Ye Qingxue stepped forward and bowed respectfully to him: "Uncle, do you know me? May I ask what I can do for you?"
"General Ye's eldest daughter has grown up so much, and she doesn't recognize this old man anymore!" The old man said, his tone a mix of sarcasm, sadness, and anger.
Ye Qingxue frowned slightly. From what the old man said, she could deduce that he used to be a soldier under her father, and that she must have met him before.
