Zhang Tie had been taught by his parents since he was young. Not to mention that Heavens Fortune Sect really helped Zhang Clan tide over the most difficult years in the crisis. Therefore, Zhang Tie appreciated it sincerely. His promise was definitely powerful and sincere. It was Zhang Tie's first time to say that to someone in such a solemn way.
Although the knight of Heavens Fortune Sect had been in Zhang family for a few years, it seemed that Zhang family had not experienced any big storms and the knight of Heavens Fortune Sect didn't really fight for Zhang family. Actually, Heavens Fortune Sect could definitely frighten those rascals who wanted to plot against Zhang family by taking Zhang Tie's son as their apprentice and assigning an earth knight to Zhang family at the critical moment.
Additionally, Zhang Tie had not imagined that Feng Cangwu could guarantee for him with his cultivation base in Heavens Fortune Sect. Such a friend was like Mountain Lifting Hermit, who could always take care of Zhang Tie sincerely at the critical moment.
For such a friend and the great favor of Heavens Fortune Sect, a promise was nothing. If there was such a day, Zhang Tie would definitely fight for Heavens Fortune Sect at the risk of his life without even frowning.
Watching the sincerity and firmness on Zhang Tie's enviably young face, Zhou Hongbang was also a bit moved. As the saying went, a gentleman's words could never be taken back. Zhou Hongbang could tell that Zhang Tie's words were not empty words.
"Elder Mushen, you're too polite!" The earth knight of Heavens Fortune Sect also cupped his hands towards Zhang Tie solemnly as he said, "As Elder Mushen has returned to Jinwu City with powerhouses, I don't need to stay in Zhang family from now on. The catastrophe of bloody figures has broken out across Taixia Country, especially in the neighboring provinces of Heavens Fortune Sect. All the knight-level powerhouses of Heavens Fortune Sect have gone to those provinces by turns to exterminate the troops of bloody figures. I've already reported it to Heavens Fortune Sect yesterday. The elders of Heavens Fortune Sect have already allowed me to return to Heavens Fortune Sect from Youzhou Province and exterminate all the bloody figures on the way!"
Although Zhang Tie didn't know what secret method this knight of Heavens Fortune Sect had, he estimated that this earth knight of Heavens Fortune Sect had already known the real battle strength of Zhang Gui. Therefore, he was ready to leave. At a time like this, the Heavenly Mysteries Sect did things cleanly. There was no need for him to force them to stay or act like a little girl.
"Since Sage Zhou wants to leave, I, Zhang Tie, will not stop you. I'll give you an item to strengthen your physique and help you kill more bloody figures of demons to ensure the safety of this region!" Zhang Tie said as he threw a glance at Zhou Hongbang's wrists and some fine marks between his thumb and index finger. Closely after that, a grim and powerful long saber with red light appeared in Zhang Tie's hand in a split second. With the flickering luster over the saber, the image of a fierce saber-toothed tiger was looming in the luster. Additionally, the moment the long saber appeared, the temperature in the parlor had increased by a few degrees. The saber slightly quivered and rang as if a fierce tiger was going to break free from its shackles and charge out. At the same time, a faint tiger roar drifted from the saber. With the perception of an earth knight, Zhang Tie could clearly sense the powerful surging fire strength on the long saber.
This was a silver secret saber, which was definitely a top item among silver secret items.
As he was too close to this silver secret saber, Zhou Hongbang's face turned red under the luster of this saber as if he was being roasted beside a fire pit.
"No, it's too precious!" The earth knight of Heavens Fortune Sect hurriedly declined. To be honest, very few earth knights in Heavens Fortune Sect could take out such a high-level silver secret item.
"Hermit, do you think Zhang Tie and Zhang family's sincerity couldn't match a dead item?" Zhang Tie turned solemn at once, "Friends should be loyal to each other. A silver secret item is nothing. If Hermit doesn't accept it, it means that Hermit and Heavens Fortune Sect look down on Zhang Tie and feel that Zhang Tie is not even qualified to be friends with Heavens Fortune Sect; perhaps Hermit thinks that Zhang Tie's safety is not as important as a silver secret item. If so, Zhang Tie will pick up my son from Heavens Fortune Sect tomorrow and will not seek for connections with them anymore."
Zhou Hongbang gazed at Zhang Tie for a short while before nodding solemnly. Closely after that, he put away the silver secret saber.
