No one could enjoy rewards without giving anything in return. If the Ye Family wanted countless geniuses to fight, sacrifice, and lay bricks for it, then it had to treat those geniuses well.
That was why the Ye Family treated these geniuses so generously. Only when they felt they had gained enough benefits could they possibly give their hearts to the family, just as they themselves had.
But when faced with someone like Ye Xukong, they were helpless. The reason was simple: he had not received so much as a single coin's worth of benefits from them, so what right did they have to demand that he fight for the Ye Family?
This was a matter of equality. Ordinary people would not think so much about it, but when facing a supreme genius who might one day step into the Celestial Realm, no amount of caution was excessive.
The best method was to slowly make up for this deficiency with time. Whatever the Ye Family had failed to give him before, they would repay it double.
Ye Xukong's situation was still manageable. No matter what, he had grown up within the Ye Family. But Ye Xiwen was different. He had grown up outside; he truly had not the slightest connection to the Ye Family. Moreover, after returning, he had been obstructed by certain people. Thus, even though he had displayed the abilities of a peerless prodigy, he had not received the treatment he deserved.
How could resentment not arise in his heart?
After witnessing the talent and strength Ye Xiwen had displayed, some previously neutral Ye Family higher-ups began to regret their actions. Had they been wrong? If they could not bring such a genius into the Ye Family, were they really going to push him to the opposing side?
