CHAPTER 1013: CHAPTER 1010: DIVINING MY ORIGINS?

"Please go ahead, as long as I can do it." Lin Tian said solemnly.

Yun Hongxi hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "At my age, I’m afraid I won’t live to see that day, Xiao Tian, could you call me grandpa?"

Lin Tian understood what Mr. Yun meant by "won’t live to see that day." The old man was getting on in years and might not live to see the day when Yun Tian appeared. Lin Tian lowered his head in silence, then looked up and said, "Grandpa."

"Ah..." Mr. Yun responded, filled with complex emotions, as a single tear silently slipped from the corner of his eye.

"If you are willing, the Yun Family will be your biggest support from now on. If anyone bullies you outside, come back and tell Grandpa." Mr. Yun said with a smile, and even his wrinkles seemed to smooth out a bit.

"Alright." Lin Tian replied, although he didn’t really need the Yun Family to back him up.

"I’m a bit tired, can’t keep up with you young folks, I’ll go rest now." Yun Hongxi smiled, signaling Yun Haoyu to push him back to his room.

Watching the old man’s back, Lin Tian sighed silently, feeling helpless. The only thing he could do for the old man was to cure his legs as soon as possible and help him stand again.

"Xiao Tian, what a pity." Wang Wanxi said softly, looking carefully at Lin Tian.

Whether or not it was a pity, Lin Tian didn’t know, but he knew that Wang Wanxi’s sadness was no less than Yun Hongxi’s. Yun Hongxi was filled with longing for his grandson and guilt for his inability to protect him, and Wang Wanxi felt the same.

"Aunt Wang, Xiao Tian, is there no other way besides DNA testing?" Lin Tian asked, frowning.

Wang Wanxi thought for a moment and shook her head, "Apart from a DNA test, the only mark on Yun Tian’s body is the birthmark on his back. Other than that, there’s no other way to tell."

"Does Brother Lin have a birthmark on his back?" Yun Xiaotian asked.

"I told Aunt Wang that my back was severely injured, and all marks were erased by the scars." Lin Tian shook his head.

Yun Xiaotian’s expression darkened, and a complex look flashed in his eyes. Lin Tian patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiao Tian, we’re grown men, no need to be so sentimental. Whether we’re biologically brothers or not, I’ll always be your Brother Lin."

"As long as there’s emotion, does it matter if there’s a blood relationship? Some bonds are stronger than blood. Besides, I believe that the power of blood will eventually bring you and Yun Tian together." Lin Tian spoke awkwardly yet every word made sense.

"Yes, I believe in Brother Lin. Now that I have Brother Lin, I’m already very grateful to the heavens." Yun Xiaotian smiled upon hearing Lin Tian’s words, and a bright light shone in his eyes, making Lin Tian a little dazed.

Wang Wanxi looked at Lin Tian, nodding slightly, gratitude in her eyes. Lin Tian blinked, indicating he understood her meaning, and that seeing Yun Xiaotian smile happily was what he also desired to see.

"Well, today may have had some regrets, but with what you said, Lin Tian, the situation doesn’t seem too bad. I must say, you’re quite good at comforting people." Wang Wanxi also smiled and said.

"But..." Wang Wanxi paused and then continued, "But, Xiao Tian, you’re so outstanding, and charming, why are you still single?"

Though they were talking about Yun Tian, why did it turn to the topic of a girlfriend? Lin Tian said helplessly, "Aunt Wang, you see, I’m still young, not suited for dating."

"Haha, still young? Not suited for dating?" Wang Wanxi laughed while gazing at Lin Tian, "As far as I know, you dated when you were in tenth grade, right, at sixteen?"

"Uh, I can explain, it was the girl who pursued me, and then we just got along well. But I assure you, it was just hand-holding, we were very innocent." Lin Tian said awkwardly.

It wasn’t the dating itself that embarrassed him, but rather the fact that after years of dating, it was still limited to hand-holding; it was indeed quite pure.

Of course, in Lin Tian’s view, he surely thought he was pure, but others might see him as foolish.

"What about Xiao Manxuan or Xiao Manxue now? The Xiao sisters are stunning beauties." Wang Wanxi said playfully with a smile.

"The Xiao sisters? One is my employer, the other is my boss, and they’re also single." Lin Tian explained.

Wang Wanxi shook her head slightly and said, "No matter what, just remember one thing, don’t let girls get hurt, and that’s enough."

Lin Tian was a bit surprised, he thought Wang Wanxi would say things like "be faithful" or "don’t bully girls," but he didn’t expect her to say that.

"Alright, I will remember." Lin Tian nodded.

"You guys continue chatting, I’ll be leaving now." Wang Wanxi said finally and left.

Yun Xiaotian escorted Lin Tian back to Yunxiang Inn, saw Zi Yan waiting in the living room, and he left after just greeting from outside.

"Sister, how do you have time to come find me?" Lin Tian asked curiously.

Zi Yan did not answer his question and instead asked, "Was there a result?"

"You know?" Lin Tian asked suspiciously.

"The old man originally intended for my master to witness, but my master felt that after all, it was a Yun family matter, so he didn’t go. Thus, I only knew that the Yun family was getting a kinship test with you today, but I didn’t know the result." Zi Yan explained.

So that’s how it was, Lin Tian nodded. Jiang Xiu Ying had been Yun Hongxi’s attending physician for twenty years. It’s not an exaggeration to say Jiang Xiu Ying extended the old man’s life; they might even have some history. The Yun family’s trust in Jiang Xiu Ying was no less than his own.

"Luckily, Elder Jiang didn’t go; otherwise, he’d just have been frightened." Lin Tian said.

Then, Lin Tian told Zi Yan about what happened during the kinship test, of course, omitting his own secrets and only narrating the surface events.

After hearing it, Zi Yan frowned and thought for a long time but couldn’t figure it out, "Things are too abnormal, the equipment kept burning out, and the test result was still a bunch of garbled codes, it’s inexplicable."

"Sister, don’t you have the Imperial Pole Worldly Book? Why not help me calculate my background?" Lin Tian suddenly thought of this and asked.

"Calculating the Heavenly Mechanism requires a suitable opportunity, favorable timing, location, and people. If the opportunity hasn’t come, even Gui Guzi reincarnated could not calculate it. Also, didn’t I help you calculate life and death last time? The result was a complete blank." Zi Yan glanced at Lin Tian and said.

"Oh, I remember, and that’s when the Imperial Pole Worldly Book initiated the Imperial Pole Reorganization. But if it can’t be calculated, it can’t be calculated. Life is unpredictable, and if everything could be known in advance, where would the excitement of living in this world be?" Lin Tian said philosophically.

Zi Yan looked at Lin Tian and smiled, "Little brother speaks very well, I believe that when the opportunity comes for your background, the truth will come to light."
