In the PILI series (Pili (TV series)), Ye Shiao Chai is a mute, therefore unable to speak. This is due to him cutting off his throat due to certain events (and can only communicate by hugging his mouth close to another character's ear, or through telepathy of some sorts). As such, he is the only one from PILI without audio in the game.

As for why he is mute (the information is available in [https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E8%91%89%E5%B0%8F%E9%87%B5 Chinese Wikipedia Page): when Ye Shiao Chai was in his teens, he was sent to Huánghuājū (黃花居, a fictional location) as paternity, but he fell in love with Xiāo Zhú Yíng (蕭竹盈), whom was Yī jiàn wàn shēng (一劍萬生)'s secret love. Enraged, Ye Shioo Chai fought with him in Fēngyǔ píng (風雨坪), but with no avail. He was forced to leave to avoid being killed, with an unfortunate scar on his face as a result of the fight. In the process, seventy of more masters and monks wounded up killed, and Ye Shiao Chai ended up suffering from smallpox as he became diseased.

He then met Bàn tuó fèi (半駝廢), who helped him avoid death from the pursuit of Yī jiàn wàn shēng by cutting off both of Ye's arms to trick Yī jiàn wàn shēng that his target was completely wasted, and with further advice by his friend, Yī dāo wàn shā (一刀萬殺), the two finally gave up killing Ye Shiao Chai.

Afterwords, Bàn tuó fèi took care of Ye Shiao Chai to recover his handicapped state. Then, he trained him vigorously. Bàn tuó fèi gave him a quiz, "Zhī shǒu zhī shēng" (隻手之聲), which he wasn't able to figure out on his own, until Ōu yáng shàng zhì (歐陽上智) gave him the hint that the answer is a silent voice (無聲之聲, Wú shēng zhī shēng). Determined, Ye Shiao Chai cut off his throat. Bàn tuó fèi regarded his actions highly, and gave him the sword, enabling him to finally fight back Yī jiàn wàn shēng and Yī dāo wàn shā in another fight in Fēngyǔ píng.

At this time, his son was already born, but his character has already changed significantly. His mind was like water, unaffected by lust, and he really owed Ōu yáng shàng zhì for helping him to figure out the quiz. He refused to meet Xiāo Zhú Yíng and her family, and so he remained with Ōu yáng shàng zhì, helping him out on his side. His journey as a swordsman begins.
