Urban: It turns out this is a comprehensive world

"No, that's not right!"

A thunderclap suddenly exploded in Luo Xixi's mind, and her eyes changed drastically as previously overlooked details came flooding back.

She finally realized that the sense of familiarity that lingered in her heart was not simply because Luo Lingtian's eyes resembled the person from last night.

More importantly, these eyes bear an astonishing resemblance to his mother's eyes!

She subconsciously stared intently, and the more she looked, the more alarmed she became. It wasn't just the eyes; the contours of Luo Lingtian's face and the subtle expressions between his brows all bore a faint resemblance to her mother's.

However, since her mother was a gentle woman, while Luo Lingtian in front of her exuded a fierce and heroic aura, displaying masculine strength and uprightness, she initially did not make any connection in this regard.

Add to that the inexplicable warmth emanating from Luo Lingtian that makes people want to get close to him, and the fact that he's an orphan...

A bold idea, so daring it made her heart race, began to grow uncontrollably in her mind.

She suppressed her surging emotions, picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and spoke casually, though her tone betrayed a barely perceptible tension: "I heard that Young Master Luo is an adopted son of the Luo family. I wonder where Young Master Luo lived before being adopted by your uncle and aunt?"

She knew this question was too abrupt and would easily arouse suspicion, but at this moment, the doubts in her heart weighed heavily on her, and she couldn't calm down until she found out the truth.

As soon as the words were spoken, the previously harmonious and lively atmosphere froze instantly, as if the air had been paused.

An eerie silence spread out, and apart from Lin Ruoxue and Luo Lingtian themselves, the other four looked at Luo Xixi thoughtfully.

Qin Qingcheng, Dongfang Mingyue, and Song Xinyan exchanged glances, a hint of surprise and understanding flashing in their eyes.

They were naturally aware of the true relationship between Luo Lingtian and Luo Xixi. The reason they specially invited Luo Xixi to Lingtian Manor was to let the two get to know each other first, paving the way for her to discover that Luo Lingtian was her long-lost older brother.

Unexpectedly, before they could even begin to guide her, Luo Xixi had already sensed something amiss based on her intuition.

Luo Yuntian's reaction was even more direct.

From the moment he noticed that Luo Xixi's gaze kept lingering on her older brother. It wasn't the curious look a young girl would give a man; rather, it seemed as if she was comparing or confirming something, with an eagerness to investigate.

At this moment, combined with this untimely and potentially offensive question, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he subtly scanned Luo Lingtian and Luo Xixi's faces.

Hey, you know what? If you look closely, the two of them do have some similarities in their eyebrows, eyes, and jawlines, and their inherent charm is exactly the same!

Lin Ruoxue, standing to the side, seemed somewhat at a loss, her small hands tightly gripping Luo Yuntian's sleeve, her face full of confusion.

She simply felt that it was extremely inappropriate for Luo Xixi to ask such a question in this setting, as it was both embarrassing and likely to offend people. She could only secretly observe everyone's expressions, not daring to make a sound.

Faced with this abrupt question, Luo Lingtian was slightly startled, but his fingertips remained as steady as Mount Tai, and his face showed no emotion. He said calmly, "Didn't Qingcheng tell you? I grew up in the Tomato Orphanage in Yucheng. I met my parents when I was five years old, and they adopted me before I came to Haishi."

"Yucheng?" Luo Xixi repeated softly, the light that had just ignited in her eyes instantly dimming, a trace of disappointment flashing across her eyes.

She clearly remembered her parents saying that they were attacked in Suzhou, and her baby brother was lost in the chaos, which had nothing to do with Yucheng.

But the next second, a thought suddenly struck her: Aren't Suzhou and Yucheng neighboring cities?

Perhaps something unexpected will happen? Thinking of this, her dim eyes lit up again, and the hope in her heart was rekindled.

But this hope was quickly suppressed by doubts: the bodyguard who helped his brother escape back then died in Suzhou. At that time, his brother was just a baby who couldn't even speak. How could he have ended up in an orphanage in Yucheng? This made the possibility seem even more remote.

Luo Lingtian's answer was calm and composed, without the slightest flaw, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Luo Xixi knew when to stop and didn't press the matter further. The group resumed their conversation, and the sounds of casual chatter filled the manor once again.

Only Dongfang Mingyue, taking advantage of the pause between raising her cup, subtly glanced at Luo Lingtian and Luo Xixi, thinking to herself: It seems I need to get Qingcheng to find an opportunity to guide Xixi as soon as possible, otherwise she might give up on her idea.

She knew in her heart that Luo Lingtian hadn't told the truth just now.

In fact, Luo Lingtian originally lived in Suzhou. After the old man who adopted him passed away, he was transferred to the Tomato Orphanage in Yucheng.

Luo Lingtian had already secretly altered the orphanage's records, making it appear to the outside world that he had grown up in the orphanage since infancy.

Tomato Orphanage isn't a top-tier facility, but over the years it has taken in hundreds of orphans.

