Chapter 779: Provoking the authorities of Medical City
Han Yunxi hadn't researched anything. She simply knew common medical knowledge from modern times! Looking at Gu Qishao's lonely back, she had a sudden desire to really, truly protect him. How she hoped she had the power to prove he was related to Gu Yuntian--but she couldn't do it.
The most reliable form of paternity tests was using DNA, which was 99.9% accurate. But it was impossible to use such methods in Cloud Realm Continent. Even if she could manage the test, nobody here would understand the results, much less believe them. Another less reliable method was using bloodtypes, which had a 50% accuracy rate. For example, Type-O blood parents could never produce Type A, B, or AB children. But that was no good here too, because no one discovered the existence of blood types until blood transfusions failed. It was only in 1901 that Austrian doctors presented the concept of ABO bloodtypes.
Knowledge like this wouldn't be understood by everyone without modern day medical theory as a foundation. Research results and equipment were needed, neither of which Han Yunxi could use. As the saying went, "even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice," or "you can't get anywhere the right tools."
Thus, Han Yunxi couldn't help Gu Qishao with his goal.
The only thing she could do was suppress Gu Yuntian's arrogance and steal his thunder. Perhaps this would console Gu Qishao somewhat. At least, he wouldn't look so awkward and lonely standing onstage.
"Academy Head Gu, I don't know what your exact definition of 'combined blood' entails?" Han Yunxi asked.
"What do you mean, 'exact definition?'" Gu Yuntian replied.
"When you talk about combined blood, do you mean two drops of blood dissipating separately in the water and then combining as one, or two drops of blood directly combining as one in the water without dissolving first?" Han Yunxi asked.
Gu Yuntian thought it over before asking, "Is there any difference between the two?"
Han Yunxi grinned. She was puzzled as to how Gu Yuntian could be so formidable. As it turned out, he only paid attention to the surface results. Most likely he discovered that all blood could mix through a coincidence. He had no idea of the basic properties behind the theory!
"What are you grinning about?" Gu Yuntian huffed. He could be considered a man with patience, or at least one who could feign it in front of a crowd. But this girl only made him feel uneasy. He had strict control over the medical world and had never seen such a difficult junior! I must be worrying overmuch.
"I'm smiling because Academy Head Gu only scratched the surface without grasping the fundamentals!" Han Yunxi laughed. "Can anyone give me a bowl of clear water?"
"Me!" Tang Li was quite proactive. He poured out the old bowl of water and poured some from his own canteen before handing the bowl to Han Yunxi.
"Many thanks. May I borrow your finger again?" Han Yunxi asked next.
"It'll be my honor!" Tang Li's happiness was written all over his face. It had been ages since he mingled with his big brother and sister-in-law. He dearly missed those days!
By his side, Ning Jing's expression turned black. This was the first time she'd seen Tang Li smile so cheerfully at other young women since they'd gotten married. She pulled his hand back and said to Han Yunxi coldly, "Don't you have blood yourself?"
"I'm afraid of pain, that's why," Han Yunxi grinned. "He's a man, so it's fine if he bleeds a few extra drops."
"All of his blood belongs to me. I'm afraid of pain too, so he's not giving any!" Ning Jing tossed back these words before dragging Tang Li back to their seats.
