"Who are you?"

Yu Xiaogang slowly rose to his feet, a few traces of confusion and panic showing in his eyes.

The man in gray remained calm and got 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 contracted almost instantly.

He stared fixedly at the man before him, both hands gripping the desk so tightly that his fingers had turned pale.

"You... you are Hao Tian."

Tang Hao waved a hand, stopping Yu Xiaogang from continuing.

His expression was somewhat cold.

"There's no need to bring up the past."

Yu Xiaogang gradually calmed down. His stiff face trembled slightly.

"Looks like I guessed correctly. You really are Xiao San's father!"

"He's already gone home. Why are you here?"

Tang Hao nodded, his expression still calm.

"It's precisely because he went home that I'm here."

"I'm leaving, and he's the only thing I'm worried about."

"So, I hope to entrust Xiao San to you."

Ding! A famous scene has been detected: Tang Hao secretly meets Yu Xiaogang! Chosen Encounter triggered! Encounter Entry: Yu Xiaogang's expression changed: You're going to abandon Xiao San? He's your son! The host may choose to modify the entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of this famous scene. Successfully influencing it will grant the following reward: 500 System Essence!

At that moment, the system's voice suddenly rang out in Ye Xian's mind as he cultivated in his dormitory.

Since he was not far from Yu Xiaogang, he was still within the range for the encounter to trigger.

It seemed Tang San's biological father, Tang Hao, and his godfather, Yu Xiaogang, were having a stage of their meeting.

In that case, he might as well add a little fun to it.

Such an overly formal meeting was really rather boring.

With a thought, Ye Xian immediately issued an order to the system in his mind.

"Change 'you' to 'I.'"

Inside Yu Xiaogang's room, he became slightly agitated after hearing Tang Hao's words.

He glared fiercely at Tang Hao, his gaze somewhat sharp.

"You're leaving and abandoning Xiao San?"

"Where are you going? He's my son!"

The moment those words came out, both of them were dumbfounded.

Yu Xiaogang instantly broke out in a cold sweat. That was not what he had meant!

How had his tongue slipped the moment he spoke?!

However, by the time he realized it, it was already too late.

Yu Xiaogang merely glanced over and discovered that Tang Hao's face had already turned cold.

The next second, a terrifying pressure descended instantly.

It made Yu Xiaogang struggle to breathe.

Tang Hao stepped forward and grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar.

"I know Xiao San acknowledged you as his godfather."

"But I am his biological father!"

"I respect you enough to call you Great Master, but it seems you don't know what's good for you!"

Yu Xiaogang hurriedly waved his hands.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!!"

"I can tell that Xiao San is very attached to you. Don't you think leaving like this would be too cruel to him?"

However, Tang Hao's fist had already swung over in the next second.

Encounter modification successful! Congratulations, host! You have obtained: System Essence ×500!

At that moment, Ye Xian received feedback from the system.

The altered scene could be displayed in his mind.

Seeing Tang San's biological father fighting his godfather nearly made him laugh himself silly.

In just a few breaths, Yu Xiaogang had been beaten black and blue.

Tang Hao had not even used a trace of Soul Power. Otherwise, Yu Xiaogang would have died on the spot.

Looking at Yu Xiaogang lying on the ground, Tang Hao's expression finally softened somewhat.

"I don't object to Xiao San taking you as his godfather."

"But I hope you remember that, no matter when, he is my biological son!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded repeatedly, not daring to show even the slightest dissatisfaction.

Running into Tang Hao today and merely getting beaten up was truly a stroke of luck.

Clang—!

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Hao waved his hand.

A pitch-black token landed on the table in front of Yu Xiaogang.

The token was exactly like the one Yu Xiaogang had shown when he brought Tang San into the Soul Hunting Forest.

However, this token bore a total of six emblems.

Bang—!

The door shut, and Tang Hao had already vanished.

Yu Xiaogang stood there facing the door for a long while without moving.

Only after a long time did he slowly struggle to climb up from the ground.

His gaze fell upon the token, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his lips. No one knew what he was thinking.

Five years later. (The middle part was boring, so let's skip straight to Shrek Academy.)

Suotuo City, Balak Kingdom.

A group of three entered through the city gates.

The person at the front was Ye Xian.

The weather was scorching. Tang San stood behind him with a smile, holding up a parasol to shade him.

During six years at Notting Academy, Ye Xian had not only become the boss of the entire academy.

He had also been hailed as a genius seen only once in a century.

A few days ago, Ye Xian's Soul Power Level had broken through to Level 40 in one go.

When Yu Xiaogang learned of it, he was utterly disheartened.

He knew his judgment of people had not been wrong.

Unfortunately, Ye Xian simply refused to acknowledge him as his master.

Yu Xiaogang could only quietly console himself in his heart.

Since Ye Xian was a genius, then Tang San was surely a genius as well.

It was simply that his talent had yet to reveal itself.

As the boss who had once saved him, Tang San naturally treated him with great respect.

Unfortunately, he did not know that a large part of the reason his Soul Power was only at Level 22 was thanks to Ye Xian.

Even Xiao Wu beside him had a higher Soul Power Level than he did.

Although he did not quite understand why his godfather insisted on making him come to this Shrek Academy, which did not even have a ranking.

Since his godfather was so insistent, there had to be a reason for it.

Ever since obtaining his second hundred-year Ghost Vine soul ring, Tang San had become utterly obedient to Yu Xiaogang.

If Yu Xiaogang told him to go west, he would never go east.

Still, Tang San was somewhat surprised that Ye Xian had also chosen to come to this Shrek Academy.

After all, with the latter's Soul Power and talent.

He was fully qualified to receive invitations from those famous academies.

This was entirely Ye Xian's helpless choice.

If he did not go to Shrek, how was he supposed to trigger encounters?

It was just that he had originally only planned to mess with Tang San, but soon it would become the Shrek Seven Devils.

The three of them had traveled a long way and were truly exhausted from the journey.

When Tang San spotted a hotel with a particularly unique appearance, he suddenly stopped.

The hotel was not very large, only three stories tall.

What caught the eye was that the entire hotel was styled like a rose, making it instantly refreshing to look at.

"Boss, how about we stay here and rest for the night?"

Ye Xian looked up, and his eyes immediately lit up.

Wasn't this the famous Rose Hotel?

Thinking of this, he immediately nodded.

"Sure."

Tang San then smiled and nodded at Ye Xian before hurrying inside first to book rooms.

The hotel lobby was filled with the rich fragrance of roses, refreshing the senses.

Tang San walked up to the counter.

"Hello, please book two rooms for me."
