Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 123 Family

"Big brother, we're back!"

Luo Xia flew to Luo Feng's side with a smile on his face.

Seeing his expression, Luo Feng couldn't help but ask, "How was the trip to Mars?"

"A huge gain!" Rorschach gestured. "At least until you advance to the Stellar Star level, you won't have to worry about running out of metal!"

Luo Feng was startled. "How much metal did you obtain?"

Luo Xia smiled and said, "The base that Babata took me to was specifically for mining Xuan Iron ore. I dismantled the entire base city and finally obtained 92.8 billion tons of Xuan Iron, as well as a large amount of Xuan Iron Essence and Xuan Iron Mother!"

"So many!"

Luo Feng was surprised, and then delighted. With so much Xuan Iron, he should be able to speed up his journey to the Hengxing level!

……

In the time that followed, Luo Feng devoted himself to cultivation on Mist Island, absorbing Xuan Iron and Xuan Iron Essence.

His strength continues to improve.

Planetary level three, planetary level four...

After Luo Feng finishes his cultivation, he will release the defenses of his inner world, allowing Luo Xia's consciousness to enter and observe the golden runes on the "Starry Sky Core," and comprehend the innate secret techniques within.

Days passed by like this.

Luo Xia did not stay on Fog Island with Luo Feng.

Whenever he has time, he goes home to comfort his parents and family, and also to visit Xu Xin on Luo Feng's behalf.

Because she became pregnant while in college, Xu Xin's belly started to show after the end of the next semester.

So after the holiday started, Luo Xia brought Xu Xin to his home.

Gong Xinlan was very happy to see that Xu Xin was pregnant.

After Luo Xia brought Xu Xin home, Gong Xinlan took meticulous care of her every day. According to her:

With Luo Feng away, as her mother, she couldn't let Xu Xin feel wronged; she had to take good care of her!

The Xu family naturally knew that Xu Xin was pregnant.

But they had no objection to it; on the contrary, they were happy to see it happen.

After all, Luo Feng is now a powerful figure at the level of a councilor, a big shot that even the country has to treat with caution!

There are too many people and forces who want to become in-laws with Luo Feng.

For example, the Wang family, the most powerful family in the capital, wanted to marry their daughters to Luo Feng or Luo Xia in order to win them over.

However, Luo Feng and Luo Xia were always immersed in cultivation and never attended any parties or banquets.

These families and forces that wanted to use their wives as a weapon never had the chance to do so.

Previously, Xu's elders were worried that Xu Xin would not be able to hold onto Luo Feng.

Unexpectedly, the young man turned raw rice into cooked rice.

The elders were overjoyed the moment they learned that Xu Xin was pregnant!

Instead of blaming Xu Xin, they planned to have her drop out of school and go home to rest during her pregnancy.

However, Xu Xin insisted on finishing the semester's classes and did not agree to take a leave of absence.

After Xu Xin and Luo Feng's relationship officially stabilized, the Xu family's status in the HR Alliance rose steadily thanks to their relationship with Luo Feng.

Today, within the entire HR Alliance, the Xu family's influence is comparable to that of the nine core families!

That day, Luo Xia was cultivating with Luo Feng on Fog Island, trying to comprehend the Golden Horned Beast's innate secret techniques.

A phone call suddenly came in.

It's my dad, Luo Hongguo.

Luo Xia answered the phone, "Dad, what's up?"

"Xia, an old gentleman named Liu Yan came to our house. He said he found our relatives. You might need to come home for a visit," Luo Hongguo said excitedly over the phone.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia couldn't help but exchange a glance with his older brother Luo Feng, who was lying opposite him.

He nodded and said to Luo Hongguo, "Dad, I'm going back right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Luo Xia looked at Luo Feng and said, "Brother, I'll head back now."

"Okay, go ahead." Luo Feng nodded.

……

When Luo Xia got home, he saw an old man sitting on the sofa.

Opposite the old man sat Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan.

Luo Hua's girlfriends, Zhen Nan and Xu Xin, sat to the side, listening to the three elders speak.

"Congressman Luo Xia, hello, I am Liu Yan."

Seeing Luo Xia approach, the old man stood up, extended his hand to Luo Xia, and introduced himself.

Luo Xia reached out and shook hands with the old man, smiling, "Hello, Mr. Liu, thank you for making this trip."

After exchanging pleasantries, he sat down with the old man.

Liu Yan said, "It's no trouble at all. We've been searching for information ever since we received Councilor Luo Feng's request for help in finding his relatives."

