Inside the carriage at Barak Academy, taking advantage of the others' inattention, Liu Tianfeng quietly pulled Xue Tianxing to the connecting area between the carriages and asked in a low voice:
"Tianxing, could the Lord Yu Tian who just saved us be... a relative from your mother's side?"
Liu Tianfeng had lived in the Barak Kingdom for many years and knew that Xue Tianxing's mother was named Yu Ningxin. He had also vaguely heard that she came from a large family in Wuhun City, but he never knew her specific identity.
Having witnessed Yu Tian save Xue Tianxing, and considering Xue Tianxing's angelic martial soul, as well as sensing the subtle connection between the two, Liu Tianfeng had a guess in his mind.
Xue Tianxing nodded, a smile on his face, and said with certainty:
"If nothing unexpected happens, he will be my maternal grandfather."
My mother mentioned to me that her father was the head of the Two-Winged Angel lineage, named Yu Tian. He must have recognized me when he saved me just now.
"So that's how it is!"
Liu Tianfeng suddenly understood, a relieved smile appearing on his face, and then continued:
"With a level 98 Title Douluo as your grandfather secretly protecting you, you'll have more security in Spirit City. That puts my mind at ease."
He had been worried that Xue Tianxing would encounter difficulties from the Spirit Hall in Spirit City, but now that he knew that his powerful maternal grandfather, Yu Tian, was there, he finally felt relieved.
As a level 98 Title Douluo, Yu Tian enjoys extremely high prestige in Wuhun City. Even Pope Bibi Dong has to give Yu Tian some face.
Meanwhile, Yu Tian, who seemed to have left, had not actually gone far.
He flew a short distance out of the canyon and stopped on a secluded mountain peak. His gaze, peering through the gaps in the leaves, was fixed on the carriage where Xue Tianxing was, his eyes filled with affection and relief.
Since his daughter Yu Ningxin chose to marry Xue Zhe for love and left Wuhun City, disappearing from his sight, Yu Tian has rarely paid attention to outside affairs.
Several years ago, he learned by chance about his daughter's family and that he had a grandson named Xue Tianxing, who was exceptionally talented. He then began to quietly follow Xue Tianxing's growth.
He watched Xue Tianxing grow from a little prince of the Barak Kingdom into a Soul Master with an ultimate ice attribute martial soul, and watched him stand out in the Soul Master Competition, breaking through to the Soul Emperor level at the age of fifteen. The pride and satisfaction in his heart were beyond words.
He made a special trip from Wuhun City to attend this Continental Soul Master Tournament, just to see his grandson in person and see how far he had grown.
Just now, above the canyon, he saw Yue Guan and Gui Mei actually attack Xue Tianxing, and his anger was instantly ignited.
If he hadn't been worried that revealing his identity would cause Xue Tianxing unnecessary trouble, he probably would have already taken action and completely eliminated those two arrogant fools.
"This child certainly didn't disappoint me."
Yu Tian watched the carriage gradually disappear into the distance, a smile appearing on his lips, and then continued:
"However, Wuhun City is different from other places. Bibi Dong is a woman with a deep mind and harbors murderous intent towards Xue Tianxing. I must stay by his side to ensure his safety."
After saying that, Yu Tian's figure flashed, turning into a white streak of light, silently following behind the convoy, like a most loyal guardian, silently protecting his grandson in the shadows.
The convoy continued onward, heading towards Wuhun City.
Inside the Papal Palace in Wuhun City, a solemn and dignified atmosphere enveloped every corner.
On the enormous papal throne, Bibi Dong wore a black papal robe and a jeweled papal crown. Her face was cold and beautiful, and her eyes exuded an undeniable majesty.
Below her, Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, stood bowing. Her red dress accentuated her snow-white skin, but her brows held a hint of unconcealed sorrow.
"Teacher, the final of the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament is in three days, but I still feel uneasy."
Hu Liena raised her head, her voice tinged with worry, and then continued speaking to Bibi Dong:
"I originally thought that my team with Xie Yue and Yan would be invincible in this competition. But after learning about the strength of Barak Academy, I'm not so confident anymore."
She paused, then continued:
"Although the three of us are known as the 'Golden Generation' of the Spirit Hall, and we have all broken through to the Soul King level, Barak Academy actually has a fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor and three Soul Kings!"
Even with this configuration, we might not be able to guarantee a win.
Especially Xue Tianxing, who reached the Soul Emperor level before the age of fifteen. His talent is truly terrifying. If given time to grow, he might become a major threat to our Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena's worries were not only about the fear of losing the match, but more importantly, the fear of letting Bibi Dong down.
As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she knew that Bibi Dong had specially prepared three high-quality spirit bones as rewards for this Continental Spirit Master Competition. It was obvious to everyone that these three spirit bones were prepared for her, Xie Yue, and Yan.
If they lose to Barak Academy in the finals, they will not only lose face, but also disappoint Bibi Dong.
After listening to Hu Liena's words, Bibi Dong lightly tapped her fingers on the armrest of her chair and said calmly:
"Nana, you don't need to worry too much about Barak Academy."
Although Xue Tianxing is exceptionally talented, he has offended our Spirit Hall and is now our enemy.
I have already sent Elder Chrysanthemum and Elder Ghost to intercept them on the way, capture Xue Tianxing, and take care of Tang San as well.
Without Xue Tianxing, Barak Academy is no threat.
"Capture Xue Tianxing?"
A hint of curiosity flashed in Hu Liena's eyes, and she quickly asked:
"Teacher, what exactly did Xue Tianxing do that made you personally order his arrest?"
When Bibi Dong heard this question, her expression remained unchanged, but a ripple of emotion stirred within her. She couldn't very well tell Hu Liena that she wanted to kill Xue Tianxing because he had turned Yu Xiaogang into a "eunuch," causing her beloved to suffer humiliation.
If this were to be revealed, it would not only damage my own prestige but also embarrass Yu Xiaogang.
She paused for a moment, then said in a calm tone:
"Nana, you don't need to worry about these things."
Your task now is to focus on preparing for the competition in a few days and concentrate all your energy on improving your skills.
"As long as you can lead the team to victory, the teacher will take care of everything else."
Seeing Bibi Dong's cold gaze, Hu Liena knew her teacher didn't want to say anything more, so she wisely stopped pressing the matter and bowed, saying:
"Yes, teacher, I understand. I will definitely prepare well for the competition and won't let you down."
