Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Pull over, Chen! Pull over!” Ling Tianci shouted.

“Yes, Boss!”

The truck ground to a halt on the side of the road. Ling Tianci stared at the screen of his cell. “The eyes, nose, mouth... I-It is almost cast in the same mold!”

“What mold, Boss?” The driver poked his head over.

“Help me take a look at this, Chen. Does this girl look like me?” Lin Tianci held his cell over.

“Err... You bet. She looks like you. Who is she, Boss?”

“My daughter.”

Ling Tianci shivered with excitement. “Are you still there, Ling Jiu?”

“I’m here.”

“She is your younger sister! Biological sister!”

Ling Tianci sounded emotional. “She looks like the younger version of your mom, cast from the same mold. I am a hundred percent sure she is my daughter!”

“I had a blood test just now. The result proves that she is my biological sister.” Ling Jiu forced a smile. “The question is, where does she come from?”

Ling Tianci was silent for a while. “I am not sure about that. Probably your mom was pregnant when she left.”

“We will find that out later. But one thing was sure,” Ling Jiu said slowly. “The president of Yang Group is not my mom.”

“Why is that?” Ling Tianci was startled.

“Because Ling’er has nothing to do with her,” Ling Jiu said. “She was born to an ordinary single-parent family in Chang’an Base City, not having the slightest relationship with the Yang family, and definitely not Yang Su’s daughter.”

This was also the reason Ling Jiu was willing to befriend Yang Ling’er.

When he first met Yang Ling’er, he thought she came from the Yang family, and so was lukewarm towards her.

After Ai Yuhe introduced her to him and knowing that she had nothing to do with the Yang family, his attitude towards her immediately changed.

“How could it be possible? No way I would mistake someone else as her. She is your mom. No way I could make that mistake,” Lin Tianci mumbled to himself.

“Don’t think too much, Dad. I will find that out later. I will let you know as soon as I know the outcome.”

...

After hanging up, Ling Jiu could not help but sigh. “Big headache!”

Forget it, leave it to another time. No rush. Before figuring out the truth, though, I better not tell Ling’er.

Thinking of this, Ling Jiu returned to the training camp hospital. He talked to Dr. Zhao, asking him not to tell the test result to Ling’er.

“Sure.” Dr. Zhao agreed at once.

“How are they?” asked Ling Jiu.

“They have just taken the medication. They are recovering fast.”

“Thank you, Dr. Zhao.”

Three days had passed since when Ling Jiu came out of the Twelve Underground Chambers and went to the training camp hospital. A nurse on duty told him the two girls had regained consciousness and recovered faster.

He felt a sense of relief, thinking of visiting them tomorrow. But he heard the two girls’ voices in the room, so he pushed the door open and walked in.

The two girls looked over at him.

“Who do you two feel?”

Ling Jiu had a smile on his face.

“We are good!”

Ai Yuhe had that grateful look on her face. “I heard from the nurse, Wang, it was you who saved us. I can’t say enough thank you.”

“We are friends, remember? If you were I, you would have done the same to me, wouldn’t you?”

Ling Jiu put up a hand. “If you want to thank me, buy me two bowls of Biang Biang noodles when we are back in Chang’an Base City.”

“Thank you, no matter what,” said Ai Yuhe.

“Think nothing of it!”

Ling Jiu smiled. He looked at Ling’er, emotions, especially affinity, filling his eyes.

No matter how Ling’er came about, she was his biological sister, just like Xiaotong.

Feeling uncomfortable with his stare, Ling’er looked down. “Thank you for saving our lives, Ling Jiu. I really appreciate it.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Ling Jiu let out a sigh. Seeing her still-pale face, very much like how delicate Xiaotong was when she was sick, he could not help but hold her hand and comforted her. “Have a good rest. You will be out of the hospital soon.”

Ling Jiu’s sudden action scared Yang Ling’er; she immediately pulled her hand back.

Only then he realized he had made an embarrassing gaffe. “What happened to your legs, Ling’er?” he immediately changed the conversation.

“Leg?”

Yang Ling’er was startled. “I met with a car accident when I was small. My legs were amputated.”

“Amputated?”

Ling Jiu took a deep breath. “Have a good rest, you two.”

After saying that, he left, leaving the two girls looking at each other in confusion.

“Did you feel something wasn’t quite right with Ling Jiu today?” Yang Ling’er asked.

“Is Ling Jiu into you, Ling’er?”

Ai Yuhe got a little jealous. The way Ling Jiu looked at Ling’er was not the same as the way he looked at her.

“What are you talking about?” Yang Ling’er rolled her eyes at Ai Yuhe. “How could he be into a person like me?”

“Oh, really? Then why was he so concerned about you? He even held your hand!”

“Err... How am I going to know?”

...

When Ling Jiu was back at the dorm, Shi Gang was still surfing the net. He gave Shi Gang a nod of acknowledgement and took out his own microcomputer to surf the Mall.

He was looking for a Treasure of Heaven and Earth that could regenerate amputated limbs.

When Yang Ling’er was still a friend, an acquaintance, her legs were not of concern to him.

But now things changed; she was his sister now. He couldn’t bear to see her without a pair of legs, so he wanted to help her walk again.

It wanted it as a gift, from a brother to a sister.

“If my memory doesn’t fail me, there are some Treasures of Heaven and Earth that could regrow amputated limbs sold in the Mall.”

“Found it!”

Nine-Hearted Plumleaf Crab Apple: Rosaceae, grow up to 7 meters, without thorns, with cylindrical branchlets, magenta in color, with oval or long oval leaves.

Nine-Hearted Plumleaf Crab Apple possesses strong vitality. It is known as the Fruit of Life, which has a potent healing effect, including bringing the dead back to life, regrowing flesh and amputated limbs. It is the best Treasure of Heaven and Earth for treating physical trauma.

Class: Premium Treasure of Heaven and Earth

Price: 1,000 contribution points.

“This sounds good!”

Ling Jiu decided on the Nine-Hearted Plumleaf Crab Apple. After filling up the order form with his delivery address, he was informed that Australia was out of the delivery area—the order could not be delivered.

“What the heck?”

Ling Jiu had no word for it. In this case, no matter what he bought from the Mall, they were not going to be delivered. Great!

“The only way is to get the camp head’s help.”

He let out a sigh. There was a logistic channel between the training camp and the company. If he could ask for the camp head’s help, he might get his thing delivered.

“I will see the camp head tomorrow.”

“Holy moly! I can’t believe it! Someone has found such a gem!”

Shi Gang called out suddenly. “Come, take a look at this, Ling Jiu!”

“What is it about?” Ling Jiu frowned.

“The Spring of Life!” Shi Gang was wowed. “Someone from the training camp just posted a photo, saying that he found a Spring of Life in Mount Kosciuszko! It’s a Spring of Life, formed by liquified Gene Arcana. How quick our self-cultivation would be if we could get our hands on it and drink from it every day?”

“The Spring of Life?” Ling Jiu came up to take a closer look. “This is the Spring of Life? Hey, what is that plant in the middle of the spring?”

“That guy says it is a Ginseng of Life.”
