Chapter 778: Insisting on stealing your thunder (1/2)

Since Gu Yuntian had nothing going on with Tang Li’s mother, then Gu Yuntian wasn’t related to Tang Li at all. Why would their blood combine? Everyone was confused by the words. Ning Jing couldn’t bother worrying about how Tang Li had dragged Cloud Realm Trade Consortium into this mess because she was lost as well.

“Was his father the guilty one instead?” she muttered to herself. As soon as the words left her mouths, she cursed herself for being crazy. Even if Gu Yuntian and Tang Zijin were cheaters, the two of them together couldn’t have made Tang Li!

“Then could Gu Yuntian have blood relations with the Tang Clan?” Ning Jing guessed, but Gu Yuntian had already revealed the answer.

“--because the very method of ‘verifying relations with drops of blood’ is wrong! If nothing’s been done to the water, then anyone’s blood, even those of dogs and cats, will combine in the liquid!”

An uproar rose at his words. No one was more stunned than members of the medical community. So these were the important research results that the Academy Head wanted to announce at the Apricot Woods Conference? Recognizing relations by dripping blood has been accepted for hundreds of years. But it’s actually all false? How can this be?

Unlike outsiders, the professionals in the medical community with equal parts stunned and moved. Soon enough, some of them couldn’t help but ask questions.

“Academy Head Gu, how can you prove that the method is fake?”

“Academy Head Gu, where’s your evidence? How did you get these results?”

“Academy Head Gu, do you have specific research cases documented? Can you publicize them for everyone to study?”

Han Yunxi had guessed this was the case, but she still couldn’t accept the words coming from Gu Yuntian’s own lips. Even in the modern world, plenty of people were still convinced by the blood dripping method. It was admirable of Gu Yuntian to reject such ways, which would have a long-lasting impact across all of Cloud Realm Continent. All things aside, it would save a lot of people from unfair accusations in court.

But this spelled nothing but disaster for Gu Qishao! She looked at him now, expecting him to be disappointed and challenge Gu Yuntian. But all he did was stare at Gu Yuntian with traces of a smile. Despite this, Han Yunxi only felt pained by the sight. Her heart grew heavy as she lost all grasp of Gu Qishao’s feelings at this instant.

“Someone come, bring those two things onstage!” Gu Yuntian was already old, but vigorous and high-spirited as ever. To him, defeating Gu Qishao now didn’t make him as happy as announcing the results of his five years’ worth of research. Once news of his findings spread, his name would grow more and more brilliant. He might even be pushed by the medical academy to rise to ninth rank Sovereign Doctor, the first ever in Cloud Realm Continent history! Not only would he go into the annals of medical history, but have his name in the continent’s historical records as well. People would remember him throughout the ages! Even his pores opened up at the thought as if greedily taking in their owner’s joyful mood.

Under the gazes of every present, a young medical asisstant came onstage with a cat and dog, then changed the bowl of water for a fresh one.

“Will this lady like to taste this bowl of water as well?” Gu Yuntian smiled at Han Yunxi, whose gaze was cold as she remained silent. She knew better than Gu Yuntian the truth about the dripping blood test! There was no need for him to show off!

Gu Yuntian didn’t fuss with Han Yunxi, but asked the rest of the crowd, “Does anyone else want to test this bowl of water?”

“Me!” Ning Jing raised her hand up high.

“Dare I ask this lady for your name?”Gu Yuntian asked.

“Cloud Realm Trade Consortium’s Ouyang Ning Jing!” Ning Jing reported, though everyone already knew she was Tang Li’s wife since he was onstage.

She tasted the water and proclaimed objectively, “It’s nothing but a bowl of clear water.”

Satisfied, Gu Yuntian nodded his head. The medical assistant quickly took out a drop of cat blood and dog blood and dripped them into the water for everyone to see. It wasn’t long before the two droplets dissolved in the water and combined to turn it faint red again. Both Tang Li and Ning Jing found the sight inconceivable, while Gu Qishao was still fixated on Gu Yuntian’s face. No one could tell what he was thinking. Once that bowl of water spread offstage, everyone expressed their disbelief and curiosity.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve all seen it. No matter whose blood it is, as long as it’s in water, it’ll combine! If there’s any doubters, everyone can try for themselves. Human blood with cat or dog blood can combine too!” Gu Yuntian announced.

There really were a few skeptics in the crowd who bit open their fingers and tested the theory right there and then. The results were exactly as Gu Yuntian predicted! The crowd was both impressed and amazed by the facts and expressed their admiration.

“How can this be? Academy Head Gu, can you explain it for us?”

“That’s right, Academy Head Gu. When did you discover this error? How long have you been researching it?”

All sorts of questions floated onstage. Gu Yuntian stroked his beard, quite proud of himself. Gu Qishao’s matters had already been placed on the back burner in his head. Now the stage was wholly his and his alone!

He had discovered the flawed method purely by chance when he accidentally cut his finger one day and dripped his blood with a cat’s into the same bowl of clear water. When he saw that the two mixed instead of repelling each other, he was so thrilled that he didn’t sleep for three days and three nights. From then on, he began secretly researching this away from everyone, including Academy Head Ling. Now he raised his hands for everyone to settle down.
