Oh! Elder Brother! Elder Brother!

From the Great Khan's change in demeanor before and after, you can basically confirm it.

This person is most likely your true elder brother who went missing together with your Second Sister when you were eight years old!

Good heavens, the Northern Frontier Great Khan is my elder brother?

How did I suddenly go from being a nobody to having a powerful background?

This backbone of mine, hey, just won't bend anymore, you see!

The Great Khan, however, didn't believe you just because of your one sentence.

He released you, but the oppressive aura radiating from his body still pressed down on you, and his spiritual sense locked onto your every movement, making you not dare to act rashly.

"It's no secret that I come from the Central Plains. The previous Great Khan was unable to bear children. He widely adopted foster sons, trained us, made us compete and kill each other, to select the most outstanding successor. These are not secrets! Anyone with the intention, with a little investigation, could easily learn my origins. Do you think that just by knowing my background, you can impersonate my family and thus escape from my hands?"

The soldiers watching from all around nodded repeatedly.

"The Great Khan speaks reason!"

"Kill this spy!"

"Tear him apart by five horses!"

The customs of the Northern Frontier are fierce and bold.

If you couldn't prove what you said was true, you really would have to end things here today.

But you were brimming with confidence at this moment.

"Some things can be investigated, but there are many other things that only family members know about, Elder Brother!"

Your shouts of "Elder Brother" had no technique, they were all emotion.

The Great Khan thought for a moment.

"My fourth younger brother has a unique double-hole birthmark on his left buttock. If you have one too, then I will believe you."

You touched your own buttocks and looked at the soldiers around you who wore expressions between a smile and a smirk.

"Not, right here?"

"What's there to be embarrassed about? We're all men. I'm afraid you just don't have it and are scared of being exposed on the spot."

You showed a helpless expression.

"What birthmark..."

The Great Khan wore an expression that said, "Just as I expected."

"When I was six years old, you took me up the mountain to gather firewood. We came to a pond. You told me to watch the firewood while you went to relieve yourself. I waited there for a long time, but Elder Brother never came back. Instead, I waited for a snake that bit two bloody holes in my butt, and these two scars have remained ever since. The villagers joked, saying these were my acquired birthmarks. Later, I found out that Elder Brother didn't go to relieve himself that day, but went to the pond to peek at a girl bathing..."

"Ah! Fourth Younger Brother!"

The Great Khan suddenly raised his voice eight degrees, trying to drown out your words.

The Great Khan affectionately pulled you into his embrace, patting your back deeply, patting so hard you coughed and couldn't speak.

"Sixty years without seeing you, Fourth Younger Brother... you've gotten old!"

Although Chen Jing was the elder brother, because his cultivation had reached the Martial King Realm and above, his lifespan was extended, so he still showed no signs of aging, appearing only as a weathered middle-aged man.

But you, after years of running around, exposed to the elements, and even experiencing times of not having enough to eat in the Demon World.

You had long since taken on the appearance of an old man.

Of course, this was you not having the "Ageless Male God" trait equipped. If you equipped it, you'd instantly outshine your elder brother!

To prevent you from spilling any more of your "journey here," Chen Jing quickly took you back to the military tent and forbade anyone from entering.

Just in case, he even threw out a formation to block detection.

At this moment, inside the military tent, there were only you, Chen Jing, and Shen Qingshan.

Shen Qingshan looked at you, finding you familiar.

The moment you opened your mouth, your familiar voice made him remember instantly.

"Third Brother-in-law."

"Fourth Younger Brother! Is it really you?"

"It's me. Are Third Sister and Shen Jia well?"

"They're well, both well. Third Sister is doing fine in the mansion in the capital. Shen Jia hasn't come back for many years. She entered the Myriad Methods Sect to cultivate, so I imagine she doesn't have much time to come home. However, your Third Sister and I had three more children. Their innate talents are all very poor, they can't become martial artists, so they just bring joy to us old folks, and the big family is quite lively. Fourth Younger Brother, what about you? That year you left, it's been fifty years..."

"I went to many places. The Eastern Wastes, the Limitless Sword Sect, the Southern Borderlands, and... uh, let's talk about that later."

And the Shen Family.

Talking about that would get complicated. You were afraid Shen Qingshan wouldn't understand.

Watching you and Shen Qingshan catch up, Chen Jing's eyes still held a trace of doubt.

"Chen Yi, I'll address you as such for now. If I were just an ordinary commoner, I would be willing to believe you are my fourth younger brother now. But unfortunately, I am not. My position does not allow for any mistakes. Therefore, I must confirm your identity!"

You looked at your overly serious elder brother.

"Elder Brother, I also know many of your embarrassing stories, the kind that I guarantee only the two of us know."

"Cough, cough! Those things aren't reliable! What if you're an evil cultivator who extracted my fourth younger brother's memories?"

"That's a bit extreme."

"I want to perform a blood test with you to confirm kinship!"

A blood test to confirm kinship?

Elder Brother, that's not scientific!

But soon you discovered it was actually quite scientific.

The blood test Chen Jing mentioned wasn't just casually getting a bowl of water and then both of you dripping blood into it.

He invited a "witch."

This was a middle-aged woman, dressed in black robes, her body covered in various bone chains, looking quite sinister.

Martial artists cultivate the martial path, while witches cultivate the Witchcraft Dao.

The Witchcraft Dao wasn't unfamiliar to you either; the Shen Family Founding Ancestor's eighteen paths included it.

In the current Five Regions, witches are extremely few, basically concentrated in a small area of the Southern Borderlands.

This witch was probably someone Chen Jing invited from the Southern Borderlands.

A witch's witchcraft can measure feng shui for fortune or misfortune, confuse enemies, or see through illusions. It has some use in marching and warfare, which is why Chen Jing would invite one and keep her in the army.

The witch performed witchcraft on a bowl of water, and the water in the bowl instantly turned red.

"Great Khan, if you and this person are blood relatives, when your blood drips into the bowl, the water will turn clear. If you are not relatives, the water will remain red."

Since it's witchcraft, it shouldn't be mistaken.

Chen Jing drew the dagger from his waist, directly cut his finger, and let a drop of blood fall.

"Your turn."

You were calm and composed, at ease. You drew the Soul-Chasing Sword, directly sliced your palm, and put in a large amount of blood.

All four people present watched the water for changes.

It cleared!

The witch immediately bowed.

"Congratulations, Great Khan, on finding your family!"

Shen Qingshan also revealed a relieved smile.

"Clang..."

The dagger in Chen Jing's hand slipped and fell to the ground.

His steps were even a bit unsteady as he walked a few steps closer to you.

"Fourth Younger Brother?"

"Elder Brother!"

"Fourth Younger Brother!!"

"Elder Brother!!!"

Two rough men embraced and wept.

"My heavens! The Northern Frontier Great Khan is my brother. I, I, I... do I even need to work hard anymore?"

Chen Yi outside the simulation was overjoyed.

But suddenly thinking of something, he couldn't laugh anymore.

"That's fifty years later. Right now, Elder Brother is still being raised like a gu..."

Knowing that Elder Brother was safe and sound and would become the Northern Frontier Great Khan in the future, Chen Yi still felt genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

"Is Second Sister also alive? Is she with Elder Brother?"
