Chapter 776: Does mixing blood to prove relations work?

Gu Yuntian didn’t deny that Gu Qishao was Gu Qi Sha, nor that he was the same Little Qi expelled by the medical academy all those years ago.

He only looked at him in disbelief and cried, “Little Qi, I never expected you to seek refuge with the Poison Sect!”

His words were a mix of surprise, shock, and wrath. Compared to the past, Gu Yuntian had gotten much better at acting. But Gu Qishao wasn’t the easily fooled Little Qi, either. He chuckled and replied with something that left the entire crowd in an uproar.

He said, “Father, I learned all my poison arts from you. Why are you tossing the blame to the Poison Sect? You’re much more formidable than them.”

There was too much information squeezed into that single statement for everyone to process at once.

Father!

Father?

Gu Qishao called Gu Yuntian, “father?”

Heavens, did we hear wrong? Everyone looked lost as they exchanged glances with their neighbors, hoping that someone could pick out the mistake. Even the department heads and elders closest with Gu Qishao in the past showed expressions of surprise.

“Gu Beiyue...he… What did he just say?” Han Yunxi muttered. If this was Gu Qishao’s big surprise, it really was a shock! She would never have guessed in this lifetime!

“I never would’ve thought..” Gu Beiyue’s calm gaze showed traces of surprise. He had long guessed that Gu Qishao was Gu Qi Sha, Head Elder Ling’s foster son. He also knew that Gu Qishao ate medicine in his youth, which was already something fishy. This fellow must know many of Medical City’s secrets. In fact, he might have learned his poison skills from the Poison Sect’s forbidden grounds.

But Gu Beiyue never expected these results. Gu Qishao was actually Gu Yuntian’s son!

Isn’t this joke a little too much?

No one was calmer than Gu Qishao and Gu Yuntian in this moment. The former had his lips quirked up into a mesmerizing smile like a spectator watching a show. Whatever others said seemed to have nothing to do with him. The latter had long prepared himself for Little Qi’s eventual return for revenge, so he didn’t panic.

“Little Qi, you were clearly brought back by Ling Guyi as his foster son. Back then, this old man was moved by compassion to agree to have him leave you at the medical academy. I never expected you to be so ungrateful and repay my kindness with enmity. You stole medicinal ingredients in the past, and then sought refuge with the Poison Sect. Now you’ve come to humiliate this old man and the medical academy’s good name. What kind of intentions are you harboring?”

An angry Gu Yuntian wanted to charge to Gu Qishao’s side, but the vines kept him trapped. He viciously ripped aside a few blocking his way, allowing the thorns to pierce his skin. “Little Qi, you have to take responsibility for the words you’ve said today and clear things up. Otherwise, don’t even think of leaving Medical City.”

“Father.” Gu Qishao repeated. It was obvious he was doing it on purpose.

Father had watched him grow up. During his hidden childhood at the Poison Sect’s forbidden grounds, he had no mother and no friends. It was rare to even see another human being except for his daddy. But after being tricked into the medical academy to be Academy Head Ling’s foster son, he couldn’t bring himself to call that man “father” no matter how Academy Head Ling tried. Perhaps even his father didn’t know that this was the sole pining he held in his heart at that time. It was his final and only hope. Academy Head Ling was always lying to him, saying how he could see his daddy if only he was obedient and drank his medicine.