He sighed as he spoke, "But when the Great Nirvana occurred, many files were damaged or lost, making them very difficult to find. We only recently found some information, and after repeated confirmation, we came to inform you."

"Who did you find?" Rorschach asked.

"Mr. Liu Yan and his team have found my cousin and your mother's cousin!" Luo Hongguo exclaimed excitedly. "And your great-aunt is still alive!"

Luo Xia thought for a moment and said, "I remember my great-aunt. My dad often talked about her when I was little."

When he was a child, Luo Hongguo often talked about his aunt.

According to Luo Hongguo's description, his aunt Luo Hongqin was not much older than him, and she often took him out to play and bought him food.

Luo Xia was somewhat surprised at this moment, not expecting that his great-aunt was still alive.

Liu Yan said apologetically, "We have only found these two people so far. As for the other relatives of Councilor Luo, we are still searching for them."

"Thank you very much," Rorschach said.

Liu Yan smiled, stood up and said, "I've already had the information sent. Now that I've informed Councilor Luo, I won't bother you any longer. Farewell."

"Mr. Liu, please sit for a while longer."

"No, I still have work to finish."

"Then take care."

Luo Xia escorted Liu Yan to the door, watched him get into the car and leave, and then returned to the living room.

At this moment, both Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan had red eyes.

They were excited to hear news of their loved ones.

Luo Hongguo wiped away his tears and said, "Every time my aunt came to visit me, she would bring me delicious food and even bought me a handheld game console. I still remember her face clearly."

He looked at Luo Xia and asked, "Xia, quickly take a look at the information that Mr. Liu sent you. Where are your great-aunt and the others living now? Let's go find them now."

Luo Xia opened the information Liu Yan sent him, quickly read it, and said to Luo Hongguo, "Dad, my aunt and the others are currently living in Tianjin City in the Kyoto base city."

"So that's where it was!" Luo Hongguo exclaimed with delight. "My aunt and her family were traveling in Kyoto at the time. They must have been stranded there after the disaster broke out, so they settled down there."

Gong Xinlan said, "Old man, you and the children go. Xu Xin is in a condition where it's inconvenient for her to go out. I'll stay home and take care of her."

Luo Hongguo glanced at Xu Xin and nodded, "Alright, then you can stay at home."

"Uncle, Aunt, you should both go," Zhen Nan said at this moment. "I'll stay home to take care of Sister Xin."

Xu Xin smiled and said, "With Xiao Nan taking care of me, I'll be fine. Dad, Mom, you can go without worry."

Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan exchanged a glance and nodded.

After making preparations, Luo Xia, along with his parents and second brother Luo Hua, boarded a fighter jet and flew towards Tianjin City, the base city of Kyoto.

Around 4 p.m. that day, the deep blue intelligent fighter jet landed on the helipad of the Extreme Club in Tianjin.

Luo Xia didn't arrange for anyone to pick them up; instead, he rented a car and took Luo Hongguo and the others to the place where his aunt Luo Hongqin and her family lived.

……

Inside a residential community.

Rorschach stepped forward and rang the doorbell at the door of a villa.

Ding dong, ding dong!

The doorbell rang repeatedly, but there was no response.

Just as Rorschach was about to use his telekinesis to investigate, a neighbor heard the noise and came over to say:

"Don't ring the doorbell, no one's home. Their old lady is in the hospital, and their son and daughter-in-law have gone to the hospital to take care of her."

"Oh, I see." Luo Xia nodded, scanning the villa with his mental energy. There was indeed no one there. He asked the neighbor, "Excuse me, sir, do you know which hospital it is?"

"Who are you to Old Tang?"

The old neighbor looked at Luo Xia and his group, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked a question.

Luo Hongguo stepped forward and said, "Uncle, hello, my name is Luo Hongguo. The old lady you mentioned should be my aunt. We are related to her family."

"Luo Hongguo?"

The old man murmured the name, feeling a vague familiarity with it; he seemed to recall hearing it before when chatting with Tang Cheng. He lowered his guard and said, "Oh, it's a relative. Old Tang and his colleagues are at the First People's Hospital."

"Thank you, Uncle."

Luo Hongguo expressed his gratitude.

The family then drove to the First People's Hospital.

Inside the car, Luo Hongguo remarked with some emotion, "My aunt's family lives quite well; they live in villas, much better than our family used to."

Before Luo Xia started junior high school, his family lived in a low-rent apartment.

It wasn't until he started making money online that his family moved out and their lives improved.

