During the brief interval before the next doubles match began, a little incident unfolded unnoticed in the VIP section of the stands.
Tang Wutong silently appeared behind Dai Tianling, emperor of the Star Luo Empire.
Feeling that familiar, supremely exalted presence, Dai Tianling shuddered and abruptly turned around. When he saw that face, which bore some resemblance to his ancestor Huo Yuhao yet was younger and breathtakingly beautiful, the confusion in his eyes instantly turned to profound reverence.
He immediately rose and bowed deeply, not even caring that other nobles were nearby.
"Ancestor! What guidance do you have for me?"
Dai Tianling kept his voice very low, but his awe was unmistakable.

Faced with this ancestor from the Divine Realm, Dai Tianling dared not hide anything.
He scratched his head, looking rather uneasy, as though he had returned to his childhood and was being lectured by an elder.
"Ancestor, my daughter's other martial soul... is Spirit Eyes."
"Spirit Eyes?"
Tang Wutong raised her brows slightly, a spark of curiosity flashing through her eyes.
She looked Dai Tianling up and down, her tone carrying a hint of amusement. "Interesting. A princess of the Star Luo Empire with the Spirit Eyes martial soul... tell me, what connection does she have to my husband, Huo Yuhao?"
At the mention of Huo Yuhao's name, Dai Tianling distinctly felt the air around him
