The relationships between the great Buddhist and Taoist holy lands and the prominent clans that passed down Confucianism through their families had always been difficult to sum up in a word.

The youth wore a solemn expression and lowered his head respectfully toward her. "Little Grand-Aunt."
Lei Jun moved his jaw.
It was not the first time he had heard that this Miss Chu was the beloved late-born daughter of the old Chu Clan Leader. She was young, but her seniority was high.
