Chapter 286 - Blood Test

Yun Mingshen was silent after hearing her explanation. He had long since expected that his aunt would have died, since she never looked for him after things settled down, but one thing was to accept it, another was to know what had happened.

His aunt, Yun Jingfeng, had grown up as a princess in the Yun family. She had always been greatly talented for cultivation, and she had also been reasonable and kind.

The only time she had caused her family to feel distress was just before the accident happened where she returned and told their patriarch, her father, that she had gotten pregnant.

Although Yun Mingshen was very young back then, he still remembered the scene where she was standing in the middle of the ancestral hall. Her head was held high and her eyes was full of unyielding love and determination.

She had refused to tell them who the father was, but from her expression it was clear that she truly loved him and that her pregnancy was not a result of unwilling a.s.sault.

Back then, the young Yun Mingshen had been looking forward to seeing what kind of cousin would be born, but soon after the disaster struck, so it was impossible to find out the true background of the child's father.

At the same time, Yun Mingshen was painfully aware that Yun Jingfeng had put herself and her most beloved child at risk to ensure that he could survive. Even up until now, he had refused to let go of his ident.i.ty token from the Yun family because he felt that he owed his aunt and parents much more than he could ever repay.

However, now that he was told that his cousin was sitting right in front of him, he suddenly felt so unreal that he could not react. His thoughts had become sluggish and his eyes were unfocused.

Bai Rouyun could see the change in his body, but she was not aware of what her information meant to him. She did not know what kind of connection her late mother and this man shared with one another, but she understood that it was more than just a nodding acquaintance.

"We have to make a bloodtest."

Bai Rouyun had already been somewhat prepared when she heard Yun Mingshen's words, but her heart still trembled after hearing the certainty and hope in the man's voice.

A blood test was a special method where one would use the blood of the two bodies to see if they shared the same kinship. The herbs used for this blood test was very rare and expensive so it was not done often, but all these thoughts did not seem to matter for Yun Mingshen as he looked at Bai Rouyun with flaming eyes.

There were different methods to determine a person's ident.i.ty and origin. The most certain method would be to use a soul stone, however there were many requirements for this to happen.

A soul stone had to be made when a baby had just been brought into the world. It was a special kind of stone that had the soul imprint of a person hidden within, and this soul imprint would only react to that one person for the rest of one's life. Even if the body changed or the person was close to death, the soul stone could not be fooled.

It was also the soul stone that had brought Bai Mulan to Bai Rouyun, and due to the certainty of these stones, it was impossible for her to pretend otherwise.

However, the ident.i.ty token that Yun Mingshen was using relied on kinship. Each of the prominent families on the Wushi Continent had their own bloodline, and the token would only activate if the person had gained bloodline approval.

The only ones who would automatically gain bloodline approval were the ones from the direct branch of descendants, any others would need a bloodline approval when making an unbreakable oath of loyalty.

Another method, when the token was not available, or if one needed to be completely sure, one could do the bloodtest. The bloodtest did not look for ones bloodline, but to see if the two people had a family relationship. This kind of test could be used for members of different families as well.

Bai Rouyun did not have any emotional barriers by accepting Yun Mingshen as her cousin. Although she had been reborn, Xiao Bao had already explained to her that both her previous life, and the original soul within this life was actually the same.

In an earlier reincarnation, Bai Rouyun's soul had been harmed so badly that it had fragmented, and the two different lives were actually two fragments of the same soul. Now that Bai Rouyun had taken over this body, her soul had become stronger, as it was more complete than before.

As such, Bai Rouyun had long since considered both her past and present lives as herself. Although her memories from before the merge of her soul was gone, she still knew that the body belonged to her, so she had no qualms about taking everything that had belonged to this body from birth.

"Sir, Madam, I am sorry for having eavesdropped on your conversation, but if you wish, I can provide the herbs and location for a bloodtest."

The waiter, that had been standing by the side, finally decided to speak up. He was shocked but also thrilled to see such a development in the store, as it would improve the store's reputation among the guests from the Wushi Continent.

Initially, Yun Mingshen was uncertain as to whether or not he should accept the offer. It was not that he doubted the Yutu Restaurant, but he felt that he needed to oversee the entire process on his own to feel convinced, but after considering it, he still nodded his head.

These experts would not be able to pull any tricks when he was around.