The former dean who took in Luo Lingtian has long since passed away. The current dean can only rely on the files to understand the situation of the orphans in the past. No one would have thought that the files had been tampered with, so naturally they have no way of knowing the connection between Luo Lingtian and Sucheng.

Meanwhile, inside Zhao Hao's villa, the scene was completely different.

Zhao Hao was lying in bed recovering from his injuries, the bandages on his chest still in place, and his face was somewhat pale.

Yu Bingyu put down all her work to come and take care of him, and was sitting by the bed peeling an apple for him.

Suddenly, Zhao Hao stared at his phone screen, his brows furrowing deeply. A video was going viral on the top trending topics, showing the scene of his and Luo Lingtian's fierce battle with Xiao Chen's group last night!

Even the scene of Cheng Xiaotian standing in mid-air, which appeared later, was not cut at all.

"That's strange. How could the government allow videos of martial arts fights to circulate online?"

Zhao Hao muttered to himself, his tone full of confusion. Such scenes, which were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, should have been controlled long ago.

Yu Bingyu put down the apple, leaned over to take a look, and said in a calm tone, "That's not surprising."

In my previous life, videos of martial arts battles also surfaced, and the government did not restrict their dissemination, only about half a month later than it is now.

With memories of her past life, she was used to this, but she could never quite grasp the deeper meaning behind the country's actions.

When that video was leaked in the previous life, Zhao Hao had just passed away. Xiao Chen was targeting Mo Yu and Ye Fan, intending to secretly eliminate them. However, he did not expect that these two were not only powerful themselves, but also had a huge force behind them.

The sneak attack failed, instead triggering a direct confrontation between the three martial arts factions. The fight was filmed by passersby and uploaded to the internet, but the government still did not intervene to control it.

Zhao Hao shook his head, casually swiped the screen on his phone, and stopped worrying about it: "Forget it, since the country is letting it go, it must have some special plans."

Anyway, we didn't show our faces in the video, our identities weren't exposed, and it doesn't affect our normal lives.

Turning our gaze to Suzhou, in a quaint courtyard house, sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows.

Bai Yinghao, a burly, handsome middle-aged man, clutched his phone and strode to the center of the courtyard. He addressed the elderly man reclining in a rocking chair, eyes closed, saying, "Dad, look at this video! Isn't that old devil from the Cheng family in there?"

This old man was none other than Bai Zhenbang, the patriarch of the Bai family, a renowned martial arts family in Suzhou. His martial arts cultivation was unfathomable.

"What video?" Bai Zhenbang slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy eyes, and took the phone from his son.

"Huh? These are martial artists fighting?" After seeing the scene clearly, Bai Zhenbang raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with surprise.

After watching only the beginning, he smiled and waved his hand, "Which movie is this clip from? The fight scenes are quite realistic, much better than those big-budget blockbusters."

"Dad, this isn't a movie!"

Bai Yinghao quickly explained, tapping the screen, "This is a real video, and it's going viral online."

"Keep watching, a Celestial Realm expert appears in the background. Although the image is blurry, his figure and demeanor look very similar to that old man from the Cheng family."

"Oh? The Celestial Realm?"

Bai Zhenbang's expression instantly turned serious. He sat up straight, swiped his finger across the screen, and stared intently at the video, no longer showing the slightest bit of contempt.

"It really is that old bastard from the Cheng family. Where is this place? What's that old man doing there?"

After watching the entire video, Bai Zhenbang seemed to be deep in thought.

"The location is a mirage."

Bai Yinghao spoke up, then said with a somewhat gloomy expression, "Dad, you saw the young man who was beaten in the video, right? After that old guy arrived at the scene, he seemed to pay extra attention to that young man."

"It's even quite possible that they went there specifically for that young man."

Although the image is not clear and no words can be heard between them, the situation can still be analyzed.

After Cheng Xiaotian arrived at the scene, he immediately used his aura to suppress those who wanted to kill the young man.

After landing, he checked on the injured youth's condition and then attacked the people there.

It was obvious that Cheng Xiaotian went there because of the injured young man.

"Is this a descendant of the Cheng family? The Cheng family is getting more and more arrogant!"

Bai Zhenbang narrowed his eyes, a cold smile appearing on his lips.

The Cheng family's roots are in Yangcheng. Normally, the Cheng family members would act arrogantly and do whatever they wanted in Yangcheng.

Unexpectedly, they went to Haishi this time. Although I don't know the details, I think it must be that this younger generation of the Cheng family provoked these people there.

Then he discovered that the other party was not an ordinary person and was almost beaten to death.

"Dad, this person is not any of the younger generation of the Cheng family that I know, but Old Man Cheng went to Haishi in person for him."

Bai Yinghao, however, had a different opinion and expressed his guess: "The disciples he recruited probably don't have that kind of influence."

I heard that Xiao Guodong and Cheng Ying rushed back to Yangcheng from the capital overnight.

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenbang's narrowed eyes suddenly snapped open, revealing a terrifying glint in them.
