Chapter 136: Chapter 156: From Today Onward, There Will Be No Han Family in the Cultivation World! _1

"The quality of this jade is excellent, and the carving work is also exquisite. This is not something an ordinary person could create."

"The character is in ancient seal script, representing the word ’Qi’. Moreover, this character has a slight difference from the ancient seal script ’Qi’ characters that we are familiar with - this stroke is slanted instead of horizontal. Only in the Western Wei Dynasty in 708 AD was this writing style used. After that, this horizontal stroke became horizontal."

"Taking these factors into consideration, this piece of jade should be an ancient jade, possibly carved during the Western Wei Dynasty. This character was naturally written this way, or it could have been made by the survivors of the Western Wei Dynasty, completing it in the years after Western Wei and following their writing style."

"The quality of this ancient jade is very high, and the carved characters are also rare. If we trace its origins, we might be able to uncover some history about this jade since such jade is scarce."

After leaving the text expert’s residence, Lin Chen and Chu Jiaxue returned to their car. Chu Jiaxue asked, "What do we do now? Although the expert says this jade is unique, no one can guarantee that it has a historical record, let alone a history from hundreds, or even thousands of years ago. It’s challenging to trace back to twenty years ago."

Lin Chen nodded, "Indeed, I will ask someone for help first."

Chu Jiaxue suggested, "Why not put it online and find a reason to make it popular? Maybe someone related will recognize it?"

Lin Chen laughed and shook his head, "Not appropriate. The quality and value of this jade suggest that my parents were not ordinary people. The fact that I was abandoned by them as a child may be related to some secret. If I put it online and someone with ulterior motives sees it, I might not only find my parents, but also invite great trouble."

"Moreover, in finding out about my birth, I want to take the initiative, not be passive, so I won’t do this on a large scale."

Chu Jiaxue understood Lin Chen’s meaning, "You want to quietly find out the truth and then decide whether to get close to or even acknowledge your parents, instead of being discovered and falling into a dilemma where you can’t choose, right?"

"Yes, that’s what I mean."

Lin Chen laughed, "Although my master has been tormenting me since I was young, he has taught me a lot of useful skills. Now I can live well on my own, and my search for my origins is mainly to understand the truth rather than change the status quo."

Chu Jiaxue nodded and then, with a somewhat expectant look in her eyes, said, "If you have any news about your search, can you share it with me?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Do you care about this matter very much?"

Chu Jiaxue pursed her lips, "You know about my situation. Although you have been an orphan since childhood, your parents may still be alive. I hope you can have a good outcome in the end. If you can reunite with your parents, I will be happy for you."

Lin Chen readily agreed, "Alright, I promise you. I’ll share any news with you."

Back at home, Lin Chen took a photo of the jade and sent it to Bat.

Lin Chen: "Bat, help me find out any information related to this jade pendant."

Bat: "This jade pendant is quite unique. Is this pattern a character?"

Lin Chen: "Qi, ancient seal script from the Western Wei Dynasty. The writing style is different from other dynasties."

Bat: "Okay, I’ll let you know when I have news."

Lin Chen: "Great!"

Bat is a computer genius and a super hacker. He can access almost all information available online. Plus, thanks to his position, he has access to confidential information that ordinary people can’t see.

Lin Chen had initially planned to ask his master, Xue Kuangren, for help, but he had turned off his phone after running away last time, and Lin Chen didn’t know where he had gone now.

With no other avenues for information, Lin Chen could only wait.

While having dinner, Lin Chen was playing games when his phone suddenly rang.

It was Han Xinran.

Lin Chen answered the call and smiled, "Xinran..."

With a tearful voice, Han Xinran said on the phone, "Brother Chen, my Second Aunt is dying. Can you save her?"

Lin Chen was shocked, Han Wei?

Wasn’t Han Wei the most talented cultivator in the Han family? How could she suddenly be dying?

Lin Chen immediately stood up, "What happened? Don’t cry, just tell me."

Han Xinran spoke quickly, "The Lei family head, Patriarch Lei, brought some people to our door, saying that he wanted to negotiate with the Han family about resolving the issue of me beating his son. But who knew that he also brought along an expert named Wu Bugui, who claimed to be from the Qinling Wu family? Second Aunt fought with Wu Bugui and suffered severe injuries. She’s dying now. Even my great-grandparents have taken action, but they can’t win..."

Before Han Xinran could finish her sentence, a thunderous, arrogant voice suddenly sounded from the other side, "Han Shizhu, starting today, there will be no Han family in the Cultivation World!"

Lin Chen’s expression changed. This wasn’t about the Lei family solving the problem of their son being beaten; this was a premeditated ambush meant to wipe out the Han family!

"Xinran, send me your location, and I’ll be there right away!"

As Lin Chen grabbed his car keys and started running out, he shouted, "I’ll be there in twenty minutes. Tell them that if they dare to kill anyone, I’ll annihilate the entire Lei family."
