'The relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect?'
After hearing Zhang Taixuan's question, Zhang Tie became stunned for a second. To be honest, he really didn't know that. He only knew that Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect had a good relationship, which could be seen from the fact that Lan Yunxi could enter Taiyi Fantasy Sect and become a knight powerhouse in Taiyi Fantasy Sect in a short period. Although Lan Yunxi's aptitude and efforts contributed to that, what counted most was that the cultivation resources of Taiyi Fantasy Sect were inclined to Lan Yunxi.
"I really don't know about the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Please enlighten me, clan head!" Zhang Tie told Zhang Taixuan frankly.
"The relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect could be traced back to Lord Huaiyuan, the forefather of Huaiyuan Palace. When Lord Huaiyuan was in Taixia Country, he had some good friends, one of whom came from Taiyi Fantasy Sect. That's the origin of the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect!"
"Ahh, Lord Huaiyuan had a good friend in Taiyi Fantasy Sect?" Zhang Tie asked Zhang Taixuan as he blinked his eyes.
"Yes, Lord Huaiyuan got acquainted with that good friend in Taiyi Fantasy Sect when Lord Huaiyuan promoted to a black iron knight and entered the Earth-elements Realm. At that time, both of them were black iron knights. Later on, Lord Huaiyuan joined God's Will Army, one of the top 4 armies of Taixia Country and finally promoted to the West Conquering General of God's Will Army. That good friend of Lord Huaiyuan also made rapid progress in Taiyi Fantasy Sect and became one of the 4 elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect!"
Zhang Taixuan told Zhang Tie about the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect. Zhang Tie had not imagined that Huaiyuan Palace could have such a relationship with Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
"Is Lord Huaiyuan's good friend Feng Yexiao?"
"Not Feng Yexiao, but the only woman among the 4 elders of Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Zhu Qianqian!"
Zhang Tie had not imagined that Lord Huaiyuan had a confidante in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. At this moment, Zhang Tie felt absurd as he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
By then, Zhang Tie had already known what Zhang Taixuan wanted to talk about with him. Therefore, before Zhang Taixuan said anything, Zhang Tie had already shook his head with a smile as he said, "Clan head, I understand. Just give the airboat back to Taiyi Fantasy Sect. I don't feel reluctant about it. Clan head, please arrange some people to go to Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and drive the airboat away. it's just an airboat!"
Zhang Taixuan watched Zhang Tie's face carefully. After finding that Zhang Tie's look was not fake, Zhang Taixuan let out a sigh, "It's great that you could think that way. As Taixia Country is in troubled times, it's not worth for Huaiyuan Palace to turn hostile to Taiyi Fantasy Sect only for an airboat. Previously, you won an airboat in the identity of Cui LI; now that you've recovered your original look, given the relationship between Huaiyuan Palace and Taiyi Fantasy Sect, it's a bit inappropriate for you to win an airboat from Taiyi Fantasy Sect as an elder of Huaiyuan Palace!"
"I know that!" Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "I've been considering about it since I decided to expose my real identity. After all, Yunxi is still in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. As the relationship between me and Taiyi Fantasy Sect is too stiff, as I'm an elder of Huaiyuan Palace, I'm afraid that Yunxi might hear some gossips in Taiyi Fantasy Sect. She might even be punished!"
Zhang Tie was telling the truth. Between Lan Yunxi and an airboat, that airboat was nothing. If he made Lan Yunxi's situation in Taiyi Fantasy Sect more difficult for an airboat, Zhang Tie would never do that. Airboat was just an inanimate means of transportation. In Zhang Tie's eyes, even a hair of Lan Yunxi was more valuable than an icy airboat. When Zhang Tie spoke, he didn't notice Zhang Taixuan's look. After finishing his words, he noticed that Zhang Taixuan's look was a bit strange. Zhang Tie realized it at once, 'I called Lan Yunxi too intimately. How could I call Lan Yunxi so naturally if I don't have a special relationship with Lan Yunxi?'
"Erm … senior sister Yunxi and I have long known each other in Hidden Dragon Island … later on … later on, we became comrades-in-arms in Selnes Theater of Operations … erm … we're familiar with each other …" Zhang Tie explained in an embarrassed way as he rubbed his face.
Nobody across Huaiyuan Palace knew about the love affair between Zhang Tie and Lan Yunxi. It was like an underground love affair. Facing Zhang Taixuan, Zhang Tie felt like being caught red-handed by a little girl's dad.
Zhang Taixuan coughed twice as he moved his eyes onto Embracing Tiger City in the distance stealthily, "It's better to squash enmity than keep it alive. The misunderstanding between you and Taiyi Fantasy Sect could be resolved. I will invite people of Taiyi Fantasy Sect to attend your rotating chakra ceremony as a gesture of reconciliation. After attending the rotating chakra ceremony, the people of Taiyi Fantasy Sect will drive away that airboat. If you feel inconvenient to travel in the future and want an airboat, you can take my airboat!" Zhang Taixuan said with a smile, "You'd better squash enmity than keep it alive.
