Chapter 397: Chapter 393: Little Hua’s Secret (Part 2)

"Not bad," He Ziyun continued, "Among the five children who participated in the experiment, only Little Hua survived. The other four lost their lives due to various reasons. Given the urgency of the situation at the time, I had no time to delve deeper into the experiment; I could only take Little Hua and escape from the base first. Later, I took Little Hua to the headquarters of the Ghosts. To conceal her identity and avoid the curious eyes of others, I publicly declared her as my disciple."

"In the years following that event, we never gave up on the search for the God Organization, relentlessly pursuing them until, five years later, we received news of the mysterious leader’s serious illness and subsequent death. With his demise, the remnants of the God Organization’s influence splintered immediately. Having worn myself out after all these years and having Little Hua by my side, I let Qiao Zhen take over my position to continue the legacy of the Ghosts. After leaving the Ghosts, I brought Little Hua here to East Sea City alone and opened this Martial Arts Academy, hoping to settle down. However, as the old saying goes, ’If you don’t remove the roots when cutting grass, the spring breeze will bring it back to life.’ I never expected that after so many years, the God Organization would rise from the ashes again."

After listening to He Ziyun’s story, Ling Chen exhaled deeply, digesting the shock in his heart.

"Mr. He, so that means Little Hua’s age..."

He Ziyun chuckled, "Don’t be fooled by her child-like appearance; she’s actually in her twenties, both mentally and by age."

So that was it!

Ling Chen suddenly realized why the little girl was so cunning and full of tricky ideas—it was because she had the mind of an adult.

To think that he had been so deceived by Little Hua’s adorable exterior for so long.

Hu Fei couldn’t help but ask, "If she’s in her twenties, why hasn’t her body grown at all? Could it be a congenital form of dwarfism?"

"No," He Ziyun shook his head. "I have had her examined, and her body is very healthy, not at all like the dwarfism you’re talking about. More importantly, the cells in Little Hua’s body continue to remain active. Even though her age keeps increasing, her cells have not shown any signs of change. In a regular person, cells would age over time, but this phenomenon hasn’t occurred with Little Hua. Therefore, I believe it has something to do with the original experiment."

Ling Chen didn’t quite grasp the profound bio-technological aspects, but felt it was very complex. Just like He Ziyun had said, Little Hua’s current condition was indeed likely linked to that past experiment.

"Mr. He, if it’s all from several decades ago, why won’t the God Organization let go?"

"Although the previous leader of the God Organization passed away, there must be others who are aware. There were five children involved in the experiment, and I only took Little Hua. After the secret base was destroyed, they would have certainly searched the scene and found the bodies of the other four children. Not finding the fifth child’s corpse would have naturally led them to suspect us. If that experiment was vital to them, they would spare no effort to seek out Little Hua and me. Recently, Zhu Hong was sent to East Sea City, presumably for our sake."

Ling Chen furrowed his brow slightly, "If that’s the case, the God Organization probably won’t give up easily."

"There’s no need to worry too much right now," He Ziyun said. "Their repeated actions have all ended in failure. As long as they know I’m guarding Little Hua, they wouldn’t dare to act rashly unless they’re confident that they can deal with me."

"Mr. He, though you say that, you still need to be careful. The enhanced drugs developed by the God Organization are very powerful. I’ve experienced them a few times myself, and..."

He Ziyun cut Ling Chen off with a smile, waving his hand, "You worry too much. No matter how powerful the enhancement drugs are, they’re ultimately just a means of forcibly tapping into human potential through biotechnology. In the eyes of us Martial Artists, such methods are not advisable. The unlocking of potential must be approached scientifically and progressively, not overnight. Otherwise, the more often enhancement drugs are used, the greater the harm to the body. When I clashed with the God Organization back then, they had already developed enhancement drugs. To my knowledge, anyone who has taken enhancement drugs doesn’t live past thirty. Despite improvements to the drugs by the God Organization over the years, reducing side effects, the harm to the human body cannot be ignored. Therefore, in the eyes of people like us, enhancement drugs are not worth mentioning, an underhanded tactic."

With that said, He Ziyun changed the subject and continued, "Ling Chen, I know you’re busy, but don’t neglect your Martial Arts studies for that. Martial Arts Training requires perseverance and must not be taken lightly. At your young age, it’s commendable that you’ve reached the Tiger List, but don’t become complacent. In the vast land of Huaxia, there are countless hidden dragons and crouching tigers; the Heaven and Earth Dragon and Tiger Four Rankings do not represent all Martial Artists. On the contrary, the most formidable existences are those you cannot see. Remember, each era has its own prodigies that shine for a few hundred years. Among the current younger generation, there are certainly more than one leading figure apart from you. With your current status, you will definitely have more opportunities to engage with this world. Before that, you must be prepared."

Ling Chen took He Ziyun’s earnest advice to heart, knowing that there must be a reason for such caution.

"Mr. He, don’t worry, I will work hard."

He Ziyun nodded with satisfaction, "Now that you know about Little Hua’s identity, I hope you keep it to yourselves. I will ensure her safety, and if anything unexpected happens, I’ll seek your help."

After their chat with He Ziyun, Ling Chen and Hu Fei didn’t stay long. Their main reason for coming was to understand Little Hua’s identity. Now that their curiosity was satisfied, there was no need to linger.

Before leaving, Ling Chen had intended to greet Little Hua, but upon remembering her true age, he immediately abandoned the idea. For the moment, he wasn’t sure how to face Little Hua.

Returning to Wealthy Manor, Ling Chen still had Little Hua on his mind.

"Ling Chen... hey! Ling Chen!"

Hearing the voice next to him, Ling Chen turned his head and saw Su Lin pouting and walking over with a displeased face, saying annoyed, "What are you thinking about? I called you several times without a response. Don’t tell me you’ve been enchanted by another beauty?"

Ling Chen came back to his senses and grinned, "Look at what you’re saying, there’s no one more beautiful than you."

Hearing Ling Chen’s flattery, Su Lin’s heart fluttered with joy, and with a coquettish glance, she said melodically, "Don’t let your girlfriend hear that, or she might get jealous."

"It’s fine; Wanqing isn’t that petty."
