Chapter 330: Chapter 330: Is Bai Chuwei Really the Ancestor?
Bai Yinyin completely lost control, her hands trembling violently before the gold plate slipped from her grasp and clattered to the ground.
Bai Yinyin was absolutely terrified, her eyes blankly staring at the gold plate as she muttered to herself, “Bai… Bai Chuwei?”
Bai Yinyin was on the verge of tears from fright.
Could it be that she had read the characters wrong? They weren’t in simplified or traditional Chinese; these were ancient characters.
Trembling, Bai Yinyin said, “I must have read it wrong, right? My phone… where is my phone…”
Bai Yinyin felt a chill of fear throughout her body and quickly reached for her pocket, only then realizing her phone had been taken away earlier.
Without thinking twice, Bai Yinyin pushed herself up and dashed out of the ancestral hall.
Liu Man, Bai Hongguang, and Chen Xiaomiao had gone off arguing, and now their whereabouts were unknown.
Bai Guofu and Bai Chuwei had each returned to their rooms to rest.
As Bai Yinyin burst into the villa’s main hall, the servants were cleaning the house. They were startled by her frantic dash back inside.
“Miss Yinyin, what happened to you? Weren’t you supposed to be kneeling in the ancestral hall? I advise you to go back and kneel. The old master is furious today; if he knows you sneaked out, you’re really going to be in trouble tomorrow,” the servant earnestly advised, though his eyes couldn’t hide his disdain.
This was his own daughter, yet she was causing so much trouble for her mother.
Bai Yinyin slapped her forehead, almost stumbling over her words in her anxiety, “Quick, lend me your phone! Just for five minutes!”
Without waiting for the servant’s agreement, Bai Yinyin snatched the servant’s phone and dashed back towards the direction of the ancestral hall.
She entered the browser, found a font website, and scanned the suspected “Bai Chuwei” characters on the gold plate, which were easily recognized.
Bai Yinyin watched the spinning circle on the phone screen, her heart in turmoil.
After about ten seconds, the font website identified three characters—”Bai Chuwei.” Content originally comes from noⅴelfire.net
Bai Yinyin’s legs gave out, and she crashed onto the cement floor, her eyes vacant, as if she had been bewitched.
Her lips, once vividly red, now turned deathly pale, devoid of any color, as she murmured, “Bai Chuwei… Bai Chuwei…”
Those three characters really were “Bai Chuwei”!
Could there be someone else with the same name?
Thinking of her grandfather’s reaction to Bai Chuwei, Bai Yinyin herself couldn’t believe it was just a coincidence of the same name!
The servant rushed in and quickly grabbed the phone, urging, “Miss Yinyin, you better kneel properly.”
The Bai Family’s ancestral hall was off-limits to servants; even cleaning was handled personally by the Bai family members, as a sign of respect for their ancestors.
After the servant took back his phone, he quickly ran out, closing the door of the ancestral hall behind him and leaving Bai Yinyin alone inside.
Bai Chuwei’s name was indeed on the Bai Family genealogy…
And it was the Bai Family’s first edition of the pure gold genealogy.
Bai Yinyin’s hands trembled as she touched it, and then she realized… Although some genealogical records had been lost during wars, judging by the stacks of genealogies, this one must be at least two thousand years old, right?
Could a person live that long?
The ancestor… was it really the ancestor?
Was she a fairy in disguise?
Bai Yinyin’s face was deathly pale, her breathing suddenly quickened, and these speculations swirled through her mind.
Her brain throbbed painfully, as though something was about to burst forth from her memories.
Suddenly, like a floodgate opened, her memories came rushing back—
That day she went to Bai Chuwei’s attic and saw the little paper figure that could do homework on its own.
