Then, Xiong Ba turned his head to look at You Ruo, his expression solemn.
“You Ruo, I’ve made arrangements with a member from the group chat. I plan to send you to the world he resides in.
His name is Zhang Sanfeng, a member of the Wudang Sect.”
Upon hearing this, You Ruo was slightly stunned, her face showing surprise.
“Father, the Zhang Sanfeng you mentioned—could it be the very Zhang Sanfeng I know?”
Xiong Ba nodded.
“Exactly. However, their world is different from ours.
It’s a world dominated by dynasties, where the land has yet to fracture, and martial prowess is far weaker than in our world. If you go there, not only will you be safe, but I’ll also feel more at ease.”
Though curious about the other world, You Ruo was more concerned about her father and quickly said,
“Father, I don’t want to go. I want to stay here with you! Even if the Outer Realm Demons truly attack, I’m willing to live and die with you!”
Xiong Ba shook his head in refusal.
“You Ruo, absolutely not. Those Outer Realm Demons are well-versed in our world. They were long suppressed in their original realms, and with the aid of systems after crossing over, they’ve become increasingly reckless and brazen.
They not only delight in conquest and power, but also covet beauties from all worlds.
Staying here is too dangerous for you, and you’ll become my weakness.
It’s best you go to Zhang Sanfeng’s world and lay low for now. And don’t worry about me.
Earlier, I had reached an agreement with a powerful group member. As soon as Duan Lang attacks the Tianxia Society, he will come to aid me.”
Still uneasy, You Ruo asked anxiously,
“Father, is that true? Will your group friend really come help you?”
Xiong Ba’s gaze was resolute.
“You Ruo, though I’ve once restricted your freedom, you know I would never lie to you.”
Only then did You Ruo reluctantly nod.
“Alright then, Father. Please stay safe.”
Seeing his daughter agree, Xiong Ba finally let out a breath of relief.
You Ruo also knew she couldn’t become her father’s burden. Deep inside, she regretted not training harder earlier. Her current lack of strength left her unable to protect him at such a critical time.
Xiong Ba looked toward the group chat and sent a message.
Xiong Ba: “Daoist Zhang, I’m sending my daughter to your world now. I’ll be counting on you to take care of her.”
Zhang Sanfeng: “No need for courtesy. We’re all group members—it’s only right to help one another.”
With that, Xiong Ba no longer hesitated.
He spent 200 points to purchase two Teleportation Talismans.
Then, he grasped You Ruo’s hand and silently recited in his heart.
“Group Chat, teleport to group member Zhang Sanfeng’s world.”
“Ding! Teleporting...”
In an instant, they felt a wave of disorientation before their forms vanished.
When their vision returned, they found themselves within a grand hall.
At that moment, an elderly Daoist with white hair and a ruddy complexion stood with a horsetail whisk in hand, calmly observing their arrival.
Xiong Ba led You Ruo forward and cupped his hands in greeting.
“Daoist Zhang, this is my daughter You Ruo. Please look after her.”
Zhang Sanfeng nodded kindly.
“Rest assured, Chief Xiong. You Ruo can treat this place as her own home.”
You Ruo was curiously surveying her surroundings, marveling at the wonder of the teleportation experience.
Her own world also had a Wudang Sect, powerful and renowned, but the Zhang Sanfeng of that realm had long since passed away.
Now, seeing a living Zhang Sanfeng before her, You Ruo was filled with curiosity.
In her original world, Zhang Sanfeng was a legendary figure in the martial arts world, whose presence alone had once deterred chaos and upheld peace.
Sadly, she was born too late to witness that era.
Yet the Zhang Sanfeng of this alternate world inspired just as much respect.
You Ruo hurriedly bowed.
“Junior You Ruo greets Master Zhang.”
Zhang Sanfeng waved his hand gently.
“No need for formality, You Ruo. Consider Wudang your home.”
You Ruo nodded obediently in response.
Xiong Ba saw his daughter getting along well with Zhang Sanfeng and nodded in satisfaction.
“You Ruo, stay on Mount Wudang for now. I must return.”
He dared not linger long on Mount Wudang. After all, in their world, the transmigrator Duan Lang could launch an attack on the Tianxia Society at any moment—he had to return swiftly to respond.
Though You Ruo was full of reluctance, she still nodded and reminded him again and again.
“Father, you must be careful! If there's danger, use the same method we just used to come to our world!”
Xiong Ba reassured her warmly,
“Don’t worry, You Ruo. I know what I’m doing.”
Only then did You Ruo feel slightly at ease.
Xiong Ba once again cupped his hands in gratitude toward Zhang Sanfeng, then purchased another Teleportation Talisman and silently recited in his heart.
“Group Chat, return to the original world.”
As soon as the words fell, his figure instantly vanished from the Wudang Hall.
You Ruo stared in the direction where her father had disappeared. Her eyes immediately welled up with tears, crystalline droplets spinning at the edges of her eyes, her heart filled with worry for Xiong Ba.
Seeing this, Zhang Sanfeng comforted her gently.
“You Ruo, you should not worry too much. Your father is highly skilled in martial arts; ordinary people are no match for him. Besides, he has an agreement with the experts in the group. If he truly cannot hold off that transmigrator, someone will surely come to his aid. You can rest assured.”
Only then did You Ruo nod slightly and bow to thank him.
“Many thanks, Master Zhang.”
Zhang Sanfeng smiled and waved it off.
“No need to be so polite.”
You Ruo’s eyes roamed around the Wudang Hall, brimming with curiosity at everything around her.
She had previously been confined to a lakeside cottage and had never had the chance to venture out and explore.
Now, her heart yearned to wander freely. Her gaze was tinged with nervousness, but also filled with anticipation.
Zhang Sanfeng saw through her thoughts at a glance and asked with a smile,
“You Ruo, would you like to go out and take a walk?”
You Ruo nodded eagerly, her eyes sparkling with longing.
“Master Zhang, may I?”
“Of course.”
Zhang Sanfeng readily agreed, then led You Ruo out of the main hall.
The two Wudang disciples standing guard outside the sect’s main hall were stunned when they saw Zhang Sanfeng emerge with a beautiful young woman by his side.
The Wudang Sect rarely hosted female guests—let alone one personally accompanied by Zhang Sanfeng himself.
This scene sparked a flurry of speculation among the Wudang disciples about You Ruo’s identity.
You Ruo, however, was cheerful and outgoing, greeting the disciples warmly and openly.
As they walked, Zhang Sanfeng guided You Ruo through the Wudang grounds while introducing various sights to her.
Whenever disciples asked, he would say:
“She’s the daughter of a good friend of mine, staying on Mount Wudang for a while.”
Meanwhile, Xiong Ba had returned to his original world.
Gazing at the now pitch-black sky, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and a trace of relief welled up in his heart.
