Night fell.
On such a night, the moon shone brightly amid sparse stars over the Rong Family estate on the outskirts of Beihan City.
Since arriving at the Rong Family estate, Su Ping had rarely enjoyed such leisure and ease.
Even he had not anticipated what had happened that day.
The Snake Ancestor who had suddenly appeared, and those words from that strange green snake-whether in jest or in earnest-
Whether they had been a joke or sincere, what those words represented needed no further explanation.
This was apparent from the attitudes everyone in the Rong Family had shown throughout the day, even those from the other branches outside his grandfather's direct line.
They were utterly respectful, without a trace of disrespect left.
Never mind the eye rolls and angry looks to his face-even the gossip behind his back had all but disappeared.
Part of this was the beast-taming strength Su Ping had displayed, which rivaled anyone in the family, but the more crucial factor was that so-called Snake Ancestor who had spoken.
They could disregard the family head's words, because the family head was human, with all the passions and desires of a human.
Thus, the family head could have selfish motives. Yet the Snake Ancestor who had spoken had even wanted to bypass the Five Saints' Egg and have Su Ping remain with the Rong Family as its head.
Such recognition was unprecedented!
At the same time, it left everyone utterly baffled.
Just because of that strange wolf pet, the Snake Ancestor had dared to speak of entrusting the entire Rong Family to him?
Wasn't that far too unbelievable?
It made no sense at all!
Never mind the rest of the family-even Rong Bao, his newly acquired grandfather, could not understand it.
*Wasn't this a bit fucking different