After watching Zhou Hongbang put away the silver secret item, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "Now that Hermit is going back to Heavens Fortune Sect, I have one more thing to ask Hermit. Is Brother Cangwu in Heavens Fortune Sect recently?"
"Martial nephew Cangwu practiced in the Earth-elements Realm a few years ago. As the catastrophe of bloody figures broke out in Taixia Country, Heavens Fortune Sect had already called back all the knights who were practicing in the Earth-elements Realm. Martial nephew Cangwu might be on the way back to Heavens Fortune Sect!"
"If so, I have one more thing to ask Hermit to give to Brother Cangwu!" Zhang Tie said as he moved his hand. Closely after that, a silver secret long sword appeared in Zhang Tie's hand. Being different than that treasured saber, this long sword was like a blurred light and shadow. Given its look, it could definitely match that of that treasured saber. Perhaps, it had some special ability.
Despite Zhou Hongbang's experience in Heavens Fortune Sect, he was still dumbfounded at this moment. It was already out of his imagination that Zhang Tie could take out a silver secret item. He had not imagined that Zhang Tie could take out another one without even blinking his eyes.
'Silver secret items, silver secret items are not rune weapons that could be bought with some gold coins. How could an earth knight gift two silver secret items so casually? Zhang Tie is definitely a local tyrant among knights.' Watching the two silver secret items in front of him, the earth knight of Heavens Fortune Sect felt like having a dream.
Finally, Zhou Hongbang put away the two silver secret items at the same time. Closely after that, he took out a finger ring and a small crystal and gave them to Zhang Tie, saying, "This is the remote-sensing communications finger ring of Elder Qingfeng in Heavens Fortune Sect. Elder Mushen's three sons are all taught by Elder Qingfeng in Heavens Fortune Sect. You could contact Elder Qingfeng directly with this!"
The crystal contained the password for contacting Elder Qingfeng and the secret code for confirming the identities of both parties. It was a wisp of pure, powerful spiritual energy. The moment Zhang Tie injected his spiritual energy into the crystal, the content of the spiritual energy had entered Zhang Tie's mind automatically. At the same time, the spiritual energy inside the crystal disappeared completely. At the same time, the crystal was broken into pieces. It seemed to be a secret method of Heavens Fortune Sect. The information inside the crystal was marked by the special spiritual wave. It could only be read once by one person. If others wanted to read it secretly, they could not recover the crystal after reading it once; neither could they copy the same information. There was a similar method in Bloody Soul Sutra. However, Zhang Tie could not learn it until he had formed his water chakra and promoted to a shadow knight.
Zhang Tie then put away this remote-sensing finger ring which could be used to contact the management of Heavens Fortune Sect. As a result, he had one more remote-sensing equipment.
…
A few minutes later, after talking with Zhang Tie for a while and bidding farewell to Zhang Tie's parents and Zhang Yang, this earth knight of Heavens Fortune Sect directly rushed into the sky from Zhang Mansion and flew towards the south of Jinwu City in the heavy wind and snow. All the members of Zhang family came here to bid farewell to him.
Watching that grey spot gradually disappearing in the sky, Zhang family members moved their eyes away from the sky.
Zhang Tie turned around and watched his parents. All of a sudden, he revealed a greedy look, "Mom, it's actually suitable for a family to eat hotpot in such a weather. How about having hotpot today?"
Zhang Tie's mom became stunned for a second. After exchanging a glance with Zhang Tie's dad, she revealed an affectionate smile. She watched Zhang Tie like how she watched her son in Blackhot City over 10 years ago, "You want to eat hotpot?"
"Yea!" Zhang Tie revealed a bitter look as he rubbed his belly, "Previously, I thought that I could have a full meal at home; I've not imagined that I would be hungry at home. Last night, I was not full at all. At the beginning, I was talking with the old man, eldest uncle and aunts; later on, my cousins and 70-80 nephews and nieces came here to toast with me one after another. They all called me uncle. I couldn't ignore them; however, I couldn't just eat. Therefore, I'm not full at all. My belly is still growling. When I recall the hotpot that mom cooked in winter in Blackhot City and mom's rice brew, I couldn't help drooling!"
Bai Suxian watched Zhang Tie with an interested look. It was her first time to see Zhang Tie's naughty look at home. When she recalled how domineering Zhang Tie was in the Earth-elements Realm with her and compared it with his current look, Bai Suxian felt pretty fresh.
