I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 289 - 287: The Result

After Li Xing and Chu Yu left, only then did Chu Yunyi leisurely emerge from the other side of the Moon Cherry curtain, with Housekeeper Lu by his side.

"Young Master, Miss Li really is—"

Chu Yunyi raised his hand to interrupt the housekeeper: "Instruct the guards to continue patrolling."

"Yes."

The housekeeper retreated, and Chu Yunyi gazed in the direction where Li Xing disappeared, feeling a sense of loss.

——————

Today is the day for the paternity testing, and there are many guests in the Chu Family here to witness the event. The housekeeper had already instructed the maids to set up several rows of seats in the grandest reception hall.

The testing pod from the medical institution stood in front of all the seats, brightly lit inside, equipped with Qianyuan Continent’s most advanced instruments and devices.

The side of the pod facing the seats was completely transparent, allowing all guests to clearly see the operation process and testing results, ensuring the authenticity and effectiveness of the paternity testing.

The case of the Chu Family’s missing second daughter shocked the entire continent back then, and even after eighteen years, the attention has not waned.

Over the years, the Chu Family had found potential candidates who might be Chu Yunyou, but today marks the first time publicly conducting paternity testing, indicating that at least one party is confident in the results.

The guests invited to witness either belong to the Chu Family Members or are elite nobles with significant connections, all extremely attentive to today’s testing, thus arriving early at the Chu Family to wait.

Yang Zhou watched the doctors and nurses preparing inside the testing pod, feeling a bit uneasy.

"Hey, do you think Li Xing is really Chu Yunyou? She was so young when she was abducted; logically, she wouldn’t remember who she is. Who told her?"

Chu Ying shook her head blankly: "I don’t know."

"When do you think she found out?"

"No idea."

"Today’s occasion is so important, even Chu Baili came, but why is your lousy brother nowhere to be seen?"

Chu Ying kept shaking her head like a rattle.

Yang Zhou wasn’t pleased: "Tsk. It’s your family’s business, yet you know nothing at all?"

Chu Ying sighed: "Don’t just talk about Li Xing; even Yunyi’s appointment as Second Commander of the army, I only found out recently... I feel like I’ve been excluded from this family."

Yang Zhou: ...

On the other side, Cui Tianxiao was also discussing Li Xing with his friends.

"Qingting, I still can’t believe Xing Er is Chu Yunyou."

Ye Qingting: "Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know once the testing is completed."

Qi Ming: "No wonder Sister Xing said last time that it’s time for the revelation; it seems she already knew her identity."

Ye Qingting nodded: "It seems so."

Knowing but concealing from them, the two felt unsettled inside.

Cui Tianxiao sighed: "I feel like ever since Xing Er returned from the Second Army, there’s a barrier between us. I really dislike this feeling. Whether she’s Chu Yunyou or not is unimportant; I just hope she can return to how she was."

Ye Qingting and Qi Ming both lowered their heads, their expressions melancholic, as they shared the same thought.

...

On this occasion, Li Xing couldn’t dress too casually. Ye Lan had prepared a delicate dress and matching accessories for her early on, but the traditional Qianyuan attire was a bit complex for Li Xing, who couldn’t wear it properly.

Just as Li Xing was worrying, the door to her room was gently knocked, and Wei Chen cautiously entered, speaking softly: "Miss, the lady asked me to assist you in changing clothes."

Li Xing sighed in relief: "Thank goodness I have you, or I couldn’t manage such a complicated dress. I’m counting on you, Wei Chen."

Wei Chen, like a startled rabbit, lowered his head deeply and stammered: "It’s what I should do."

Half an hour later, Li Xing, dressed elegantly, appeared in the reception hall accompanied by a gray-haired maid.

The moment the dainty, beautifully-browed young girl appeared, she garnered countless amazed gazes.

Perhaps uncomfortable with wearing such attire and being stared at by so many, Li Xing kept a tense expression, supported by the maid as she walked into the testing pod.

Ye Lan was already waiting inside and gently pulled her hand when she arrived, speaking softly. Judging by her lip movement, it seemed she was telling her not to be nervous.

Cui Tianxiao had never seen such a beautiful Li Xing and excitedly waved at her repeatedly, but Li Xing completely ignored him, sitting beside Ye Lan, her head down, not knowing what she was thinking.

Cui Tianxiao fussed for a long time but failed to catch Li Xing’s attention, feeling a wave of disappointment, slumping back into his chair. Ye Qingting sighed, patting his brother’s shoulder.

The doctor in charge explained the testing process in detail to Li Xing and Ye Lan, confirmed their intentions, and drew blood from both to be sent into the instrument.

To prevent any influence on the testing results from pre-placed objects in the machine, this testing device was custom-made. Except for its solid metal parts, the rest was transparent and visible, eliminating the possibility of fraud or cheating from the source.

During the wait for the results, none of the guests spoken, all eyes fixed on the running machine, as if their gazes could speed up its process.

Finally, a "beep" sounded, indicating the result was out. After the two doctors confirmed it was accurate, one turned the display screen towards the seats and zoomed in to the extreme.

Everyone could clearly see the testing outcome—consistent with genetic laws, paternity probability greater than 0.9999.

The whole room erupted, a definitive answer! Li Xing is indeed Ye Lan’s daughter, the child lost eighteen years ago!

While everyone was surprised and cheering at the testing result, one clear, cold voice overpowered all others.

"Retest—!"

Ye Chun was startled, looking at his pale-faced grandson, then at his granddaughter regained after all these years, softly advising: "Yunyi, I don’t see the necessity for that."

Ye Mubai echoed: "Yes Yunyi, the blood samples were sent into the instrument right before our eyes; there’s no possibility of error."

Chu Yunyi completely ignored them, stood up and entered the testing pod, extending his arm to a doctor and said: "Retest, this time compare my blood with hers!"

The medical institution responsible for testing is an authoritative leader in this field, with both equipment and personnel among the best on the Qianyuan Continent.

Under such circumstances, still demanding a retest inevitably seems like nitpicking. Though feeling some resistance, the doctor dared not defy under the Chu Family’s prestige and Chu Yunyi’s imposing aura, obediently taking out a new syringe to draw blood.

Just as the needle was about to touch Chu Yunyi’s skin, a deep, powerful voice echoed:

"Yunyi, come back—!"

A majestic spiritual power enveloped the entire reception hall, and the doctor was intimidated by the pressure, unable to move the needle forward even an inch despite trying.

Chu Baili stood up, his expression stern: "No need to test again; she is your sister."

No need to test, nor can it be tested again. A half-sibling relationship from the same mother and different fathers cannot be disclosed to outsiders.

Chu Yunyi looked at Chu Baili, whose gaze was profound, containing countless unspoken words, and shook his head slightly.

Chu Yunyi slowly lowered his arm, turned to Li Xing, and softly said: "Yun You, welcome home."

"Thank you, Brother."