Luo Hua was driving. Luo Xia, recalling the information Liu Yan had sent, smiled and said:

"My great-aunt's grandchildren were very smart when they were young, with excellent academic performance. They entered Kyoto University at the age of 15 and are now working at a key national research institute. The villa belonging to my great-aunt was allocated by the institute."

Upon hearing this, Gong Xinlan couldn't help but smile and say, "So clever! Just like you!"

Luo Hongguo nodded with a hint of pride.

All of their children are smart, which proves that the Luo family's genes are exceptionally good!

The family chatted and laughed as they arrived at the First People's Hospital.

"Hello doctor, may I ask which ward Ms. Luo Hongqin is in?" Luo Xia asked a nurse in the inpatient department.

The nurse glanced at Luo Xia, then at Luo Hongguo and the others standing behind him, and asked hesitantly, "Who are you...?"

She felt that the man in front of her looked somewhat familiar.

This face looks familiar...

"We are Ms. Luo Hongqin's relatives. My name is Luo Xia," Luo Xia said with a smile.

Upon hearing the name, the nurse didn't immediately understand. She simply nodded, searched on the computer, and then told Luo Xia the ward where her great-aunt Luo Hongqin was located.

After Luo Xia and his family left, the nurse belatedly realized what had happened and suddenly stood up, exclaiming, "Oh! That...that guy just now, wasn't that Inspector Luo?!"

The inauguration ceremonies of Luo Xia and Luo Feng were broadcast live worldwide.

While the nurse was still in surprise, Luo Xia and Luo Hongguo had already arrived outside the door of a VIP ward.

In the ward, an elderly woman with gray hair was lying on the hospital bed, her face pale and bloodless.

A middle-aged couple was sleeping on the sofa next to the hospital bed.

A young couple was sitting by the bed, talking to the old lady.

Suddenly, they noticed Luo Xia and his group arriving at the door. The young man stood up in confusion and asked them, "Who are you?"

Luo Hongguo had already entered the ward by then. He looked at the old lady on the bed, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

The old woman first looked at Luo Hongguo with slight doubt, then her expression changed, and she said in a rather excited tone, "You, you are...."

The noise woke up the middle-aged couple who were sleeping on the sofa.

Seeing that the old lady was somewhat agitated, the woman leaned closer and asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong?"

The middle-aged man looked at Luo Hongguo warily and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's me, Luo Hongguo!" Luo Hongguo looked at the middle-aged man excitedly. "You must be Tang Cheng, right? Do you remember me?"

"Luo Hongguo..." the middle-aged man murmured the name, his furrowed brows suddenly relaxing as he looked at Luo Hongguo with surprise, "You're cousin Hongguo?!"

The old woman, who had been lying in bed, struggled to sit up excitedly and looked at Luo Hongguo with reddened eyes, asking, "Is it really... Hongguo?"

"It's me, Auntie!" Luo Hongguo's eyes also reddened. He stepped forward and squatted down in front of the bed so that the old lady could see his face clearly.

"It really is Hong Guo, you look almost exactly like your father."

The old woman excitedly reached out her thin, dry hand and grabbed Luo Hongguo, saying, "I never thought I would see you before I die."

"It really is my cousin! My God, more than forty years have passed!" The middle-aged man, Tang Cheng, was also excited and full of emotion.

The old lady looked at Luo Hongguo, her eyes crinkling with laughter. "When you came in just now, I thought I was dreaming because you look so much like your father. Hongguo, where are your dad and mom?"

Luo Hongguo shook his head.

Seeing this, the old lady sighed.

Luo Hongguo then waved to Luo Xia and the others behind him, "Ahua, Xia, come here quickly."

When Luo Xia and Luo Hua arrived.

Luo Hongguo introduced to the old lady, "Auntie, these are my two children, they are twins. I also have an older son, but he is currently on a mission and is not at home, so I didn't bring him along."

The old lady looked at Luo Hongguo with emotion, "Hongguo, in my memory you were just a little kid. I never imagined you would be a father of three sons when I saw you again. That's wonderful."

As she spoke, she beckoned to Luo Xia and Luo Hua, "Come here, let me see. They really are twins, they look so alike. But Hua looks a bit more frail, while Xia is much stronger."

Luo Xia smiled slightly.

He's a planetary-level martial artist now, how could he not be strong?

The old lady then beckoned to the young couple next to her, "Yongqing, Yongyuan, you two come over and get to know Ahua and the others. What a coincidence, you're both twins!"

