Same Fate, Daughter Changes Her Surname

Back then, although he had left early, it did not mean he had no impact on his father and the family.

After all, at that time he still could not control the restraining power specifically targeting him.

He was bound to be affected to some extent.

When he previously left Shrek Academy to travel, he had also gone to take a look, and the once-grand family had gradually declined.

With the help of others, he had indirectly provided some assistance, but he had not gone to look again in all these years and did not know how things were now.

He felt that he must take some time to go and see.

"Dad, this is what Mom prepared long ago. She asked me to give it to you."

After Nan Qiuqiu's emotions stabilized, she took a letter out of her Storage Soul Tool.

After Huang Jinxu took it and opened the letter, seeing the familiar handwriting, he still felt some emotion.

After not seeing each other for many years, he did not know how she was doing now, whether she had practiced along the cultivation path he originally laid out for her, and whether she had become a Titled Douluo.

Soon he finished reading the contents of the letter.

Generally speaking, the letter accounted for three matters.

The first matter was that Nan Shuishui stated she had never regretted it all these years.

The second matter was that the development of the place where the Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow resided was almost complete, and in a little while, they would be able to enter it.

Back then, Huang Jinxu had headed straight for that Ten-Thousand-Year Profound Ice Marrow, except that without Ultimate Ice, coupled with a strange layer of power guarding that place, he could not enter.

However, he had still told Nan Shuishui about this matter, letting her carry out preliminary development on it. Even if they could not obtain the things inside, they would still be able to construct a cultivation sacred ground, thereby elevating his own and the sect's strength.

As for the third matter, it was very simple, and that was to let Nan Qiuqiu change her surname.

To take his surname.

"Really now..."

After seeing the contents of this letter, Huang Jinxu did not know what to say for a moment.

To say he was not moved would be false.

After coming to this world, many people regarded him as a disaster.

Nan Shuishui was one of the few people who clearly knew his abnormality yet still desperately approached him.

How could one not be moved by that?

"Qiuqiu, have you ever thought about changing your surname?"

"If you are unwilling, we won't change it."

Huang Jinxu did not plan to force this matter, and everything depended on his daughter's wishes. After all, his daughter had been called by the name Nan Qiuqiu for over a dozen years.

"I want to share the same surname as Dad."

Nan Qiuqiu agreed directly without even thinking.

Seeing such a daughter, a trace of trance surfaced in Huang Jinxu's gaze.

He saw the shadow of a person on his own daughter.

Huo Yuhao!

Right, it was Huo Yuhao.

It was not to say his daughter resembled Huo Yuhao, but rather that their mothers' teachings to them were extremely similar.

As long as Huo Yun'er had not died in the White Tiger Duke's Mansion, no matter how harshly she was bullied, Huo Yuhao would never have harbored absolute hatred toward Dai Hao.

"So that's how it is?"

Huang Jinxu seemed to understand why Huo Yuhao eventually made that kind of decision.

His foundation had long been set by Huo Yun'er.

Was this a coincidence, or was it arranged right from the start?

Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu began to focus on his daughter's personality. Since Huo Yuhao was like that and his daughter grew up under these conditions, would she also be filled with inferiority and cowardice from the bottom of her heart?

After a round of observation, Huang Jinxu found that it was fine.

His daughter did not possess that deep-seated sense of inferiority from the bottom of her heart like Huo Yuhao did.

It was also easy to understand. After all, Huo Yun'er's background and Nan Shuishui's background were different, and their horizons were also different.

"Alright, from now on you will take my surname and be called Huang Qiuqiu."

Huang Jinxu smiled and agreed.

His thoughts cleared, and he suddenly felt the heaven and earth open up.

The opportunity for a breakthrough that was supposed to take over half a year longer to arrive had just appeared like this.

With Huang Jinxu's father and daughter recognizing each other and sensing the opportunity for a breakthrough, it could be said to be a double blessing.

Inside the Sea God Pavilion, however, the atmosphere at this moment was exceptionally heavy.

Right now, everyone gathered in one hall, solely to discuss one matter.

How to deal with Yan Shaozhe.

Because of this, the crowd argued endlessly.

Some advocated expelling him from Shrek Academy and even digging out the Soul Bone within his body, while others advocated suppressing him within Shrek Academy until he died of old age completely, leaving the Soul Bone on his body in the academy.

"Alright, on this matter I shall make an arbitrary decision for once."

"Starting today, strip Yan Shaozhe of his identity as the dean of the Martial Soul Department, and announce to the outside world that the dean fought bitterly against an Evil Soul Master, killing him with all his might while his own cultivation was also crippled."

"Aside from that, forbid Yan Shaozhe from leaving Shrek City. If he can pass down the Bright Phoenix Martial Soul, then the Soul Bone on his body will be passed down to his child; if he cannot do it, the Soul Bone will belong to the academy."

Mu En spoke, delivering the final verdict on this conclusion.

The people present no longer said anything more.

"Shaozhe, do you feel wronged?"

Seeing no one object, Mu En then looked toward Yan Shaozhe, who was lying on the stretcher, to ask.

He already understood the specific circumstances regarding this matter.

To tell the truth, Mu En did not believe Yan Shaozhe would deliberately scheme against him. After all, he was a child he had watched grow up; although this fellow Shaozhe was a bit narrow-minded, his loyalty to Shrek Academy was absolute.

Yet the matter had indeed happened.

Even if it was a coincidence, Yan Shaozhe had no choice but to swallow this loss.

At first Mu En was still wondering if this matter was related to Huang Jinxu.

It was not to say Huang Jinxu directly made a move, but rather that it was connected to Huang Jinxu's strange Martial Soul.

Yet upon learning that Huang Jinxu and his daughter had recognized each other, Mu En dismissed this idea.

Being able to recognize his daughter meant that Little Xu had already resolved his own Martial Soul's problem, and naturally he would no longer affect others.

One could only say that everything was blamed on Yan Shaozhe's bad luck.

As for the fact that he lost the lifespan that should have been extended because of this matter, Mu En truly did not take it to heart.

Being able to live three or four more years, and doing so while moving about freely, he was already very satisfied.

As for after his own death, Mu En truly was not worried at present.

With Little Xu here, even if he was unwilling to become the master of the Sea God Pavilion, in the future should Shrek Academy face a crisis, he would definitely lend a hand.

"Elder Mu, since Yan Shaozhe has stepped down, then who will take the position of dean of the Martial Soul Department?"

Having resolved Yan Shaozhe's problem, someone soon brought up another issue, and that was the vacancy for the dean of the Martial Soul Department.

This was not merely a matter of a position, as solid benefits were also tied up within it.

"You don't need to worry about the dean of the Martial Soul Department. In a few days I will make arrangements."

The most ideal person in Mu En's heart was naturally Huang Jinxu.

Since he was unwilling to be the master of the Sea God Pavilion, then becoming dean should not be a problem, right?

As for how to make Huang Jinxu agree, Mu En had his own plans.
