The escort agency was originally meant to deal with all sorts of people from every walk of life. Although Chen Ping was born into a wealthy family, he was not a noble himself. His ancestors had been nobles, but the grace of a gentleman's line is cut off by the fifth generation. By his generation they no longer inherited the family title, so his grandfather split off from the clan, and, borrowing the family's influence, founded the Dragon Tiger Escort Agency, transplanting the name of Dragon Tiger Mountain for his own use.
Though he was not a noble, his relations with the main clan were not bad, and he held considerable sway in Jinling City.
People say that once the family branches off, they live separately; but after the branch family split, did his grandfather stop being his grandfather? Did he cease to be of the Chen Family bloodline in Jinling? Did he stop being the old Patriarch of the Chen Family's grandson?
