The powder-blue-haired youth spoke these words with indignation, and the burly man scratched his head in helplessness.

"Xiao Dong, you have to understand your father; he is simply too busy."

Hearing his second uncle still defending her father, Wang Dong turned her head away and muttered under her breath.

"Busy, busy, busy—he only knows how to be busy and doesn't care about me at all."

The reason Wang Dong was so distraught was primarily because she could not even remember what her parents looked like.

She could not recall how many years it had been since they left, nor could she remember their faces, which indirectly proved that she had not seen them for a very long time.

Seeing Wang Dong in this state, Er Ming could not help but shake his head and sigh.

Just a few days ago, he and his elder brother were chatting in the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect when Tang San's divine consciousness suddenly transmitted a message to them from the God Realm.

His daughter was about to descend to the mortal world for training, and he entrusted the two of them to take good care of her.

This had delighted him and his brother, as they had not seen Xiao Qi since they descended to the mortal world themselves.

However, once Tang Wutong arrived, both he and his brother felt confused and shocked, unable to understand why Tang San would do such a thing.

Not only had he sealed Tang Wutong's memories of the God Realm, but he had also split her soul into two.

Finally, he had used his divine consciousness to leave instructions for Tang Wutong to first cultivate in the Star Luo Empire for six years before heading to Shrek Academy.

"Big Brother, what exactly is that kid Tang San trying to do? He split Xiao Qi's divine soul in two, and even had us send her to the Sun Moon Empire."

Seeing what Tang San had done, the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, felt extremely angry; after all, what kind of father would split his own daughter's soul in two?

Hearing his second brother's words, the Sky Azure Bull Python, who was sitting above in the main hall of the Clear Sky Sect, shook his head and sighed.

"I am not clear on this matter either. It seems that many things have happened in the mortal world over these years, forcing Tang San to have Xiao Qi descend."

Thinking of this, Er Ming grew even more indignant, so he stopped speaking and waited quietly until they reached Star Luo City.

About an hour later, Er Ming brought Wang Dong into Star Luo City and found a hotel to rest.

At the door of the top-floor suite in the Star Emperor Hotel.

Er Ming told Wang Dong to rest here for the night and wait until tomorrow to report to the Star Luo Royal Academy.

"Xiao Dong, you must be tired after sitting in the carriage for so many days. Get some good rest. We will head to the Star Luo Royal Academy tomorrow."

Seeing the exhaustion in Wang Dong's eyes, Er Ming said with concern.

Hearing her second uncle's care, Wang Dong nodded gently to indicate she understood.

"Mm, I know, Second Uncle. I'm a bit tired, so I'll go in and rest now."

After speaking, Wang Dong entered the room and closed the door behind her.

On the other side, in a pavilion within a courtyard of the White Tiger Duke Mansion.

A middle-aged woman wearing a black long dress sat before a stone table, sipping tea at a leisurely pace.

A servant came running in a hurry from outside, holding a letter.

"My Lady, this is a letter from the Duke for you."

Once the servant reached the outside of the pavilion, he knelt to pay his respects and spoke respectfully to the middle-aged woman before him.

Hearing what the servant said, the middle-aged woman set down her teacup and spoke slowly: "Mm, read the contents of the letter to me."

"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the servant began to read the contents of the letter.

The White Tiger Duchess nearly crushed the teacup in her hand upon hearing what was written.

She never would have imagined that Dai Hao would actually allow a child born of a concubine to study at the primary division of the Star Luo Royal Academy.

The servant reading the letter below saw the expression on the White Tiger Duchess's face and was so terrified he dared not even breathe, fearing he would be implicated.

"Forget it, you may leave now. And deliver this letter to Huo Yun'er and her son."

The White Tiger Duchess rubbed her temples and waved her hand, signaling for the servant to leave quickly.

Hearing the White Tiger Duchess's words, the servant hurriedly bowed to her and walked quickly toward the exit.

"Yes, My Lady, this lowly one will take his leave now."

Just as the servant was rushing out, he saw a golden-haired youth walking in from outside.

Upon seeing the golden-haired youth, the servant bowed respectfully.

"Second Young Master."

Dai Huabin nodded and walked straight toward the pavilion.

Seeing this, the servant slipped away even faster, terrified that if he heard something he shouldn't, he would be killed.

"Huabin, why have you come?" Seeing her son arrive, the White Tiger Duchess composed her expression and said softly.

"Come, sit down quickly." After saying this, she pulled Dai Huabin to sit beside her.

"Mother, I originally came to ask when Big Brother would be returning, but I heard the contents of the letter the moment I arrived."

After sitting down, Dai Huabin answered his mother's question.

"Then, Huabin, do you think we should listen to your father regarding this matter?"

Seeing that her son had heard the contents of the letter, the White Tiger Duchess wanted to see if her son had grown at all while confined.

"Mother, I think that if we want to let a concubine-born disciple enter the Star Luo Royal Academy, it would be an insult to the reputation of the White Tiger Duke Mansion. Wouldn't it be fine to just send that concubine-born child to any other academy?"

Hearing his mother's inquiry, Dai Huabin voiced his own perspective.

The White Tiger Duchess shook her head.

"Your father may be doing this partly out of a sense of debt. But more importantly, it is to let others know that even a concubine-born son of the White Tiger Duke Mansion can attend the Star Luo Royal Academy, thereby enhancing the reputation of our Duke Mansion."

Dai Huabin nodded, though the thought of having a concubine-born son attending the same school as him still made him very angry.

A trace of killing intent even surged in his eyes; he wanted to kill that concubine-born son to wash away the humiliation he had suffered some time ago.

"Alright, Mother still has some matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

"Oh, that's right. As for your older brother, he likely won't return for another two or three months."

The White Tiger Duchess set down her teacup and left the pavilion.

The next day, Star Luo Royal Academy, Dean's office.

Er Ming sat in the guest chair, his burly frame making the otherwise spacious office feel cramped in an instant.

He wore a clean, dark gray robe and had a rugged appearance; just sitting there, he made the Dean feel an invisible sense of oppression.

Standing beside him was a boy who looked no more than six or seven years old, dressed in a brand-new white martial outfit.

His short, powder-blue hair had been meticulously groomed, shimmering with a soft luster under the sunlight streaming in through the window.

The boy's features were excessively delicate, his brows and eyes handsome yet spirited, his skin fair.

The Dean was an elderly man over fifty, surnamed Zhou, who had served as the Dean of the Star Luo Royal Academy for over a decade.

At this moment, he sat behind his desk, holding a recommendation letter that had just been handed to him.

The signature of the recommendation letter bore the official seal of the Clear Sky Sect, causing cold sweat to bead on Dean Zhou's forehead.

Dean Zhou set down the recommendation letter, swallowed hard, and spoke respectfully to Er Ming:

"Sir, the Clear Sky Sect has always remained in seclusion. It is truly an honor for our academy that you are willing to let a disciple of the sect study at our Star Luo Royal Primary Academy."
