Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339

"Meng Ting has never seen her mother since she was a child, and now she’s become your fiancée."

Liu Gaoze rolled his eyes at Tang Ming and said with a sigh, "Actually, I’ve met your master Tang Cha once, and that meeting was when your marriage contract with Meng Ting was established."

"Uncle Liu, stop keeping us in suspense. What’s really going on? Hurry up and explain clearly!"

Tang Ming scratched his head in frustration. He had been investigating his own origins, never imagining that the mystery of his background would be tied up with a marriage contract.

No wonder the old guy said that as long as he fulfilled the marriage contract, he might be able to find out the mystery of his origins. It turns out there’s so much hidden behind it.

"Actually, I can’t say for sure, I just know that when Tang Cha came to see me back then, he had me look at the soles of your feet, then he asked about Meng Ting’s butt, and after that, the marriage was established."

Liu Gaoze began to recount.

"What is all this about?"

Tang Ming looked bewildered, "What’s the deal with my feet and Meng Ting’s butt?"

"When Ru Meng entrusted Meng Ting to me back then, she told me that if anyone came someday with a boy whose soles had a black pentagram, that person would be the husband she found for Meng Ting."

Liu Gaoze narrated seriously, but then he laughed awkwardly, "I know it sounds ridiculous, but it’s true."

"A black star on the soles of the feet?"

Tang Ming’s expression turned serious, because he indeed had black stars on the soles of his feet, and both feet, no less.

Back then, Tang Cha said the black stars were due to his cultivation of Poison Skill, with toxins coalescing into them. It seems like the master lied to him, but why?

If the master lied, then the baby mentioned by the orphanage director should be him. But according to the director’s description, the man who placed him in the orphanage and then took him away wasn’t Tang Cha, so how did he end up picked by Tang Cha?

Also, Tang Cha clearly knew about his origins, so why didn’t he just tell him?

A load of questions arose at the same time, making Tang Ming feel dizzy and overwhelmed.

"Yes, the black star."

Liu Gaoze nodded, then glanced at Tang Ming’s feet, "By the way, since you arrived, I haven’t verified if you’re really that child from back then."

"No need to look, I’m Tang Ming. I indeed have stars on my soles."

Tang Ming hurriedly waved it off, looking at Liu Gaoze with curiosity, "My soles have stars, so does Liu Mengting’s butt have something too?"

"Haha, that’s for you to find out yourself in the future."

Liu Gaoze chuckled mischievously, "Maybe when you discover what’s on Meng Ting’s body, you’ll understand your own origins."

"Can’t you just tell me directly? How am I supposed to look at a girl’s butt?"

Tang Ming anxiously scratched his ears.

"Once you’re married, you can look all you want."

Liu Gaoze shrugged with a smile.

Tang Ming’s mouth twitched as he slowly sat down, looking at Liu Gaoze with dissatisfaction, "If what you’re saying is true, then how did this marriage document come about? I remember the document mentioned your name and Tang Cha’s, nothing to do with my parents or Meng Ting’s mother."

"Have you ever studied the names of the witnesses carefully?"

Liu Gaoze sighed, opened a brocade box, took out the marriage certificate, and handed it to Tang Ming.

"I haven’t really studied it."

Tang Ming pouted, opening the certificate and staring at the place between the two families, where indeed some ancient small characters were written.

Liu Gaoze lifted his teacup, drinking and gesturing.

Tang Ming cleared his throat, not recognizing the ancient script!

"Is it Yang Dingtian?"

Tang Ming jokingly babbled.

Liu Gaoze spat out the water in his mouth, "Even if you don’t recognize words, surely you can count, right? There are four characters."

"Oh, oh, oh, then it must be Dongfang Bubai!"

Tang Ming seriously chanted.

Liu Gaoze couldn’t take it anymore and explained, "These four characters are read as Chen Xing Yue Luo."

"Really? The witness’s last name is Chen, or is it Chen Xing as a compound surname?"

Tang Ming became puzzled.

"Neither. Chen Xing Yue Luo is the code name for Meng Ting’s mother’s family and your father’s family. Chen Xing represents your father’s family, Yue Luo represents Meng Ting’s mother’s family."

Liu Gaoze set down the tea cup and introduced solemnly, "I had a marriage document back then, which only had Meng Ting’s birthdate and the ’Chen Xing Yue Luo’ mark."

"What about the other writing on it?"

Tang Ming questioned in surprise.

"Added later. When Tang Cha came to see me, he also had a marriage document with only your birthdate and ’Chen Xing Yue Luo’. When we combined the two documents, it became the current version."

Liu Gaoze patiently explained.

"Uncle Liu, are you sure the birthdate on this is mine?"

Tang Ming’s expression turned odd, "My master never mentioned this birthdate being mine. I even asked him, and he said it was just randomly written, otherwise the birthdate itself was too extraordinary."

"Did he really tell you this?"

Liu Gaoze became puzzled, "Meng Ting was born in a yin year, yin month, yin hour, a pure yin girl. You were born in a yang year, yang month, yang hour, a Pure Yang Son. This is why you can come together. Why did Tang Cha lie?"

Tang Ming’s mouth dropped open, eyes wide, "Are you saying the birthdate on this paper is true?"

"Of course, it’s true! Whether yours is or not, I wouldn’t mess up my daughter’s birthdate."

Liu Gaoze nodded with certainty.

Tang Ming couldn’t help but swear. The truth was a bit much to handle. Pure Yin girl and Pure Yang Son matching up, what an overwhelming coincidence!

"Hold on, this witness location is ’Chen Xing Yue Luo,’ so where am I supposed to find witnesses to dissolve the marriage contract?"

Tang Ming snapped out of shock and looked at Liu Gaoze in confusion.

"That’s why you should understand why I don’t want you and Meng Ting to dissolve the contract, because this is a marriage contract set by Meng Ting’s mother and your biological parents, and only they can agree to dissolve it."

Liu Gaoze shrugged helplessly, "If you want to find your parents, you can Ask Tang Cha, but if you want to find Meng Ting’s mother... I still don’t know how to find her."

"Master surely knows my origins."

Hearing this, Tang Ming couldn’t help but complain.

He had asked Tang Cha about his origins before, but Tang Cha had refused to reveal anything, setting up such a confusing maze.

"I don’t know about that, but your marriage contract with Meng Ting is your only chance to meet your parents and my chance to see Meng Ting’s mother. Do you really want to dissolve it?"

Liu Gaoze narrowed his eyes, looking at Tang Ming cunningly.
