The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5660

“What… What did you say?!” Vera’s casually spoken words made Charlie feel like his whole body had gone numb. This was not an exaggeration. He genuinely felt a tingling sensation from his scalp to his toes!

Vera claimed that she had witnessed the Mother of Pu’er Tea failing to overcome calamity by the Heavenly Lake three hundred years ago. Did that mean she was now over three hundred years old?!

Charlie couldn't believe Vera’s statement at first. After all, even if a person truly found the path to longevity, it was usually a gradual process.

People might start cultivating in one's twenties or thirties, but it was often possible for cultivation to take place around the age of fifty or sixty, or even older.

As one’s cultivation deepened, one’s lifespan would extend, but even a cultivator over a hundred years old, like the great earl from Qing Eliminating Society, retained the appearance of a man at around sixty years old.

If Vera was truly over three hundred years old, she should look at least sixty or seventy, or even seventy to eighty years old. How could she possibly maintain the appearance of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl?

Even Charlie, who had started cultivating when he was only in his twenties, had absolutely no way to return to the state when he was seventeen to eighteen years old.

When Vera saw that Charlie seemed somewhat skeptical of her words, she asked nervously, “Young Master, do you think that I’m joking with you?”

Charlie nodded subconsciously, then shook his head and said, “I’m just a bit shocked…”

As he spoke, he asked curiously, “Why are you suddenly addressing me as ‘Young Master’?”

The majestic and endless mountains and the Heavenly Lake in the valley looked like a mirror. The scenery in the painting was so natural and vivid that it seemed to leap off the paper, deeply captivating Charlie in an instant.

Charlie had never imagined that the artistic conception of a landscape painting could be so enchanting. Every stroke seemed perfect and impeccable. The last time he had seen such a stunning artwork was the portrait of Marcius Stark that Madam Jenson had given him.

Yet, the painting skills in this work were even more profound than that painting.

Just then, Vera, with her delicate jade-like hand, pointed to the tall and lush tree beside the Heavenly Lake in the painting, and said to Charlie, “Young Master, this is the Mother of Pu’er Tea that I mentioned. This is how it looked like three hundred years ago.”

She moved her finger to the silhouette of a person under the tree and continued, “This is me. For some time, I used to sit under this tea tree every day, drinking tea, and enjoying looking at the mountains and the water.”
