Luo Qianxue? Bai Xue?

"What's wrong?"

Noticing the unusual expression on Shen Qinghan's face, Yuan Dongzhi asked her a question.

"Master..."

Because she had been inexplicably recognized as his master, Shen Qinghan felt very uncomfortable calling him "master," and it sounded very unnatural. After a moment, she asked, "Um... what's your name, senior sister?"

"Luo Qianxue."

Yuan Dongzhi answered calmly.

Fearing that Shen Qinghan might not know which three characters it was, Yuan Dongzhi thoughtfully typed "Luo Qianxue" into WeChat and sent it to her.

It's not Bai Xue.

But the name contains the character for "snow"...

Shen Qinghan felt that her senior sister was very likely Bai Xue.

Yuan Dongzhi asked, "The way you're looking at the senior in the photo, did you know her before?"

"When I was in second grade, I had a good friend in my class named Bai Xue, who looked just like my older sister."

After finishing her sentence, Shen Qinghan added, "My good friend transferred here less than half a semester ago, and then suddenly transferred again and left. I haven't seen her since."

Yuan Dongzhi raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"

Shen Qinghan hesitated for a moment before voicing her guess. "Master, it's been exactly ten years since I was in second grade. Do you think... my senior sister might be my best friend?"

"Impossible."

Yuan Dongzhi denied it without even thinking.

She did not explain why.

Shen Qinghan was gentle by nature and didn't dare to ask any more questions. She just silently glanced at the photo again.

It was only then that she realized something was wrong with the background of the photo.

The plants growing on the ground were all strangely shaped.

There is a type of grass with black leaves and stems.

There are trees whose trunks are covered with blood vessels.

There are also strange, alluring flowers with mouths.

It looks very different from what I'm used to seeing plants; it looks fake, like a photo that's been edited.

At this moment, Yuan Dongzhi said:

"Qinghan, your Gene Fusion compatibility is higher than I understand. Let me give you a full body check-up to see if there's anything special about your body that makes you have such a high compatibility."

After saying that, Yuan Dongzhi got up and sat down in front of Shen Qinghan, put her hand inside her clothes and pressed it on her lower abdomen.

He then channeled a wisp of his Mental Power into her body and began to carefully examine her physique.

About ten minutes later.

Yuan Dongzhi frowned and withdrew her hand.

Shen Qinghan's body is perfectly normal, and she is no different from ordinary people.

But that's very strange.

How could such an ordinary body achieve Gene Fusion compatibility rate as high as 21%?

Yuan Dongzhi was completely baffled.

Seeing her frown, Shen Qinghan thought there was something wrong with her health and asked in a little panic, "Master, is there something wrong with my health?"

"You have no health problems whatsoever, you're no different from an ordinary person, and all parts of your body are perfectly normal."

After finishing his sentence, Yuan Dongzhi continued, puzzled, "But it's precisely because it's too normal that it seems abnormal. Logically speaking, a body with Gene Fusion compatibility rate as high as 21% shouldn't be this ordinary."

Shen Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

When she saw Yuan Dongzhi suddenly frown, the first thought that popped into her mind was that she might have some incurable disease.

It's all because I watched too many melodramatic idol dramas in the past; I always think about those melodramatic plots.

"It's past 12 o'clock, let's go, I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch."

"My childhood sweetheart is waiting for me outside. Can I bring him along?"

"Certainly."

Soon, the two got up and left the office.

The moment Yuan Dongzhi stepped out the door, a single thought restored the malfunctioning electronic devices in the office to normal operation.

When she brought Shen Qinghan in earlier, she used her Mental Power to disable all the electronic devices in the office to prevent their conversation from being leaked.

After we got outside...

Shen Qinghan waved to Lin Zichen and said, "Xiao Chen, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch!"

"They're here!"

Lin Zichen responded and got up to walk over.

On the way to the canteen.

Yuan Dongzhi walked in front.

Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan followed behind.

