Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang didn't promote to a knight. He didn't even stand the 20 years in the tower of time in Heavens Fortune Sect before he had to exit in advance. In Zhang Yang's words, although he had made various preparations, when he stayed in the tower of time for 14 years, he had already felt something wrong. The dullness and loneliness in the tower of time could drive him mad. Zhang Yang even had visual and auditory hallucinations in that environment. Additionally, he couldn't concentrate on his cultivation and almost had qi deviation for many times. When he couldn't stand it anymore, he had to end his cultivation in the tower of time in case of accidents.
Not everyone could stand the harsh cultivation in the tower of time. Zhang Tie's elder brother Zhang Yang couldn't stand it at all as his aptitude and potential was just a bit higher than that of Zhang Yang.
After 14 years, plus various cultivation resources, Zhang Yang had lit 597 surging points in total in the tower of time, 13 surging points away from promoting to a LV 15 battle demon.
When Zhang Tie met Zhang Yang, after a period of cultivation, Zhang Yang had already recovered and made a great progress in battle strength. However, the moment Zhang Yang mentioned the tower of time, he would turn pale.
Zhang Tie stayed at home for 2 days. In the daytime, he accompanied his parents and didn't see any guests. In the evening, after supper, he would have a secret talk with Zhang Yang in the study room. Nobody knew what they talked about. Not until the people dispatched by Crown Prince Changying arrived at Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory did Zhang Tie bid farewell to his elder brother and his family members and left Jinwu City.
Before leaving, Zhang Tie's parents, Zhang Yang and elder sisters-in-law all came out of their rooms to bid farewell to Zhang Tie.
"Dad, mom, take care of yourself. I have something to deal with. I have to go back to Iron-Dragon Sect …"
Under the gaze of everyone else, after finishing his words, Zhang Tie suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times towards his parents solemnly. After that, he picked himself up.
Zhang Yang just watched Zhang Tie with a solemn look. He didn't stop Zhang Tie. However, Zhang Tie's parents were startled by Zhang Tie's look. Because Zhang Tie didn't even bid farewell to his parents in such a solemn way.
"What are you doing? Don't kowtow. Your dad and I are still young. Even if you and Zhang Yang become grandpas and take care of grandchildren for you, we will also be fine …" Zhang Tie's mom felt a bit worried about her son. The moment Zhang Tie stood up, his mom had hurriedly walked towards him. As she scolded Zhang Tie, she couldn't help but bend down and pat the dust off Zhang Tie's pants.
"Ahem ahem, you're the head of a sect. You don't need to kneel down in front of us. Thankfully, there's no outsider here; otherwise, it would be bad …" Zhang Tie's dad added on one side. After that, he became hesitant for a second before asking Zhang Tie, "Yesterday, I heard someone talking about a sect's black invitation card. I was told that Taiyi Fantasy Sect was finding you trouble …"
After hearing their dad's words, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang exchanged a glance with each other. Zhang Yang's face slightly turned solemn while Zhang Tie remained as calm as usual.
"What black invitation? What trouble does Guoguo have? Why didn't I know about it?" Zhang Tie's mom asked.
"Haha, actually, it's nothing serious. Because of the Dongtian that Iron-Dragon Sect discovered in South Border, I had a small conflict with some sects. As we couldn't solve it verbally, we could only have a competition …" Zhang Tie said casually.
"Erm, will you be fine?" Zhang Tie's mom asked.
"Mom, look at your son. I was not even afraid of facing the demon army at the bank of Weishui River. I'm fine. I'm not afraid of a bit conflict with one or two sects in Taixia Country. Given your son's reputation, I don't need to worry about Taiyi Fantasy Sect, not to mention my ability!"
Zhang Tie looked relaxed and carefree. As expected, his parents, who didn't know the inside story, believed his words and became reassured.
"As members of Zhang family, we're not afraid of trouble. No matter what you do, we will support you!" Zhang Tie's mom said resolutely.
"But we'd better be lenient. If we could solve it peacefully, we'd better not make it too big …" Zhang Tie's dad persuaded Zhang Tie with a peaceful attitude.
Zhang Tie constantly nodded with a modest look. After their parents finished their words, Zhang Tie turned around and watched Zhang Yang and his elder sisters-in-law.
"Elder brother, elder sisters-in-law …" Zhang Tie greeted Zhang Yang and his elder sisters-in-law with a smile, "When I'm not here, you'd better take care of our parents …"
Zhang Yang nodded while Zhang Tie's elder sisters-in-law hurriedly promised modestly.
"Well, I have to go …" Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he flew off at once. After circling around the mansion in the air, he flew towards Iron-Dragon Sect as fast as a lightning bolt.
Zhang Yang just stayed in the courtyard and watched Zhang Tie off. He tightly clenched his fist in his sleeve. As he exerted too much strength, his knuckles had turned white.
After Zhang Tie left, Zhang Yang returned home. The first thing he told Zhang Tie's parents was that he would marry a new wife in a few days.
"Ahh, which clan is the new wife from?" Zhang Tie's mom's eyes turned bright at once.
Zhang Tie's parents were not surprised about having one more daughter-in-law. All the major clans in Taixia Country like Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang had a lot of wives and concubines. Although they also had wives and concubines, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang were conservative in this aspect. What shocked Zhang Tie's parents was that it was Zhang Yang who proposed it.
"It's Zhang Tie who arranged this marriage for me. It's almost fixed last year. The new wife is the daughter of Zuoqiu Clan in Taixia Country …"
"Zuoqiu Clan? This surname is rare. I've not heard about any major clan surnamed Zuoqiu in Youzhou Province and Northeast Military Region …" Zhang Tie's dad recalled it carefully as he asked out of doubt.
"It's Zuoqiu Clan of Biyong Palace!"
"Zuoqiu Clan of Biyong Palace?" Zhang Tie's dad was startled at once as he widely opened his eyes and asked in an unbelievable way. After the establishment of Jinwu Palace, Zhang Tie's dad had been learning about the names and prefectures of major clans in Taixia Country in case of making a joke. Biyong Palace was much more famous than Huaiyuan Palace in Taixia Country. Compared to Biyong Palace, Huaiyuan Palace was like comparing a daughter of a noble in a rural village with a daughter of a noble. This name was so well-known that Zhang Tie's dad was stunned at once. After a short while, Zhang Tie's dad swallowed his saliva before asking, "Is it … the collateral branch of Zuoqiu Clan or …" Zhang Tie's dad was stunned by Zhang Tie's words.
"It's the direct descendant of Zuoqiu Clan and the direct descendant of Zuoqiu Mingyue, the commander-in-chief of Taixia Country. She's talented, good-looking and virtuous. She could marry Zuoqiu Mingyue …" Zhang Yang said calmly …
Zhang Tie's mom didn't know about the position of Biyong Palace in Taixia Country; however, she knew about the commander-in-chief's position in Taixia Country. After hearing that her family was going to unite with the commander-in-chief's clan by marriage, Zhang Tie's mom was also shocked …
