Gu Yuntian didn't deny that Gu was Gu Qi Sha, nor did he deny that he was Xiao Qi, who had been expelled from the medical academy all those years ago.
He asked incredulously, "Xiao Qi, I didn't think you'd side with the Poison Sect!"
His tone was filled with astonishment, shock, and anger. Compared to the past, Gu Yuntian was even better at acting.
However, Gu was no longer the gullible Xiao Qi of yesteryear. He chuckled, but his reply sent the crowd into an uproar.
"Father," he said, "you taught me all my poison skills. Why did you side with the Poison Sect? You're much more powerful than the Poison Sect. "
There was too much information in this sentence, so much so that when everyone heard the first word, they didn't have time to pay attention to the second word.
Father!
Father?
Gu called Gu Yuntian "father"?
Heavens, did they hear wrong? Everyone was at a loss as they turned to look at the people next to them, hoping that they'd heard wrong.
Even the medical academy's vice head and elders, who were closest to Gu, looked at each other in surprise.
"Gu Beiyue … he … what did he just say?" Han Yunxi murmured.
If this was Gu's surprise, his big gift, then it was too shocking. If she had to guess, she'd never be able to guess it in her lifetime!
"I really didn't expect …" Gu Beiyue's usually calm eyes were filled with surprise. He'd long guessed that Gu was Gu Qi Sha, Head Elder Ling's adopted son. He also knew that there was something fishy about Gu Yuntian taking medicine since he was young. This imposter must know many secrets of the medical academy, and even his poison skills might have come from the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds.
But he never expected this result. Gu was actually Gu Yuntian's son!
Wasn't this joke a bit too much?
The calmest people present were none other than Gu Qishao and Gu Yuntian. Gu Qishao's lips had maintained an enchanting smile from beginning to end, as if he was a bystander watching others make a fool of themselves. It had nothing to do with him.
Gu Yuntian was already prepared for Xiao Qi to come back for revenge, so he had nothing to worry about.
"Xiao Qi, you're clearly Ling Guyi's adopted son. Old Man only agreed to let Ling Guyi make an exception and let you stay in the medical school because he was moved by compassion. Who would have thought that not only did you not know how to be grateful, you even bit the hand that fed you. He'd stolen the medicinal ingredients back then, but now he'd thrown his lot in with the Poison Sect and come back to humiliate Old Man and the medical academy's reputation. What kind of good intentions do you have? "
Gu Yuntian's face was filled with rage. He wanted to rush in front of Gu Qishao, but was blocked by vines. He viciously waved aside the vines in front of him, allowing his palms to bleed from the punctures. "Little Qi, you have to take responsibility for your words today. You have to speak clearly, or else don't even think of leaving Medical City!"
"Father." Gu seemed to be doing it on purpose as he called his father again.
Father was the only person who'd grown up with him. When he'd been hiding in the Poison Sect's forbidden grounds as a child, he'd had no mother or friends. It was hard to even see a single person. He only had his father.
After being tricked into coming to the medical academy and becoming Head Elder Ling's adopted son, he'd refused to call him "father" no matter what Head Elder Ling said.
Perhaps even his father didn't know that this word was the only hope in his heart, the only thing he could rely on, the only hope for survival.
Head Elder Ling had always lied to him. As long as he was obedient and drank his medicine, he'd be able to see his father.
In the end, he'd had no choice but to pretend that he'd lost his memories. Whenever he saw Head Elder Ling, he'd call him "father," "father," over and over again. From then on, the word had lost all meaning in his heart and became nothing more than a sarcastic word.
Gu Qishao's voice was so natural and sweet that everyone present felt like they were father and son.
"Father, since you gave birth to me, why don't you dare acknowledge me? What are you afraid of? "Gu asked with a chuckle.
He looked so happy, but in front of everyone's eyes, his heart was probably bleeding, wasn't it?
Everyone had old scars, and they all felt pain from time to time. However, not everyone had the courage to tear open the old scars that had already formed scabs and expose the bloody flesh in front of the public.
Wasn't Gu afraid of pain the most? How could he smile like that?
Han Yunxi still didn't know what was going on, but seeing Gu's carefree smile made her heart ache for no reason.
"Old Man, you're afraid? Gu, you're the one who should be afraid! You're full of nonsense. Ask everyone here, who's going to believe your nonsense?! "
It was obvious that everyone was on Gu Yuntian's side.
"Of course I have evidence. If I didn't, would I be here to court death?" Gu smiled casually.
Gu Yuntian's heart gave a start, but he quickly calmed down. He'd already silenced everyone involved in the affair, including Gu Qishao's birth mother and his wet nurse. He refused to believe that Gu Qishao would be able to produce any evidence today.
"Evidence? Haha, then let go of Old Man first! Take out the evidence and show it to everyone. Let this old man have a good look too! Today, in front of all the heroes, if it really was Old Man's fault, then Old Man won't be able to escape. If you're just making things up and slandering Old Man and Medical City, then don't blame Old Man for being impolite! "Gu Yuntian's calmness reassured everyone present.
