Sun Family Estate.

Master Sun looked left and right, waiting for other Taoists from Chongyang Palace, but instead, an unfamiliar Taoist showed up. He looked to be in his late twenties, tall with long limbs and wide palms.

These features all indicated that this person was a very talented practitioner.

"I am Zhang Junbao, I've met Master Sun." The young man politely greeted Master Sun.

Xu Qing, standing nearby, slightly stirred when he heard the name.

Zhang Junbao?

Zhang Sanfeng?

Could this be one of the projections of the True Martial self?

Encountering a projection of True Martial in this world certainly gave Xu Qing the feeling that the gears of fate had started to turn.

He chimed in, "Friend Zhang, have you ever stayed at Shaoshi Mountain?"

"Yes." Zhang Junbao nodded.

"Was your teacher Master Jue Yuan? When you left the mountain, were you accompanied by a brother, Dong Tianbao?" Xu Qing asked again.

Zhang Junbao: "Indeed, my teacher is Master Jue Yuan, but as for Dong Tianbao, I've never heard of him."

Xu Qing nodded to himself, thinking this was not the Zhang Junbao from "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng."

Then which version was he?

But no matter which version, Zhang Junbao's appearance in the worldly society was destined to make him the pinnacle of combat power.

Zhang Junbao then said to Master Sun, "I was sent here by a senior Daoist from Chongyang Palace, who mentioned that your esteemed house currently has a Daoist named Xu, also from Chongyang Palace. He asked me to send his regards to Daoist Xu. May I know where I can find Daoist Xu?"

"I am Xu Qing, from Chongyang Palace." Xu Qing explained proactively before Master Sun could speak.

Zhang Junbao smiled and said, "I thought you might be extraordinary, and indeed it's you."

Xu Qing: "Friend Zhang, you flatter me."

Master Sun smiled from the side and said, "Both of you are young talents of today's era. You seem to get along well upon meeting, how about you have a chat in the drawing room? I will continue entertaining other guests from the martial arts community. Is that alright?"

"Please do, Master Sun." Xu Qing replied.

Master Sun then arranged for someone to entertain Xu Qing and Zhang Junbao, offering them snacks and tea...

The two arrived at the drawing room first. Inside, there were already a few people from the worldly society, though most of them didn't seem formidable.

These people mostly came to join in on the excitement.

Xu Qing and Zhang Junbao took their seats and casually asked about the background of the Daoist who sent Zhang Junbao.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Junbao couldn't provide an answer; he just inexplicably trusted the person.

Xu Qing found it a bit odd but couldn't pinpoint the issue. He then discussed martial arts questions with Zhang Junbao.

As soon as he spoke, Zhang Junbao's words flowed endlessly.

Even someone with Xu Qing's insight couldn't help but find some inspiration.

It wasn't that Zhang Junbao's theories were particularly profound or mysterious, but rather that certain details were worth pondering over.

These could fill gaps in Xu Qing's own martial arts cultivation.

Not that they would affect his combat power, but they could make his moves smoother and more seamless.

Ultimately, this world is a low martial world with its own set of rules.

Xu Qing's methods from the Taixu Universe wouldn't work in this world due to completely different rules.

Zhang Junbao was equally interested in Xu Qing, not in a regretful, late-meeting way, but rather finding it comfortable and pressure-free talking with Xu Qing.

He left Shaoshi Mountain, only to see people in the world endlessly pursuing fame and fortune, demanding various things from life.

After all, one has to achieve something.

Or engage in gossip and commentary...

Before meeting Xu Qing, only the Daoist gave him a similar feeling.

That is, neither of them lived for others' recognition.

Compared to Xu Qing, the Daoist was actually more extreme, not even caring about his own recognition, living spontaneously and freely. Beyond life and death, yet still able to enjoy the worldly world.

This aspect was something Zhang Junbao admired.

He still had his own ideas, wanting to accomplish something, and he hated the Mongols, also wishing to establish a martial arts sect with a status akin to Shaolin Temple...

He already heard about Mr. He Zudao establishing the Kunlun Sect.

Zhang Junbao had even decided on the location of his sect—Wudang Mountain.

Because it wasn't far from Xiangyang.

Speaking of Wudang Mountain, he had been there in seclusion for martial arts training for several years. After coming out of seclusion, he met a young master.

The person looked much like Young Master Yuan Feng from the Yuans of Guanzhong.

But the Daoist said he wasn't.

Zhang Junbao knew the Daoist wouldn't be mistaken, so he didn't dwell on it.

Moreover, from his martial arts, Young Master Yuan wasn't at the top level.

What defines the top then?

In Zhang Junbao's mind were images of his master, Jue Yuan, and the Mongolian general, Guo Kan...

However, he felt he was soon to surpass them.

He and Xu Qing chatted happily, and without realizing it, nighttime came.

The hall was crowded.

And the Sun family's young lady, staying behind a screen in the hall, was being guarded by Sun family's maid. Outside the whole hall, there were numerous house servants and guards on duty, even on the roof.

It could be said to be tightly guarded.

However, the other Taoists from Chongyang Palace hadn't arrived.

Master Sun suspected there was a problem with the messenger.

Fortunately, he had preparations, namely the renowned detective from Guanzhong, Beidou.

Beidou was a lay disciple of Qingliang Temple on Wutai Mountain.

This Qingliang Temple was famous in the previous dynasty, even more respected than Shaoshi Mountain in the Buddhist realm. Also, during the Liang Mountain gathering in the previous dynasty, Lu Tixie practiced for a while at Qingliang Temple, holding a significant place in the hearts of people from the worldly society.

Beidou sat silently in the drawing room, not speaking.

He sat in meditation, peaceful and composed.

Evidently, as a renowned detective from Guanzhong, he had witnessed many grand occasions.
