories. Don't always put on that fake facade." After saying this, Mi Yun'er smiled at her son and daughter and went out.

"Mom hasn't chatted with us like this in a long time," Ye Kai said to his sister with a sigh as he watched his mother leave.

“We have indeed disappointed her over the years.” Coco’s face was also not good. The man she chose had abandoned the family and left, turning around to marry a young girl who had just come of age.

"So sometimes, blind dates aren't necessarily a bad thing, at least your parents approve of them~" Ye Kai said. He and Zhao Lulu met through a blind date. Although Zhao Lulu was also overly compassionate, that happened after she started managing Australia with Ye Kai.

The main reason is that the environment is too safe and too stable. Ye Huan took on all the responsibilities and provided the children with a relatively safe environment.

"I wonder how Xiao Hao is doing now. Everyone else is working so hard, but us... sigh~" Ye Kai sighed.

"Don't worry, Xiao Hao, I miss Dad~" Ye Ke said.

Ye Kai nodded. That mountain-like man had been sheltering them from the wind and rain and protecting them as they moved forward from the moment they appeared before him.

"Dad will be alright too."

Ye Ke nodded, got up, and left.

Ye Kai sighed again. His sister had also met the wrong person, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't just kill him.

"Level 1 combat readiness~" A year and a half later, the Milky Way entered a state of combat readiness. Outside the Milky Way, rows of warships faced off against the warships of the outer heavens, confronting each other.
