Just as Liu Baibin and Zhao Xiaotian were communicating through voice transmission, a powerful fluctuation of Soul Power interrupted them. On the fourth floor, two young girls from Class Four of the sixth grade frowned and exchanged a glance.

"That aura seems to be Fourth Grandpa's!"

At that moment, Zhao Xiaotian felt that the two elders should calm down, so he summoned his Spirit and flew out from the second floor. The two young girls on the fourth floor happened to see the black-and-white figure flying out through the window.

Liu Ruyan furrowed her delicate brows. "Why did that junior jump straight out?"

Liu Ruxue also frowned as she looked in the direction Zhao Xiaotian had gone. "It looks like he went straight to that forest!"

Just as the two were about to jump out, a voice rang out from the forest. Zhao Xiaotian spread his External Soul Bone, the Shadow Demon Wings, and hovered in the air as he released his Soul Power.

"Please stop, elders! Otherwise, you'll destroy the entire Spirit Academy!"

After hearing the voice, Liu Jin and Light Feather Douluo withdrew their Soul Power auras and snorted coldly at each other. Zhao Xiaotian landed on the ground, retracted his soul bone, and stood there.

The moment Light Feather Douluo saw Zhao Xiaotian land, he walked over with a cheeky grin and slung an arm around his shoulders. "Come on, come on! Xiaotian, I'll take you to try some good food at a shop that just opened!"

Liu Jin also said, "Xiaotian, come with Fourth Grandpa!"

Light Feather Douluo exploded at once. "You old bastard! You're not Xiaotian's Fourth Grandpa! His Fourth Grandpa is my Fourth Brother, Mighty Lion!"

Liu Jin sneered. "Hehe! Mighty Lion Douluo? Is he that strong?"

Liu Jin's words dripped with mockery, making Light Feather Douluo's face turn green and purple with rage. Seeing the two start bickering again, Zhao Xiaotian began looking for something to change the subject.

Right then, Ghost Douluo, Ghost Charm, climbed up after pretending to be unconscious. Zhao Xiaotian immediately walked over and asked, "Elder Gui, have you been busy lately?"

Ghost Charm's body trembled. Turning around, he saw Liu Jin and Light Feather Douluo wearing dark smiles. In an instant, Ghost Charm did not dare utter a single word. He summoned his Spirit and tried to flee this troublesome place.

Seeing Ghost Charm trying to run, Liu Jin immediately unleashed his Sixth Soul Skill, White Shadow Hand, and dragged him back. Once he was caught, Ghost Charm's eyes filled with despair.

Liu Jin said coldly, "My grandson asked you a question, and you dared to run?"

Light Feather Douluo stopped arguing with Liu Jin and stared coldly at Ghost Charm as well. Being watched by two great figures made Ghost Charm's scalp tingle, but he did not dare say anything.

Ghost Charm: Life is bitter!

Seeing Liu Jin, a peak Level 97 powerhouse, use his Sixth Soul Skill to drag Elder Gui back, Zhao Xiaotian wore a speechless expression. Without further delay, he walked up to the utterly listless Ghost Charm and asked, "Elder Gui, do you have time recently?"

In order to leave this place sooner, Ghost Charm hurriedly nodded. "No, no! If Holy Son has something you need done, just give the order. Even if this subordinate is busy, I would never dare disobey Holy Son's command!"

Zhao Xiaotian looked at Ghost Charm strangely. "Elder Gui, if you're busy, I can find Elder Ju instead."

"No, no, no! Old Chrysanthemum has been very busy lately! I'm extremely free!"

Light Feather Douluo frowned upon hearing that but said nothing. Still, he had already decided that once he returned, he would go to the Papal Palace and question Bibi Dong about why Ghost Douluo claimed to be so free.

Zhao Xiaotian did not beat around the bush. "Elder Gui, help me investigate someone!"

The three Titled Douluo-level experts all turned their gazes toward him. Ghost Douluo hesitated for only a moment before asking, "Who?"

Zhao Xiaotian enunciated each word. "Yu! Xiao! Gang!"

