What kind of women Lord Guangnan liked was none of Zhang Tie's business in Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Zhang Tie didn't want to care about it. Watching Bai Suxian glancing over Fang Xinyi's face from time to time with a solemn look, Zhang Tie patted Bai Suxian's shoulder under the table, warning her not to make any trouble. Otherwise, they would lose their faces.
After Fang Xinyi arrived, Bai Suxian's elder brothers all threw a meaningful glance at Bai Suxian to let Bai Suxian bear it.
With Lord Guangnan's presence, although the banquet was boisterous, it was still well-behaved. Nobody dared have a drinking competition with Zhang Tie. Lord Guangnan's subordinates might have long known about Zhang Tie's drinking capacity. Therefore, they would not jump out and hit the muzzle.
Zhang Tie was modest and calm. Although everybody was watching him in the banquet, Zhang Tie was the focus of the banquet; however, he didn't want to play to the gallery. Therefore, Zhang Tie's performance won the respect of all the others in Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in the banquet became boisterous. Soon after the song and dance ended, Fang Xinyi on Lord Guangnan's side threw a glance at Zhang Tie as she suddenly told Zhang Tie with a smile, "The news that Immortal Qianji has come to Lord Guangnan's Mansion has been known by the entire city. As the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, Bai Suxian's marriage should be carried out carefully. I wonder what betrothal gift Immortal Qianji has brought?"
The moment Fang Xinyi opened her mouth, all the others in the banquet hall became silent. Because Fang Xinyi's words sounded like a joke, even Lord Guangnan felt bashful to say anything. Actually, the betrothal gift was not important for both Lord Guangnan's Mansion and Zhang Tie. The key to the marriage between Zhang Tie and Lord Guangnan's Mansion was Zhang Tie's status and attitude. After the battle at the bank of Weishui River, nobody would say anything about Zhang Tie's status even if he was on the same footing with Lord Guangnan. This time, Zhang Tie came to South Border and paid a visit to the family members of Lord Guangnan and Bai Suxian. Zhang Tie's attitude was also satisfactory and Lord Guangnan's Mansion was not bad on the surface. As for those trivial details and betrothal gifts, even if Zhang Tie didn't mention it, Lord Guangnan's Mansion would handle it well. Therefore, nobody could find any fault with it. That was all.
However, now that Fang Xinyi had mentioned it, none of the others in the banquet hall dared to say that it was a trivial thing.
Watching Fang Xinyi's smiling eyes, Zhang Tie muttered inside, 'I've not offended her at all. Why did she offend me? Her words seemed to be unintentional; however, it was meaningful. Although it seemed to be a good intention, it was worth pondering.'
However, as for Bai Suxian, Fang Xinyi's attitude and tone had already indicated that she was Bai Suxian's "elder". The moment Bai Suxian wanted to refute her, Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "In my heart, Suxian is priceless. A hair of hers is even more precious than millions of gold coins. Therefore, I feel that anything that could be taken out would be too shabby as a betrothal gift. They don't match Suxian at all!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Bai Suxian who was going to lose her temper instantly blushed as she watched Zhang Tie affectionately. Zhang Tie rarely whispered sweet words to Bai Suxian; however, this one sentence could match 10,000 sentences. As a result, Bai Suxian became intoxicated at once.
Stroking his beard, Lord Guangnan also revealed a smile. It was enough for him to hear Zhang Tie's words. He even praised Zhang Tie inside, 'Zhang Tie is good at coaxing women and smoothing things out. Only with one sentence, he could make everyone happy.' Lord Guangnan even gave Zhang Tie an encouraging look that only men could understand.
"Immortal Qianji, your reputation is really all-encompassing. Immortal Qianji is extremely powerful on the battlefield. Your power as a divine dominator illuminates Weishui River and frightens demons. I've not imagined that immortal's words could match 1 million soldiers on the love field. It's really rare for immortal to have such a thought!" Fang Xinyi said with a smile.
"Hahaha …" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he said, "I mean those items that could be taken out are too light to match Suxian. I didn't say that I don't have betrothal gifts. Of course, there are betrothal gifts; however, I couldn't carry them …"
"Immortal, at the bank of Weishui River, you could wave 18800 kg of silver secret items like waving straws. I wonder how heavy the betrothal gifts are. Immortal, you couldn't even carry them!" Fang Xinyi asked out of curiosity. All the others in the banquet were also watching Zhang Tie as they wondered whether it was Zhang Tie's "witty" words.
"The betrothal gifts are the profits of Fiery Oil produced by the cooperation between Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Lord Guangnan's Mansion. Last year, I could share over 82 million gold coins' profits. It's said that this year's profits could easily exceed 100 million gold coins. With the popularization of Fiery Oil, there would be more profits in the future. However, I won't take any of them. From now on, all the profits of Fiery Oil in South Border would be taken as the betrothal gifts for Suxian. I feel that only such a betrothal gift could match Suxian's position in my heart.
How about it? "After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the banquet became silent at once. Everybody at present was shocked, including Lord Guangnan.
The profits of Fiery Oil were great. Fiery Oil was also of great use. Across South Border, the profits of Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory and Lord Guangnan's Mansion were equal. As South Border was so large, even barbarians in South Border were using Fiery Oil, not to mention those people in cities. Zhang Tie could share the profits of Fiery Oil every year in South Border with hundreds of millions of gold coins a year. Now, Zhang Tie took it as Bai Suxian's betrothal gift and gifted the profits of Fiery Oil to Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
The betrothal gifts of hundreds of millions of gold coins every year would be used to build a few cities in a year. They could buy everything including silver secret items and element crystals in front of such a great resource. Such a betrothal gift could even match the betrothal gifts of the imperial households of Taixia Country. If these gold coins were turned into gold, it would be even more precious than millions of gold coins in Zhang Tie's eyes — — a hair of Bai Suxian was even more precious than millions of gold coins in his eyes.
This betrothal gift was a real mountain of gold and silver. 40,000 gold coins were equivalent to one ton of gold each year. Last year, there were already over 2,000 tons of gold. In the future, there would be more gold. Who could take so much gold? Whose betrothal gift could match Zhang Tie's betrothal gift? Who dared to match Zhang Tie's betrothal gift?
Bai Suxian watched Zhang Tie in an infatuated way as hot tears flowed out of her eyes instead of affectionate love.
"In my heart, you're always exceedingly beautiful. Only such a betrothal gift could match you. Don't cry!" Under the gaze of everyone at present, Zhang Tie cupped Bai Suxian's face as he wiped off her tears …
