Chapter 1684 -1624: Knocking the Mountain to Shake the Tiger (Part 3)

Song Xiaodong grinned and said, “I always feel like I’m embarrassing myself.”

Lin Feng couldn’t help but laugh, and said, “That’s because of the environment. Your father grew up in Dragon Gate, where he was taught by various masters, while you didn’t receive such an education from a young age. Later, you went into the army, so there weren’t many opportunities for you. Besides, things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are just hobbies, not important for the Sect Leader of Dragon Gate.”

Pausing for a moment, Lin Feng continued, “Actually, what’s most important is management ability. Although your father was skilled in management, his wide-ranging interests and lack of ruthlessness ultimately led to the downfall of Dragon Gate.”

“Oh… What about my mother?” Song Xiaodong asked again.

“Your mother…” Lin Feng’s expression suddenly turned peculiar, and he slowly said, “Your mother was an incredibly beautiful woman, like a combination of Chu Xianling and Yang Yushi, and even more beautiful than they are.”

“Wow… I’m suddenly wondering if I’m really their biological child? One’s an absolute hunk, the other’s a stunning beauty, yet I’m just average-looking. Elder Lin, are you sure you’re not mistaken?”

Lin Feng looked at Song Xiaodong and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, “Young Sect Master, you’re joking! Just from your face, I can see their shadows. For instance, your eyebrows are just like your mother’s, and your nose is just like your father’s. There’s no doubt about it.”

Song Xiaodong rolled his eyes and said, “Are you exaggerating your praise for them just because they’re the Sect Leader and his lady?”

Lin Feng shook his head and said, “Absolutely not, I’m being completely accurate, and a bit humble even. As for your appearance…”

Song Xiaodong’s face turned dark, and he said, “Elder Lin, you’re not going to tell me I inherited all their flaws and none of the good traits, are you?”

“Phh…” Lin Feng tried to hold back his laughter, but ultimately couldn’t, laughing as he said, “Well, that’s what I was trying to say.”

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened to charcoal, with a flood of emotions swirling inside, wondering if genetics could be more reliable. Usually, genetic inheritance passes down the good traits from the previous generation, but he seemingly inherited only the flaws. What happened to fairness?

Chapter 1626

Song Xiaodong returned to Chu Xianling and her companions.

The three observed him with puzzled expressions because Song Xiaodong was wearing a somber face, seemingly quite upset.

They had known Song Xiaodong for a long time and had never seen him like this, as if no matter what happened, it had never bothered him this much before.

Zhao Ruonan stared at Song Xiaodong, suddenly smiling, and said, “Hey, did one of your wives cheat on you?”

“What did you say?” Song Xiaodong was still mulling over Lin Feng’s words and didn’t quite catch what Zhao Ruonan said.

Zhao Ruonan smiled even more as she said, “You have so many wives, you surely can’t take care of them all. If one feels neglected and cheats on you, well, it’s only natural.”

This time, Song Xiaodong understood, and his face grew darker. He said, “Zhao Ruonan, we are friends, after all. Is it really appropriate for you to talk like that?”

Zhao Ruonan rolled her eyes and said, “If that’s not the case, then why the long face?”

Chu Xianling immediately said, “Ruonan, don’t say such hurtful things.”

Zhao Ruonan pouted and said, “You’re really showing your bias now, siding with him already. Really putting romance over friendship, huh?”

Chu Xianling blushed, but faced it calmly. After hugging Song Xiaodong yesterday, she had already seen herself as his girlfriend.

Looking gently at Song Xiaodong, she said, “Xiaodong, did you encounter some difficulty?”

Song Xiaodong shook his head lightly and asked, “Does anyone here understand genetics?”

Yang Yushi replied, “I know a bit.” She was indeed a genius with an IQ over 200 and had a broad range of knowledge.

Song Xiaodong hesitated and asked, “Could a child inherit a parent’s flaws without inheriting their strengths?”

Yang Yushi immediately said, “In genetics, that’s not impossible. But what’s more likely is that a person inherits some good traits, but the combination of these traits doesn’t work well together, which might make it seem like they only inherited flaws.”

“Is there really such a thing?” Song Xiaodong’s eyes widened.

Yang Yushi nodded, then looked over Song Xiaodong, saying, “For instance, you have a high, prominent nose. Judging by the nose alone, it’s a great feature; lots of people want plastic surgery for a nose like yours.”

Zhao Ruonan added, “Yeah, this guy’s eyes and eyebrows, when looked at separately, have a certain charm too, seemingly quite nice.”

“And the mouth is well-shaped too!” Chu Xianling nodded in agreement.

Zhao Ruonan then dealt a blow, saying, “Individually, your facial features are quite fine, but together on your face, they make you appear ordinary, lacking any standout features.”

Song Xiaodong’s face immediately darkened, and he said, “Alright, I know I’m just average-looking, I’m well aware of that.”

Yang Yushi curiously asked, “Xiaodong, are you asking because you met your parents?”