Ghost Charm did not react at first and simply agreed. "Understood! In three days, this subordinate will bring all of Yu Xiaogang's information to Spirit Academy for you."

Zhao Xiaotian nodded. "Good! Then I'll await Elder Gui's news."

Liu Jin released Ghost Charm from his grasp, allowing him to flee this troublesome place. Light Feather Douluo then said to Zhao Xiaotian, "Xiaotian, I just remembered that I have something to do, so I won't disturb you any longer. Next time, I'll take you to the newly opened shop in Spirit City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Light Feather Douluo flew rapidly toward the Papal Palace. Zhao Xiaotian looked at Liu Jin in confusion.

Liu Jin did not understand either and could not be bothered to think about it further. He patted Zhao Xiaotian on the shoulder. "Xiaotian, study hard at the academy. If anyone bullies or hurts you, don't be afraid. Fourth Grandpa will protect you from the shadows."

Zhao Xiaotian nodded. "Okay, Fourth Grandpa!"

Since Zhao Xiaotian did not know what to call his mother's and father's brothers, he simply called them all Grandpa. Moreover, before Zhao Xiaotian left, Liu Ming had felt that his own grandson calling Liu Ming's younger brother Grandpa put him at a disadvantage, so Liu Ming strongly insisted that Zhao Xiaotian call him Grandpa too.

From then on, Zhao Xiaotian's maternal family could openly and rightfully come to Spirit City to visit him. That made it difficult for Bibi Dong and Great Enshrined Elder Qian Daoliu to stop them. Otherwise, if the public found fault with them, it would greatly damage Spirit Hall's reputation.

After Zhao Xiaotian returned to the classroom, he saw two young girls waiting outside the door. He was puzzled as to why these two senior girls were at the entrance, and he did not know that Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruxue had come looking for him.

So Zhao Xiaotian walked straight toward the classroom, passing them by. But just as he took a step, Liu Ruyan's cool voice entered his ears.

"Junior, are you Zhao Xiaotian?"

Zhao Xiaotian froze for a moment, then turned around and replied, "Yes! Senior, may I ask what you need?"

Liu Ruxue smiled. "Junior, come with us! We're going to your homeroom teacher's office!"

Though puzzled, Zhao Xiaotian followed Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruxue to the office of his homeroom teacher, Liu Baibin. Upon arriving, Liu Ruyan and Liu Ruxue entered without even knocking.

Zhao Xiaotian looked at the two of them in confusion but still walked inside. After Liu Ruxue closed the door, she threw herself into Liu Baibin's arms and acted spoiled.

"Dad! My sister and I brought our cousin!"

Liu Baibin stroked the little girl's silky hair in his arms. "Hahaha! Ruxue, you're still so unruly."

Liu Ruyan merely stood to one side coolly and watched. However, her gaze still drifted toward where Zhao Xiaotian stood from time to time.

After Liu Baibin picked up his younger daughter, Liu Ruxue, and placed her in his chair, he looked at Zhao Xiaotian. Zhao Xiaotian smiled. "Uncle!"

Liu Baibin nodded, walked over to the sofa, and sat down. He patted the spot beside him. "Come, Xiaotian! Sit here!"

Zhao Xiaotian nodded and sat beside Liu Baibin. Liu Baibin then said to his eldest daughter, "Come, Ruyan, sit here!"

Liu Ruyan nodded and sat on the other side of her father. Liu Baibin then introduced them to Zhao Xiaotian. "Xiaotian, let me introduce you. This is my eldest daughter, Liu Ruyan, and this is my younger daughter, Liu Ruxue. They inherited my White Shadow Fish Spirit and the Mutated White Snow Fish Spirit, respectively."

Zhao Xiaotian nodded with a smile. "I'm sure both cousins have exceptionally powerful Spirits, right?"

Liu Ruxue stood up and declared righteously, "Of course! My White Snow Fish Spirit can fight my sister evenly!"

Liu Ruyan merely clicked her tongue and remained silent. It was likely that Liu Ruyan had held back quite a bit when the sisters sparred; otherwise, Liu Ruxue would not have been so righteously claiming that her Spirit could match her sister's.
