Nickname Yu Xiaosan? Tang San Was Dumbfounded—Nicknames Come with Surnames?

He knew Ye Xian's strength and methods all too well.

Just now, he had been completely unable to fight back.

Ye Xian curled his lip.

"I'm not interested. If you want to fight, go by yourself."

Wang Sheng was clearly a little dumbfounded.

Only then did he realize that the new boss of his dorm seemed to have an exceptionally aloof personality.

Slap—!

Just then, Ye Xian patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder.

The sudden movement startled the latter into shuddering.

Then Ye Xian revealed a faint smile.

"The world isn't about fighting and killing."

"It's about connections and social know-how."

"Understand?"

Wang Sheng nodded repeatedly.

Then he hurried over to Xiao Wu's side and lowered his voice as he quietly said,

"That's the boss of our dorm. His temper isn't very good."

"Don't provoke him unless you have a good reason, understand?"

A look of surprise appeared on Xiao Wu's face.

"The boss?"

This rather handsome and exceptionally aloof boy was actually the boss here.

She truly had not expected that.

Xiao Wu nodded and entered the dorm, choosing an empty bed.

It happened to be right beside Tang San's.

Just then, a teacher delivered the two quilts Yu Xiaogang had requested.

One was for Tang San, and the other was for Ye Xian.

Clearly, despite failing to take him as a disciple, he still refused to give up.

Naturally, Ye Xian did not refuse.

Why turn down free stuff? Who didn't like freeloading?

Then Xiao Wu successfully shared half a quilt with Tang San.

He looked reluctant on the surface, but inwardly, Tang San was grinning from ear to ear.

Ye Xian chuckled to himself as he watched the scene.

Perfect. They could be tortured together from now on.

At lunchtime, Ye Xian grandly treated the entire dorm to a meal.

Only then did Wang Sheng realize that this new boss was actually quite amiable.

Other than Tang San, who was called away midway by Yu Xiaogang.

Everyone ate happily.

Except for Xiao Wu, who sat nearby looking upset.

Among the many dishes Ye Xian ordered was a fragrant, spicy plate of Hand-Shredded Rabbit.

Everyone else ate with great relish.

But Xiao Wu desperately forced her gaze toward the other dishes.

She did not even want to look at it.

Meanwhile, Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang to the latter's dorm.

As soon as they entered the room, Yu Xiaogang pulled a paper packet from his robes and handed it to Tang San.

"You're still growing. You can't get by on such poor food."

Tang San froze for a moment before opening the packet.

Inside were two chicken legs and a steamed bun.

He was instantly dumbfounded.

He had just personally seen Ye Xian order a whole spread of lavish dishes.

They simply had not been served yet.

Yet Yu Xiaogang had assumed Tang San could not afford a meal.

The sight of those two chicken legs made the corners of his mouth twitch.

This was a massive loss!

He could have freeloaded a good meal.

But Yu Xiaogang had appeared out of nowhere and snatched that opportunity away.

Seeing Tang San lower his head in hesitation.

Yu Xiaogang thought he was so moved by the gesture that he could not contain himself.

Immediately, he put on an act as though it were nothing worth mentioning and spoke with a hint of solemnity.

"You needn't be so grateful. After all, I'm your Godfather now, so naturally I must take responsibility for you."

"Hurry and eat. Afterward, I have something to tell you."

Tang San could only accept it and start eating.

The chicken legs were not bad, and Tang San was fairly satisfied.

But that dried-out bun, gods knew how old it was, nearly choked him to death.

Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang rummaged through boxes and cabinets at the side, apparently searching for some documents.

He did not even pour Tang San a cup of water.

Finally, Yu Xiaogang found the materials he wanted.

He studied the contents for a moment, and at last, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Tang San and was just about to speak when he suddenly thought of something.

Now that Tang San was his godson, continuing to address him by his full name seemed inappropriate.

In that case, why not give Tang San a nickname?

At this thought, Yu Xiaogang nodded to himself.

"You and I can now be considered father and son."

"Since that is so, I can no longer call you by your full name."

"How about Godfather gives you a nickname?"

At that moment, Tang San was so choked by the bun that his neck was practically stretching out the window.

His eyes were about to roll back.

Without even raising his head, he nodded in agreement.

There was nothing wrong with a godfather giving his godson a nickname.

A satisfied smile appeared on Yu Xiaogang's face.

Tang San.

San.

Xiao San.

After giving it some thought, he blurted out,

"How about I call you Yu Xiaosan from now on?"

Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!

Hearing that, Tang San erupted into a violent coughing fit.

The bun lodged in his throat immediately went down.

Why did this nickname have three characters?

Xiao San itself was certainly not a problem.

His father had called him that at home as well.

But what the hell was this "Yu"?

He looked at Yu Xiaogang in confusion.

"Godfather, why does my nickname have to have Yu in front of it?"

Yu Xiaogang's lips curled upward, revealing a supremely confident smile.

"You may not know this, but Godfather's full name is Yu Xiaogang!"

"You are my godson. Naturally, the nickname I give you must share my surname."

Tang San was completely dumbfounded.

Nicknames came with surnames?

Was that even a thing?

Why had he never heard of it before?

He stared at Yu Xiaogang in disbelief, frozen where he stood.

Seeing Tang San's reaction, Yu Xiaogang immediately became somewhat displeased.

"What? You don't want it?"

"Or do you think the nickname Godfather gave you is no good?"

Tang San did not dare make a sound. In truth, he wanted to say it was both.

But given the current situation, he could only keep it bottled up inside.

"No, no. I really like the name Godfather gave me."

Tang San forcibly squeezed out a smile.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang nod in satisfaction.

"That's more like it!"

"Now that you have this nickname, you look even more like Yu Xiaogang's disciple!"

"Don't worry. Godfather will devote all his efforts to teaching you everything I have learned in my life."

Hearing this, Tang San finally revealed a genuine smile.

After suffering so many losses, he could finally learn something worthwhile.

Then it was worth it!

As the saying went, suffering losses was a blessing.

It really was true.

Only then did Yu Xiaogang shift his gaze to the documents on the desk before him.

Then he looked up at Tang San.

"You're six years old, possess Innate Full Soul Power, and have Twin Martial Souls."

"Release your other Martial Soul and let me see it."

Tang San nodded. Since Godfather already knew he had Twin Martial Souls, there was nothing left to hide.

Ding! Detected the famous scene where Yu Xiaogang discovers Tang San's second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!

Chosen Encounter triggered!

Encounter Entry: Black light surged forth as Tang San condensed his second Martial Soul, the Clear Sky Hammer!

The host may choose to modify the entry, thereby affecting the original outcome of this famous scene in Tang San's storyline.

Successfully influencing it will grant a reward: 500 points of System Essence!

Just then, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Ye Xian's mind as he ate in the cafeteria.

After thinking for a moment, he picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

Then he silently issued the system a command.

"Change 'hammer' to 'bamboo shoot.'"
