Chapter 1059 - 1059 Old Acquaintance
1059 Old Acquaintance
Thinking about how her father had trained in the Cang Lang Continent back then, Yu Huang felt that it was very likely that he knew this man called Si Cheng. Yu Huang pretended to be surprised and asked Si Cheng, “Mr. Si Cheng, could it be that you knew my father?”
“Hmph.” Si Cheng didn’t answer this question directly. Instead, he asked Yu Huang, “Why is your surname Yu?”
Yu Huang pursed her lips.
From Si Cheng’s words, he seemed to know what her surname should be.
!!
Yu Huang smiled and asked Si Cheng, “If my surname isn’t Yu, what should my surname be?”
Si Cheng smiled mysteriously and said, “Little girl, it’s fine if you lie to other people, but you can’t fool me. Your eyes are simply very similar to your mother’s.” Si Cheng said with certainty, “You’re Yin Mingjue’s daughter, right?”
Yu Huang was speechless.
d.a.m.n!
This person really knew her father.
Yu Huang smiled and was about to deny it when she heard Si Cheng say, “Back then, after your mother gave birth to you, her life was in danger. Your father could only entrust you to me and bring your mother to the Sea G.o.d Clan’s Dragon G.o.d Palace to recuperate. At that time, you were like a kitten. You were very thin and refused to eat. You cried all day long. In order to coax you, I even caught a white Companion Beast for you. Later, with a Companion Beast sleeping beside you, you stopped crying.”
“Didn’t your parents tell you about these things?” Si Cheng was quite resentful. He didn’t expect that Yin Mingjue never told his child about him.
Upon hearing the details of the Companion Beast, Yu Huang believed Si Cheng’s words.
However, Yu Huang didn’t know Si Cheng well, nor did she know if he was a friend or foe of her father. She wasn’t stupid enough to take the initiative to reveal her ident.i.ty.
Yu Huang shook her head and told Si Cheng, “You’re mistaken. I’m not Prime Master Mingjue’s daughter. I’m just a junior who’s filled with admiration for him. As for eyes, there are so many people in the world, so it’s inevitable that some people have similar eyes.”
“Who are you trying to fool?!” Si Cheng tapped Yu Huang’s eyebrows and said, “You have the aura of that Companion Beast on you. You’re Yin Mingjue’s daughter.”
Yu Huang raised her eyebrows. This time, she was really surprised. “The aura of a Companion Beast?”
“Yes.” Si Cheng nodded and told Yu Huang, “That Companion Beast is very wild. In order to prevent it from hurting you, I fused a drop of its blood into your glabella.” Si Cheng’s right hand brushed past Yu Huang’s forehead gently, and Yu Huang sensed an invisible but irresistible force sucking away the thing between her eyebrows.
Soon, a drop of bright red Companion Beast blood emerged from the skin between Yu Huang’s eyebrows.
As Si Cheng stared at the drop of blood, he smiled mysteriously and said, “Look, I told you you were Yin Mingjue’s daughter.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
The evidence was conclusive, so Yu Huang could no longer deny it.
“Little Huang’er.” After knowing that Yu Huang was Yin Mingjue’s daughter, Si Cheng addressed her intimately as he said, “You really don’t know me? Didn’t your father mention me to you? That shouldn’t be the case.” Si Cheng was considered a prominent figure in the Cang Lang Continent.
He and Yin Mingjue were as close as brothers, so Yin Mingjue should have mentioned him to his daughter.
Besides, if he knew that Yu Huang was about to ascend to the Great World, Yin Mingjue should have mentioned his existence to Yu Huang all the more. That way, if Yu Huang happened to ascend to the Cang Lang Continent, she would have someone to rely on.
Yin Mingjue was quite unreliable.
To think that in the past twenty years, he had missed Yin Mingjue quite often.
Now, it seemed that his longing hadn’t been reciprocated.
Yu Huang asked Si Cheng, “Mr. Si Cheng, are you very familiar with my father?”
Seeing that Yu Huang really didn’t know about his existence, Si Cheng was extremely angry.
The director of the Cang Lang Continent’s s.p.a.ce Administration actually revealed an angry expression.
Si Cheng scolded angrily, “Nonsense! I’ve known him since the first day we entered school. We were roommates. When he pursued your mother, I was the one who helped him come up with ideas. Otherwise, with his blockhead brain, would he have been able to woo the demoness? After graduation, when the two of them got married, I was also the witness. Even the first sip of milk you drank was personally mixed by me! Besides, when his disciple, Ji Linyuan, was almost killed, I was the one who risked my life to save him.”
