The waiter, fighting back tears, shakily set a cup of hot tea in front of Bai Chuwei; perhaps out of nervousness, some of the tea spilled over.

The old Mr. Rong seemed ready to explode again but calmed down as soon as he met the ancient ancestor’s gaze.

After serving the tea, the waiters hurriedly retreated, not daring to disturb them further.

Bai Chuwei picked up the tea cup, gently blew on it, took a sip, and commented, “Snow Mountain Mist, not too shabby.”

Everyone suddenly laughed. What good thing hadn’t the old ancestor seen or used in all her years?

To receive a “not too shabby” was already quite an accomplishment.

Apart from Qi Mo, the six Family Heads all wanted to make small talk with Bai Chuwei, with the Shen Family’s old man turning red-eyed even more so.

He was already in his seventies or eighties, at an age where his parents had long passed, making him the eldest in the family; but when facing the old ancestor, he could act like a child seeking affection from an elder, just like seventy years ago when he first met the old ancestor.

Qi Mo glanced at Tang Ke, who stood stiffly in the center of the room; someone was in for it today.

Tang Ke watched dumbfounded as old men and old women, middle-aged men, and younger generations all squeezed their way toward the young girl, each one hoping to be stroked on the head.

Those who got their heads stroked were thrilled, their excitement made him wonder if they were drugged.

Tang Ke: “…” Dammit, what the hell is going on here? Just who is this woman?

“Qi Mo,” Bai Chuwei said, putting down her tea cup.

Qi Mo: “Present.”

Bai Chuwei glanced at Tang Ke, her tone indifferent, “I’ve sent you a document on WeChat, help me print out a few copies.”

Qi Mo took out his phone, looked at the document, and his mouth twitched slightly, “Alright, just a moment please.”

Rong He couldn’t help himself, “Old ancestor, Qi Mo knows your WeChat ID, how come I don’t? Can you add me too? I’ll just scan your QR code.”

The Shen Family old man watched, fuming and continuously slapping his leg, lamenting that he didn’t know how to use these apps.

Tang Ke completely lost it and roared, “Have you not noticed me? What is going on? Who exactly is this woman?”

“Slap—”

The Shen Family patriarch retaliated with a slap across the face, furiously exclaiming, “This woman? Who are you talking to?! How dare you address the old ancestor in such a manner? I think you’re tired of living!”

Shit!

Tang Ke cursed in his mind. They were all the heads of powerful families, and even though he was much younger than the Shen Family old man, they were supposed to be equals. How dare he hit him?

Bai Chuwei calmly said, “Educate this illegitimate child of the Tang Family on who I actually am.”

Illegitimate child, after all, is an illegitimate child.

“Who is the old ancestor? The person who founded our eight great families. Do you think our eight great families have been without conflict and prospering together for hundreds of years by chance?”

Rong He looked at Tang Ke sympathetically, “This secret is only known to each Family Head and their heir. It’s normal for an illegitimate child like you not to know.”

The old ancestor?

Hundreds of years?

Absurd! Absolutely absurd!

Tang Ke almost burst out laughing, “A person can live for hundreds of years? Are you all putting on a play for me? Or are you telling me she is a fairy?”

The Shen Family patriarch glared furiously, “What do you know? When I was just a boy, I met the old ancestor, and my father had met her when he was a child too. Passed down generation to generation for hundreds of years, she has never changed!”

Suddenly, Tang Ke’s laughter faltered, his pupils contracted; the Shen Family old man… never lied.

A person, could indeed live for hundreds of years?

Bai Chuwei’s lazy voice rang out, “Now then, shall we settle the accounts?”
