Go, Let's Find Beautiful Girls at Heavenly Water Academy!

As Chen Yue knew.

The descendants of Soul Masters recruited this way would inevitably take their mother's surname rather than their father's.

Of course, those who could actually be recruited were pitifully few.

Most Soul Masters who graduated from Spirit Hall Primary Academy were proud and ambitious. Unless they were impoverished commoners from remote mountain villages with no other choice, they would never make such a decision.

But... the speaker had meant nothing by it, while the listener took it to heart.

Chen Yue stopped in his tracks and fell into thought. "Becoming a live-in son-in-law doesn't seem so bad?"

"After all, I could have children right away?"

Did he remember what he had intended after leaving Spirit Hall?

Wasn't it to figure out how to take wives and concubines, then have children?

Though he was now a Soul Elder, he basically had no resources at hand, aside from some gold soul coins. He couldn't possibly go to some mountain village full of useless martial souls and become some local tyrant, could he?

What he wanted was not merely a longer lifespan, but the system's additional rewards. Only then could he defy fate and change his destiny!

And now, after hearing about becoming a live-in son-in-law, it seemed like this... might also be a viable path?

He could directly marry into a Soul Master family, concern himself with nothing, leave the children for them to raise, and only be responsible for XXOO every day... Hiss! This life actually seemed pretty good?

The more Chen Yue thought about it, the more tempted he became.

As for the children's surname... Chen Yue figured that as long as he kept milking the system for rewards and cultivated to the rank of Titled Douluo, he probably would not even need to say a word. The children's mother would be scrambling to change their names back.

Therefore!

This was completely outside Chen Yue's considerations.

"But among all these families looking for live-in sons-in-law, which one should I choose?"

However, as he looked over the families, not a single name was familiar from the original work, leaving Chen Yue troubled.

If he chose an unfamiliar family and fell into some enormous trap, he might be hung up like a breeding stud. There might even be a two-hundred-pound tank... Hiss, terrifying!

With that thought, Chen Yue turned around and looked at the coachman who was about to leave. He immediately called out, "Wait!"

"What is it?"

The coachman was a middle-aged man. He turned back in confusion. "Does Guard Captain Chen have any other business?"

Although Chen Yue had left, Bibi Dong had retained his position. He could return whenever he wished, so the coachman did not dare offend him.

"I'd like to ask—which of the Soul Master families outside have better reputations?"

The coachman, "???"

What the hell!?

Guard Captain Chen was planning to... become a live-in son-in-law?

But when he remembered that Chen Yue was the Guard Captain of the Pope's Palace, the coachman did not dare refuse to answer. Naturally, he did not dare mock or question him either. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Well, if Guard Captain Chen truly wants to become a live-in son-in-law, perhaps... you could take a look in Skywater City?"

"Skywater City?"

Chen Yue froze. "You don't mean Heavenly Water Academy, do you?"

"That's right, Heavenly Water Academy!"

The coachman nodded. "My maternal uncle's granddaughter's cousin's daughter works at Heavenly Water Academy. I heard they are also planning to use this method of recruiting live-in sons-in-law to attract some exceptionally talented Soul Masters of commoner birth..."

After a pause, he thought for a moment and said somewhat uncertainly, "Right now, it seems there is someone called... Gu Qinghan? I heard she is the vice principal of Heavenly Water Academy. She has a niece named Gu Qingbo, who is supposedly a member of Heavenly Water Academy's team preparing to participate in this year's All-Continent Soul Master Competition?"
