Before Xia Xiang left, even the oblivious Wang Dadong noticed something was amiss and said he wanted to travel through the time portal to find her, but was stopped by everyone.
Later, Xiu came and, after hearing them mention it, told them that Xia Xiang was very likely in the Silver Dimension.
So Wang Da Dong begged Xiu to take them to the Silver Dimension, but they ended up getting into trouble.
Because of their mistake, Liu Bei in the Silver Dimension was seriously injured. Xiu, being Liu Bei's clone, was temporarily left behind by the others to stabilize the order of the timeline.

"Reporting to the Principal, a woman requests an audience. She says that if she tells you her surname is Ye, you will understand," the guard reported.
"Surname Ye?" Sun Jian pulled down his reading glasses, paused for two seconds, and said calmly, "Let her in."
"yes"
"Surname Ye? I wonder where my uncle has been these past few days." Sun Jian casually flipped through the newspaper, not paying much attention.
After the guards brought the person in, Sun Jian ordered all the guards to leave, leaving only himself and the woman surnamed Ye.
The woman appeared to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She wore a simple long-sleeved black dress that reached her calves, and matching Martin boots. Her long brown hair was styled in large waves and held in place by a red ribbon.
Her features were striking and elegant, giving her a sharp and commanding presence. Even standing before Sun Jian, a man in a higher position, she showed no fear, smiling with her eyes crinkling as she calmly looked at him.
"Who are you?" Sun Jian asked, putting down his newspaper.
"Excuse me, I should introduce myself first." The woman raised her well-defined hand, gently covering her mouth with her fingertips and smiled. The red nail polish on her fair fingers did not look tacky.
The woman sat down opposite Sun Jian with a rather calm demeanor and spoke in a flat tone,
“My name is Yehenara Siwu, and I am your younger sister. It’s nice to meet you, Second Brother Siwu.”
Sun Jian's expression remained unchanged, but his aura suddenly intensified.
Yehenara Siwu, also known as Xia Xiang, smiled in response, without even raising her martial arts level, and simply watched him quietly.
They are all smart people; there's no need to ask pointless questions.
“As far as I know, that old man doesn’t have a daughter,” Sun Jian said coldly after scrutinizing Xia Xiang again.
"Then who am I?" Xia Xiang asked, pointing to herself.
"Don't you have any proof of who you are?" Sun Jian asked with a sneer.
"I don't need proof," Xia Xiang said indifferently, lowering her eyes and impatiently straightening her skirt. "I didn't come here to be brothers with you and rekindle our family ties."
“We Yehenara people are inherently cold-hearted. If you really cared so much about family ties, why would you be here?”
Sun Jian glared fiercely at Xia Xiang, his eyes blazing with barely concealed hatred.
"What's the point of glaring at me?" Xia Xiang twirled a stray hair behind her ear with her slender fingers, shrugged, and said nonchalantly, "I'm here to discuss cooperation."
Sun Jian raised an eyebrow, signaling Xia Xiang to continue.
"To show my sincerity, let me first provide some information you don't know," Xia Xiang said, still smiling.
"The old man you mentioned is dead, Yehenara Xiongfeng is dead, and the entire second branch of the family except for Yehenara Sisi was wiped out. The Yehenara family is now controlled by Xia Yu, the eldest son of our good brother Ye Siren. The ultimate Iron Man of the Iron Dimension has been born, and there are two more."
"How could my uncle be dead?!" Sun Jian asked.
"Oh, he was killed by Xia Yu of the Xia Lanxingde family," Xia Xiang replied.
"Why is Ye Siren's son named Xia Yu?" Sun Jian asked, puzzled.
"He was the eldest son of the largest demonized family, who abolished his superpowers and demonic arts and married into the righteous superpowered family, Xia Lanxingde," Xia Xiang said with a mocking expression.
"How do we cooperate?" Sun Jian was in a complicated mood. He had thought the one who was left behind was some extraordinary genius, but it turned out he had married into the legitimate world? He wondered if that old man would regret giving him up.
"I want my share," Xia Xiang said firmly, making no attempt to hide the greed in her eyes.
"Weren't we talking about cooperation? Why are we discussing profit sharing first?" Sun Jian couldn't help but feel contemptuous when he saw the greed practically overflowing in her eyes.
“I only like relationships based on mutual benefit, so let’s agree on how to split the profits first, then we can talk about how to cooperate.” Xia Xiang leaned back lazily in her chair. “Second brother, you have to understand, you’re not my only choice.”
“Brother Sisi would be more suitable, but he lacks a sense of contract and is all talk and no action. It would take me longer to achieve my goal, and I don’t want to wait that long.”
“You’re a smart man, and my value is definitely higher than you think.”
After thinking for a long time, Sun Jian finally asked the question he had just asked, "How come that old man has a daughter?"
"Who knows?" Xia Xiang said, trying to hide her sadness with her eyes lowered.
"When he pushed me into this arranged marriage, I had no idea that my father, who had abandoned me long ago and died many years ago, would come back to us. What do you think, second brother?"
"After all, nobody in the Iron Dimension knew he had another son. You and I are both the abandoned ones..."
"Shut up!" Sun Jian closed his eyes, concealing the anger in them.
"Hehehe—" Xia Xiang was not intimidated by Sun Jian's anger and burst out laughing.
"Second brother, if we're going to cooperate, we'd better show some respect. You know best what the Yehenara family is like, right? If I'm unhappy, I don't know what I might do."
“I have no patience. You’d better check it quickly. I really can’t wait to take revenge on all of them.”
Xia Xiang finished speaking and didn't linger. She turned and left, the sound of her shoes hitting the floor like the tolling of a countdown clock, each step striking Sun Jian's heart.
"Wait," Sun Jian called to Xia Xiang, who had already stepped out the door, "You'll stay here as a distant relative of your uncle."
"I will check in three days whether our cooperation is necessary."
Xia Xiang pouted, pretended to think about it for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.