After all, if Gu really was Gu Yuntian's son, then many things would be lost.
"Alright!" Gu waved his hand, and all the vines withered and fell to the ground. Gu Yuntian hurriedly walked away, finally safe.
"Where's the evidence?" He Coldly questioned.
At this moment, everyone was staring at Gu, waiting for him to take out the so-called evidence.
"What is he trying to do?" Han Yunxi had no confidence at all. Gu Beiyue frowned, "This guy …"
Not far away, the imperial physician from Northern Li also had a serious expression. His hawk-like sharp eyes were nailed to Gu, unable to move away.
Waiting, in fact, was only a moment, but some people present couldn't wait any longer.
Vice President Lin of the Medical College shouted, "Gu, where's the evidence? Take it out for us to see. "
"That's right, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and take it out for us to see. Don't tell me you can't take it out? "Another vice president also shouted.
Gu elegantly raised his hand, but rudely pointed at Gu Yuntian with his index finger, "Do you dare to do a blood test?"
Once this was said, the whole place was silent. No one expected Gu to come up with this method.
This wasn't any evidence, but it was the most effective and direct method.
No matter if it was a paternity test or solving a case, it was widely used.
For Gu to come up with this method, could it be that he was really confident? Could it be that he was really Gu Yuntian's son?
Even the two vice presidents of the Medical College shut their mouths. They couldn't help but look at Gu Yuntian, but Gu Yuntian was still calm, as if he wasn't afraid.
Gu Yuntian wasn't afraid? But if Gu wasn't completely confident, he wouldn't have set himself up like this!
For a moment, everyone was confused. They didn't know who to believe more.
Han Yunxi was laughing.
When she heard Gu Qishao say "dripping blood to confirm kinship," she almost snorted.
This method wasn't scientific at all, but Gu wasn't at a disadvantage when he used it!
Blood test was regarded as the standard to verify blood relations in this era. Not to mention Gu, even Gu Beiyue, who was beside her, and the number one in the medical field, Gu Yuntian, believed in it without a doubt.
There were two ways to identify kinship by blood. One was to identify kinship by bone, and the other was to combine blood.
The so-called bone test was to find the remains of the biological father or mother and drip the blood on the bones. If the blood was absorbed by the bones, it could prove that they were related by blood. This method was mentioned in the very famous forensic medical book, "Records of Innocence". Originally, this method was used to solve the case, but it ended up creating a false case.
Because different bones had different effects of blood dripping. If the bones had not withered, the structure was complete, and there was still soft tissue on the surface, then no matter if the blood dripped from a relative or an outsider, it would not be absorbed by the bones. If the bones had decayed and become white bones, then the bones would be corroded and become soft. Then, no matter if the blood dripped from a relative or an outsider, it would be absorbed.
Therefore, the Bone Drop Identification was a probabilistic event.
Luckily, Gu Yuntian was still alive, so Gu didn't need to use the blood test. He only needed to use the blood test.
The so-called Blood Fusion Method was the most common method of blood identification. Dripping two people's blood into a bowl of clear water to see if the two drops of blood would fuse together. If they fused together, then they were related by blood. If they didn't, then they weren't relatives.
This method was also wrong.
Because, no matter whose blood it was, two people, or many people, or even animal and human blood, it could fuse together in the end!
If Gu Yuntian agreed to Gu Qishao's blood test, then Gu Qishao would definitely win!
Han Yunxi still couldn't imagine or believe that Gu was really Gu Yuntian's son. She only knew that if Gu won, then things would be much easier for them!
"Father," Gu Qishao called out sweetly again. "Do you dare?"
"Yes!" Gu Yuntian agreed just like that.
Han Yunxi firmly believed that Gu wouldn't lie in this situation because the price of lying was too high. Then where did Gu Yuntian's confidence come from?
"Someone, bring a bowl of water!" Gu Yuntian was very straightforward.
A complicated look flashed past Gu's eyes. He seemed to be surprised by Gu Yuntian's attitude, but he still insisted. He bit his finger first.
The water was quickly brought over. Seeing that Gu was about to drip his blood in, Han Yunxi was worried and quickly stopped him. "Old man, wait!"
The moment Han Yunxi spoke, everyone looked over. Luckily, she was in disguise and had purposely pretended to have a hoarse voice.
Ignoring everyone's scrutinizing eyes, she strode forward and tasted the water. After confirming that there was no salt or acid added, she was relieved.
Although any blood could fuse together in water, if the water was tampered with and some acid or salt was added, the blood would solidify and not move. It would never be able to fuse.
Gu Yuntian agreed so easily, so she naturally had to help Gu guard against this.
Han Yunxi tasted it and found that there was nothing wrong with the water. It was really water.
Now Han Yunxi was at a loss as well. Which one of them was lying?
"And who are you?" Gu Yuntian coldly looked at Han Yunxi.