Yuan Dongzhi was wearing high heels, which made a crisp sound when they landed, but it didn't sound noisy at all; instead, it sounded rather pleasant.

What's even more beautiful is her pair of plump, snow-white long legs, and her full, pert buttocks hidden under the silk fabric, which swayed alluringly all the way, making her particularly seductive.

Lin Zichen, who was walking behind, was trying his best to restrain himself, but he still couldn't help but glance at it several times.

It can only be said that although humans are far more rational than other creatures, in many situations, rationality is still overtaken by desire.

Before long, the three of them arrived at the canteen.

After finding a seat and sitting down...

Yuan Dongzhi called the head chef over directly and asked Shen Qinghan, "Qinghan, just tell this chef what you'd like to eat."

"I'm fine with anything."

Shen Qinghan was still a bit reserved and didn't dare to make any requests to anyone.

Noticing that Shen Qinghan was a bit introverted, Yuan Dongzhi looked at Lin Zichen sitting next to her and said, "You're Qinghan's childhood sweetheart, you should know her well, why don't you order some of her favorite dishes?"

"Good."

Lin Zichen responded to Yuan Dongzhi, then said to the head chef in front of him, "I'd like a serving of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, braised chicken with soy sauce, braised shrimp with soy sauce, hand-torn cabbage, and carrot and corn soup."

Four dishes and a soup are enough for three people.

The three of them then sat together, eating and chatting.

During this time, Lin Zichen was stunned to learn that Shen Qinghan had recognized Yuan Dongzhi as her master.

How did I end up with a master out of nowhere?

But he soon figured it out.

It's estimated that Shen Qinghan's Gene Fusion compatibility is too exaggerated, and she is bound to achieve great things in the future. Yuan Dongzhi is trying to curry favor with her in advance.

When Yuan Dongzhi learned that Lin Zichen was the candidate with a Gene Fusion compatibility rate of 15%, she was completely stunned.

These childhood sweethearts actually won the top two spots in the Martial Arts College Entrance Exam in Nanjiang Province?

Isn't this a bit too much of a coincidence?

Yuan Dongzhi keenly sensed that something was amiss.

About an hour later, all three of them had eaten and drunk their fill.

Yuan Dongzhi arranged for someone to take Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan home.

As soon as the two left, she instructed her confidant to investigate their family backgrounds and relationships.

The focus should be on investigating Shen Qinghan to see who she is and how she could give birth to a daughter with such a good constitution.

The confidant was extremely efficient; in less than an hour, he had found all the family information about Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan and sent it to Yuan Dongzhi for review.

After reading the message, Yuan Dongzhi was even more puzzled.

Both of their parents were ordinary people, neither Gene Fusionist nor Mechanical Cyborg.

So the question is, how did such ordinary parents raise such gifted children?

Is this a gene mutation?

Yuan Dongzhi couldn't understand it at all.

Then, she took out her phone and called her father at home.

Her father was a man of wide experience and knowledge, and she thought she would tell him about it to see if she could get the answer she wanted from him.

The call was quickly connected, and a deep, middle-aged male voice came through.

"What's up, Toshiba?"

"Dad, I've taken on a new apprentice with exceptional talent today, Gene Fusion compatibility is a whopping 21%!"

"What did you say?! 21% Gene Fusion fit? How is that possible! Tell me the details now!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was extremely shocked.

Yuan Dongzhi organized her thoughts and explained the situation to her father, emphasizing that Shen Qinghan's parents were ordinary people.

However, even her well-informed father had never encountered such an unreasonable situation before and could not give her a definite answer.

They only said it might be a gene mutation.

Then, in an extremely serious tone, he instructed:

"Toshiba, you must nurture this newly acquired genius apprentice well!"

"With Gene Fusion compatibility rate as high as 21%, your genius apprentice is destined for greatness. The rewards we will receive then will be unimaginable!"

"Also, whatever you do, don't let anyone else know about your genius disciple's terrifying talent!"

"I understand, Father."
