130: Chapter 130 The Siblings Set Off

With the assistance of the Qingyun Sect, Ye Jing's Family finally breathed a huge sigh of relief.

For several consecutive months, the household remained peaceful.

Ye Jing suddenly called Ye Tianyao and Ye Tianhao into the study.

In the study, Ye Jing saw that Ye Tianhao was already a tall young man, wearing dark-colored martial arts attire with that pitch-black longsword tied to his waist, making him look tall and elegant. His handsome face bore a mature yet very steady expression.

He was already a Qi Refining Eighth Layer Cultivator, specializing in the Dao of the sword.

Beside him, Ye Tianyao was beautiful and charming, with a graceful figure—a true beauty in the making. A thin sword was tied to her waist, and she held the Red Fox in her arms. Dressed in a peach-pink silk skirt, she looked gorgeous and elegant.

She was already a Qi Refining Sixth Layer Cultivator, specializing in beast-taming.

Ye Jing was extremely satisfied with these two excellent grandchildren of his, but his face remained serious.

He coughed once and said, "Haoer, Yaoer, I called you here today because I have a very important matter to announce."

At this point, a flash of tenderness crossed Ye Jing's eyes, but he continued, "Starting from today, you need to leave the Ye Family and go out for experience! Rely on your own abilities to pass the Qingyun Sect's Entry Trial!"

As his voice fell, the study instantly fell into silence.

Ye Tianhao's brow furrowed slightly. His handsome face was full of surprise, but he didn't speak immediately; instead, he looked at Ye Jing with a heavy gaze.

Ye Tianyao's lively eyes widened suddenly, her tone carrying a hint of disbelief: "Grandfather, what did you say? We have to participate in the Qingyun Sect's Entry Trial on our own? Grandfather, aren't you taking us?"

Looking at his grandchildren's reactions, Ye Jing sighed in his heart, though his face remained stern.

"The Qingyun Sect's assistance is to help the Ye Family temporarily escape the crisis of destruction; it doesn't mean they can send you directly into the Sect."

"There are no shortcuts on the path of cultivation. You both must become Inner Sect Disciples to obtain a foundation establishment pill."

"You must pass their formal Entry Trial. Only by relying on your own strength to overcome the difficulties can you gain a firm footing within the Sect, receive the attention of the Sect Elders, and obtain true cultivation."

"But this is too fast, Grandfather. Didn't you say there were still a few years before the Qingyun Sect recruits disciples?" Ye Tianyao was very confused.

"Grandfather knows."

Ye Jing's voice carried an unquestionable firmness as his gaze swept over his two grandchildren: "By setting out a few years early, you will have more time to familiarize yourselves with the outside world and accumulate experience. The path of Immortal cultivation is fraught with danger; it is no child's play."

"Grandfather can protect you for a while, but I cannot protect you for a lifetime."

Ye Tianhao slowly relaxed his furrowed brow, and his handsome face regained its composure.

He remained silent for a moment before cupping his hands and saying, "Your grandson understands Grandfather's painstaking efforts. The path of cultivation requires going through trials. If one blindly relies on the Family's protection, it will be difficult to achieve Major Achievement in the end."

"I just don't know, Grandfather, where should we go on this journey? Is there a specific guide?"

Ye Tianyao also nodded hurriedly, her small face full of anticipation: "Yes, Grandfather! Give Yaoer some good things!"

Seeing that his grandchildren agreed, a flash of approval crossed Ye Jing's eyes. He then took out two Jade Slips and two Storage Pouches from his robe and handed them over.

"This blue Jade Slip records the general scope and precautions of the Qingyun Sect's past Entry Trials. The Storage Pouches contain an initial fifty Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

"There are some Magical Artifacts, as well as several bottles of healing and detoxification Medicinal Pills. Use them wisely! You'll have to find a way to solve the other resources yourselves!"

Seeing Ye Jing like this, Ye Tianyao's eyes warmed, and the confusion in her gaze faded.

It was replaced by a bit of determination: "Grandfather! Yaoer understands! Brother and I won't let you down! We will definitely pass the Qingyun Sect's Entry Trial together and become Inner Sect Disciples! We will bring honor to the Family!"

