After all, at that time he still couldn’t control the restraining power specifically targeting him.
It was bound to be affected to some extent.
When he previously left Shrek Academy to travel, he had also gone to take a look; that once large Family was gradually declining.
Relying on others, he indirectly provided some assistance, but these years he had never gone to look again, and didn’t know how it was doing now.
He felt that he must take some time to go and take a look.
“Dad, Mom prepared this long ago and asked me to give it to you.”
After Nan Qiuqiu’s emotions stabilized, she took out a letter from her storage spirit tool.
After Huang Jinxu took it and opened the letter, seeing the familiar handwriting, he felt some emotions.
Having not seen each other for many years, he didn’t know how she was doing now, whether she had walked the path to cultivation that he had planned for her back then, or if she had become a Titled Douluo.
Soon he finished reading the contents of the letter.
Generally speaking, the letter explained three matters.
The first matter, Nan Shuishui expressed that over these years, she had never regretted it.
The second matter was that the development of the place where the myriad year mysterious ice marrow was located was almost done, and after a period of time, they would be able to enter it.
Back then, Huang Jinxu had gone specifically for that myriad year mysterious ice marrow, except that without Ultimate Ice, coupled with a layer of strange protective power in that place, he was unable to enter it.
However, he still told Nan Shuishui about this matter, letting her carry out preliminary development on it.
Even if she couldn’t get the things inside, she could still build a Cultivation Holy Land, thereby enhancing her own and the Sect’s strength.
As for the third matter, it was very simple, and that was to have Nan Qiuqiu change her surname.
To share his surname.
“Really now…”
After seeing the contents of this letter, Huang Jinxu didn’t 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 threw herself at him regardless of the danger.
How could one not be moved?
“Qiuqiu, have you ever thought about changing your surname?”
“If you are unwilling, we won’t change it.”
Huang Jinxu did not intend to force this matter; everything depended on his daughter’s wishes.
After all, his daughter had been called Nan Qiuqiu for more than a dozen years.
“I want to share the same surname as Dad.”
Without even thinking about it, Nan Qiuqiu directly agreed.
Seeing such a daughter, a trace of trance appeared in Huang Jinxu’s eyes.
He saw the shadow of a person on his daughter.
Huo Yuhao!
Right, it was Huo Yuhao.
It wasn’t to say that his daughter resembled Huo Yuhao, but rather that their mothers’ teachings to them were very similar.
Provided Huo Yun’er hadn’t died inside the White Tiger Dukes Mansion, no matter how badly she was bullied, Huo Yuhao could never harbor absolute resentment toward Dai Hao.
“So it was like this?”
Huang Jinxu seemed to understand why Huo Yuhao had ultimately made that kind of decision.
His foundation had long been set by Huo Yun’er.
Was this a coincidence, or was it arranged from the very beginning?
Thinking of this, Huang Jinxu began to pay attention to his daughter’s personality.
Since Huo Yuhao was like that, would his daughter, growing up under such conditions, also be filled with inferiority and cowardice from the bottom of her heart?
After some observation, Huang Jinxu found that fortunately, it was alright.
His daughter did not carry that deep-seated inferiority found in Huo Yuhao.
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.
With his thoughts clear and unobstructed, he suddenly felt the World broaden.
The opportunity for a Breakthrough that originally would have taken more than half a year just appeared like this.
On Huang Jinxu’s side, father and daughter recognized each other and even sensed the opportunity for a Breakthrough, which could be said to be a double blessing.
Inside the Sea Gods Pavilion, the atmosphere at this moment was exceptionally solemn.
Right now, everyone gathered in one hall, solely to discuss one matter.
How to deal with Yan Shaozhe.
Because of this, everyone argued endlessly.
Some advocated expelling him from Shrek Academy and even digging out the Spirit Bone within his body, while others advocated suppressing him within Shrek Academy until he died of old age, leaving the Spirit Bone on his body within the Academy.
“Alright, for this matter, I will be arbitrary this once.”
“Starting today, Yan Shaozhe is stripped of his status as the Dean of the Spirit Department.
It will be announced to the outside World that the Dean fought bitterly against evil soul masters, slew them at the cost of his life, and his own cultivation was also crippled.”
“In addition, under Restriction, Yan Shaozhe is forbidden from leaving Shrek City.
If he can pass down the Bright Phoenix Spirit as a Legacy, then the Spirit Bone on his body will be passed down to his children; if he cannot do so, the Spirit Bone will belong to the Academy.”
Mu En spoke, hammering down the final verdict on this conclusion.
The people present no longer said anything more.
“Shaozhe, do you feel wronged?”
Seeing that no one objected, Mu En then looked at Yan Shaozhe lying on the stretcher and asked.
He had already understood the specific details of this matter clearly.
To be honest, Mu En did not believe that Yan Shaozhe would intentionally frame him.
After all, he was a child he watched grow up; although this fellow Shaozhe was a bit petty, his loyalty to Shrek Academy was absolute.
But 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 wasn’t to say that Huang Jinxu acted directly, but that it was intertwined with Huang Jinxu’s strange Spirit.
But upon learning that Huang Jinxu had recognized his daughter, Mu En dismissed this idea.
Being able to recognize his daughter showed that Xiao Xu had already resolved the problem of his own Spirit, and naturally would not affect others anymore.
One could only say that everything was to be 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 able to move freely, he was already very satisfied.
As for after his own death, Mu En truly wasn’t worried at the moment.
With Xiao Xu around, even if he was unwilling to become the Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion, if Shrek Academy faced trouble in the future, he would definitely help.
“Mu Lao, since Yan Shaozhe has stepped down, who will take over as the Dean of the Spirit Department?”
Having solved Yan Shaozhe’s problem, someone soon brought up another issue, which was the vacancy for the Dean of the Spirit Department.
This was not merely a matter of a position; there were solid, tangible benefits within it.
“You don’t need to worry about the Dean of the Spirit Department; I will make arrangements in a few days.”
The most ideal person in Mu En’s heart was naturally Huang Jinxu.
Since he was unwilling to be the Master of the Sea Gods Pavilion, then being the Dean should be no problem, right?
As for how to get Huang Jinxu to agree, Mu En had his own plans.
