Super Gene Hunting Ground

Long Aotian nodded,

”Father, you make a lot of sense.”

”I am now worried about another matter.”

”What matter?”

”Five years ago, Long Jing went to Earth, and when she returned, she was pregnant and gave birth to a son. I now have a bad feeling that this child might be Yang Xiao’s.”

”Ah?”

Long Aotian opened his mouth wide, looking at his father in disbelief.

The issue of Long Jing’s child has always been a secret. Even now, the child is four years old, but very few people know about it. After all, Long Jing was unmarried when she became pregnant, and to this day, even the identity of her husband remains unknown. This is a matter that damages the reputation of the Imperial Dynasty of Great Dragon Empire.

The Emperor of Great Dragon, out of love for his daughter, tolerated Long Jing having the child but has always had a grudge about it and ordered the news to be sealed.

Long Aotian learned about this matter two years ago, when the child was already two years old.

Long Aotian was not concerned about Long Jing’s child, considering it a stain on Long Jing’s record, and never imagined that the child could be Yang Xiao and Long Jing’s.

After all, in Long Aotian’s mind, his noble sister and the Earthling Yang Xiao are of such different statuses that they cannot be together.

But recent signs indicate that Long Jing’s relationship with Yang Xiao is indeed unusual.

This is also the reason why the Emperor of Great Dragon suddenly became suspicious.

”Ao Tian, send someone to Earth to investigate what happened to Long Jing when she was on Earth, to see if she was indeed with Yang Xiao.”

”Father, Long Jing went to Xuanming District where the Fourth Prince is. The Fourth Prince should know about this matter.”

”I’ve already asked the Fourth Prince. He doesn’t know anything about it either; like you, he only found out about it after returning to Witch Star.”

”Alright, I will immediately send someone to Earth to investigate the matter. If it really turns out that Yang Xiao and Long Jing had the child, what does Father plan to do?”

The Emperor of Great Dragon paused silently, then suddenly laughed:

”This matter, perhaps even Yang Xiao himself doesn’t know. If it truly is Yang Xiao’s child, then it can be the card to use against Yang Xiao. He is so concerned about his fellow clansmen, can he not care about his own son?”

”Father, why not simply accept him as your son-in-law, so Yang Xiao can become our ally.”

”Haha, does he even deserve to be my son-in-law? If he became my son-in-law, how could we avenge War God and Long Kui? What face would we have in front of the Royal Family and citizens of the Great Dragon Empire?

If the child truly is Yang Xiao and Long Jing’s, it only means we gain another card against Yang Xiao.”

Long Aotian was stunned, looking at his father. Wasn’t his father just reflecting on the past conflicts with Yang Xiao and thinking he shouldn’t have hunted him down? Why did Father suddenly become so dismissive of Yang Xiao?

As a son, Long Aotian instantly understood that his father’s inner pride and arrogance are always invincible; he would not truly bow to Yang Xiao.

Occasionally, influenced by emotions, the Emperor of Great Dragon might have moments of reflection and regret, but ultimately he is a peerless ruler, and his inner pride and arrogance will not be defeated by anyone.

Pride and prejudice, racial superiority, always occupy the Emperor of Great Dragon’s heart. He will never really accept Yang Xiao, this Earthling pauper.

”But, will Long Jing agree?”

”Humph, I’ve been tolerant enough with Long Jing. If it weren’t for her willful behavior back then, getting pregnant and having a child, our alliance with Youming Empire wouldn’t have broken. We would have already annexed the Flying Leopard Empire, unified Witch Star, and wouldn’t be in today’s predicament.”

Long Aotian became silent and said:

”Yes, Father, I will arrange for people to investigate this on Earth.”

...

In the second round of the Go exchange tournament, Yang Xiao miraculously drew Bai Zetian.

When the site staff announced this news, the crowd immediately boiled over.

”Wow, Yang Xiao battled Long Hang, the vice president of the Great Dragon Empire Chess Institute, yesterday, and today he’s up against the Eldest Prince of Youming Empire, Bai Zetian. His luck is amazing!”

”If you’re envious of his good luck, you can swap with Yang Xiao.”

”I heard Bai Zetian’s chess skills are excellent, and he’s a leader among the younger generation of Witch Star Continent.”

”Bai Zetian’s chess skills are probably a bit better than Long Hang’s. Bai Zetian was the third-place winner in last year’s Go exchange tournament, and even the top Grandmaster praised his talent after playing against him.”

”I wonder who will win between Yang Xiao and Bai Zetian?”

...

Yang Xiao and Bai Zetian sat opposite each other at the chessboard; it was their first meeting.

”Hello, Prince!”

Yang Xiao extended his hand.

Bai Zetian, the Eldest Prince of Youming Empire, counted as a person tied to the alliance, different from yesterday’s Long Hang.

Bai Zetian smiled softly and reached out to lightly shake hands with Yang Xiao,

”Yang Leader, your reputation shakes the Witch Star Continent. I’ve admired you for a long time, and today I finally meet you in person. A pleasure, truly!”

Bai Zetian is always portrayed to outsiders as having an elegant demeanor, polite, a well-cultured and talented young man.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and as Long Aotian shouted ”Start” from afar, they quieted down to prepare for the game.

”Yang Leader, since we’ve just met and you come from Purple Origin Star, as the guest from afar, you play with the black pieces first.”

Yang Xiao was somewhat surprised, originally thinking he would need to debate with Bai Zetian over who goes first. He didn’t expect Bai Zetian to willingly let him start; this caught him off guard.

Taking the first move means gaining an advantage, and many are reluctant to concede it.

Yang Xiao’s impression of Bai Zetian suddenly improved.

”Since the Prince offers, I will not stand on ceremony.”

Yang Xiao’s Divine Sense moved slightly, a black piece flew out from the Chess Bowl and landed on the chessboard.

Bai Zetian smiled softly, and a white piece landed on the chessboard as well.

The game instantly unfolded.

After playing a dozen moves, Yang Xiao found that Bai Zetian’s chess skills were indeed a bit better than yesterday’s Long Hang.

Although having a good impression of Bai Zetian, Yang Xiao didn’t think of showing any mercy in the slightest; each move was extremely sharp, enclosing and intercepting aggressively.

Yang Xiao’s aim is to meet the so-called top Go Grandmaster; if that person is from Earth, he should recognize them.

However, up to this point, the Great Dragon Empire Chess Institute’s top Go Grandmaster hasn’t appeared, as if this Go exchange tournament had nothing to do with them.

Small beads of sweat began to form on Bai Zetian’s forehead.

Yang Xiao’s chess skills startled him greatly.

Having watched Yang Xiao play against Long Hang yesterday, Yang Xiao seemed to have many flaws and often played incorrectly, but today, when playing with him, it was completely different!

Every move Yang Xiao made was spot on, wrapping Bai Zetian’s white pieces tightly; whenever given a chance, he would directly encircle them, leaving no escape, extremely sharp.

Bai Zetian became increasingly astonished as the game progressed, with their spiritual strength clashing fiercely.

Sweat from Bai Zetian’s forehead began to trickle down his cheeks.