"Clan head, I'll follow your arrangement!" Zhang Tie tried his best to recover his composure and face as he said, "Clan head, as the provincial governor of Youzhou Province, of course, you should have an airboat on your side. If I want to use an airboat, Jinwu Business Group has another airboat. Clan head, you don't need to worry about that!"
Zhang Yang had an airboat, so did Bai Suxian. Even though he returned the airboat of Taiyi Fantasy Sect to Taiyi Fantasy Sect, it didn't have any influence on Zhang Tie. If he wanted to use an airboat, he only needed to say a word. Bai Suxian and his elder brother didn't feel inconvenient at all. When Zhang Tie didn't have an airboat, it looked strange; however, now that he had it, it was nothing special. If Zhang Tie wanted an airboat, it was not an exaggeration. After a few days, people would queue up to gift him an airboat in Taixia Country. Therefore, he didn't need to be anxious. Additionally, his own flight ability and that of his pet Little Reay were both greater than that of airboat. Therefore, this airboat was really dispensable. It was just a bit more convenient and comfortable than an airship in the sky.
"As the finance minister of Taixia Country, Han Zhengfang has great power. Besides bloody sea and demonized grains, nobody knows how many landmines he has buried in Taixia Country and what other arrangements he has made over these years. They might be gradually exposed in the future. At this moment, it's not good for Huaiyuan Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect to have a bad relationship with Taiyi Fantasy Sect!"
"I see, ahem … ahem … clan head, is there anything else …" The longer Zhang Tie stayed on Zhang Taixuan's side, the more embarrassed he felt. He couldn't wait to leave.
"No, that's all. Elder Mushen, do you have anything else to talk with me about?" Zhang Tie replied. "That's all.
"I've promised my mom to have dinner at home!" Zhang Tie said seriously.
After hearing Elder Mushen's words, Zhang Taixuan raised his eyebrows as he was almost choked. However, he still nodded as he said mildly, "If so, Elder Mushen, I will not delay you … go home for dinner. I hope that you don't forget about the rotating chakra ceremony!"
"Hmm … erm … I have to go … bye!" After saying that, before Zhang Taixuan said anything, Zhang Tie had disappeared. Closely after that, he reappeared in the sky and disappeared in the night sky with a few flashes.
Watching the direction where Zhang Tie disappeared, Zhang Taixuan unconsciously stroked that odd-shaped and colorful finger ring with a faintly bizarre look. At the same time, he muttered twice, "Yunxi … Yunxi …"
…
After flying hundreds of miles away from Embracing Tiger City, Zhang Tie recovered from the slightly embarrassed state when he was blown by the strong chilly wind in the night sky. At the same time, he found that his flight direction was a bit off.
Zhang Tie shook his head with a bitter smile. The so-called guilty conscience really didn't distinguish age and battle strength. Just now, when he realized that Zhang Taixuan might have guessed the affair between him and Lan Yunxi, Zhang Tie felt a bit flurried. After thinking about it, he realized that he had not bullied Lan Yunxi anymore except for that time when he failed to occupy Lan Yunxi's "shortcut leading to the soul". Zhang Tie believed that Lan Yunxi would not tell Zhang Taixuan about that affair. Therefore, he really didn't know why he was flurried.
After shaking his head with a self-mockery, Zhang Tie adjusted his direction and flew towards Jinwu City.
Through this trip to Embracing Tiger City, Zhang Tie finally understood the perilous situation that Taixia Country might face in the future.
'If a large-scale food shortage and civil strife really break out in Taixia Country, what should I do?'
On the way towards Jinwu City, Zhang Tie was thinking about this question.
The answer to this question reminded Zhang Tie that even though he had Castle of Black Iron, he was not a deity. In such a great tide that could barely be resisted by an individual, besides taking good care of his family members and those on his side, he could only try his best to save as many people as possible in Taixia Country. What else could he do?
If he had enough time, he could indeed do a lot of things with Castle of Black Iron. The problem was that Heavens Reaching Church and demons wouldn't spare too much time to Taixia Country. If Zhang Tie was Han Zhengfang, he would detonate demonized grains in the latest one or two years. When the crisis caused by demonized grains fermented in Taixia Country, he would break out the catastrophe of bloody figures. The two forces would combine with each other and break out in Taixia Country. The destructive power would be absolutely terrifying. By then, Taixia Country might have long been in chaos. However, Zhang Tie had disrupted the plan of Han Zhengfang and demons, causing the catastrophe of bloody figures to break out in advance.
"Given the land-building speed of Castle of Black Iron after opening up the tunnel in Elements Realm and absorbing the four elements, when Taixia Country is really in chaos, Castle Lord could dispatch more people into Castle of Black Iron. Those who enter Castle of Black Iron would have a chance to survive. At least, they would not starve to death. Additionally, Castle of Black Iron has stored a lot of grains. Castle Lord also has the best mutated grains in the world. The chaotic situation in Taixia Country might be a chance for Castle Lord …"
Heller's voice drifted from Zhang Tie's mind sea with an inexplicable meaning …
Zhang Tie shook his head as he told Heller, "Such a chance is too tragic for commoners. I really don't want such a chance …"
"It's not that you choose this age; it's that this age chooses you …"
