"Do you know me?"
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the middle-aged woman before him, somewhat surprised.
He was certain he had never met this person.
Even if he searched through all his predecessor's memories, there was no trace of her.
"No, but I know of you!"
The middle-aged woman nodded, then gave a heavy snort and strode past Jiang Xiaobai straight into the First-Rank Tower.
Huh?
Jiang Xiaobai stood where he was, his face full of bewilderment.
He did not know this woman at all. Why did she look at him as though he owed her money?
And that snort had clearly been brimming with displeasure toward him.
Beside him, the Elder Princess was equally surprised and turned to glance at Jiang Xiaobai.
Had Jiang Xiaobai offended this woman?
But judging by his reaction, he clearly had no idea what was going on either!
"Teacher..."
Seeing the woman's attitude, Fang Tong hesitated before lowering his voice. "You and her..."

Jiang Xiaobai frowned, watching the middle-aged woman's retreating figure with a face full of doubt. "This is our first meeting!"
Could she be hostile toward him because of Xiao Qingxiu too?

It was utterly baffling.
"Tong!"
Just then, a voice came from beside them.
Fang Tong looked up and saw a middle-aged man approaching. He immediately took two steps forward. "Father!"
Then Fang Tong turned back and introduced him to Jiang Xiaobai. "Teacher, this is my father!"
