• Xiao Tian scanned the assembled Xiao Family members and identified Xiao Tianxuan as a reincarnation of Xiao Wanshan.
• Elder Xiao Ziang objected that Xiao Tianxuan was an outstanding young clansman, so Xiao Tian took him aside and used the Tensei Jōgan to probe his memories.

• Several days later, Xiao Tian and his companions arrived in Tushan, where Tushan Yaya questioned his certainty that Hai Tianxin was there.
