Tang San Knelt and Kowtowed, "Great Master, Please Accept Me as Your Son!"

At this moment, Yu Xiaogang wore a righteous and dignified expression.

He looked down at Tang San in silence, wildly displaying the oppressive aura of a level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster.

He felt that his bearing should be more than enough to attract a child.

Surely Tang San would not refuse such a wonderful opportunity to take him as his teacher.

Sure enough, after a brief hesitation, Tang San suddenly dropped to both knees with a bang.

Then, he kowtowed three times in Yu Xiaogang's direction.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Tang San's three lightning-fast kowtows completely stunned Yu Xiaogang.

What the hell was this?

Was taking a teacher really supposed to be this outrageous?

He had expected Tang San to be unable to refuse becoming his disciple.

But he had not expected this kid to act so quickly.

And to do it by kneeling and kowtowing.

Yu Xiaogang had no idea that the truly wonderful part was yet to come.

Ye Xian, standing behind them, saw the entire scene. However, his expression was mostly one of someone watching a joke unfold.

Yu Xiaogang had barely said a few words before Tang San's knees seemed to suddenly give out.

He dropped to his knees and kowtowed.

Without the slightest hesitation.

Ye Xian suddenly realized that perhaps his modification had still been too conservative.

Maybe he could be bolder next time.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San in confusion.

"Child, why are you kowtowing to take me as your teacher?"

Tang San looked solemn, because he had never intended to take a teacher in the first place. He was acknowledging a father.

He answered with complete seriousness.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life!"

"You deserve my kneeling worship!"

Upon hearing Tang San's words, Yu Xiaogang could barely suppress the corners of his mouth.

"A teacher for a day, a father for life. Good!"

"Tang San, I truly did not misjudge you!"

"Great Master!"

Tang San called out respectfully, then raised his head to look up at Yu Xiaogang.

"Please accept me as your son!"

The instant those words came out, the air suddenly froze.

The smile on Yu Xiaogang's face stiffened as well.

W-what?

Accept him as a son?

Wasn't he supposed to accept a disciple?

Tang San's words had completely exceeded Yu Xiaogang's expectations.

Although Yu Xiaogang had found it somewhat absurd when Tang San first spoke.

Still, he figured that he, the Great Master, had lived for more than half his life.

Though he had accumulated a few romantic debts, he had never left behind an heir.

Looking at Tang San's incomparably resolute expression.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly felt that accepting a son was not entirely unacceptable.

Of course, he could only be a godson.

But to demonstrate his status, Yu Xiaogang still feigned reluctance.

"Tang San, it is fine if you wish to take me as your teacher, but this request..."

"Isn't it somewhat inappropriate?"

Seeing that there was hope, Tang San immediately shuffled forward on his knees until he reached Yu Xiaogang's feet.

"How could it be, Great Master!"

"If you do not disdain me, from this day onward, I will be your son!"

Yu Xiaogang nodded pretentiously.

"Fine!"

"Since that is the case, I shall reluctantly agree."

"However, for now, you can only be my godson. Are you willing?"

Tang San nodded repeatedly.

He and the Great Master had no blood relation, so he could only be a godson.

His real father was still hammering away at iron in Holy Soul Village.

"Great Master... no."

"Godfather, please accept your son's bow!"

With speed too fast for the eye to follow, Tang San kowtowed three more times.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang smile in satisfaction and help Tang San to his feet.

Ding! Chance modification successful!

Yu Xiaogang successfully accepted Tang San as his son!

Congratulations, Host, you have obtained: System Essence*1000!

Ye Xian, standing behind them, revealed a faint smile.

He had already accumulated two thousand System Essence.

That was enough to exchange for some items in the shop.

However, he still planned to save up a little more.

After all, the items priced at 9999 were truly irresistible.

Looking at Tang San, who had just been helped up by Yu Xiaogang.

Ye Xian laughed inwardly, and he nearly failed to suppress the corner of his mouth.

Even Tang San's father, Tang Hao, had probably never received such treatment, right?

There was indeed a reason famous scenes were called famous scenes.

Fortunately, he had received professional training and had excellent control over his expressions.

That was why his face did not reveal anything unusual.

In contrast, Yu Xiaogang was grinning from ear to ear.

Even if a beggar on the street kowtowed to him, he would be delighted for half the day.

Let alone Tang San kowtowing to become his disciple.

Yu Xiaogang had never received such treatment before.

Thus, Tang San successfully acknowledged Yu Xiaogang as his father.

Just then, Yu Xiaogang's gaze suddenly fell on Ye Xian behind him.

Tang San turned around at the same time, and when he saw Ye Xian, embarrassment could not help appearing on his face.

He had been so absorbed in acknowledging a father just now that he had forgotten all about Ye Xian, who had entered with him.

Did that not mean Ye Xian had witnessed his entire performance of kneeling and kowtowing?

Yet Yu Xiaogang's expression did not change much.

He still looked down on Ye Xian just as he had looked down on Tang San.

Compared to Tang San, this child had not spoken a single word to him from beginning to end.

That made Yu Xiaogang somewhat dissatisfied.

However, Ye Xian was a promising child with Innate Full Soul Power, so Yu Xiaogang still had some appreciation for him.

Moreover, Tang San, with his useless Blue Silver Flower Martial Soul, was already his disciple.

If Ye Xian, with his Wooden Bow Weapon Martial Soul, could also take him as his teacher, Yu Xiaogang would naturally be more than willing.

Originally, he had only accepted Tang San as a disciple in order to verify the invincible theories he had developed over so many years.

Tang San was merely meant to serve as a test subject.

If he could take in Ye Xian as another disciple to serve as a control group, that would be even better.

With that thought, Yu Xiaogang forced out a stiff smile and looked at Ye Xian.

"Ye Xian, would you also be willing to have me as your Teacher?"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Tang San, who had just successfully become a disciple and was still feeling smug, hurriedly nodded at Ye Xian.

He signaled for Ye Xian to agree quickly.

Such a good teacher was not someone one would encounter again after missing the chance.

And if Ye Xian also knelt and kowtowed like he had.

Then he would no longer have to worry about what he had just done being exposed.

Who would have thought that, under Yu Xiaogang and Tang San's astonished gazes, Ye Xian gently shook his head.

"Sorry, Great Master, I have no intention of taking a teacher right now."

Such a good teacher—no, he should say father—

Tang San could keep him and enjoy him slowly by himself.

Ye Xian had not the slightest interest in Yu Xiaogang.

Wasn't the system good enough?

Why would he acknowledge a useless and disgusting Yu Xiaogang as his teacher?

Only Tang San was into that sort of thing.

Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded. He dared refuse me?

He had never expected a six-year-old child to refuse to take him as a teacher!

This Old Man was the renowned Great Master of the Spirit Master World!

Ye Xian's answer had clearly caught Yu Xiaogang off guard.

It also made him extremely dissatisfied.

Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized something.

Perhaps Ye Xian was simply too young, and Nuoding City was too remote.

Not to mention that they had come from a village.

He must not have heard of Yu Xiaogang's reputation, which was why he had refused.

He put on an unconcerned smile.

"I am a somewhat famous Great Master in the Martial Soul world. If you take me as your teacher..."

"You will learn enough theoretical knowledge about Martial Souls, just like Tang San!"

Ye Xian sneered inwardly.

Tang San might be willing to be your test subject, but This Old Man sure as hell isn't.

Ye Xian shook his head again, his gaze utterly firm.

"Sorry, I have no intention of taking a teacher!"
