As a prodigy of a Fifth-Rank Aristocratic Clan, there were few people Wang Shihai admired. Even Ancestor Dingxin, who had completed the Purple Mansion succession for the Clan, seemed merely so-so to Wang Shihai—after all, he himself had a high chance of reaching the Purple Mansion realm in the future.
Yet his Fourth Granduncle, Wang Shouzhe, had shaken his young heart time and again. His initial admiration had turned into awe, until now Wang Shihai felt an urge to prostrate himself in worship.
Fourth Granduncle had gone about things without a sound... yet his methods were actually this... domineering.

"While Elder Sister was entertaining her maternal clan just now, she still remembered to have this concubine brew some nourishing soup for you. Please drink it while it's hot."
"The Fairy is an honored guest. Such trivial matters..."

"Fine." Wang Shouzhe lowered his head and drained the bowl of Tenfold Nourishing Soup invented by Liu Ruolan in one gulp, his whole face twisting bitterly!
Beside him, Wang Shihai's face had gone stiff. Fourth Granduncle, this is what you meant
