The heavy rain outside was accompanied by thunders. Bean-sized raindrops hit the roof of the vehicle, causing rustling sounds.
Two glazed lamps were hanging at the two corners of the vehicle, illuminating the road ahead. Under the drive of the tough man, two flying lizards were running in the rain merrily. Looking out of the window, Zhang Tie could only see the shadows of trees on the roadside and the towering hills on the side.
Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to sit outside the vehicle; however, only the coachman's seat could hold a person. The protruding roof of the vehicle formed a rain-shield above the coachman's head, which could block part of the wind and rain; however, some wind and rain would still touch his body. The tough man had already put on a waterproof straw raincoat. Being invited by the woman in white, Zhang Tie didn't refuse. After wringing out his wet clothes, he got on the vehicle together with the woman in white.
In Motian Realm, there was no tradition that men and women should not touch each other's hands or legs. Although there was a difference between men and women in Motian Realm, it was not excessive. Everything was based on etiquette, which was similar to that of Taixia Country in this age. Therefore, it was not immoral for Zhang Tie to stay in the same carriage with the two women.
It was as warm as spring inside the vehicle. There was an impregnable stove. Additionally, Zhang Tie could smell the faint fragrance of the woman. On such a rainy night, listening to the sound of wind and rain outside, it was also an elegant thing to stay in the carriage with beauties.
The woman was very calm. Zhang Tie didn't have any other thought. However, Mother Wu had been gazing at Zhang Tie anxiously since Zhang Tie got on the vehicle as she was afraid that Zhang Tie would pounce on the little white rabbit like a big bad wolf.
There was a soft couch in the carriage. Mother Wu was sitting in the middle of the soft couch, facing the door. Meanwhile, she was gazing at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie and that woman were sitting face to face with a stove between them.
"Childe, may I know your name?" The lizard vehicle started to speed up while the woman in veil asked for Zhang Tie's name.
"Hahaha, I'm not a childe. I'm just a small figure. Miss, just call me Jinwu …" Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he said frankly. Now that Zhang Tie had changed his look, of course, he couldn't call his original name anymore. Therefore, Zhang Tie made another disguise for himself. At this moment, Zhang Tie understood why Donder made so many disguise masks and always changed his identity. Because he could always change his identity and experience different roles and lives. This process was indeed addictive. "Miss, may I know your name?" Zhang Tie also asked his name politely.
"My family name is Tang, and my first name is Mei. You can call me Tang Mei!" Separated by a veil, the woman's voice came lightly. She even introduced the other two people, "This is Aunt Wu, and the one driving the carriage is Uncle Guan. We have to thank Childe Jin this time. If it weren't for your help, we don't know how long we would have to wait there tonight!"
"Thanks, Miss Tang. It's just a piece of cake. Actually, we've already met at the city gate just now. I've not imagined that I could meet you again on the road. It might be fate …"
"Ahh? Have we met at the city gate?"
Although wearing a veil, Zhang Tie could still feel a pair of shiny eyes gazing at his face from behind the veil. The veil seemed to be unusual. Zhang Tie felt that the veil was similar to a one-way glass. That young lady could see clearly people and objects outside; however, the others couldn't see her look through the veil. Although it was easy for Zhang Tie to see through the veil with his lotus-flower eyes, Zhang Tie didn't plan to do that. Because Zhang Tie felt that if he could reveal the opponent's trump card at any time, even if he could win each time, he would not have much surprise and fun in the game. As a person, it was unnecessary to be so calculative. How could he allow others to wear a veil in front of him? Sometimes, it was also a pleasure to go with the flow and be a bit less calculative.
The more powerful one was, the more broad-minded one would be and the more open-minded one would be. This was also an improvement in one's mental state.
"When Uncle Guan was in the vehicle, Miss Tang didn't see me; however, I saw Uncle Guan!"
"Oh, I see!" Tang Mei slightly nodded as she said, "Childe, you look like a warrior. I've not imagined that you're also proficient in chariots and horses. That's really amazing. Childe, you've just repaired this vehicle. I feel much more comfortable and less bumpy than before …"
"Hahaha, poor kids tend to take care of themselves earlier!" Zhang Tie casually mentioned a well-known saying in Taixia Country, causing the eyes of the young lady behind the veil to shine, "As for the comfort, it's because I've just adjusted the shock absorber at the bottom of the vehicle!"
"Childe, you're strong and could walk hundreds of miles a day on the road. You could even catch up with flying lizards. Childe, are you going to Tigerback Mountain to learn from Bian Heng the Yama?"
It was the second time for Zhang Tie to hear that someone could be apprenticed to a master in Tigerback Mountain. In the daytime, he had heard that from the little boy who sold maps. After hearing it from Tang Mei, Zhang Tie became curious as he asked, "It's the second time for me to hear that. Is Bian Heng the Yama still recruiting apprentices in Tigerback Mountain?"
"Bian Heng the Yama indeed doesn't have a lot of people in Tigerback Mountain. It's said that Bian Heng only recruited 8 apprentices over the past hundreds of years. The 8 apprentices learned a bit of his medical skills and became famous all over the world. However, a few years ago, Tigerback Mountain suddenly released a news that Bian Heng wanted to recruit his last apprentice. Over these years, numerous people poured into Tigerback Mountain from all the other domains. All of them wanted to be Bian Heng's apprentice and learn his amazing medical skills so that their social status would increase by 100 times. However, although this news had spread for many years and many people poured into Tigerback Mountain, I didn't hear that Bian Heng had recruited any apprentice. Only a few months ago did I hear that Bian Heng was going to set a challenge in Tigerback Mountain. Anyone who could pass his test would be recruited as his apprentice …"
"Haha, it's really novel for a master to set a challenge in order to be his apprentice!" Zhang Tie said with a smile …
