"I'll start first." Leafy lady said." Linming, raise your hand."
Shen Linming did as told.
"Good, now here is a seed."
"Now make it grow. The plants will naturally react to you, as you are my blood, after all."
"What? How?" Shen Linming asked her with a confused look.
"You'll feel it." She replied.
"I don't get it."
"Focus on the seed. Imagine it growing into a plant. Do you feel a tingling sensation in your hand?"
"!!!" He did not expect that the tingling feeling in his hand that he could feel as far as he could remember meant that he could do cool magic stuff like this.
As if reading his mind, leafy lady said, "This does not mean that what you are doing now is some magic trick. What you are doing is just merely using your spiritual energy. Normal people all have it, but the amount of spiritual energy is so negligible that they can't feel it rushing through their body. If people cultivate their spiritual energy to a certain point, they will also be able to feel it. You were born already past that stage, so you of course will be able to feel it consciously rushing through your body."
Hearing that, all five of them suddenly understood why they always had this tingly, warm feeling rushing through their body.
Just as leafy lady was talking. The seed on Shen Linming's palm grew into a plant.
"Ok. Your turn is over. Me next." Cloud guy said.
"Now, Ye Ningchuan , summon a gust of wind. Then, use the wind to push a cloud down. The winds and clouds only obey me or my blood. Should be easy enough, now you understand what you need to do. Using spiritual energy requires a lot of visualisation and concentration."
"… um. Fine…?"
He visualised a gust of wind blowing towards him.
A gust of wind actually started blowing gently on his face.
Then, he tried to visualise the wind blowing the clouds down to the ground in front of him.
Much to his surprise, the wind also blew the clouds to him.
"Huff! That's nice and all, but isn't it getting a little boring? I'm bored. Now it's my turn." Dragon guy started to get impatient.
"Mine is easy. It doesn't require you to do any unnecessary things to prove yourself. Arms up."
Li Ning did what he told her to do.
He cut his finger, and dripped it onto her arm.
She curiously looked at what he was doing.
To her astonishment, her body started glowing. Scale like marks began to appear on her body.
"Wha-" She looked at her arms in utter shock.
"My blood. When dripped on someone with a blood relation with me, their dragon marks will appear. The closer the blood relation, the brighter the mark will appear. This is the brightest it has appeared."
Fwoom! Redhead lady shot a fireball at Gu Tiantian.
Caught off guard, she tried to block the fireball. She raised her hand in front of her to block the fireball.
She felt a warm surge of energy flow through her.
She closed her eyes in fear. And as she prepared to feel the heat and pain, nothing came towards her.
She nervously opened her eyes. The fireball was stopped mid-air.
Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and lowered her hand. Suddenly, the fireball moves along with her hand movement.
She jumped in shock. "??? What just happened??"
The Redhead lady grinned. "Ha! This means that you are manipulating the fire ball! Only me or my descendants can control fire! Is that enough proof?"
"Hehehe. Not yet. Now it's the finale." Earth guy chuckled.
Before anyone could react, he quickly made a small cut on Chi Lan's finger.
Her blood dripped from her finger to the ground
"Owww! What was that for-"
Before Chi Lan could finish her complain, huge walls of stone rose before her.
Everyone looked at the stone walls, astonished. "Those who share the same blood as me will always be like this. The moment our blood drips on to the earth. The earth will instantly rise and create a protective barrier around the person. The earth can also heal our wounds, just like how water, air, nature, or fire can heal you guys. Chi Lan, just smudge your finger on the ground and smear the dirt on your wound. Then lower the barrier. It's easy."
Hearing that, Chi Lan followed his instructions and managed to lower the barrier.
"Well, now that we've given you proof that we are your parents, can you finally acknowledge us?"
"Hmmm… nah. We'll see. After all, you were gone from our lives for 20 years. Also , we're not the ones who get to decide. Talk with our parents." Li Ning replied
"… fine. Where do you want to meet?"
"Meet us later at 6 pm at X&Y restaurant. The address is ..." Chi Lan suggested
"Sigh… thanks to them, now we gotta find a way to break the news to them…what a headache…oh well. I'll find a way…" Li Ning said glumly.
Later at Shen Liming's home.
The five of them had decided to call their parents to gather at Shen Liming's house. They thought that it would be easier to break the news together.
Somehow, there was not a single post on social media about the incident that happened in the morning.
Their parents arrived soon. They sat on the sofa opposite their children.
"Um… mom…"
"Um…dad…"
"We…have something to tell you guys…" They said tentatively, watching their parents expressions.
"Um… just now, we met a bunch of people who claimed to be our parents. Um, they had solid proof that they were our parents. We are meeting today for dinner at X&Y restaurant. We wanted to bring you along."
After they made that statement, they watched their parents' reaction with bated breaths.
