Chapter 26 Ling Yan He is your biological father.
"It wasn't the Ukiyo-e scroll that awakened, but the Amber Fire?"
Fu Xingwei took the mission report and read it briefly. He looked at the three people in front of him in surprise and asked,
"Are you sure?"
Shi Can lied without blinking and nodded:
"That should be right. I wasn't there at the time, but they both saw it."
Fu Xingwei breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Golden Amber Fire is fine, but it might be stronger than the Ukiyo-e scroll... The most important thing is, as long as it's not the Ukiyo-e scroll, she won't be a threat to those people."
Shi Chan sat down on the chair next to him and asked:
"Teacher, so you are from the Ling family?"
"I'm not taking sides."
Fu Xingwei put the report away and said,
"I just want my students to be safe. Go back to class. The bell will ring in two minutes."
Shi Can wanted to say something more, but Wen Miyan and Ye Yangjia each picked him up and dragged him back to the classroom.
"Let me go, I don't want to go to class, I want to take a leave!"
Shi Chan's voice echoed in the corridor.
"If your families won't let you take leave, don't drag me down with you... You're back at almost dawn, what kind of class are you supposed to be attending? Even cattle and horses don't work like that! Be careful of premature death! I need to go home and catch up on some sleep!"
"We share happiness and difficulties together."
Ye Yangjia said quietly,
"Want to go home and catch up on some sleep? Dream on."
Shi Chan attended classes all morning, but found an excuse to slip away at noon. He walked home with his schoolbag, crossed the yard, and entered the house. He changed his shoes and dozed off upstairs. As he reached the loft, he suddenly saw the grouper in the fish tank.
Shi Can pondered the fish tank for a while, then took out his phone:
"Old Hu, are you home? Bring a tool up to the jump floor, catch this fish, and stew it in the kitchen."
Shican went to make a cup of coffee while stewing the fish.
In addition to the fish soup, the chef also prepared several side dishes.
About an hour and a half later, Shi Can finally walked out with his thermos and lunch box, heading towards the Wen family's house. The Shi family and the Wen family were not far apart, and it only took a few steps to get there.
The people in the Wen family knew very well who Shi Can was visiting, and they were not surprised at all. They welcomed Shi Can into the house and enthusiastically took the thermos bucket and lunch box from his hands, saying that they would go to the kitchen to get bowls and plates and bring them over.
Lin Zhuyue's door was open.
Lin Zhuyue was already awake, sitting on the bed. Wen Miyan was beside her, chatting and laughing with her. The room smelled strongly of medicine, as if someone had just applied medicine to Lin Zhuyue.
Shi Chan knocked on the door and asked:
"Why are you home? Your lunch break should be over by now?"
Wen Miyan sneered and counterattacked:
"Only you are allowed to skip classes, but I am not allowed to?"
At this moment, Wen Miyan's phone rang. She picked up the phone and saw the name of the caller. Her eyes were shocked. She stood up and walked away while answering the phone:
"Hello, Mom? I didn't skip class. I just left my textbook at home. I'll go home and get it, and then I'll be back to school soon."
Shi Chan walked over to the bed.
Lin Zhuyue had obviously just woken up, and her hair was messy and flying. Shi Can looked at her hair and couldn't help but reach out and smooth it down a bit, straightening it a little.
Lin Zhuyue: "...?"
"The mission report has been submitted. It's a falsified report. We said in the report that the spiritual weapon you awakened was Golden Amber Fire, not Ukiyo-e Scroll."
Shi Chan sat down on the chair beside the bed and said,
"The Spiritual Master's Mansion seems to find this a bit strange and requires you to submit a separate mission report. When the time comes, you will write down exactly what I say."
Lin Zhuyue sighed and asked:
"Why is the Ukiyo-e scroll so shameful?"
"It's not that it's shameful, it's that some people can't stand it."
Shi Chan made sufficient mental preparation before speaking.
"Aren't you very curious about your relationship with Ling Yan?"
Lin Zhuyue nodded and asked:
"I'm not a relative on his mother's side, am I?"
"Well, no." Shi Can said, "You and the Ling family are directly related. Ling Yan is your biological father."
Lin Zhuyue showed a surprised expression.
"The Ling family is a large and powerful family in Tiancheng. This family is very special. Spiritual weapons are inherited. From the oldest to the youngest, the spiritual weapons are all floating world paintings. The floating world paintings are extremely powerful spiritual weapons and are also the symbol of the Ling family."
Shi Chan directly exposed the truth.
"A long time ago, the spiritual masters made a mistake, but this mistake happened to be the reason why the spiritual masters' power and influence grew. If it weren't for that mistake, there would be no Tiancheng and the Spiritual Master Mansion today."
"The Ling family intends to correct their mistakes. In Ling Yan's generation, they even achieved a practical breakthrough. This goes against the interests of many spiritual masters."
"To put it simply, he touched someone else's cake."
Shi Chan's tone was calm, but what he described was the turbulent waves of the past, which might still be going on now.
Shi Chan said slowly:
"After the incident with the Ling family, someone searched high and low to see if anyone in the Ling family was missing. Only you, who hadn't even been born yet and whose existence wasn't even known to your birth mother, escaped the investigation."
"It wasn't until the video of you fighting ghosts leaked out that the Spiritual Master's Mansion conducted a background check on you. Only then did they discover that the Ling family might have a child who was left behind."
Lin Zhuyue didn't know how to react.
When she was young, she once asked her mother who her father was and where he was. She was still eating candy at the time. When her mother heard this question, she angrily pushed her down and told her not to ask this question again.
