275: As your real father! ?

Dad?

Dad??

Below and above the stage, the crowd and guests were utterly astonished.

“What did he say? Dad?”

“He wants to acknowledge the Flame God as his dad?”

Zhao Yan completely disregarded the surrounding uproar. Seeing Xuan Yuan Potian in front of him still excitedly calling him 'Dad', his legs went soft, and his heart felt very hollow.

Although he had a decent relationship with the Xuan Yuan Clan, enough for Xuan Yuan Potian to call him 'Uncle'.

But if they were to truly discuss background and strength, how could he, a lone individual, compare to the Xuan Yuan Clan, which had been passed down for who knows how many years?

If Xuan Yuan Potian's father, Xuan Yuan Longmie, that hot-tempered man, found out.

Wouldn't he break his legs?

“No! Don't, don't, don't!”

Zhao Yan quickly reached out and patted Xuan Yuan Potian's shoulder, his expression slightly serious: 'Little Xuan Yuan, you can't just say things like that. We are formally becoming Master and disciple, so we can't be casual with our titles.'

“I call you my disciple, so you must call me Master. You can't call me anything else and lose propriety.”

“Huh?”

When Xuan Yuan Potian heard this, he showed resistance: 'But... but I just want to call you Dad.'

“No!”

After being decisively rejected by Zhao Yan, Xuan Yuan Potian lowered his head, feeling wronged.

【The Flame God actually refused to be called Dad by you.】

【This made you feel greatly humiliated.】

【Being called Dad by you was clearly an honor, yet the other party was extremely disgusted.】

【So you decided——】

【A: Attack and take revenge on him.】

【B: Since he doesn't like being called Dad, maybe he'll like the opposite? Call him son!】

【C: Insist on your own opinion, ignoring anyone's advice and continue to call him Dad.】

【D: If he dares to make you unhappy, then make him even more unhappy. Treat him as your biological father and abandon the Xuan Yuan Clan surname!】

D!

The look of disappointment on Xuan Yuan Potian's face flashed past.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan originally wanted to persuade him further.

Unexpectedly, Xuan Yuan Potian's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a happy smile: 'It's okay, Dad, you don't need to care about other people's thoughts. I'm serious about wanting to be your son.'

“Moreover, I swear to the heavens!”

He raised his hand, his voice resonant and steady: 'From now on, I will leave the Xuan Yuan Clan, change my surname to Zhao, and my new name will be Zhao Potian!'

“I will acknowledge Zhao Yan as my father and never let him down for my entire life!”

Boom!!

A deafening clap of thunder suddenly rang out in the sky, like the heavens were enraged by this matter.

And at this moment.

Everyone present was completely dumbfounded.

?

??

Shock, confusion, bewilderment......

A variety of emotions surfaced on everyone's faces. Surprise flickered in everyone's eyes; no one could have imagined things would develop like this.

“This, this, this...”

“What in the world is Xuan Yuan Potian doing?”

“Has he gone mad? He wants to change his name?? He's the young master of the Xuan Yuan Clan!”

“It's over! This is no small matter. Did you hear that clap of thunder just now? The Xuan Yuan Clan must have sensed it!”

【Collapse Value +60!】

Flame God Zhao Yan looked up at the sky, sensing something unknown.

His face suddenly turned deathly pale with a 'swish'.

“Damn! He's here!”

As soon as his words fell!

A low rumble suddenly came from afar, causing the entire world to tremble along with it.

Everyone looked around in terror, only to see a tall figure rapidly approaching from the northern sky—— He stepped through the air, and with every step he took, the void seemed to be struck by a giant hammer, cracking open into dense, spiderweb-like fissures.

Closer.

Only then could they clearly see the figure.

He was wearing a black long robe embroidered with dragons, his sleeves fluttering in the wind.

His figure was as imposing as a mountain, and between his brows, he exuded an aura of authority that commanded respect without needing anger.

His pair of golden eyes carried immense power, and as he scanned past, everyone trembled!

