Jiang Wantang was actually not his biological sister?

The news left Jiang Che completely stunned...

This was too outrageous!

If he had not received Jiang Wantang's plotline from Phoenix Emperor Supreme through the system, Jiang Che might never have learned her true identity.

Phoenix Emperor Supreme contained a rather detailed account of Jiang Wantang's background.

Twenty-five years ago, Jiang Chenzhou and Qin Mengxuan had just gotten married and were still deeply in love.

The young Qin Mengxuan had not wanted to get pregnant and have children too early, but she wanted to experience being a mother. So, she had wanted to adopt an orphan with Jiang Chenzhou, and he had readily agreed.

The next day, heavy snow filled the sky. The two had just stepped out, intending to visit the Orphanage and choose a little girl to adopt, when they found an abandoned infant left in the wind and snow by their door.

The infant was only three months old, with a Glazed Ancient Jade hanging around her neck.

That era was unlike the present; surveillance cameras were not common.

Jiang Chenzhou and Qin Mengxuan searched for the baby girl's family but found nothing, so they decided to adopt her.

Qin Mengxuan had only just entertained the thought of adopting a child, yet the very next day, she found this baby girl at her doorstep. For a time, she believed it was heaven's arrangement.

The baby girl was named Jiang Wantang and slowly grew up in the Jiang Family.

The two had always claimed to the outside world that Jiang Wantang was their biological daughter.

Aside from Jiang Chenzhou and Qin Mengxuan, only Jiang Jianguo knew about this.

Since she was Qin Mengxuan's first child, Qin Mengxuan loved Jiang Wantang no less than Jiang Che. She truly treated them equally.

As for Jiang Wantang's true identity, the answer was hidden only within that jade pendant.

"Little brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Che staring blankly at her, Jiang Wantang's eyelashes furrowed slightly as she hesitantly spoke.

"Hehe..."

"Nothing. I just thought of something else..."

Jiang Che shook his head and gave a vague answer, quickly accepting the truth.

After all these years, whether Jiang Wantang was Mom's biological daughter was no longer important. She would always be his Sister.

The Sister who had always loved and protected him.

The affection they had shared for twenty years was real. Jiang Che naturally remembered every little moment of growing up with his Sister.

Although his Sister had gone up the mountain to study martial arts seven years ago and rarely returned home, Fengming Mountain was not cut off from the world.

Jiang Che and Jiang Wantang had always kept in touch by phone, so their bond remained deep. He had long known that she had six junior Sisters and one junior brother.

Before the system awakened, Jiang Che had never thought much of it.

But now that he thought back carefully, it all felt like one huge cliché...

"Brat, didn't you say you didn't like martial arts?"

"How did you suddenly gain Bright Force cultivation?"

"Tell me honestly, did you secretly cultivate some wicked art that harvested yin to nourish yang?"

Qin Mengxuan narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression stern as she scrutinized her precious son.

She naturally knew everything about Jiang Che. She knew he had little Martial Arts Talent and could practically be called useless, not to mention that he had never been interested in martial arts.

Yet after only two months apart, he had suddenly attained Peak Bright Force. No matter how she looked at it, something seemed strange.

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang Chenzhou and Jiang Jianguo also turned their gazes toward Jiang Che, their eyes filled with curiosity and scrutiny.

"Mom, do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

Jiang Che was speechless at Mom's wild imagination and could not be bothered to argue over what she had called him.

All sorts of webnovel clichés flashed through his mind, and Jiang Che began making things up without hesitation.

"Here's what happened..."

"Wasn't I traveling all over the country before?"

"Once, I went to Wudang Mountain and met an old immortal there..."

"Grandson, are you saying that you met a miraculous old Taoist Priest on Wudang Mountain? He said you were fated, helped raise your cultivation with pills, and even taught you two cultivation techniques?"

After listening to Jiang Che's explanation, Jiang Jianguo fell into thought and was already mostly convinced.

Having occupied a high position for many years, Jiang Jianguo possessed extraordinary knowledge and naturally knew things ordinary people would never learn.

Some reclusive experts truly did enjoy hiding away in deep mountains and ancient forests to cultivate, claiming to avoid worldly disturbances.

After all, wasn't Jiang Wantang a perfect example?

"So that's how it was..."

"Brat, your luck is really something else!"

Qin Mengxuan's brows gradually relaxed as she clicked her tongue in amazement.

Qin Mengxuan had always spoiled Jiang Che.

Now that she knew Jiang Che had not cultivated some wicked art that rapidly increased one's cultivation, she stopped dwelling on it.

"That's right. That's exactly what happened."

"And this time, I brought gifts for all of you."

As Jiang Che spoke, he directly handed the prepared pills to everyone and roughly explained their effects.

"Xiao Che, are you saying that after taking these two pills, I can live twenty more years?"

Jiang Jianguo examined the two golden, fragrant Longevity Pills in his hand, his tone full of suspicion.

Although he knew his eldest grandson had encountered a fortuitous opportunity and met a reclusive expert, he still doubted the effects of the Longevity Pills.

One pill could extend a person's lifespan by ten years?

Even with his knowledge, he had never heard of such Longevity Pills before.

"Of course it's true. Grandpa, why not try them and see?"

"Could it be that Grandpa is afraid his grandson might harm him?"

Jiang Che nodded and teased him with a smile.

"You brat!"

Jiang Jianguo laughed and scolded him, then swallowed both pills without hesitation and began chewing.

He naturally knew Jiang Che was joking with him.

After living his entire life, if he could not even trust his own grandson, how tragic would that be?

The moment the pills entered his mouth, Jiang Jianguo began changing almost instantly.

The wrinkles on his face visibly vanished, his head of white hair turned black again, and his entire vigor rose by more than a dozen levels.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Jianguo felt incomparably comfortable, utterly refreshed!

He felt as though he had instantly returned to his peak condition.

Just as his eldest grandson had said, he had become twenty years younger!

"This..."

Jiang Chenzhou stared blankly at his Old Man. Though he had already expected something, Jiang Jianguo's dramatic change still startled him.

"Miraculous! Truly miraculous!"

"So, precious son, can this Youth Preserving Pill really keep your mother forever young and beautify her complexion?"

Qin Mengxuan's eyes shone brightly. Her breathing had become somewhat hurried, and even her hands trembled slightly.

After witnessing her father-in-law's transformation with her own eyes, she no longer had the slightest doubt about Jiang Che's claims.
