Dream Technology (4)
"The genetic test results show that the two are indeed related, but the exact number of generations apart... I'm sorry, without knowing the other line's genetic profile, I can't make a specific determination."
The old marshal's personal doctor sent the results of the genetic test to the two through the intelligent brain.
Shi Jianxia was sitting on the sofa in the lounge, still a little stunned by this affirmative answer.
With the strange thought that 'I might really have the aura of a time-traveling protagonist', she agreed to the old marshal's request for a genetic test, never expecting such a great thing to fall from the sky.
She couldn't understand the bunch of professional terms, but she recognized the last line of words.
It is supported that Yunshang and Shi Jianxia are blood relatives.
It's a clear sentence that doesn't need to be analyzed or interpreted. Even a human child who hasn't even graduated from elementary school can understand what it means.
Seeing the silence in the atmosphere, the doctor knew that this matter would take time to digest, and it would not be appropriate for him, an outsider, to continue staying here, so he took the initiative to leave the lounge and leave them some space to be alone together.
Shi Jianxia really didn't know how to react, so she simply lowered her head and stared at the virtual screen, as if a unique and exotic flower had bloomed on it, making her unable to take her eyes off it.
The old marshal had changed out of his marshal's uniform and put on ordinary casual clothes. He seemed to have anticipated this result and laughed heartily a few times. When he looked at Shi Jianxia, his eyes were no longer as restrained as before, but filled with an unconcealable kindness.
Come to think of it, given his status and position, he must have been certain of his own accord when he took the initiative to approach her and say, "You might be my daughter's direct blood relative." Otherwise, it would have been a big joke and both parties would have been embarrassed.
The Federation, which was facing the Zerg's unbridled expansion but was powerless to stop it, needed Shi Jianxia's life-saving remedy. Even if the two were not related, the old marshal would make this matter a reality with his cunning and broad-mindedness.
After all, there is no bond stronger than blood.
He stayed in the rear and became her backer, so Shi Jianxia no longer had to worry about those short-sighted villains in the Federal Parliament who were only interested in fighting for power.
The old marshal looked at Shi Jianxia with satisfaction. Having experienced many vicissitudes of life, he asked with some trepidation, "Girl, can I call you Xia Xia?"
Shi Jianxia assumed the worst, but didn't feel the need to distance himself from the old marshal. Hearing his question, he nodded obediently, "You can call me whatever you want."
The old marshal had spent most of his life in the military and didn't like those roundabout ways. He immediately said, "Xia Xia, Xia Xia, what a good name."
He sighed, "After my girl disappeared, I often thought, she was so smart and pretty, she would definitely not be eaten by the Zerg, and there would be a kind-hearted person who would rescue her. But after so many years of searching, my partner is gone, and I still haven't found her."
"I've lived to this age, thinking I could only meet her after death. Unexpectedly, the incident on Tianchen Star allowed me to see you."
"To be honest, I was certain you were my granddaughter before I came here."
It was just as he guessed, but Shi Jianxia was still quite curious about how the old marshal was sure of this "certainty".
Seeing her curiosity, the old marshal didn't keep her in suspense and said directly: "My wife is the bloodline inheritor of the mimicry of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and she is the only one left in her lineage. If someone in the Federation awakens the mimicry of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, it must be my bloodline and hers."
"I've only heard her describe this mimicry. According to her, no one in her family has awakened the mimicry of the Classic of Mountains and Seas in a long, long time. Even she only knows one side of it, not the other."
It’s like this!
The old marshal continued, "But I have kept all the things she left behind. I can't understand or study them, but maybe they can be useful to you."
At this point, he winked mischievously, "How about you accompany me home to get it and have a meal with me?"
This almost proves that the old marshal did not fabricate the story of the two people's relationship for the benefit of the federation.
Shi Jianxia had no reason to refuse, and the old marshal gave her a very good impression, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
The old marshal probably noticed that she was still a little reserved, so he smiled nonchalantly and extended his hand to her, "Girl, hold me by your side. Don't worry about whether I'm your grandfather, great-grandfather, or great-great-grandfather. Just call me Grandpa, and don't use those empty names."
The average lifespan of interstellar people is around 200 years old. If those with special abilities can live safely and smoothly, they can live to 300 or 400 years old. There are not many people who live to 500 years old. The old marshal is definitely considered to have a long life, which is inseparable from his holy realm.
Although he had a head full of silver hair, his spirit and energy were no less than those of the seven marshals in office in the Federation. He also did not have wrinkles and age spots on his skin like an ordinary old man. In fact, his condition was about the same as that of a middle-aged man in his forties.
The reason why people feel that he is old is because of his eyes and the calm temperament around him. He has experienced too many things, and the traces left on him by the baptism of more than 600 years cannot be hidden.
Shi Jianxia supported him without much effort. She understood that the old marshal wanted to get closer to her, and she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
The two were about to leave Xingcheng Hospital when they were caught off guard by the sight of a row of floating cars parked at the door, with license plates that either had consecutive numbers or auspicious numbers. They were both stunned.