Ye Jing nodded, and a soft smile finally appeared on his face: "Good, that's a descendant of my Ye Family. You will set out early tomorrow morning. Remember not to flaunt your identity as members of the Ye Family. You must be cautious outside and prioritize your own safety in everything."

"If you encounter a crisis you cannot solve, you can crush the Transmission Jade Talisman I gave you. Grandfather will rush to support you as quickly as possible, but do not use it unless absolutely necessary!"

Saying this, he took out two white jade talismans and handed them to Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianyao respectively.

These jade talismans were carved by Wu Guiyun on jade stones using a large amount of spiritual power. They could be used for voice transmission, and once crushed, the owner's location could be sensed immediately.

They were even more useful than Transmission Talismans; this was also their mother's deep concern for her children.

Holding the cold jade talismans, the siblings felt a warm current spread through their hearts.

The next day, before dawn, when only a touch of white appeared on the eastern horizon, the side gate of the Ye Family estate quietly opened.

The siblings, dressed in simple green cloth clothes, hid the Storage Pouches and Jade Slips in their robes and light-footedly blended into the morning dew.

As the estate behind them gradually vanished into the mist, Ye Tianyao couldn't help but look back once, only to be gently patted on the shoulder by Ye Tianhao: "Let's go, the road ahead is long."

After leaving home, the siblings headed straight in the direction of the Tiangong Market that Ye Jing had given them.

This was the first place they were going. Because they had no flying-type Magical Artifacts, the siblings rented a horse carriage to travel.

The journey was long. Ye Tianhao and Ye Tianyao took turns driving the carriage. They traveled for miles, covered in dust, but had yet to see any sign of the market.

Instead, the surrounding environment became increasingly desolate.

As the sky was about to turn dark, Ye Tianhao saw that it wasn't good to keep traveling, so they came to a Relay Station along the way to rest and prepare to set out again tomorrow.

The Relay Station was built by the road, with mottled rammed earth walls and two doors half-closed.

After the siblings entered, they saw two simple sheds in the courtyard, with only a few thin horses bowing their heads to chew hay.

The air was a mix of horse manure, dry wood, and the smell of meat.

Ye Tianhao led the carriage inside, and a Post-station attendant attendant wrapped in coarse cloth clothes came to meet them.

His gaze swept over their simple clothing and finally fixed on Ye Tianyao, his eyes full of covetousness.

Ye Tianhao stepped in front of his sister, his eyes unfriendly.

Seeing this, the Post-station attendant attendant sullenly withdrew his gaze and smiled ingratiatingly: "We provide food and lodging here. What kind of room do you want?"

"Two spots in the common room, and add some hot food and fodder."

Ye Tianhao paid with some silver pieces and said calmly.

The Post-station attendant attendant smiled repeatedly and then went to prepare.

When he reached the kitchen, he knocked twice on the back courtyard door. A voice of pleasant surprise immediately came from the back courtyard: "Two big fish have arrived?"

The Post-station attendant attendant said with a chuckle: "Not exactly big fish, but two kids have come. One of them is incredibly beautiful, enough for us brothers to enjoy ourselves!"

"Two young people? They couldn't be Immortals, could they?"

"How could they be? Immortals wouldn't dress so simply. They must be refugees; otherwise, why wouldn't they be carrying any weapons!"

The Post-station attendant attendant smiled with a wretched face, rubbing his hands as he said: "I noticed there isn't the slightest ripple of spiritual power on them. And that little lady is so pretty and tender-skinned, even more alluring than Sister Hua in town! We brothers can enjoy ourselves tonight!"

A few muffled laughs immediately came from the back courtyard, mixed with the sound of chairs moving, as if they were very satisfied with the idea.

After finishing the discussion, the Post-station attendant attendant came out carrying two plates of coarse cakes, a bowl of hot soup, and a bundle of fodder, his face piled with smiles.

His eyes couldn't help but glance at Ye Tianyao again, but forced by Ye Tianhao's cold and sharp gaze, he quickly shrunk back, put down the items, and hurried away.
