"I've not imagined that Zhang Tie could be the director of Dragon Emperor Pavilion …"
"Indeed …"
"In this way, it would be easy for us to carry out our plan. I think he's really fond of you. You have to win him over at any cost …"
"Didn't you want me to associate with him? Why are you so enthusiastic now?"
"Times have changed. I think even if our masters were here, they would also agree with us!"
"I don't want to cheat him; neither do I want to drag him into trouble. I'm doing harm to him …"
"Have you really fallen in love with him? Don't forget why we joined Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace!"
"Of course, I haven't. However, it's hard to say whether that item is in Dragon Emperor Pavilion or not. When our grandmaster was defeated by Dragon Emperor, that item was taken away by Dragon Emperor. Dragon Emperor said that he would give it back to us after a few years' study. Unexpectedly, Dragon Emperor disappeared all of a sudden. Perhaps that item also disappeared together with Dragon Emperor …"
"At least it might be there, isn't it? If that item didn't disappear along with the disappearance of Dragon Emperor and is still in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, our master said that it might be in the hand of Elder Fang of Earth-Treasures Department besides Dragon Emperor Pavilion. We're already looking for an opportunity to enter Earth-Treasures Department. Additionally, Zhang Tie is the director of Dragon Emperor Pavilion. We could gradually figure out whether that item is in Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace or not. At least, we could ask him to pay attention to it for us. After confirming that it's really in Dragon Emperor Pavilion, we could figure out a solution …"
"If so, we'd better show our identity to him and ask him for a favor. If he wants to help us, just do it. If he doesn't want to help us, we won't force him to do it. Otherwise, given his intelligence, do you think that he couldn't figure out our background if we ask him to pay attention to that item?"
"It's too risky. As long as he knows our background, who could guarantee that he would treat us like that? By then, even many people on our backs would be involved with him. I would never agree with that!"
"I believe that Zhang Tie is not that kind of person. Even if he knows our identities, he will not do anything to us!"
I couldn't let you risk the lives of our sect. You know, Force Emperor Immortal Palace has not canceled the order to hunt us down. As long as Zhang Tie knew our real identities, who could guarantee that he wouldn't sell us away in front of the reward offered by Force Emperor Pavilion? Do you really think that you're that important in his heart? By then, even if we die, what about our master and our sisters? Do you have the heart to kill them? We have to keep in touch with Zhang Tie and continue to stay in Dragon Emperor City. Only in this way could we continue to inquire about the whereabouts of that item … "
"But he advised us to leave!"
"He indeed has good intentions. However, we should not forget what we're going to do. If Dragon Emperor City really becomes chaotic like what he said, it might be our chance. Therefore, we have to stay here. You don't need to worry about it anymore. I will figure out a solution for sure …"
"Sigh …"
…
In Zhang Tie's room in Apricot Blossom Courtyard, after hearing the dialogue between Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan, Zhang Tie became sober at once. Closely after that, he revealed a bitter smile.
The military department of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace was relatively unpopular in Dragon Emperor City. Any immortal general who understood the current situation facing Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would not choose to join the military department at this moment. These days, the military department was recruiting new immortal generals on a large scale to strengthen the overall strength of the military department.
Liu brothers were obsessed with joining the military department. Of course, they hit it off with the military department. During the three days when Zhang Tie was detained, Liu brothers had already received the order of transfer from the military department and officially joined the military department. Additionally, they were going to leave Dragon Emperor City for a big city in Dragon Emperor Big Domain tomorrow morning for a new position.
Liu brothers were fools. Perhaps that elder of the military department had already roped in some branch heads of Dragon Emperor Big Domain, they were arranged to serve as the left and right military commanders of an immortal palace as immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Army. This position was much better than that of Zhou Baifei and Lu Xun.
On this occasion, they all drank a lot tonight. Besides welcoming Zhang Tie's "release", they also bid farewell to Liu brothers.
After returning to the courtyard, all of them were a bit drunk. Liu brothers who drank the most fell asleep at once. Previously, Zhang Tie also wanted to sleep; however, Ji Yuelan who was a bit drunk kept saying that she would sleep with Jiang Ruoxin tonight and take a bath together to see whose figure was better.
As a result, Zhang Tie became a bit lustful when he returned to his room. He wanted to peep at the scene of two beauties taking a bath together.
As a result, Zhang Tie entered Jiang Ruoxin's room absentmindedly. He indeed saw two beauties soaking in the bathtub; however, he could hear clearly their conversation in the bathtub. As a result, Zhang Tie became sober at once.
Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin indeed had special identities. They didn't join Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace only for some element crystals; instead, they had a more important mission.
