"I can send you Xiao Jiu's photo, but you must promise not to pass it around," Wei Zhao said. He was now essentially certain that Xiao Jiu was Tu Bawang's long-lost sister, and so he agreed to give him the photo. Still, he found the whole affair rather wondrous—was it not all too coincidental?
"Leader, rest assured, I absolutely won't spread it around. Besides, she's my sister—how could I ever harm her?" Tu Bawang pledged.
"This matter is too sudden. When I get back, I must first talk it over with Xiao Jiu. As for whether she's willing to acknowledge you, that is beyond my power—I will absolutely not force her. So if she is unwilling, I hope you won't press the matter," Wei Zhao cautioned him.
"Don't worry, Leader. We'll take it step by step; we won't force anything," Tu Bawang answered at once.
Wei Zhao left Tu Bawang's room and, still reeling with shock, sought out Yang Qiqi and told her what he had discussed with Tu Bawang. What had happened today was truly astonishing.
Hearing Wei Zhao's account, Yang Qiqi's expression was a sight to behold. She too had never imagined that Xiao Jiu was actually the sister of Tu Bawang of the Loess High Sect. It was rather a lot to take in...
"Then... does that make us relatives of Tu Bawang?" Yang Qiqi asked, somewhat glum. She did not much care for that Tu Bawang fellow's personality.
"There's nothing to be done about it. Fortunately, though Tu Bawang is proud and arrogant, he's no fool, and he doesn't put on airs in front of us. Let him be," Wei Zhao said with a wry smile. "This time, no matter what, I must repair his meridians! That, of course, is a small matter. The key question is: can Xiao Jiu accept this reality?"
"Let me talk with Xiao Jiu. Family is family, after all. Though no one knows why they were separated back then, finding one's family is always a good thing..." Yang Qiqi said.
"Indeed..." Wei Zhao agreed wholeheartedly. For all that he usually seemed indifferent to his own origins and had never shown much concern over growing up without parents, deep down Wei Zhao still longed to see his mother and father. It was a stubbornness that bordered on faith.
Happiest of all was Tu Qingsong. When he received Tu Bawang's report, he knew his deduction had been correct. And now the identities of Wei Zhao and Yang Qiqi spoke for themselves—his daughter, "Xiao Jiu," had become their friend!RS
