"Who are you?"
Slowly standing up, Yu Xiaogang's eyes revealed a hint of confusion and panic.
The gray-clad man remained calm, getting straight to the point without hesitation,
"My name is Tang Hao. We met twenty years ago."
"Tang Hao?"
Yu Xiaogang's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracting almost instantly.
He stared intently at the man before him, his hands gripping the table, his fingers turning bluish-white.
"You, you are Haotian."
Tang Hao waved his hand, stopping Yu Xiaogang from continuing.
His expression was somewhat cold,
"There's no need to mention the past."
Yu Xiaogang's emotions gradually calmed down, his stiff face trembling slightly,
"It seems I guessed right, you really are Xiao San's father!"
"He's already home, why are you here?"
Tang Hao nodded, his expression still calm,
"It's precisely because he's home that I'm here."
"I'm leaving, and he's the only one I care about."
"Therefore, I hope to entrust Xiao San to you."
[Ding!] [Detected: Tang Hao's secret meeting with Yu Xiaogang, a famous scene!]
[Chosen Encounter Triggered!]
[Encounter Entry: Yu Xiaogang's expression changes: You're going to abandon your mistress? He's your son!]
[The host can choose to modify the entry, thus affecting the original outcome of the famous scene.]
[Successful intervention will grant a reward: 500 System Essence!]
Just then, Ye Xian, who was cultivating in his dormitory, suddenly heard the system's voice in his mind.
Because he wasn't far from Yu Xiaogang, he was still within the range of the triggered encounter.
It seemed that Tang San's biological father, Tang Hao, and his godfather, Yu Xiaogang, had reached a stage of their meeting.
In that case, let's add a little fun.
An overly formal meeting is rather uninteresting.
With a thought, Ye Xian immediately gave the system a command in his mind,
"Change 'you' to 'I'."
Inside Yu Xiaogang's room, he was slightly agitated after hearing Tang Hao's words.
He stared intently at Tang Hao, his eyes slightly sharp.
"You're leaving, abandoning your mistress?"
"Where are you going? He's my son!"
Both men were stunned.
Yu Xiaogang instantly broke out in a cold sweat; that wasn't what he meant.
How could he have slipped up so easily!
However, by the time he realized it, it was too late.
Yu Xiaogang glanced at Tang Hao and saw his face turn cold.
The next second, a terrifying pressure descended,
making it hard for Yu Xiaogang to breathe.
Tang Hao stepped forward, grabbing Yu Xiaogang's collar tightly.
"I know your mistress has recognized you as her godfather."
"But I am her biological father!"
"I respectfully call you Master, but you seem to be ungrateful!"
Yu Xiaogang hurriedly waved his hands,
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!!"
"I can see that your mistress is very attached to you. Don't you think leaving like this is too cruel for him?"
The next second, Tang Hao's fist was already swinging down.
[Adventure successfully modified!]
[Congratulations to the host for obtaining: System Essence * 500!] Just
then, Ye Xian received feedback from the system.
The modified plot scene appeared in his mind.
Watching Tang San's biological father battle his godfather almost made him burst out laughing.
In just a few breaths, Yu Xiaogang was beaten black and blue.
This was only because Tang Hao hadn't used a single ounce of his soul power; otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would have been dead.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground, Tang Hao's expression softened somewhat
. "I don't object to Xiao San voluntarily recognizing you as his godfather."
"But I hope you remember, no matter what, he will always be my biological son!"
Yu Xiaogang nodded repeatedly, not daring to show the slightest dissatisfaction.
He was incredibly lucky to have only been beaten up by Tang Hao today.
"Bang—~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao waved his hand.
A jet-black token landed on the table in front of Yu Xiaogang.
The token was identical to the one Yu Xiaogang had shown when he brought Tang San into the Soul Hunter Forest.
However, this token had six patterns on it.
"Bang—~!"
The door slammed shut, and Tang Hao's figure vanished.
Staring at the door, Yu Xiaogang stood there for a long time without moving.
After a long while, he slowly struggled to his feet.
His gaze fell on the token, a bitter smile appearing on his lips, lost in thought.
Five years later. (The middle part is boring, skipping directly to Shrek Academy.)
Barak Kingdom, Soto City.
A group of three walked in through the city gate.
The one in the lead was Ye Xian.
The weather was hot, and Tang San, standing behind him, smiled as he held a parasol for him.
In his six years at Notting Academy, Ye Xian not only became the top student in the entire academy
but was also hailed as a once-in-a-century genius.
A few days ago, Ye Xian's soul power broke through to level forty.
Yu Xiaogang was utterly disheartened upon learning this.
He knew his judgment of talent was correct.
Unfortunately, Ye Xian refused to become his disciple.
Yu Xiaogang could only silently console himself.
Since Ye Xian was a genius, Tang San must also be a genius; he
just hadn't yet shown his talent.
As the former leader who had saved him, Tang San was naturally very respectful.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that his current level twenty-two soul power was
largely due to Ye Xian.
Even Xiao Wu, who was beside him, had a higher soul power level than him.
Although he didn't quite understand why his godfather insisted on sending him to Shrek Academy, which didn't even have a ranking
, there must be a reason for his insistence.
Since acquiring his second hundred-year-old Ghost Vine soul ring, Tang San had become completely obedient to Yu Xiaogang.
If he was told to go west, he would never go east.
Tang San was somewhat surprised that Ye Xian had also chosen to come to Shrek Academy.
After all, with Ye Xian's soul power and talent,
he was fully qualified to be invited to those famous academies.
This was entirely Ye Xian's helpless move.
How could he trigger a fortuitous encounter if he didn't go to Shrek?
Originally, he was only messing with Tang San, but now he would soon be part of the Shrek Seven Devils.
The three of them had traveled such a long distance, and were truly exhausted.
When they saw a very uniquely designed hotel, Tang San suddenly stopped.
The hotel wasn't very large, only three stories high.
What was striking was that the entire hotel's style resembled a rose, making it a sight to behold.
"Boss, why don't we stay here and rest today?"
Ye Xian looked up and his eyes lit up.
Wasn't this the famous Rose Hotel?
Thinking of this, he immediately nodded,
"Okay."
Then Tang San smiled and nodded to Ye Xian, and hurriedly ran inside to check in.
The hotel lobby was filled with the intoxicating fragrance of roses, which was very pleasant.
Tang San walked to the counter.
"Hello, please book two rooms for me."
