On the other side, Shen Yan, who was in the guest room, was sitting by the window, staring at several green bamboos in the yard in a daze.

[Host, do you need me to help you exchange medicine in the system? ] Xiao San looked at the wound on Shen Yan's back that was oozing blood, feeling a little distressed.

Shen Yan came back to his senses after hearing the voice and shook his head gently.

"My wound is just a superficial one." Shen Yan responded indifferently, his eyes never leaving the green bamboo outside the window.

and……

Thinking of that incident, Shen Yan’s thoughts drifted further away.

Shen Yan received a summons from the Shen family on the third day after arriving at the Shen family. That morning, he followed a servant through the Shen family's huge courtyard and finally arrived at the reception hall, which was decorated with gorgeous and solemn decorations.

As soon as he entered the hall, Shen Yan felt several sharp eyes on him. It turned out that several elders of the Shen family had been waiting here for a long time. They looked serious, and their eyes revealed scrutiny and expectation.

Faced with such a scene, Shen Yan was not at all panicked. Instead, he respectfully bowed to the elders and then sat down in a seat nearby as instructed.

He knew very well that the next conversation was crucial, as it might determine his future status and fate in the Shen family.

The head of the Shen family, the highly respected old man Shen, was the first to break the silence and said, "Young Master! Thanks to your help some time ago, our Shen family members were saved from an accident. I am very grateful! But I don't know your name and where you live?"

Shen Yan nodded slightly and answered: "Grandpa, you are too polite. My name is Shen Yan, and I am a lonely and helpless person. My memory of the past is vague, and I only vaguely remember that my family seemed to be in the capital. This time I came to your house, and I wanted to take this opportunity to find the whereabouts of my relatives..." At this point, he spoke frankly, revealing his true purpose without any concealment.

After all, with the means and wisdom he currently possessed, it would be beyond his ability to play tricks in front of these experienced old guys. It would be better to just get straight to the point, which would appear more open and generous.

"Oh... so... you are suspicious..." The old man paused slightly after hearing this, and everyone present also cast curious and inquiring glances at him, carefully sizing up and down the young man in front of them.

"Yes, after arriving in the capital these days, I asked around and heard that the Shen family had lost a young master many years ago. He was about my age, so I took the liberty of visiting them today to test whether it was true." Shen Yan answered calmly.

Old Master Shen exchanged a glance with several other elders of the clan, and a sharp light flashed in their eyes.

Indeed, the Shen family once lost a son, and this incident was like a thorn deeply buried in the Shen family's heart.

You know, the Shen family has always upheld a strict family tradition and is very cautious about taking concubines. Therefore, the number of children in their family is relatively small. Each child is a treasure of the Shen family, carrying the family's expectations and future.

If the handsome young man in front of him is indeed the child who disappeared that year, it would be great news for the Shen family.

Mr. Shen took a deep breath, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly: "Young Master, can you let me see the birthmark on your shoulder?"

Shen Yan raised his lips slightly and nodded, "Of course." After that, he gently opened his collar, revealing his shoulders. On his shoulders, a birthmark as bright and dazzling as a flame was clearly visible.

Old Master Shen's eyes suddenly shrank, his face full of astonishment, he stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Shen Yan, and looked closely at the flame-shaped birthmark. The other elders also gathered around, their faces extremely solemn and heavy.

Shen Yan stood there quietly, his mind was unusually calm, without any sense of nervousness, because he knew very well that this birthmark was one of the unique characteristics of the direct descendants of the Shen family; at the same time, the original owner was undoubtedly the young master of the Shen family.

After being silent for a long time, Mr. Shen finally let out a long sigh, and his face revealed an indescribable complex expression. Then, he slowly raised his head and stared at Shen Yan in front of him, with endless waves of emotions in his eyes.

They had been searching for him for ten years! Now their efforts had finally paid off - they had found him!

"Child, you...you are really the bloodline of our Shen family!" Old Master Shen shouted excitedly, his voice trembling slightly, as if the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time were finally released at this moment.

Shen Yan was delighted, but he did not show it. He bowed deeply and said respectfully, "Grandpa, I have had this birthmark since I was a child, and it has never changed. But does the Shen family have any other secret recipes that can verify whether I really belong to the Shen family bloodline..."

Mr. Shen nodded slightly in agreement, his eyes full of joy and relief. He gently patted Shen Yan on the shoulder and said slowly, "Yes, it is. Someone, come here! Bring the things up."

Shortly after he finished speaking, several servants quickly brought in an exquisite wooden box. Mr. Shen personally stepped forward and carefully opened the lid. Inside the box was a piece of soft jade that was as white as snow, warm and delicate. At first glance, it seemed nothing special.

"Child, I need to borrow a drop of your blood." Old Master Shen whispered.

Without any hesitation, Shen Yan decisively stretched out his right hand, and his slender fingers gently touched the flawless white jade. In an instant, a drop of blood as bright as a gem oozed out from his fingertips and seeped into the jade at an astonishing speed, as if it was swallowed up and disappeared in a flash.

Old Master Shen stared at the white jade in his hand with wide eyes. A burning flame gradually appeared on the surface of the jade, which was originally normal. Its shape was exactly the same as the birthmark on Shen Yan's shoulder. The elders of the Shen family who were present witnessed this scene, and they were all excited and excited.

Old Master Shen was so excited that he could hardly control himself. He tightly grasped Shen Yan's hands, his voice trembling slightly with excitement: "My good child, this piece of white jade is a token unique to the direct bloodline of the Shen family. Only the blood of the direct bloodline can awaken its power. You...you are really the child of our Shen family who has been separated for many years!"

At this moment, a glimmer of tears flashed across Shen Yan's eyes. He bowed deeply again, and said firmly and forcefully: "In this case, the doubts in my heart are relieved!"

"You are really Yan'er." A burly man stepped forward, opened his arms and hugged him tightly, his voice trembling slightly.

"You are..." Shen Yan was slightly stunned and asked in confusion.

"Silly child, I am your father! If your little dad knew that you have been found, he would be ecstatic..."