“I’ve done so much for Yin Mingjue, but that b.a.s.t.a.r.d never mentioned me to you?” Si Cheng found it unbelievable.
When Yu Huang heard Si Cheng’s complaints, she finally believed that he and her father were close buddies.
Yu Huang lowered her head and said in a low voice, “Mr. Si Cheng, it’s not that my father is ungrateful or cold-hearted. My father didn’t have the chance to tell me his story with you at all because he died 25 years ago.”
Si Cheng nodded and said, “Oh, he died. No wonder… what?” After Si Cheng realized what Yu Huang said, he was instantly stunned. “You said your father…” Si Cheng couldn’t finish his words.
He pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes.
After a long silence, Si Cheng asked in a gloomy tone, “How did he die?”
Yu Huang had mixed feelings. For a moment, she didn’t know where to start. In the end, Sheng Xiao told Si Cheng about Yin Mingjue’s death.
After Si Cheng found out the truth about Yin Mingjue’s death, he remained silent for a long time.
As expected of Yin Mingjue.
Si Cheng suddenly said, “Back then, countless large families in the Cang Lang Continent extended an olive branch to Mingjue. Even the Patriarch of the War G.o.d Clan, Zhan Jiuxiao, personally invited him to join the War G.o.d Clan. However, Yin Mingjue rejected all of them. At that time, I even mocked him for being stupid and not understanding the ways of the world, but he said…”
Si Cheng looked at Yu Huang and the others as he said with a sad expression, “Yin Mingjue said that he didn’t come to the Cang Lang Continent to further his studies and work hard to become a super expert to stay in a super Great World to enjoy wealth and glory. His dream is to let his hometown escape the status of a small world and let his hometown become a medium world, a large world, or even a super Great World! He said that since his hometown is still suffering, he doesn’t dare to enjoy prosperity.”
With that, Si Cheng’s tears welled up again.
He couldn’t lose his composure in front of these juniors again, so Si Cheng turned around and closed his eyes tightly while trying to hold back his tears.
His hometown was still suffering, so he didn’t dare to enjoy prosperity.
As a powerhouse who made a name for himself in a super Great World, Yin Mingjue decisively rejected the invitations of countless large factions and had his hometown on his mind at all times.
This was a very n.o.ble mindset.
Sheng Xiao and the others lowered their heads guiltily. They were far inferior to Prime Master Yin Mingjue.
Yu Huang was even sadder than Sheng Xiao and the others.
Although she was Yin Mingjue’s daughter, she didn’t know Yin Mingjue as well as Sheng Xiao did. Sheng Xiao had even seen Yin Mingjue and spoken to him in his childhood. However, Yu Huang could only try her best to piece together memories of her father from the words of others.
When she thought about how her father was such a loyal person who was so devoted to his hometown, Yu Huang felt proud of him.
What their father had done was also what they were doing.
Yu Huang vowed that she would fulfill her father’s dream for him!
At this moment, Si Cheng regained his composure.
He turned around and looked at the seven young juniors in front of him as he said, “The seven of you bear the burden of saving your hometown. This means that you guys are destined to suffer a lot in the Cang Lang Continent. The Cang Lang Continent is very big, so there are countless opportunities and challenges here, but there are also many prejudices and arrogance. I hope you can all become people like Brother Mingjue. Even after experiencing prosperity, you still can’t forget your original intentions.”
With that, Si Cheng turned on the supercomputer and said in a businesslike manner, “Hand over your mission a.s.sessment doc.u.ments.”
Yin Rong and the others hurriedly took out the a.s.sessment doc.u.ments they had prepared and handed them to Si Cheng.
Si Cheng picked up the first a.s.sessment doc.u.ment and shouted, “Estelle.”
Estelle stood up.
Si Cheng said, “Name, age, blood type, beast form…”
Estelle answered them one by one. In the end, he obtained an A-rank ident.i.ty card.
Si Cheng shouted again, “Donor.”
“Feng Yuncheng.”
“Meredith.”
“Yin Rong.”
…
In the end, the five of them all obtained A-rank ID cards.
Usually, those who could obtain an A-rank ident.i.ty card were mostly genius Beast Tamers from Great Worlds or other super Great Worlds. It was already very impressive for Yin Rong and the others to be able to obtain an A-rank ident.i.ty card.
