"Tell me, Miss Xuanyuan, what exactly do you know? Can you tell me?"

After taking a Nine-grade Snow Lotus Pill, it started to work. Lin Hai now felt mentally refreshed, and his injuries disappeared in an instant. He even felt strong enough to help an old lady cross the street... not to mention his ability in, er, other nightly undertakings.

"Don't call me Miss, I'm much older than you, you're only twenty-six after all."

Xuanyuan Qing said in a tone that sounded old-fashioned.

Lin Hai blinked, looking at her with disbelief.

That "after all" was well utilized, but how old are you really, Miss? From your appearance, you seem like sixteen, and the type that's easily toppled over.

"Eighteen years ago, I met him, and sixteen years have passed since then. Do the math on my age," Xuanyuan Qing retorted.

"Eighteen plus twenty-six equals forty-four..." Lin Hai calculated, counting on his fingers and mumbling to himself.

Then he was shocked.

A forty-four-year-old looking like a sixteen-year-old girl, is this some kind of reverse fate?

"What is it? You don't believe me? The inner strength I practice is different from others, so it has the effect of eternal youth."

Xuanyuan Qing said.

What else could Lin Hai not believe? If she was truly a sixteen-year-old girl, could she achieve Legendary level of strength?

He was just a bit surprised, yes, very surprised.

"Your injuries should be almost healed by now, right? Here, let me support you."

Before Lin Hai could react, Xuanyuan Qing's soft, tender little hand had already grabbed his shoulder and directly lifted him to stand on the ground.

"Whoa... such strength."

Lin Hai furiously complained inwardly, thinking that his lifelong reputation had finally encountered a monstrous devil today.

Xuanyuan Qing gazed at the standing Lin Hai and suddenly asked, "What's your father's name?"

"I don't know." Lin Hai shook his head blankly, this was also something he very much wanted to know.

"What about your mother?"

"Still don't know. I've been an orphan since childhood, always wandering on the streets, later adopted by someone from the orphanage, and then joined the army."

Lin Hai frankly recounted his past.

"Strange..." Xuanyuan Qing mumbled to herself, seemingly pondering something.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, slapped her forehead, and murmured, "Right, back when he had such a huge incident, he didn't have time to arrange everything properly, so there were loopholes."

"No, maybe he deliberately hid some information."

"Since he doesn't want his son to know who he is, I'll just ruin his plan, hehe."

Lin Hai looked at Xuanyuan Qing, who was sometimes excited and sometimes melancholy, in confusion. Could it be that this woman has some mental issues?

Of course, he wouldn't say these words out loud; after all, angering her would have dire consequences.

"Kid, do you want to know who your father is?" Xuanyuan Qing asked with a smile.

"The way you look at me makes me feel like I'm not wearing any underwear," Lin Hai gulped hard.

Xuanyuan Qing remained indifferent, laughing and said, "Let's start with the finger bone on your neck."

"This is a treasure your father acquired back then, something even the current Lin Family members don't know about. It records the complete Eight Stele Hand technique."

"With your current strength, at most you've grasped the basics of the New Three Styles. When you reach Legendary level, you can master the last three forms as one complete set, which makes up seven moves."

"When you surpass the Legendary level, you'll have the chance to master the ultimate move of the Eight Stele Hand—the Eighth Move."

"Earlier, when you used two fist techniques, you already showed signs of the last three forms combined, indicating you have great potential, worthy of being his son."

Xuanyuan Qing's words left Lin Hai dumbfounded.

"Seven Kills, Breaking Army Fist, are the foundation of the last three forms of the Eight Stele Hand?"

These two moves were intentionally taught to Lin Hai by a mystical taboo figure he encountered in Huaxia back then.

How Xuanyuan Qing described it made these two powerful moves sound like mere fragments of the last three forms of the Eight Stele Hand?

Moreover, how are the moves that the taboo figure of Huaxia mastered, connected to the Eight Stele Hand? Could it be that the Huaxia taboo figure is also connected to me?

Or perhaps connected to the Lin Family?

Or even to my father?

Or... goodness, so many 'or's... could it be that my father is indeed behind it all?

A series of questions made Lin Hai feel confused for the first time, the amount of information was overwhelming.

"By the way, just how powerful is this Eighth Move?" Lin Hai asked curiously. To him, the Seven Kills Breaking Army Fist was already formidable, yet it was just a fragment.

"How powerful? With a single move, it can kill someone at the Legendary level as if slaying a dog."

"This is just one aspect of it, the most important is that the execution of the Eighth Move requires very little Gang Qi and stamina, allowing a person to fight continuously."

"In terms of exertion, attack, and power utilization characteristics, it is incredibly refined."

"Of course, this is all I know. Aside from that, I'm unclear as the core aspects of the Eight Stele Hand are top secrets within the Lin Family in Yanjing and not something an outsider can fully comprehend."

Xuanyuan Qing shook her head.

Lin Hai widened his eyes. As a martial artist, he knew very well how precious a technique that can conserve Gang Qi while delivering immense destructive power was.

"By the way, Aunt Qing, do you know who the taboo figure of Huaxia is?"

Lin Hai asked out of curiosity.

"I don't know, but I suspect it has something to do with that heartless person," Xuanyuan Qing replied.

"Who exactly is that... heartless person?"

Upon hearing this question, Xuanyuan Qing gave Lin Hai a resentful glance.

That look almost shattered Lin Hai's heart, inwardly exclaiming how devilish it was.

"That heartless person is your father, I'm eighty percent sure of it."

Xuanyuan Qing's answer left Lin Hai dumbfounded.

No one had given him a direct answer to this question except Xuanyuan Qing.

"My father?"

"Do you know what my father's name is, by any chance?"

This was what Lin Hai most wanted to know.

"Your father's name is Lin Renwang, he's the son of the notorious Lin Dapao of the Lin Family in Yanjing. Back then, he was truly the top Super Young Master in Yanjing. Compared to him, the current Little Dragons of Xuanyuan are mere trash, not even a fraction of his magnificence."

"Whoa, I have such a badass dad?"

Lin Hai's eyes went wide, immensely excited inside.

He finally had a direction for his investigation—the name of his father.

"Lin Renwang... what a domineering name."

"Once I return, I must have Judge thoroughly investigate this and find out where my father is."

And the Lin Family in Yanjing, could it be as Demon Young Master Lin Jiang said, am I really part of the Lin Family in Yanjing?

"By the way, Aunt Qing, you keep calling him a heartless person, could it be you and my father were... lovers?" Lin Hai blinked, his eyes sparkling with intelligence.

"Hmph, if it weren't for Ye Hongdie taking the Human King away back then, how could I have remained solitary for twenty-eight years?!"

"Kid, your mother's name is Ye Hongdie. She, her sister Ye Zhiqiu, along with Xiao Bihai and Yang Ruyan, comprised the Four Famous Beauties of Yanjing back then."

Inwardly, Lin Hai laughed with joy, the very question he had asked earlier was to find out his mother's name.

"Ye Hongdie, my mother has such a gentle and beautiful name."

He had more clues now. Once this was all over, he had to immediately inform Judge to conduct a comprehensive investigation!

The mystery of his origins was about to be unraveled. Lin Hai was doing his best to suppress his enthusiastic excitement.

"Kid, come to my room for a bit," Xuanyuan Qing suddenly said.
