Chapter 107: Treating the Legs, Ginseng of Life

“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 . ”
