Chapter 1549: 1549
"Birthmark? On my bottom?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback .
After transcending over to this world, he had washed his body innumerable times, and he had spent some time examining and learning his body before . Indeed, there was a scarlet birthmark on his bottom, but this should have been something that only he would know of . How would this middle-aged man before him know about it?
Zhang Xuan eyed the middle-aged man before him suspiciously .
Could he possess some ability similar to the Library of Heaven's Path that would allow him to look at his opponent's body?
But having a birthmark was not a flaw, so it would be impossible for the Library of Heaven's Path to detect it! Moreover, he possessed the Discarnate Constitution of Divination, so if by any chance any seers tried to divine his body, they would not be able to find anything at all!
Thinking again, it was not that rare for a person to have a birthmark on the bottom either, right?
"You…" Zhang Xuan could not help but look at Sword Saint Xing doubtfully, uncomprehending of the intention behind his question .
Seeing the implicit admittance from Zhang Xuan, Sword Saint Xing's heartbeat quickened, and with irrepressible agitation, he continued asking, "Is your birthday on the tenth day of the ninth month, Teacher Appreciation Day?"
"Birthday?" Zhang Xuan shook his head in response . "I am an orphan, so I'm afraid I don't really know when my birthday is . "
His previous self had been wandering in the world as far as he could remember . Nowhere in his recollections had his father, mother, or any clues to his birthday appeared . As such, the only thing that Zhang Xuan knew was that he was twenty-something this year . Anything other than that was really beyond his knowledge .
"I'll just be perfectly honest with you…" Noticing the confusion on the young man's face deepening, Sword Saint Xing decided not to beat around the bush anymore and got straight to the point . "If I'm not mistaken, you are very likely to be my long-lost son!"
"Your son?" Zhang Xuan was stunned for a moment before a miniature explosion happened in his head . "By your son… are you referring to the young prodigy?"
Sword Saint Xing was not only the head of the Zhang Clan but also the father of the young prodigy . As far as he knew, Sword Saint Xing seemed to have only a single son, so the other party's words would mean that… he was the young prodigy .
Zhang Xuan's mind was immediately plunged into chaos .
For the past few months, he had been cursing the young prodigy for being engaged to Luo Ruoxin and yet never being around for her, and if he could, he would have already pummeled him into the ground several times by now . Never had he thought that… the young prodigy would actually be him!
"No, that's not right . I've checked for the presence of the Zhang Clan bloodline in me as well, but it has been shown that there's no relationship between me and the Zhang Clan!" Zhang Xuan swiftly raised his rebuttal .
He had once wondered if he was from the Zhang Clan as well, and for that, he had even 'borrowed' Zhang Jiuxiao's blood essence to conduct a blood test . The result from that test showed that there was absolutely no relationship between him and the Zhang Clan at all!
Taking a step back, even if that blood test was inaccurate, he did enter the Zhang Clan's Blood Reservoir at one point in time, but he did not feel the slightest resonance with it at all . All of the clues went to show that there was no relationship between him and the Zhang Clan . So, how could Sword Saint Xing possible be his father?
"The matter concerning your Zhang Clan bloodline has serious implications, so I'll explain it to you when we are in a more private setting . However, if you still harbor any doubts regarding the matter, you can verify your blood with my wife . Even if you have lost your Zhang Clan bloodline, your mother's blood should still flow through your veins!" Sword Saint Xing said as he gestured for Sword Saint Meng to come over .
Sword Saint Meng could tell that the two men had been communicating telepathically with one another, so she swiftly flew over with an agitated look on her face .
Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment before asking, "How do we conduct the test?"
Given Sword Saint Xing's strength and standing, there was no need for him to cook up such a lie . Furthermore, to point out that there was a scarlet birthmark on his bottom, while that might not be conclusive evidence, it might be good to check it . Whether it was real or not, at least there would be some closure for him and the Xingmeng Sword Saints .
Otherwise, this matter would weigh on their minds .
If, by chance, he really happened to be the missing young prodigy, there would no longer be anyone to stop him from marrying Luo Ruoxin . Everything would fall into place, and it would be a happy ending .
Of course, it would be a little awkward for him to suddenly find himself with two parents, but perhaps because he had been an orphan in his previous life as well, he was not too put off by the notion of it . It would not be too difficult for him to accept the matter with time .
Even if that was not the case, it would not make any difference to his plans anyway . After the other party apologized to him, he would have nothing to do with the Zhang Clan anymore . The current him already wielded sufficient power and influence to stand against the Luo Clan and the Zhang Clan .
If they were not willing to budge, he would just have to force them . This was one matter that he simply was not willing to relent on .
