No matter what the circumstances are, staying in the Luo family is a pretty good choice. In such a situation, his identity would not be exposed and he would even have certain rights to act like a young master.

However, Xianyao had no intention of having anything to do with this gentleman because he did not want to acknowledge someone else as his father, even if that person meant no harm to him.

"I might be part of the Luo family's bloodline but I am not your son. Please don't hold me like this," Xianyao pushed the man in front of him away again.

"Child, I know you are resentful towards your father. Your father was reckless when he was young and made many mistakes. Now that he knows his mistake and is repenting, come with me to meet your sisters and brothers," said the man, still believing Xianyao was just resentful like what happened before.

"Sisters and brothers" Xianyao was somewhat puzzled; were there no brothers

"You don't have any brothers. Therefore, you are our treasure now and we will all love you dearly," said the man. He had some resentment towards this matter because he only gave birth to daughters even though he brought four others into his family. ..

He believed that his other children outside of this family definitely were boys. Now, he felt that his idea was correct as it truly happened.

"By the way, where can a person like me go" Xianyao asked the manager aside.

"This...," the manager looked at Xianyao with a bitter smile; could you two move away from here and don't trouble me, please

At this time, anyone would think that Xianyao was sulking because he had been abandoned for twenty-something years so now he doesn’t want to acknowledge the Third Lord as his father.

This mood could be understood. The Third Lord indeed wasn't a good person but this matter didn't concern them and they couldn't treat him like an ordinary clan returnee in front of the Third Lord either.

"Child, don't sulk anymore. Follow me. We will live together as a family," said the man to Xianyao.

"Hey, you guys leave this person alone and tell me what I can choose," Xianyao ignored the man and continued asking the manager.

"This... Third Lord, you handle it yourself," the manager frowned and eventually pushed Xianyao to the man for him to deal with since he had the authority to do so.

"I will handle this. I'll register him under my name as my offspring," said the man.

"No way! Right now, I'm alone and I believe there are many others like me who want their names recorded among foreign clan members," Xianyao said; most returnees had no family genealogical affiliation unless they could find it out.

Xianyao only wanted to register on the Luo Family Genealogy since he was part of the bloodline, but he did not wish to be under someone else's name. Moreover, he would not change his surname; he remained Le Xianyao.

If this could not be done, Xianyao wouldn't even register on the Luo Family Genealogy at all.

Fortunately, however, there was another branch of the Luo family genealogy - an external clan genealogy that recorded various surnames. These were people who did not want to change their surname but still possessed the Luo bloodline.

These individuals were born from the female side of the Luo family's lineage and might have gone through many generations already, retaining their ancestral surnames. Some would even join the Luo family without giving up their own ancestral surnames as it was an issue regarding honor and reputation.

To talk about why the Luo bloodline could continue to pass down in this way seemed very different from the Xuanwu clan; if the female lineage passed through the Xuanwu, the bloodline would soon become diluted and disappear eventually.

The interesting thing about the Luo family's bloodline was that they could purify their own bloodline by practicing the Luo Family Bloodline Technique (Cloud-Cloak Technique). Even a little bit of bloodline could be enhanced in purity through Cloud-Cloak Technique, and if it couldn't be done in one generation, another would continue.

This was also why the Luo family had been so powerful back then; the Luo bloodline was extremely hard to eliminate. Even though they had died once, they were still able to return to this level of strength.

Right now, the Luo Family wanted to absorb any clan members regardless of whether they were from another surname or not because their power wasn't sufficient enough to compare with the old Luo family. Perhaps when the Luo Family returned to that status again, they would abolish this external clan genealogy but at present, it was still permitted.

However, for those of other surnames, they basically gave up the right to compete for the position as head of the Luo family; although they could become core management elders, there was no way they would be the head of the Luo Family.

Therefore, sometimes people from the Luo Family also liked using clan members with another surname because they were their own people but wouldn't fight them for power.

"This is not possible..." The man shook his head without thinking and rejected it; he only had this one 'son', naturally, he couldn’t allow him to be of another surname.

“It must be done. Otherwise, I will pretend as though I never came here,” Xianyao said firmly.

"I say no way!" The man still refused.

Xiāoyáo did not respond to this; instead, he showed his stance through actions by simply turning around and walking away. He didn’t necessarily have to stay at the Luo family in order to investigate things; there were other methods.

"Stop right there!" The man barked out, somewhat displeased. "I am still your father no matter what, so don't act so arrogantly."