“Xuan Yuan... Long, Long, Long... Longmie!!”

A guest was greatly alarmed.

The arrival... was none other than the hundredth generation patriarch of the Xuan Yuan Clan, the tyrannical and ruthless man famous throughout the Ten Heavens—— Xuan Yuan Longmie!

The moment he appeared.

The entire sky was dyed with a layer of inexplicable golden yellow.

It was as if an invisible domain had enveloped them. Except for Flame God Zhao Yan, everyone else felt their lives were already in the opponent's hands.

Flame God Zhao Yan swallowed.

His gaze subconsciously glanced at Xuan Yuan Potian. While frantically praying in his heart that this little ancestor wouldn't shout nonsense again, he greeted him with a smile: 'Brother Xuan Yuan, it's been a while. Why do you have time to visit me now?'

Xuan Yuan Longmie ignored him.

His eyes stared intently at Xuan Yuan Potian, his expression stern: 'Tian'er, what did you just do? Why did I sense that our Xuan Yuan Clan's luck suddenly plummeted because of you!?'

As the hundredth generation patriarch, he had long since closely linked the Xuan Yuan Clan's luck with himself.

If not for this.

He wouldn't have keenly sensed the abnormality here, nor would he have rushed over so anxiously.

“I...”

Panic filled Xuan Yuan Potian's heart.

His gaze swept over everyone present, then he looked at Wu Linglong beside him. Seeing her still staring at him with a bewildered expression, he gritted his teeth and mustered his courage: 'Xuan Yuan Longmie, I...'

“I've changed my surname to Zhao now!”

“I am now called... called... called Zhao Potian!”

As soon as Xuan Yuan Potian's words fell, the entire scene instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Flame God Zhao Yan's face instantly turned pale. He quickly waved his hands and said urgently: 'Little Xuan Yuan, you can't just say things like that! I, I... I don't acknowledge you as my son...'

“No!”

“What I mean is, this is just your wishful thinking. Stop talking nonsense!”

Zhao Yan was so flustered he couldn't speak clearly.

Xuan Yuan Potian, however, stared straight at him, his eyes filled with determination: 'Dad, I'm serious! From now on, I am Zhao Potian, and you are my dad!'

【Collapse Value +20!】

It's over!

Cold sweat poured down Zhao Yan's forehead.

He secretly glanced at Xuan Yuan Longmie, only to see his face was terrifyingly gloomy, as if he would erupt at any moment.

“What did you say?”

“Say that again!?”

Xuan Yuan Longmie's voice was low and cold, as if it came from Nine Nether Hell.

Xuan Yuan Potian gritted his teeth and mustered his courage: 'I said! I want to leave the Xuan Yuan Clan and change my surname to Zhao!'

“Presumptuous!!”

Xuan Yuan Longmie roared in anger, his voice exploding like thunder, making everyone's eardrums ache.

He took a step forward, his figure instantly appearing before Xuan Yuan Potian, and raised his hand to strike down with a palm.

“Boom!”

A golden palm print appeared out of thin air, carrying irresistible might, and viciously slapped Xuan Yuan Potian's face!

Slap!!

It was quite miraculous.

With such great force, he wasn't slapped away, but merely spat out thick blood.

【Your former father slapped you in public.】

【This made you extremely angry.】

【Can't you even be your own master? Must you dedicate your entire life to the Xuan Yuan Clan? So you decided——】

【A: Kneel down and repent on the spot.】

【B: Acknowledge your mistake and correct it, returning to the embrace of the Xuan Yuan Clan.】

【C: Swear that the revenge for this palm strike today will be repaid sooner or later!】

【D: Take revenge on the spot, and slap him back!】

In the Saint Descent Hall, on the throne.

Looking at the four options that popped up in front of him, Lin Sheng hesitated for a moment.

Excluding the normal B, the other three options were all viable.

“Option C seems similar to one I've chosen before...”

“Then let's go with D.”

Lin Sheng was more inclined towards options he hadn't chosen before, so he chose D!