Although the two women seemed to be bosom friends, they were actually sisters of the same sect. Additionally, their sects seemed to be very shady in Motian Realm and had a deep conflict with Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Therefore, they were always being chased by Force Emperor Immortal Palace.
At this moment, what else could Zhang Tie do besides revealing a bitter smile? He could only pretend that he had heard nothing about them. Zhang Tie really didn't want to be involved in the conflicts between the two women's sects and Dragon Emperor and Force Emperor Immortal Palace. Therefore, Zhang Tie could only pretend to be confused.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Zhang Tie was a bit amazed by Huang Baimei's "luck". Among the 8 new immortal generals recruited by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, 4 of them had questionable identities, including Zhang Tie. Therefore, many of the other immortal generals recruited by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace might also have questionable identities. The current Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace had really become a dead camel. Everyone wanted to take a bite at it.
'Forget it, I don't need to care so much about it …'
Having not slept for three days, Zhang Tie threw these messy thoughts out of his mind and fell asleep...
On the second day, they all got up early. Zhang Tie didn't climb the mountain; instead, he sent Liu brothers to the airport of Dragon Emperor City. Although Liu brothers were reluctant to part with Zhang Tie, they still had to part with him.
After seeing Liu brothers off, Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin went to Earth-Treasures Department today. Therefore, the three people separated at the airport once again.
"Are you going to do something earth-shattering in Dragon Emperor City after we separate today …" Ji Yuelan teased Zhang Tie.
"How about you hang out with me today …" Zhang Tie said as he pulled Ji Yuelan's hand and joked with her with a shameless look.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Jiang Ruoxin threw a glance at Ji Yuelan, which was a hint that Zhang Tie could understand. However, Ji Yuelan instantly drew her hand away from Zhang Tie's as she patted Zhang Tie's hand, saying, "It's not that easy for you to take advantage of this elder sister. I've got something to deal with today. No matter what, I don't think you would suffer a loss no matter what you do …"
After saying that, Ji Yuelan pulled Jiang Ruoxin away.
"Why don't you promise him …" Jiang Ruoxin asked Zhang Tie in a secret way, "It's a chance. Don't you like staying with him …"
"I don't like him anymore. No way!"
"You just don't want to involve him in it!"
"Humph …"
Watching the two women's backs and hearing their words, Zhang Tie felt a bit complex. In many cases, not everyone could distinguish affection and ruthlessness.
Zhang Tie didn't hang out in Dragon Emperor City today; instead, he found a broker agency in the city and hired a loyal old couple as his servants. After that, he bought a top class flying lizard and a lizard carriage. After that, he had the old couple drive the lizard carriage back to Apricot Blossom Courtyard leisurely with some simple luggage of the couple.
"Uncle Qu, you and Aunt Qu will live in this house from now on. When I'm not here, I'll leave the Apricot Blossom Courtyard to you. In addition to your monthly allowance, I'll give you and your wife 15 purple crystal coins to cover all the daily expenses and purchases in the courtyard …"
"Thank you, childe. Thank you, childe. I will try my best to satisfy childe. However, 15 purple crystal coins is a bit too much. I'm afraid that we could not use them all …"
"As long as you work hard, you can take the extra as your reward!"
After hearing that Zhang Tie was so generous, Uncle Qu and his wife revealed a grateful smile on their wrinkled faces as they knew that they had met a good employer.
Zhang Tie paid them a lot of monthly allowance. The monthly expenditure of 15 purple crystal coins was already the standard of a major clan with over 10 members. On the way here, the two people had already known that Zhang Tie was an immortal general of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace. As there were three people living here and they didn't eat too much at home, even if they bought all the 15 purple crystal coins per month, they could never spend it all. Additionally, the expenditure in the suburb of Dragon Emperor City was cheaper; especially food, it was much cheaper.
"Childe, haven't you eaten lunch? How about I cook lunch for childe?" Aunt Qu became active too.
"No need for lunch. Just prepare a supper today. You can buy something else in this courtyard and kitchen …" Zhang Tie said as he took out 15 purple crystal coins and gave them to Uncle Qu and his wife, saying, "This is your monthly expenditure. Just do as you see fit. I prefer tranquility here …"
"I know, I know, childe, don't worry!" Uncle Qu took the purple crystal coins out of excitement as his hands quivered a bit.
"Hmm, you can go now!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Uncle Qu hurriedly went to take care of his flying lizard while Aunt Qu started to wander in the kitchen …
Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he returned to his courtyard …
After hiring two servants to look after Apricot Blossom Courtyard, Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about the chores in the courtyard anymore.
In the evening, when Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan came back, they found some changes in Apricot Blossom Courtyard. Zhang Tie had already hired two servants.
Aunt Qu's cooking skills were really good …
…
On the second day, Zhang Tie reported to Dragon Emperor Pavilion …