She also lost a tooth at the time.
From then on, Lin Zhuyue would feel curious, but she would never ask again. Moreover, her curiosity about this question gradually diminished as she grew older. Because to her, her father was simply unnecessary.
Lin Zhuyue was surprised, and her brows knitted tightly together. She asked:
"Does my mother know that he is a spiritual master?"
Lin Zhuyue never knew the identity of her biological father, but she was very clear about one thing - her mother was an ordinary person compared to the spiritual masters in Tiancheng. Although she was a bloody killer in the business world, she had no special bloodline, could not summon spiritual weapons, and could not fight ghosts.
"have no idea."
Shi Can answered Lin Zhuyue's question,
"Ling Yan applied for informed consent from Tiancheng, and it was approved at the time. But he passed away before he could explain everything to your mother."
"The Spiritual Master House didn't know your mother was pregnant. Adhering to the principle of not harming innocent people, we decided not to reveal the truth to her."
Lin Zhuyue turned her head and took a deep breath. She felt pain in all ten of her fingers.
Unclear, unclear...
How did my mother bear all this?
"What the Ling family can use to correct that mistake is the spiritual weapon 'Floating World Painting Scroll' that has been passed down from generation to generation."
Shi Can said to Lin Zhuyue,
"Since you arrived in Tiancheng, you've been closely followed by certain eyes. Some worry that you'll continue what the Ling family hasn't accomplished. But if we can trick them into thinking your spiritual weapon isn't the 'Floating World Painting' but the 'Golden Amber Fire', they'll be reassured."
"By doing this, you will be in a much safer situation."
Lin Zhuyue lowered his eyes, his eyelids half closed:
"Is it really okay for you to tell me this?"
"This is a violation of the confidentiality agreement. Your informed consent has not yet been approved. Disclosing these matters to you is strictly prohibited by Tiancheng."
Shi Can crossed his legs and said,
"But other than that, there shouldn't be any other problems. My family has always sided with the Ling family, as has Wen Miyan's family. Ye Yangjia's family is relatively neutral. Oh, and by the way, my parents have a very good relationship with your dad too."
"After the incident with the Ling family, my family has secretly kept a photo. We haven't burned it yet, but it's a little old. I'll take you to see it later."
Lin Zhuyue nodded.
After a moment, she couldn't help but ask:
"What mistake does the Ling family want to correct?"
Shi Chan didn't answer, just shook his head at her.
This probably means that it cannot be said.
Lin Zhuyue didn't want to make things difficult for Shi Can, so she didn't pursue the matter any further.
...Will the informed consent be approved?
After a while, the fish soup and side dishes were served.
The nanny placed the food on a small round table a little far from the bed, then walked to the bed and helped Lin Zhuyue stand up and sit over.
Shi Can stood up and said:
"You take good care of your injuries. I'm going back first."
The wheelchair that Shi Can asked his family to help buy was delivered that evening. It was quite advanced, electric, and you could control the direction of the wheelchair yourself when you sat on it. The problem was that Wen Miyan's house didn't have an elevator, and no matter how advanced the wheelchair was, it couldn't learn to walk up stairs.
The pain from the injury on Lin Zhuyue's back worsened on the second day, but eased a lot on the third day. Although it was still very painful on the fourth day, he was able to stand up and walk around.
When she changed her clothes, she held a mirror and looked at herself at an angle opposite to the bathroom mirror. Her back was a horrifying black color, as if it was covered with bruises, as if she had been poisoned.
The mission report was also written under Shi Can's guidance. They didn't make many changes to the specific matters. Lin Zhuyue awakened his spiritual martial arts after encountering life-threatening danger, but only the golden amber fire appeared at that time, and there was no trace of any scroll at all.
Lin Zhuyue received an invitation.
It was delivered by Ye Yangjia himself.
His cousin was getting engaged, and the engagement party would be held in about two weeks, on a cruise ship. By then, Lin Zhuyue's back injury would probably be almost healed, so attending the dinner should be no problem.
"Shi Chan really washed the trunk of his A8L."
Ye Yangjia sat on the chair and complained,
"But he won't drive it even after washing it. Lately, he's been driving his Porsche to school every day, and people are staring at him every morning. He also reportedly ordered a Bentley, but hasn't received it yet. Why doesn't he just buy a helicopter?"
Wen Miyan said, "Yes."
Ye Yangjia almost dropped the potato chips in his hand: "Huh?"
"When we were in elementary school, wasn't there a sailing competition on the sea? Shican watched it from a helicopter."
Wen Miyan took a potato chip from the bag in Ye Yangjia's hand, put it in her mouth and chewed it, then said,
"I don't know where it's usually parked, but it's definitely not on the top floor of the Spiritual Master's Mansion. It might have been sold, or it might be somewhere else in the Shi family's property."
Lin Zhuyue leaned back, not caring whether his back hurt or not, and leaned directly on the pillow.
Wen Miyan asked, "Chasing the Moon?"
Lin Zhuyue said, "I was wondering if my family has a helicopter... By the way, are spiritual masters so rich?"
"How much money can a spiritualist make from completing missions? Let's divide it among everyone. During the apprentice spiritualist stage, no matter how difficult the mission is, he can only make a few figures at most. The first few are not enough for him to buy a car."
Wen Miyan waved her hand and said,
"Shican's family doesn't make money from this at all. They have other businesses. Even if something big happens to the spiritualist business in the future and they can't continue to do it, he and his family will be able to get out of it safely."
"But he's quite professional. Even though he deserves a beating, he seems determined to stay on the path of a spiritual master until the end."