Jiang Wenzhan hurriedly got out of the car and walked over. Seeing Shi Jianxia holding the old marshal, he was stunned at first, but when he reacted, he immediately asked with concern: "Mr. Yun, I rushed over when I heard you were at Xingcheng Hospital. Are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
The old marshal has been retired for more than half a century. His wife passed away early, and his only daughter has not been heard from since she disappeared. He has lived alone for so many years.
Jiang Wenzhan was brought up by him, so he has a certain affection for him. He visits him during every festival and cares about him more than anyone else.
The old marshal waved his hand. "What's the big deal? I'm fine! I can live another three to five hundred years without any problem. Those rats who want to stir up trouble should consider whether they have the ability to do so. It's best if they hide in their rat den before I die. If they are caught by me, I don't care who is behind them, I will execute them!"
The people who got off the hovercraft right after him listened to his powerful innuendos, some lowered their brows, some lowered their eyes, not daring to show the slightest displeasure. Even Wen Zekai, who was the most capable and capable, had to keep his tail between his legs and didn't dare to say a word.
nonsense!
Even if the sun sets in the west, it can still dim the fireflies.
After six hundred years of sedimentation and accumulation, no one knows how terrifying the strength of this powerful Saint Realm master is.
Jiang Wenzhan let out a long sigh and asked hesitantly, "Then why are you here..."
When this was mentioned, the old marshal's imposing aura subsided, and a kind and gentle smile appeared on his face. The speed of the change was astonishing.
He patted the back of Shi Jianxia's hand and introduced her in a clear voice: "Come here and meet her. This is my little granddaughter who I just found. She is still young and naive, but she looks well-behaved and has a good temper. You should take good care of her from now on and don't let anyone bully her."
Everyone present: “…”
Wen Zekai's eyes almost popped out of his head. He suspected that there might be something wrong with his ears, and immediately turned around to seek approval from the people around him.
I saw that several colleagues who usually kept a low profile either had their mouths wide open as if they had swallowed an egg raw, or twisted their feet and almost fell to the ground. Su Xunyang, who was the most reckless, blurted out "fuck", causing everyone to stare at him, even the old marshal looked over with a look of displeasure.
Su Xunyang reacted incredibly quickly, "Great! When I first met Ms. Xia, I felt she had an extraordinary temperament and was definitely a rare talent. I never thought she was your granddaughter, old Marshal. Like a grandfather, like a grandson. Great!"
Shi Jianxia: "..."
This guy used to call her a little girl all the time, but it was really unusual for him to have a big backer. She admitted that she was very happy.
The others: “…”
How come I never realized you had such a clever tongue? You're just acting on the situation, aren't you?
Wen Zekai, who was almost choked to death by Su Xunyang's words, almost had a myocardial infarction on the spot.
Jiang Wenzhan also felt that Su Xunyang's flattery was too shameless. He cleared his throat to cover up his embarrassment and said with a kind smile, "This is truly a happy event. We must celebrate it properly. What do you think we need to prepare? I'll have someone arrange it right away."
First, there was Su Xunyang's exaggerated flattery, and then there was Jiang Wenzhan's calm courtesy. Several marshals couldn't help but secretly curse the two for being shameless, but they had already taken the initiative, so they had to follow suit and say some compliments.
Shi Jianxia felt very comfortable being praised, and gave a shy smile to the several federal bosses who had been aggressive towards her before, confirming the evaluation of her as 'well-behaved and good-tempered'.
Everyone was speechless. Since they didn't know the inside story like Jiang Wenzhan, they all wondered in their hearts how Shi Jianxia became the old marshal's granddaughter.
If they had told me about this relationship earlier, they wouldn't have been so anxious to force him into taking action.
What a big pit!
The old marshal was very satisfied with their reaction. "No need. I'll take Xia Xia home for dinner. Please don't publicize our grandparent-grandchild relationship too much to avoid unnecessary trouble. You guys can just look after her."
Everyone responded in agreement.
Ji Yang, who was caught in the middle, was also confused and had no idea what was going on.
After watching the two people leave in the hovercraft, Jiang Wenzhan was immediately surrounded by a crowd, and everyone asked him what was going on.
Jiang Wenzhan hadn't experienced being surrounded and questioned like this for a long time. He suddenly felt overwhelmed and told the story of the old marshal's daughter's disappearance in her early years.
Su Xunyang touched his chin and said, "Isn't this too coincidental?"
Everyone present was extraordinary to have reached their current position, and they couldn't help but speculate on the truthfulness of the old marshal's recognition of his relatives.
It was indeed a coincidence that Shi Jianxia became the old marshal's granddaughter. No one in the Federal Parliament dared to do anything to her. Even if someone with malicious intentions wanted to accuse her of being an undercover agent of Higanbana and pretending to surrender, they had to ask the old marshal for his consent.