Bang!

Just then, the door to the ward was suddenly kicked open.

Luo Hongguo and the others were all startled.

Immediately afterwards, a young man with a cold gaze walked in, accompanied by two burly men who looked like bodyguards.

Upon seeing these three people, Tang Cheng and the others' expressions changed.

"What are you doing here!" Tang Yongqing, the great-aunt's granddaughter, stepped forward and shouted angrily at the young man.

"I'm just telling you, you have three days left to make your choice!" The young man, his gaze cold, looked at Tang Yongqing. "Yongqing, you should know my temper!"

Tang Yongqing's face turned pale. "You, you get out of here right now! Don't stay here."

Tang Yongyuan, the younger brother standing next to his sister, stepped forward and pointed at the young man angrily, saying, "Wang Xing'an! Don't go too far! My sister and I are also first-level researchers at the research institute, you..."

"Bullshit!"

Before Tang Yongyuan could finish speaking, Wang Xing'an interrupted him, looking at Tang Yongyuan with disdain.

"I don't even consider your research institute a threat, let alone a worthless researcher like you. Kid, don't think I won't lay a hand on you just because your sister's here!"

"Three days! I've given your sister three days. If she doesn't agree after three days, not only your sister, but you, this little brat who's already insulted me three times, I'll deal with you too!"

Tang Yongqing was so angry that she trembled all over and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Tsk..."

Suddenly, a calm voice rang out in the ward, "Second Brother, I can't believe that in this day and age there are still such idiots. What do you mean by three days? Has he been watching too many TV dramas about rich young masters and lost his mind?"

Everyone looked over and saw Luo Xia smiling as he spoke to Luo Hua.

Tang Yongqing and the others were stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Luo Hua glanced at Wang Xing'an and said with a smile, "That's possible..."

Wang Xing'an's face darkened. "You dare to insult me? Boss, second boss, go tear their mouths apart!"

He gave the order to the two burly men behind him.

Immediately, the two burly men who had come with him grinned and approached Luo Xia and Luo Hua.

Seeing the burly man approaching Luo Xia and Luo Hua, Tang Yongqing panicked and rushed to Luo Xia and Luo Hua, shielding them behind her as she spoke:

"Don't interfere. His name is Wang Xing'an, he's from the Wang family of Kyoto City, and he's the newly designated first heir of the family. His mother is also from the Kyoto Military Region..."

"Cousin, should we call you cousin?"

Rorschach's voice remained calm, unchanged despite the approach of the two burly men.

Tang Yongqing and Tang Yongyuan are the same age as Luo Feng.

Therefore, Luo Xia and Luo Hua should both call them cousins.

"Wang Xing'an..." Luo Xia shook his head, walked past Tang Yongqing, and walked towards the two burly men. "How can a guy like that become the first heir of the family? It seems that the Wang family has no one left and is destined to decline in this generation."

hum!

As he finished speaking, an invisible mental force enveloped the two burly men. To everyone's astonishment, the two men, their faces flushed, were lifted into the air by the mental force, filled with shock and anger.

Originally, mental energy could not directly affect the human body.

But that was said to ordinary spiritual practitioners.

For a mentalist like Rorschach, with his immense and highly refined mental power, lifting two strong men would be far too easy.

The two burly men were enveloped by mental energy, like two ants, unable to move or speak.

Wang Xing'an was startled when he saw his bodyguard being lifted up, but he quickly regained his composure and looked at Luo Xia with interest, saying, "So you're a psychic? But... you dare to lay a hand on me?"

"Oh dear, you're the eldest young master of the Wang family, who would dare lay a hand on you?"

"Rorschach said."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xing'an found himself being gripped by an invisible force, and his body was lifted into the air.

He looked at Rorschach in shock and anger.

Luo Xia chuckled and spread his hands, saying, "See, I didn't do anything."

It was just a matter of using mental power.

"Dad, Mom, Aunt, I'm going out to take care of this guy. You can stay in the ward and do whatever you need to do."

Luo Xia turned around and said something, then used his telekinesis to bring Wang Xing'an and his two bodyguards to the hospital corridor.

Behind him, Tang Cheng's family looked at Luo Xia with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

After Luo Xia left the ward, Tang Cheng looked at Luo Hongguo and asked, "Cousin, what about Xia...?"

Luo Hongguo smiled and said, "Don't worry, Xia will handle it."

Luo Hua laughed and said, "That's right. Even if the current patriarch of the Wang family came, let alone the first heir, I could handle him!"
