Volume 5, Chapter 42 – Visitors to the Bai Family, The Third Ancestor of House Solrog

On the other side,

In the Bai family main residence estate, by the lakeside near the old master’s room.

As the most respected elder of the Bai family, Bai Shangxue was leisurely sitting in a pavilion by the lakeside, fishing while enjoying sweet tea.

He appeared completely content and blissful.

After taking a sip of tea, Bai Shangxue looked leisurely toward the stunningly beautiful silver-haired girl beside him—Miss Ailiya, the Bai family “ancestor” who had been invited to fish with him.

“Lady Baiya, how is it? Are you getting used to life in this era?”

Bai Shangxue asked with a smile.

Although he was facing an ancestor, Bai Shangxue wasn’t as respectful as other Bai family members, appearing quite casual.

His tone of speech completely lacked the attitude one should have toward an ancestor, instead seeming more like he was addressing a junior?

Oh,

Incidentally, in order to better temporarily blend in with the Bai family, “Baiya” was the name little Ailiya had given herself.

Always being called “Honored Ancestor” and such… still inevitably made Miss Ailiya feel somewhat strange.

After all, she was still young…

…

Faced with Bai Shangxue’s question, Ailiya smiled quite amiably:

“Yes, I’m getting used to it quite well. Thank you for your concern.”

Toward Bai Shangxue, Ailiya’s attitude was naturally quite good.

After all, when she had just arrived in this world and was still completely confused about everything, if it hadn’t been for Bai Shangxue’s help, she probably wouldn’t have been able to settle down so easily in this world.

After taking a sip of tea, Ailiya’s eyes were also full of gratitude.

While feeling grateful, Ailiya also frowned with some puzzlement, looking thoughtfully at Bai Shangxue’s face.

“Enmm…”

Speaking of which,

According to what the Bai family people said, this person was the oldest powerhouse of the Bai family?

The 159-year-old Bai Shangxue?

159 years old?

Why does he still look like a little child??

The more Ailiya looked at Bai Shangxue’s skin that was as tender and white as a child’s, the more puzzled she became.

On the other side, seemingly sensing Ailiya’s gaze, Bai Shangxue calmly put down his teacup.

“What’s wrong? Lady Baiya… are you wondering why I’m so young?”

Seeing that her intention had been seen through, Ailiya honestly nodded.

“Yes, being able to maintain this appearance at this age is indeed somewhat surprising.”

“That’s true.”

Bai Shangxue nodded noncommittally. Then, this senior of the Bai family directed his gaze toward the spirit tablet that had been floating behind Ailiya for a long time.

“I can maintain this youthful appearance thanks to my clan’s ancestral Spirit Tablet. It’s the Spirit Tablet that granted me a longer lifespan and this enviable appearance.”

“Spirit Tablet? It actually has this function?”

Ailiya muttered with some surprise.

When Ailiya directed her gaze toward the Spirit Tablet, this stone tablet floating in mid-air immediately came floating over to Ailiya’s front eagerly, seemingly wanting to seek affection? This gave the silver-haired girl quite a headache.

After taking in this scene, Bai Lin, who was serving water to Ailiya nearby, couldn’t help but comment:

“However… this is the first time I’ve seen the Spirit Tablet so close to someone. Lady Baiya, the bloodline power within your body is indeed quite thick.”

“Uh.”

Glancing at the young Bai family member who had served her for several days, Ailiya felt somewhat embarrassed as she twirled her silver hair with her finger.

“Bloodline power…”

Strictly speaking, she had no relationship with the Bai family bloodline at all, right?

She was a child born and raised on Yao Xing… how could she possibly have the bloodline of an Earth family?

It didn’t make sense at all…

While Ailiya was pondering, Bai Shangxue also thoughtfully focused his gaze on the fishing bait.

“According to the Spirit Tablet’s characteristics, merely possessing Bai family bloodline power shouldn’t be enough to make it so excited.”

“Then what other factors could there be?”

Bai Lin asked curiously.

To this, Bai Shangxue didn’t answer directly, but instead directed his attention toward Ailiya. His gaze also became particularly serious in this instant.

“Lady Baiya, I’m curious to ask… have you… ever had contact with Lord?”

“Lord!!”

Upon hearing this “term,” before Ailiya could react, Bai Lin first showed an expression of shock.

You must know, Lord was the creator of this world, the deity that these ancient clans worshipped most. According to legendary records, the Bai family from thousands of years ago was one of Lord’s servant families… and the Spirit Tablet was also bestowed upon them by Lord at that time.

Honored Ancestor supposedly came from the ancient era over two thousand years ago… if it was that time period?

Honored Ancestor might have even served Lord?!!

Served Lord!!

Thinking of this, Bai Lin’s eyes lit up with stars, staring at Ailiya with expectant excitement, making the silver-haired girl’s scalp tingle.

“Uh…”

Lord?

You know, in Ailiya’s impression, this “term” was something fabricated by the Divine Kingdom to deceive believers.

To hear this “term” in this world… Ailiya was actually quite confused too.

What relationship did she have with Lord? Did tearing down a few Divine Faith cathedrals count?

Moreover, was this world’s Lord… the same thing as the one they worshipped on Yao Xing?

“No, I don’t, don’t have any relationship…”

No matter what, Ailiya still chose to shake her head in denial.

“I see.”

Bai Shangxue nodded calmly. He didn’t pursue the matter further, but his expression while gazing at the Spirit Tablet became imperceptibly sharper.

But this reaction…

didn’t seem like there was no relationship.

However,

Just as both Bai Shangxue and Ailiya briefly entered into contemplation, an unfamiliar aura quietly intruded into this peaceful courtyard. Along with this aura came a thick smell of blood, directly causing Ailiya and the others to frown and instantly show serious expressions.

Hm??

The next moment,

Ailiya directly stood up and pulled Bai Lin behind her.

Immediately after,

Under the serious gazes of several people, a blonde man in a suit with a friendly smile walked step by step into the courtyard.

Behind the man, a Bai family attendant covered in wounds who had obviously suffered severe injuries crawled into the courtyard with all his strength, reaching his hand toward the distant Ailiya and Bai Shangxue.

He wheezed weakly:

“Lady Baiya… Lord Bai Shangxue… this… this person is very, very dangerous…”

Just as he finished speaking, the man collapsed unconscious from excessive blood loss.

Seeing this, a serious glint flashed through Ailiya’s eyes.

To be able to silently break through the Bai family estate’s outer barriers without attracting her attention and deal with numerous attendants… this man’s strength was clearly extraordinary, stronger than anyone she had encountered in this world so far.

“Who are you?”

Before the blonde man could answer, Bai Shangxue spoke seriously in a low voice:

“Are you from Tianen Financial Group?”

Bai Shangxue obviously recognized this director of Tianen Financial Group who had visited the Bai family and met with Bai Bin some time ago.

“Frankie?”

However, faced with this address, the blonde man shook his head with slight displeasure.

“I’m sorry, to be honest… I don’t like that name. If possible, I’d prefer you call me ‘Hume.'”

“What?”

“Hume-Solrog.”

Ailiya: ?!!
