Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Hongfei still hasn't figured out a way to install the array plate and open the teleportation array.

"Oh~~~"

"Why do you have so many worries at such a young age? Are you missing Lu Xiaofeng?" Hua Manlou shook his head and smiled silently as he teased Hong Fei after hearing her sigh.

Hong Fei rolled her eyes at Hua Manlou and muttered, "I wasn't thinking about Lu Xiaofeng. Sigh..."

"If you didn't think of Lu Xiaofeng, then why are you sighing like that?" Hua Manlou asked, puzzled.

Hongfei glanced at Hua Manlou, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Sigh..." Hongfei sighed again. Then she fell into a daze again.

Hua Manlou knew Hong Fei had started spacing out again when he didn't hear her speak. Ever since she returned from shopping a month ago, she'd often been lost in thought the day afterward. He'd never taken care of a child before and didn't know what to do. Fortunately, Hong Fei didn't cry or make a fuss; she just kept spacing out. When asked what was wrong, she wouldn't say, only sighing. Hua Manlou was truly at his wit's end.

Hongfei's mind was in complete chaos. For the past month, she had been utterly at a loss. She had even considered sneaking away, but each time she was discovered before she even reached the gate.

Hongfei knew that in modern times she was just an ordinary, useless person. She was truly hopeless at things that required thinking. Why was she chosen? And to make matters worse, she was turned into a child, making everything inconvenient. So annoying!

Hongfei suddenly turned her head and looked at Hua Manlou. She wasn't clever herself, but there were clever people out there. After spending the past month together, Hongfei knew that Hua Manlou was just like the character in the novel—a gentle, kind, principled person who loved life. He was a very reliable and trustworthy friend.

Furthermore, since Hong Fei wanted Hua Manlou to become the successor of Wanhua Valley, she would definitely have to tell Hua Manlou about the world of Jianwang 3 in the future. Why not tell Hua Manlou now and ask for his help? Hong Fei made up her mind and decided to tell Hua Manlou the whole story and ask for his help.

Hong Fei took a deep breath and sat solemnly in the chair, looking at Hua Manlou. Hua Manlou, who had been resting with his eyes closed on the recliner, heard Hong Fei's movement and opened his eyes, turning his head to look in Hong Fei's direction.

"Hua Manlou, I have something very important I'd like to ask for your help with," Hong Fei said, thinking she was being very serious.

"Oh, is there anything I can help you with?" Hua Manlou heard Hong Fei's seemingly serious but actually childish voice. He wanted to laugh, but held it in. After all, Hua Manlou was a gentle person.

Hong Fei, still thinking she was being very serious, said, "Hua Manlou, actually I am not from this world."

Hearing Hong Fei's words, Hua Manlou was taken aback. But he still asked gently, "Then which world is Hong Fei from?" He clearly didn't believe Hong Fei's words. After all, who would believe a five-year-old child saying such things?

“I’m serious, and I’m not actually five years old,” Hong Fei explained to Hua Manlou.

It took Hong Fei a long time to finally convince Hua Manlou that she was not from this world, and that she was not a five-year-old child.

After listening to Hong Fei's explanation for a while, Hua Manlou concluded, "So you're saying that you came to our world because you became the spokesperson for the JX3 world? You need to travel to many worlds that trade with the JX3 world to facilitate the integration of their rules and promote the evolution and upgrade of the JX3 world. Is that right?"

Hongfei affirmed, "Yes!"

Hua Manlou continued, "Your true age isn't that of a five-year-old child, but an adult. However, because your soul strength is too weak, when the world's consciousness used rules to form your body, it resulted in such a small body because of your soul. Is that right?"

Hongfei praised Hua Manlou, saying, "Hua Manlou, your summary is excellent; that's exactly it."

"The way to facilitate the integration of the rules of the two worlds is to find suitable successors for sects in the JX3 world within our world. Then, find a spatial teleportation point and establish a teleportation array. Take the successor you find and use the teleportation array to go to the JX3 world to join a sect and learn skills, right?" Hua Manlou continued to ask.

Hongfei nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, that's absolutely right."

“And this world is just your starting point. You will travel to other worlds in the future, right?” Hua Manlou said.

Hongfei looked at Hua Manlou with admiration and said, "That's exactly right, Hua Manlou, you're so good at summarizing."

Hua Manlou then asked Hong Fei, "Why did you choose to tell me these things now?"

Hongfei scratched her head sheepishly and said, "I mainly need your help with something."

Hua Manlou asked curiously, "Oh! Is there anything I can help you with?"

Hong Fei looked at Hua Manlou and said, "Actually, when we went shopping last time, I already came across a coordinate point."

Hua Manlou asked in surprise, "You've encountered the coordinates? When?"

"The coordinates were on the small dock outside the window when we were eating at that restaurant by the Slender West Lake," Hong Fei replied to Hua Manlou.

Hua Manlou thought about how Hong Fei had been sighing ever since she returned from shopping that day. Could it be because of that coordinate point? With that thought in mind, Hua Manlou asked, "Hong Fei, is it because of this that you've been sighing these past few days?"

Hongfei looked at Hua Manlou with resentment and said, "Yes, I originally wanted to secretly open that teleportation array. But you wouldn't let anyone go out, so I had no way to open it."

Hua Manlou was at a loss for words when he heard Hong Fei's complaints.

Then Hong Fei said, "Hua Manlou, there is actually a place called Wanhua Valley in the world of JX3."

Hua Manlou, upon hearing Hong Fei's words, did not understand why he specifically mentioned this place.

Then Hong Fei said, "There is a lineage in the Wan Hua sect called Xing Lin, which is descended from the Medicine King Sun Simiao. Their eldest disciple, Pei Yuan, is known as 'the one who doesn't heal the living.' The claim of bringing the dead back to life and healing flesh and bones might be a bit of an exaggeration. But curing your eyes should be no problem."

Upon hearing Hong Fei's words, even Hua Manlou's eyes widened involuntarily. Since being blinded by his injuries, Hua Manlou had consulted countless renowned doctors, all of whom declared him beyond help. Even the legendary physician Song Baicao couldn't cure him. Hua Manlou had given up hope of regaining his sight. Now, Hong Fei was telling him he could heal his eyes. How could he not be astonished?

"Don't disbelieve me, I'm serious. And I think you're particularly suited to be the successor of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers lineage. You and the senior brothers and sisters of the Valley of a Thousand Flowers have a very similar temperament." They're all cunning and manipulative, but deep down they're all ruthless. Hong Fei dared not say the second half of that. After all, she had been learning from Hua Manlou's perverse sense of humor over the past month!

"What do you mean, real or fake? Who does Hua Manlou look like?" Lu Xiaofeng's voice suddenly reached Hongfei and Hua Manlou's ears.

Looking in the direction the sound came from, they saw Lu Xiaofeng standing on the balcony, stroking his beard with one hand and holding a pot of wine in the other, smiling at the two of them.

"It seems you two get along well. I thought it would be chaotic."

"Lu Xiaofeng, what are you saying? This is slander, slander, do you understand?" Hongfei was so angry at Lu Xiaofeng's words that she jumped up and down. Who would cause such a commotion? It's outrageous!

"Aren't all children like this?" Lu Xiaofeng said as he found a chair and sat down, watching Hongfei jump up and down.

"I won't, I'm not a child."

“Yes, yes, you’re not a little kid, you’re a five-year-old big kid,” Lu Xiaofeng said deliberately.

"So annoying!" Hong Fei's face was round with anger. Hua Manlou listened with a smile as he heard Lu Xiaofeng deliberately teasing Hong Fei.
