Chapter 221 You Ruo's Heart of Seeking the Dao

The main altar, a small pavilion in the heart of the lake.

Xiong Ba came here after finishing his business.

"father!"

A beautiful figure floated out.

It was her daughter, Youruo, who had grown up and was now graceful and elegant, possessing a unique charm.

She was also holding a book in her hand.

"You Ruo, why do you stay here all day? Go out and explore the world."

Xiong Ba tried to persuade him earnestly.

You Ruo smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "Father, I only want to study and cultivate, and occasionally help you manage the World Association."

"My daughter is tired of playing outside. She wants to calm down, read more books, understand the wisdom of the sages and seek the great way. She doesn't want to be too tainted by worldly affairs."

This answer caught Xiong Ba off guard.

His original intention was to groom his daughter to be his successor.

It seems like we succeeded, but it also seems like we went a bit too far.

Because You Ruo is now only focused on seeking the Great Dao, and is even unwilling to inherit the World Society.

In her words, her father was unparalleled, the number one overlord in the world, and the world would belong to him sooner or later.

Now she is focused on pursuing the ethereal Dao and has no interest in worldly affairs.

This frustrated Xiong Ba, as it seemed he had over-trained him.

"But—" Xiong Ba wanted to say something more.

But You Ruo interrupted, saying, "Father, please stop. You have always taught me to focus on the Dao and that worldly matters are just fleeting clouds."

"All imperial ambitions and conquests are ultimately futile, destined to decay and decay. Only the Great Way can bring eternity."

"Your daughter is single-mindedly seeking the Tao and hopes that her father will grant her wish."

You Ruo bowed solemnly.

"Sigh, it's all my fault."

Xiong Ba scratched his head, feeling that he shouldn't have let her develop the desire to seek the Dao.

Now, my daughter is single-mindedly pursuing the Great Dao, but if I don't help her, I won't feel at ease.

I feel like I've misguided their efforts in helping them.

"Fine." After thinking for a moment, Xiong Ba nodded with a wry smile: "I will grant your wish. However, are you sure you are determined to pursue the Great Dao? If you give up halfway, you will achieve nothing."

“Father, your daughter’s heart is set on seeking the Dao.”

You Ruo answered with a firm expression.

Xiong Ba had no choice but to agree, and then said, "Then I will teach you the true method of seeking the Dao. I hope you will not regret it later."

"My daughter has no regrets!"

You Ruo gave a cool and indifferent reply.

"Then I'll grant you your wish."

In the end, Xiong Ba passed on a true Taoist technique to her.

It's just a core piece, a few key points.

"Remember?"

After Xiong Ba finished teaching, he asked a question.

You Ruo was extremely surprised, and said thoughtfully, "Father, I've remembered it."

"Good. In the future, you should study the classics of the various schools of thought more, combine them with this core Daoist method to create your own true Daoist method, and walk a path that belongs to you."

"The path to enlightenment is arduous and perilous, and the journey is long and difficult. You must be diligent and not slack off."

Xiong Ba gave her a serious warning.

"Understood, thank you for your kindness, Father."

You Ruo was deeply moved.

Seeing how old Xiong Ba looked, she suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

After thinking for a moment, You Ruo said, "Father, why don't you marry another woman and have a few younger brothers or sisters? That way you'll have someone to succeed you."

"..."

Xiong Ba was speechless, looking at his daughter Youruo in front of him with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"Don't talk nonsense, your father's heart is as firm as iron—"

Xiong Ba was about to say something.

“But Father, you have no one to inherit your mantle.”

You Ruo replied, then advised, "Look, you've conquered the world, but how can it be passed down without a son?"

"Emperors need sons to inherit their thrones. Father, why don't you marry a few more wives and have a few more brothers to raise properly?"

Xiong Ba resisted the urge to take out a ruler and beat her.

"Alright, you should focus on your cultivation. You don't need to worry about your father's affairs."

He waved his hand, turned around, and left the lakeside cottage.

You Ruo was left alone, watching his departing figure with a slight smile.

“Father, you said that all your ambitions for imperial power will come to nothing. Your daughter has always looked up to you as a role model.”

"Only the Great Way can last forever."

You Ruo had a calm expression, and her aura flowed freely, like a fairy who was untouched by worldly affairs.

She seemed to have grasped the essence of the Dao, and her desire to seek it grew ever stronger.

... ...

Xiong Ba is very troubled because his daughter has been raised incorrectly.

"Fine, I'll pass it on to my eldest disciple, Qin Shuang."

After some thought, Xiong Ba ultimately chose Qin Shuang as his successor.

Of course, it still needs more practice.

"Someone, take these books to the head of Tian Shuang Hall."

"Tell him that he must finish reading these books and write a book report."