The old marshal has been worrying about the Zerg invasion all his life. If the two of them reach some kind of consensus, the fake can become real.
Ji Yang looked around at the marshals with varying expressions and chuckled, "This is the old marshal's family affair. Why are we prying into it so much? The most urgent task is to uproot the red spider lilies and drive the Zerg out of this universe."
A group of hungry wolves could no longer attack the little white rabbit that had strayed into the pack, so they could only turn their eyes outward and try to get a bigger share of the pie in future group hunts.
Regardless of whether the relationship between the two is true or false, at least for the current federation, there are only benefits and no disadvantages.
Ji Yang left first, followed closely by Jiang Wenzhan and Su Xunyang. The remaining five marshals did not want to stay and be watched like monkeys, and the hovercrafts drove away quickly.
-
Shi Jianxia sent a message to Gongye Jiwang to report that he was safe, and told him that he would be back later, and then he arrived at his residence with the old marshal.
It was not the luxurious manor she had imagined, but a very ordinary community.
When getting off the hovercraft and walking into the community, many elderly people who were playing with their children greeted the old marshal enthusiastically.
"Lao Yun, where were you this morning? I didn't see you square dancing. Hey, why haven't I seen the girl next to you? She's so pretty! Is she your granddaughter?"
The old marshal said cheerfully, "It's my little granddaughter. She came back to see me today. I went to pick her up."
Shi Jianxia really didn't expect the old marshal to be so down-to-earth. She gave a shy smile to a series of grandparents who praised her.
After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic neighbors, the old marshal took Shi Jianxia into a courtyard. It had a very retro pastoral style and was surrounded by a two-meter-high fence.
Vegetables and fruits were planted under the walls on both sides, and there was a very tall and big jujube tree in the middle. Behind the jujube tree was a three-story building with flying eaves and tiled roofs, which made Shi Jianxia feel like he had returned to the time before he traveled through time.
Seeing her surprised expression, the old marshal explained, "This courtyard was designed by your grandmother based on the drawings passed down from our ancestors. What do you think?"
Shi Jianxia praised: "I think it's great. Living here will make your mood become gentle and peaceful, right?"
The old marshal laughed heartily. "That's right. I like it too. I'll live here forever."
There are no teams of soldiers protecting us, and no layers of secret guards and sentries.
Indeed, who would be so tactless as to dare to cause trouble to the Saint Realm masters? They would probably come alive but not leave.
The old marshal pushed the door open first and walked into the room. He then turned sideways and waved to Shi Jianxia, "Today I'll let you taste my grandfather's cooking skills."
Shi Jianxia smiled and said "Okay". The alienation in his heart due to the unfamiliarity dissipated a lot, and he took the initiative to say: "Then I will help you pick the vegetables."
"Don't worry, don't worry. Come in and have a cup of sugar water first, and take a look at the gift grandpa gave you." The old marshal took off his coat and put it on a chair. He boiled hot water from the kitchen, soaked some rock sugar and handed it to Shi Jianxia.
Before Shi Jianxia traveled through time, he had received such hospitality when visiting relatives during festivals and holidays, but there seemed to be no such custom in the interstellar era, which he found novel.
She thanked the old marshal and slowly drank the sugar water.
The old marshal went into the house again to look for his gift, and soon came out holding a half-meter-high black box.
Shi Jianxia quickly stood up to answer it, but heard him say, "Sit down, sit down."
The black box was placed on the table with a soft clang.
Shi Jianxia felt a little embarrassed, "No need to be so troublesome."
After so many years in the interstellar era, except for enjoying her father's love when she was a child, she has almost always lived a life of intrigue and worry. She was caught off guard by someone being so nice to her, and she was a little uncomfortable.
The old marshal smiled mysteriously and said, "You must like it."
After saying that, he took out a black and gold key from the space bracelet. On the key handle was a mark that Shi Jianxia was very familiar with. It was the ancient mark that appeared between her eyebrows when she absorbed the star core in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
She widened her eyes slightly.
There was only a slight clicking sound from the turning gears, and the black box opened a narrow gap. The tremendous energy trapped inside rushed out impatiently. The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in the spiritual power spring seemed to sense something and flew out spontaneously.
The golden diamond-shaped crystal was placed in the black box, emitting sparkling starlight from the inside out. The energy it contained was even greater than the fifth star core she absorbed in the deep sea.
Shi Jianxia held his breath, unable to believe that he had seen another star core so soon.
The old marshal smiled and asked, "Do you like it?"
It was difficult for Shi Jianxia to say that she didn't like it against her will, so she nodded.
She could refuse everything else, but the star core was something she absolutely could not give up, especially after she had been used as a bargaining chip by others time and time again.
The old marshal pushed the star core toward her. "This is a gift from your grandmother and I. She said that obtaining the star core might help you awaken the mimicry of the Classic of Mountains and Seas. Unfortunately, she passed away before I could find it."
"Now I give it to you, she will be very happy."
