The landscape taken up by Yinxian Villa completely shocked Yu Tian.

Clearly, the owner was someone extraordinary. At the very least, the person’s status and position must be more prestigious than his three elder sisters.

When Yu Tian entered the villa’s grounds, he was not greeted by a tall, glorious building or even a three-story tall mansion.

Instead, it was a two-story building located in a space that resembled the landscape gardens of an ancient emperor.

“Yu Tian, don’t get nervous,” whispered Chu Qing softly. For some reason, the woman who had never been afraid to speak her mind was lowering her voice.

Yu Tian asked, “Elder sister Qing, who am I meeting? Why do all of you look so nervous?”

Chu Qing shook her head and remained silent. A frightful expression flashed across her face.

“Elder sister Xin, Elder sister Rou…”

Yu Tian tried again but it was to no avail.

Finally, Chu Xin broke the silence.

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

Yu Tian forced a smile. Was he meeting the emperor or an ancestor of the family? Why was everything so mysterious?

After making several turns within the villa grounds for about ten minutes, the car stopped in front of an ordinary-looking courtyard.

The three women cautiously led Yu Tian through the gates. They walked past the corridors connecting the pavilions and kiosks. Eventually, they stopped at the rear court.

A massive lake took up most of the space. There was a small pavilion ingeniously built on the boulder that was exposed in the middle.

At the same time, a person was drinking tea and playing Weiqi alone inside the pavilion.

Yu Tian could clearly see the person.

He became curious. Finally, he got to meet the mysterious man.

“Yu Tian, you’ll have to go on by yourself. The answers you were searching for are over there,” mumbled Chu Xin. Then, she led the other two women toward some stone stools.

Even though he was confused, Yu Tian walked to the pavilion alone.

‘This person must be the elder sisters’ elderly. Why else would they be so terrified?’

The women became nervous when Yu Tian’s figure receded.

“Elder sister Xin, will Yu Tian be fine?” asked Chu Qing in a concerned tone.

Chu Xin shook her head and curled her lips into a faint smile.

“Don’t worry, our younger brother isn’t an average Joe. The fact that he accepted us while still having an amiable heart means that he’s not a bad person.”

“Agreed. I have faith in Yu Tian. I’m sure he can pass this test.”

Chu Rou adjusted her qipao before sitting down elegantly.

“I didn’t expect my second visit to Yinxian Villa would be because of Yu Tian.”

…

While the women were still whispering, Yu Tian arrived at the pavilion.

He coughed softly as a way to indicate his arrival.

For some unknown reason, he felt that the man’s upright figure seemed rather familiar.

The other person did not turn around.

“You’re here? Sit down and have some tea,” he said softly.

The man’s voice was flat and emotionless as if it belonged to a mystical being who had already seen everything in this world.

Yu Tian took to his seat. Finally, he got to see the person’s face.

The man was probably in his fifties, Yet, he did not have a single gray hair. His eyes were radiant and beneath the seemingly calm expression, he was as sharp as the edge of the knife.

Additionally, the man’s cheeks were glowing beneath his smooth, wrinkle-free skin.

Yu Tian felt a strange feeling, but he could not pin down exactly what it was.

“You can call me Uncle Long,” said the man. He poured Yu Tian a cup of tea.

The fragrance of the tea leaves entered Yu Tian’s nose. He could not help but sip on the tea.

“This tea is great! Thank you, Uncle Long.”

“Yu Tian, aren’t you curious about who I am?” asked Uncle Long while smiling. It was as if his gaze was capable of penetrating through the young man’s soul.

The latter revealed a polite grin.

“Obviously, I’m here today because Uncle Long has something to tell me. I didn’t think it would be polite to ask you directly.”

Uncle Long was satisfied with the young man’s reply. He still had a faint smile on his face.

While he refilled the teacups, he also gestured to the board game. It was an invite for Yu Tian to play Weiqi with him.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Yu Tian’s face.

“Uncle Long, I don’t know how to play Weiqi,” said Yu Tian humbly. Back then, he could not afford to learn it.

Uncle Long shook his head gently.

“It’s your move.”

Was it?

Yu Tian was frustrated. The man was not giving him any choice.

‘Am I being tested?’

He almost laughed at this thought.

In the end, Yu Tian picked up a random playing piece and placed it down at the first empty spot that he could find.

Uncle Long stayed silent for a very long time.

Then, he laughed aloud and began putting away the playing pieces back to a box.

“Perhaps this is fate,” said Uncle Long. His sharp gaze was filled with admiration.

“Yu Tian, I’m only an old butler for the Chu Family. Today’s meeting is simply to confirm if you’re actually the person that we’re looking for.”

Uncle Long did not beat around the bush.

Yu Tian’s expression glowed, as he preferred this straightforward style of speech.

“Well, are you sure now?”

The older man shook his head and replied ambiguously, “Yes, but also no. However, there’s no need to rush. We still have time.”

“Uncle Long, please confirm if I’m the right person. I don’t want to accept these privileges for nothing.”

Yu Tian’s unexpected confession surprised the man.

Uncle Long looked intensely at Yu Tian for a while to judge if he was telling the truth.

“Based on everything that has happened, you’re indeed the person that we’re looking for. Nonetheless, you still need to grow and that will take some time.”

“Do I have huge responsibilities over my shoulders?”

Yu Tian wanted to laugh. This scenario felt like something out of a novel.

“Yu Tian, you’re still young and there’s so much that you still don’t know. This world is very complicated, but there’s no rush. One day, you’ll understand everything.”

Uncle Long gradually rose to his feet and gestured at the young man.

“Come with me.”

Yu Tian looked at Uncle Long who was walking slowly with a perplexed expression. All of a sudden, he had an urge to kick the older man.

‘Why can’t he get straight to the point?

‘Beating around the bush is exhausting!’

Shortly after, Uncle Long brought Yu Tian to the ancestral hall.

The plaque of the ancestral hall read: Chu Ancestral Hall.

“Yu Tian, come on in. You just have to perform three bows.”

Uncle Long’s tone suddenly sounded much more serious.

Bow?

Why would he bow to unknown ancestors?

He might not even be a part of the Chu Family at all!

However, if that was the case, why did the Chu Family take such great care of him?

Furthermore, what were the implications of the three bows?

Meanwhile, Uncle Long had already performed three respectful bows.

No matter what, the deceased should be respected. Moreover, these were the ancestors of the elder sisters who had helped him out greatly. It was not strange to show them some respect.

Suddenly, Uncle Long requested, “Yu Tian, hand over your pendant.”

The smile on his face appeared to be even more gentle.

Instinctively, Yu Tian reached for his pendant but he had second thoughts.

Both Chu Qing and Uncle Long had shown interest in this pendant.

Was this not an ordinary pendant?

Yu Tian frowned slightly.

“Uncle Long, this pendant may not be worth much, but it means the world to me. You can have a look but I can’t give it to you.”

Uncle Long laughed upon hearing that.

The sound of his laughter filled the entire hall. All of a sudden, the older man knelt down in front of the altar.

“Ancestors of the Chu Family, we have finally found the Young Lord!”