Xiong Ba waved his hand and ordered someone to send more than a dozen boxes of books to Qin Shuang.

He also insisted that I must finish reading it.

Qin Shuang was completely bewildered when she received the book.

Looking at the dozen or so boxes of books, I felt like my head was about to explode.

"Young Master, so many books?"

Kong Ci looked at the book in front of her with a surprised expression.

Qin Shuang said with a wry smile, "Kong Ci, this was sent by my master. Could you please tidy it up and put it in the study for me?"

"Okay, young master."

Kong Ci nodded obediently.

The two grew up together and have a very good relationship.

"Master, Shuang'er doesn't want to read."

Qin Shuang bowed bitterly in the direction of the main altar.

But the things and tasks assigned by the master must be completed; this is a concept I've been taught since childhood.

Failure to complete the task will result in penalties.

In the end, Qin Shuang obediently studied, and even wrote a book report after finishing the book.

Once Qin Shuang started reading, she couldn't stop.

Because reading can enlighten and enlighten, and even become more and more interesting the more you read, it has a great effect on your understanding of martial arts.

On the other side, Bu Jingyun sat in his room.

"Young Master Yun, you've just finished your training. Would you like some food?"

Bamboo eyebrows are small and exquisite, a charming and lovely girl.

Bu Jingyun liked her very much.

"Xiao Zhu, no need to rush. Come with me to Feiyun Hall later."

As Bu Jingyun spoke, he put his arm around Zhu Mei.

"Yes, I'll do as Young Master Yun says."

Bamboo Eyebrows nodded gently.

Like him, she had a maidservant who served her from childhood.

The master and servant had a very deep bond.

Like Nie Feng, he was heading to Shenfeng Hall with his maid Qing Shan.

Duan Lang, accompanied by his maid Xingmu, went to take up his post, and he was now in high spirits.

It can be said that his life was basically fulfilling.

the other side.

The Sword Saint of Wushuang City received a challenge from the World Alliance.

In a thatched hut.

The white-haired swordsman stared at the challenge letter in front of him for a long time without saying a word.

He exuded a powerful sword intent, with wisps of sword energy swirling around him, his sharpness unparalleled.

"I don't have much time left, so I'll use Xiong Ba to test the sword move I've been working on."

The swordsman muttered to himself, then opened his eyes wide.

"Tell Xiong Ba that I agree to fight him."

"Three months from now, I will personally go to the headquarters of the World Society to fight against Xiong Ba."

The Sword Saint gave his answer.

The world was in an uproar.

The Sword Saint of Wushuang City and Xiong Ba of the World Society are about to have their final battle.

The news spread, causing a great uproar throughout the country.

... ...

this day.

Just as Xiong Ba was preparing to cultivate, Wen Chou Chou came to report that Nie Feng and Duan Lang had come to see him.

"Master, the Wind Hall Master and the Blazing Flame Hall Master request an audience."

Wen Chou Chou reported in a low voice.

"Let them in."

Xiong Ba nodded, signaling him to bring his men in.

"Meet the Master."

Nie Feng and Duan Lang stepped forward to pay their respects.

He looked the two men up and down and asked, "Feng'er, Lang'er, what brings you here?"

"Master, I want to go into Lingyun Cave with Senior Brother Feng to find our family's treasured sword, the Fire Kirin Sword."

Duan Lang spoke first, explaining his purpose.

Nie Feng hurriedly said, "Master, I also want to enter Lingyun Cave to find the family heirloom sword, Snow Drinking Blade."

Hearing their words, Xiong Ba understood.

He stood up with a smile, patted the two on the shoulders and said, "Very good. Even if you hadn't said anything, I've wanted you to go to Lingyun Cave for a long time."

"Since you've brought it up, let's go. But be very careful, the fire qilin in Lingyun Cave is no joke."

Xiong Ba gave the two some instructions and warnings.

"As ordered!"

"Thank you Master!"

Nie Feng and Duan Lang bowed happily.

Before leaving, Duan Lang paused and suddenly cupped his hands, saying, "Master, a few days ago, Wushuang City sent people to secretly contact me. I captured them and they are in the prison. Please make a decision, Master."

"Oh?" Xiong Ba smiled, patted Duan Lang with satisfaction, and said, "Lang'er, you have extraordinary talent, but your temperament still lacks tempering. You are easily fooled and deceived."

"You can kill those people yourself."

After Xiong Ba finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder and gave him instructions.

"Yes, Master!"

Duan Lang's expression turned solemn, and he bowed and withdrew.

The two left the World Society and headed towards Lingyun Cave.

"Peerless City, Lonely One Side, you have already chosen your own death."

A smile crept onto Xiong Ba's lips, his eyes blazing with murderous intent.