“Have you changed your mind” Xiāoyáo asked as he turned around to face the man.

"I..." The man wanted to say no, but at this moment, someone by his side pulled him back and whispered a few words into his ear.

"Third Master, don’t be so firm. We can handle this matter later on; let him register in the clan’s records first, then when your relationship improves, you can change it later. It’s not like we can't do that at all, right Better than him leaving now."

"That does make sense," The man nodded his agreement. "Alright, let’s have him registered. By the way, what is your name son"

Xiāoyáo frowned; he was very resistant to being called a son but decided not to correct it since he didn’t care much about it.

"My name is Yuè Xiāoyáo," he stated firmly. "It cannot be changed."

"Since you have entered the Luo family, you should be named Luo Xiāoyáo. I will note this down..." The man pretended not to hear Xiāoyáo's last sentence and picked up a pen intending to write it down.

Xiāoyáo swiftly reached over and snatched the pen from him, stating, "I am surnamed Yuè and my name is Xiāoyáo. Nothing can change this fact. Otherwise, if you insist on changing it, I will not acknowledge that person as myself."

"This isn't possible..."

Xiāoyáo turned around again to leave...

“Third Master, don’t make things difficult for yourself. This matter can still be altered later on. It’s natural for young masters to throw tantrums sometimes. Once they calm down, you’ll have the upper hand,” another person next to him advised.

The main purpose of this was simply to get rid of the situation as soon as possible so that he would no longer need to worry about it in the future once Xiāoyáo had registered.

He believed that even if Xiāoyáo left now, Third Master would still bring him back eventually. It wasn’t worth dragging things out; this way, it was better for Third Master himself.

The matter of changing the clan’s records at a later date wouldn't be his responsibility anymore—it would fall under the jurisdiction of the ancestral temple elders!

Here, registration did not mean official entry into the clan's records; that task still needed to be handled by the people from the ancestral temple. After all, such an important document as the family register was never casually placed here.

"Alright, let’s just register him as Yuè Xiāoyáo, then," the man finally agreed after gritting his teeth. "For now, we should calm ‘son’ down first."

“As for other matters, Third Master can arrange them himself; I will not be involved,” said that person.

Originally, with Xiāoyáo’s situation, he would have been assigned lodging and work. If he chose cultivation, it would fall under another system altogether.

No matter what decision was made, Third Master had the authority to arrange everything himself; this wasn’t a difficult task even for an ordinary manager in charge of outsiders.

"Alright, leave that to me," said the third master as he nodded his head. He then turned toward Xiāoyáo and spoke, "Child, follow me; I’ll first find you some accommodation. Also, if you want to do anything, I recommend focusing on cultivation although it’s quite difficult. Nonetheless, it is the most promising path. Of course, I won’t force you to make this choice…"

Even though Third Master seemed a bit neurotic, he was actually quite open-minded and let Xiāoyáo choose freely—perhaps because he didn’t want to argue with him.

Cultivation might be good, but it also depended on talent. Not everyone possessed the talent of a genius, and geniuses were not common either. Third Master had already experienced this multiple times; although only one daughter was a cultivation prodigy among his children, their other talents weren’t particularly high, leading him to disappointment.

Therefore, he didn’t have overly high expectations for Xiāoyáo but still advised focusing on cultivation in case the talent was there. In fact, even if the talent wasn't as strong, one could still mainly focus on cultivation because it could create combat strength; even if not top-tier, it could still fill gaps.

Of course, this didn’t apply to those naturally weak...

"I will cultivate," Xiāoyáo chose without hesitation.

Since he had the chance to turn his life around and become a master of his own fate, he naturally wanted to choose something easier. Cultivation was what he originally intended to do anyway; therefore, it wasn’t a big deal for him. This way, he would have plenty of time to do other things.

Being a servant was only for the sake of identity and learning purposes. Since Xiāoyáo now had the identity of being part of the master’s family and also had the right to learn, there was no need to be a servant anymore. Of course, if needed in the future, he would still fulfill that role.

There was another point: although his status here was elevated, back at Guxing Village, he still held the position of being a servant and continued to carry out his duties. Even though this servant role no longer resembled an ordinary one, nominally, he remained Guxing's servant.

In Xiāoyáo’s words: I am still just a small servant here; my identity is merely a disguise. Perhaps in the future, I will become a legitimate part of the family, but for now, I will continue to serve as a servant while having only one boss (to be continued). to mutter to himself but was clearly speaking for the benefit of the two girls."Go into a place and order what it typically serves!"