"Fine, let's eat hotpot then!" Zhang Tie's mom, elder sisters-in-law and wives burst out into laughter at the same time, "I will cook a hotpot for you at home today!"
"Coincidentally, I'm also at home today. As Jinwu City is on the annual vacation, I will help your mom!" Zhang Tie's dad also burst out into laughter.
"I will prepare the ingredients!" Zhang Yang said with a smile.
"Like before, I will light the fire …" Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he threw a glance at Wang Huizhen, his eldest sister-in-law, "Eldest sister-in-law, you make the best chili sauce and cold dishes. You have to cook them today. I've not eaten your dishes for a long time!"
Wang Huizhen replied with a smile. Meanwhile, she threw a grateful glance at Zhang Tie. Wang Huizhen knew that as long as Zhang Tie called her eldest sister-in-law and remembered her dishes, her position and her two sons' positions at home would be unshakable and unshakable no matter how common her background was.
Among the 3 wives of Zhang Yang, Wang Huizhen had the most common background. She didn't have a good look; the other two were a bit better than her; especially after the new year festival, Zhang Yang would unite with Zhu Clan in Yanzhou Province by marriage. Zhang Yang's 4th wife, whom Wang Huizhen had not met before, had a great background. That was a real clan with a provincial governor, a major clan in Taixia Country, not to mention her look, figure and temperament. As a woman, Wang Huizhen had a deep sense of crisis at home. Zhang Yang had too many wives. Even though Zhang Yang was not a heartless person, a woman's position at home was delicate. Of course, Wang Huizhen had a deep feeling about how to support her position as the first wife of Zhang Clan.
After exchanging a glance with each other, Lu Shiyun and Wang Huayin revealed a smile, "Elder sister Huizhen, your chili sauce and cold dishes are delicious. We will help elder sister Huizhen!"
"What about us?" Fiona, who always looked innocent, asked as she pointed at her own nose.
"You …" Zhang Tie glanced at Fiona from her head to toe, saying, "Just do what you're best at. Just eat. Linda and Beverly could help mom!"
"Naughty, I'm not a pig. You're best at eating!" Fiona directly stomped her foot with a blush.
Everybody burst out into laughter.
"Suxian, your barbecue is not bad. I have to show off my skills to you today!" Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian.
Bai Suxian revealed a sweet smile towards Zhang Tie …
On this day, Zhang Mansion was filled with cheers and laughter once again …
…
Since he returned home, Zhang Tie had not left his family members. He would either play with his sons and daughters or accompany his parents and Linda for a walk or watch the snow scenery in the wild by airboat. Each morning, Zhang Tie would take his 3 sons and 2 daughters to make various snowmen in his courtyard. Zhang Tie's kids grew closer and closer to him as they called him dad more and more fluently …
When Zhang Tie returned to his home in Jinwu City and enjoyed the long-awaited slight warmth, the news that Zhang Tie had returned to Jinwu City had long spread over Taixia Country and shocked the entire country.
Actually, it was not shocking for Zhang Tie to return home. What was really shocking was that Zhang Tie had promoted to an earth knight in only a few years. What was more unbelievable was that Cui Li, who killed demons in the Earth-elements Realm and was awarded the title of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and founded Iron-Dragon Sect, was actually Zhang Tie in disguise. Cui Li was Zhang Tie; Zhang Tie was Cui Li.
In only a few days, Jinwu City had been in an uproar. Across Yanghe Prefecture, Youzhou Province, even across the entire Northeast Military Region and further provinces, a lot of people had arrived at Jinwu City every day and tried their best to pay a visit to Zhang Tie by presenting their visiting cards or gifts to Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie's home would receive over 100 invitation cards every day. However, Zhang Tie ignored all of them.
After staying at home for a few days, Zhang Tie only met three batches of people: first, Donder; second, Barley's group who came from all over Youzhou Province; third, Zhang Tie took Beverly and Fiona to visit Beverly's and Fiona's parents. After building Jinwu City, Beverly's and Fiona's parents also moved to Jinwu City and lived a rich and leisurely life. Besides Zhang family members, nobody else knew the relationship between them and Zhang Tie.
In this way, Zhang Tie welcomed the new year's eve of the 904th year of Black Iron Calendar at home.
After the new year's eve, Huaiyuan Palace sent a message that the rotating chakra ceremony for Zhang Tie to promote to an earth knight had been fixed on February 2nd.
February 2nd, the day when the dragon raised its head was the best day to hold the rotating chakra ceremony …
