"It was the Elder who guided me onto the path of immortality, giving me the strength and status I have today. How dare I hold a grudge against you," the man with a single horn said, bowing his head.

Elder Hai looked at the man with disappointment in his eyes. "Even now, you still refuse to call me father, still refuse to acknowledge your lineage? What must I do for you to relent?"

The man with a single horn was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "You want me to acknowledge my lineage, to change my name to the one in the family register. But from childhood to now, I have only been known as Fang Dafu. My mother only remembered this name. It is my past, and it is your past as well. You wish to abandon it, but I dare not forget it."
