"I remember that it was a night filled with thunder and lightning …" Yang Shuqin was lost in her memories.
That night, there was a storm, lightning, and thunder. Yang Shuqin had already fallen asleep, but she was still worried about the children in the orphanage, so she got up to patrol again before returning to the dormitory to rest.
The houses in the orphanage were all bungalows. She walked around with an umbrella, but because of the heavy rain and strong wind, her clothes were already soaked through.
Just as she was about to return to the dormitory, she suddenly heard a baby crying.
The sound of the thunderstorm was already very loud, so the baby's cry was very weak. She thought it was an illusion, but the habit she had developed over the years made her feel uneasy, so she still walked towards the source of the sound with an umbrella.
As she walked past a house, she was stunned to see a naked baby lying in the corner of the wall, allowing the rain to wash his body.
When she came back to her senses, she quickly ran over and hugged the baby in her arms. Just as she was about to leave, she found that there were six triangular metal pieces under the baby's body. On the metal pieces, there was a faint light that flickered and then extinguished.
Yang Shuqin didn't have time to think. She picked up the metal pieces and carried the baby back to the house. After that, she named the baby Yang Fan and raised him into an adult.
"You're saying that I appeared out of thin air on a stormy night?" Yang Xuan asked with a frown.
"Yeah, your biological parents are really heartless. They threw you naked in here in the middle of the night. If I didn't find out in time, sigh …" Yang Shuqin sighed when she talked about this.
Yang Xuan thought for a moment and asked again, "Teacher, what happened to the six metal pieces that were under me back then?"
He felt that these six metal pieces should be the key to unraveling his background.
Yang Shuqin looked apologetic. "When you were six years old, there was a thief in the orphanage. A lot of things were lost, and your six metal pieces also disappeared."
Yang Xuan's heart showed a trace of disappointment. This was more than ten years ago. It was easier said than done to find out now.
"I vaguely remember that there were different patterns on the six metal plates, like …" Yang Shuqin pondered for a moment before continuing, "Like clouds. That's right, clouds."
Yang Xuan took note of this clue.
"Xiao Fan, actually, I want to tell you that your biological parents must have had some unspeakable reasons for leaving you in the orphanage. There are no parents in this world who don't love their children. Perhaps something unexpected happened to them and they had no choice but to send you to the orphanage. Don't hate them." Yang Shuqin consoled.
"That won't happen!" Yang Xuan smiled and asked, "Oh right, Teacher Liu, he …"
The Teacher Liu that Yang Xuan mentioned was Yang Shuqin's lover, an elementary school teacher.
"Alas!" Yang Shuqin sighed and tears appeared in her eyes. After a long while, she said, "Everything is fate. Forget it. Talking about it will only add to the sadness. Don't ask."
Seeing that his teacher didn't want to talk about it, Yang Xuan naturally didn't ask anymore. After chatting for a while, he got up and said goodbye.
"Come back more often in the future. Don't worry about bringing anything," the teacher said.
"Teacher, I'll come back often to see you." Yang Xuan said.
After leaving the dilapidated neighborhood, Yang Xuan walked into a nearby park to organize his thoughts.
He wouldn't be staying here for long, so his first task was to find the 108 usable energy to "revive" him.
Once he was revived, he would find a way to rebuild the Heaven-splitting Ship and head to the coordinates left behind by the Martial God to see what was released.
In truth, Yang Xuan could have entered the universe alone, but as he had said before, he was unable to perform a spatial jump, and had no way of locating the coordinates. Even if he entered the universe, he would be completely blind, and would not be able to reach the coordinates.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.
In the novels he read in his previous life, the cultivators could move mountains and fill the seas. They could also travel freely in the universe, from one planet to another. Why couldn't he do it?
He really wanted to know how those cultivators could find the coordinates in the boundless universe, and how they could cross great distances and move between the universes.
Other than the above two important things, there was also his background.
Now it seemed that his appearance was too sudden and out of place in this world. Especially the six mysterious metal pieces that his teacher spoke of, they gave him a feeling of extreme importance.
Therefore, he had to get these six metal pieces back no matter what.
He already knew from his teacher when the orphanage was robbed. He planned to go to the police to investigate and see if they could find any clues about the thief.
"Hey ha!"
Yang Xuan was deep in thought when he suddenly heard a shout from not far away.
Yang Xuan looked up and saw an old man practicing martial arts by the lake.
Looking at his posture, he was practicing the world's most widespread Tai Chi.
Yang Xuan looked at him for a while, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Following the movement of the old man's fist, there was a weak flow of Qi flowing quickly along the meridians in the old man's body. Wherever the fist went, the Qi flow would also flow there, shaking the air and making a slight crackling sound.
"Qigong?" Yang Xuan was a bit surprised.
In his previous life, he had heard that there were some strange people in this world who were called martial arts masters. They could break stones with their palms, and they had internal strength.
He had thought that it was just a legend, but now that he saw this old man, there was actually a weak flow of Qi in his body. It was really amazing.
Although the level of this Qi flow was many times lower than his, and it was even inferior to the martial artists of the Martial God Planet, it was still the first time he saw a so-called martial arts master. He was very interested.
"Elder!" Yang Xuan walked over and cupped his hands.
The old man was a bit unhappy that his practice was interrupted. He stopped and said, "Young man, what's the matter?"
Yang Xuan asked, "Elder, do you practice Taiji Fist?"
The old man thought that Yang Xuan was a martial arts enthusiast, and his expression softened. "Yes, it is Chen's Taiji Fist."
At this time, two tall men walked out from the side and stared at Yang Xuan with unfriendly eyes.
Yang Xuan ignored them and asked, "Elder, I see that your Taiji Fist is very different from others. How do you practice it?"
The old man smiled and shook his head. "Young man, it's very impolite to ask people like this."
Yang Xuan naturally knew that it was inappropriate. After thinking about it, he didn't ask anymore. He said, "Since it's not convenient for you, then forget it. We'll meet again someday."
With that, he cupped his hands again and turned to leave.
The old man's face showed a strange expression. The young man in front of him was young, but he always felt that there was a different kind of aura coming from him.
"What a strange young man." He muttered to himself as he watched Yang Xuan's back disappear into the distance.
"You should go back." The burly man at the side took out a coat and put it on the old man.
"Mm, let's go!" The old man nodded and asked, "Oh right, have you found the person on Zilu Road?"
"Master, we've found the person, but we haven't made contact yet." The burly man said respectfully.
"Hmph, that bastard. He allowed my Ren family's bloodline to wander outside for so many years and hid it from us. If it weren't for this accident, I would still be in the dark. What a bastard." The old man said unhappily.
As a bodyguard, the burly man naturally didn't dare to answer. He lowered his head and didn't say anything.
"Go and tell him to bring my granddaughter back as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'll teach him a lesson." The old man was angry for a long time and said decisively.
"Yes!" The burly man replied and helped the old man leave.
