"Tang Mei, Tang Mei, how could there be such a woman in the world … with an unparalleled look and talent … it's not a shame for me to lose today …"
At this moment, a young man staggered out of the boite with a flagon in hand. After passing by Zhang Tie, the young man kept drinking. Pitifully, only after a few steps, he had been filled with the smell of alcohol. After staggering a couple of steps, he immediately lied down on the roadside parterre and spat out his mouth, causing a stinky smell to spread all over the place …
Watching this young man's look, Zhang Tie slightly frowned as he quickened his pace.
At this moment, Zhang Tie had just come out of Du's Fish Market. After instructing Boss Du to do something for the whole afternoon, he met some fearful shrimps farmers invited by Boss Du and negotiated with them about buying a fishing boat for setting off spike shrimps. After being busy for the whole afternoon, Zhang Tie finally became reassured as he had made a proper arrangement for setting off spike shrimps.
Bian Heng had already enrolled Zhang Tie as his apprentice in the morning. At noon, Zhang Tie had already returned to Du's Fish Market in Tigerback Town and started to supervise Boss Du to do something.
The fruit of redemption of spike shrimps was of great importance to Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie would be willing to make 20 or 200 trips, not to mention 2 trips. Thankfully, after this trip, Zhang Tie had almost arranged everything that needed to be arranged. Zhang Tie didn't need to worry about that anymore. Even if something happened to Boss Du, Zhang Tie had already arranged a backup plan, which would not affect this event.
Today, Tigerback Town had been completely boisterous. When the lanterns were lit, the boîtes that used to be boisterous became boisterous. All the boîtes were full. Drunkards could be seen everywhere on the streets. The name of Tang Mei could be heard everywhere.
Those doctors in the town who had no chance to go to Tigerback Mountain turned their grief and disappointment into drunkenness. They all called their friends in the boîtes and got drunk.
Only after one day, the name of Tang Mei had been spread over Tigerback Town along with her beauty and talent.
Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to have supper in a boîte before returning to Tigerback Mountain; however, given the boisterous situation in the boîtes, Zhang Tie shook his head inside as he gave up this thought.
For Zhang Tie, it didn't matter if he didn't eat for one day.
Walking in the streets of Tigerback Town and watching Tigerback Mountain with dim lights in the distance, Zhang Tie rubbed his nose — — at this moment, Bian Heng might have already known that it was caused by him.
Although Tang Mei was smart, the last test today was not something that could be solved by intelligence. It required a great mathematical calculation ability.
After returning to Tigerback Mountain, it would not take Bian Heng long to know what was going on. Given Tang Mei's intelligence, she would not lie to Bian Heng. Bian Heng was afraid that Bian Heng would know what was going on.
When he imagined Bian Heng's dumbfounded look after knowing the truth, Zhang Tie couldn't help but reveal a faint smile.
'You can't just ignore your disciple being cured of Wuyin Extreme Meridian. If something bad really happened to Tang Mei, I wonder how you, the No. 1 swordsman in Motian Realm would feel.'
…
After returning to Tigerback Mountain, Zhang Tie saw General Butler Qin at the foot of the mountain.
"Butler Jin, you're back. My master told me to wait for you here. When you come back, I will take you to see him!" General Butler Qin said calmly as he took a deep look at Zhang Tie.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, General Butler Qin. Let's go there right now …"
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that General Butler Qin would wait for him in Tideviewing Courtyard; unexpectedly, he was at the foot of Tigerback Mountain. 'It seems that Bian Heng has been worried about me. If I don't come back, Bian Heng might catch me here.'
…
In the parlor where Zhang Tie met Bian Heng that day, the moment Zhang Tie stepped over the threshold, Bian Heng, who was circling in the parlor with hands clasped behind his back, had rushed towards him with a painful look, "Did you do that today?" Bian Heng asked Zhang Tie with a painful look.
Zhang Tie blinked his eyes as he shrugged with an innocent look, saying, "Elder brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand …"
"You're still pretending?" Bian Heng's saliva almost sprayed onto Zhang Tie's face out of excitement as he said, "Tang Mei said that the last answer was told to her by someone. You wanted me to save the one who got cured of Wuyin Extreme Meridian, right? If I still couldn't figure it out, I would be stupider than a pig …"
"Did Tang Mei say that I told her the answer to the third test?" Zhang Tie asked confidently.
Bian Heng became slightly stunned as he replied, "No, she said she couldn't figure it out …"
"That's right …" Zhang Tie walked to a chair in the room and sat down frankly. After that, he picked up a piece of cake from the tea-table and threw it into his mouth. As he ate it, he said, "Even she couldn't confirm that it was me, how could you be so sure? You need evidence. Perhaps there's a powerhouse at the scene who couldn't bear to see Tang Mei being destroyed by her five yin meridians and turning into white bones. Therefore, he couldn't help but remind her. Everyone loves beauty …"
Bian Heng's face contorted due to anger. He blew his beard and said, "Bullsh * t. In front of me, unless you are an immortal emperor or a demon emperor, who could play such a trick in front of me unknowingly? At the foot of the mountain, you were the most suspicious except for me. I've finally seen through you. You've long known that the girl is beautiful; therefore, you've been interested in Tang Mei. Then, you seized the opportunity to sell me out, haven't you …"
"You're just guessing …" Zhang Tie said with a solemn look as he continued to grab the cake on the table.
Bian Heng sat beside Zhang Tie angrily. When he found Zhang Tie was still eating, he became infuriated. Therefore, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the plate of pastries away from Zhang Tie, saying, "You've cheated me; how dare you eat my food …"
"Don't be so stingy. I've not eaten supper yet!" Zhang Tie revealed a cheeky smile as he picked himself up and grabbed all the cake on the plate. As he ate, he said, "If you say that I cheated you, I will never admit it. However, I've been smart and loved by everyone since I was young. I'm also very interested in mathematics … elder brother, I owe you a big favor. If you have any question about mathematics and need help, just come to me. I will never refuse you … by the way, elder brother, the combination of those grids and numbers in our world is called magic square. I'm good at solving magic square …"
Although Zhang Tie denied it verbally, he had already admitted it. Of course, Bian Heng understood it.
After finding that Zhang Tie admitted it indirectly, Bian Heng felt a bit better.
"Mathematics … magic square …" Bian Heng muttered as he threw a glance at Zhang Tie, saying, "You said you're good at mathematics, let me test you …"
"Go ahead …"
"What's 387 multiplied by 987 multiplied by 247 and divided by 3?"
"31448781..." Zhang Tie blurted out with food in his mouth.
Bian Heng became stunned for a second. He just asked this question casually. Actually, he didn't know the answer at all. Even though he was a supreme-level immortal general and a sage-level knight, he was not almighty. Previously, he just wanted to mock Zhang Tie and test Zhang Tie's level. However, Zhang Tie's answer shocked him a bit.
He thought that Zhang Tie was making it up. How could the product of three 3-digit numbers be divided by 3 coincidentally? However, given Zhang Tie's calm look, Bian Heng was a bit shaken. Coincidentally, there was tea on the table. Therefore, Bian Heng poured out a bit of tea water and dipped his finger in the tea water on the table to calculate it.
One minute later, Bian Heng raised his head and stared at Zhang Tie as if he had seen a ghost. The answer to the question he had just mentioned was exactly 31448781. He had calculated it twice, but still got the same answer.
"Do you believe me now?" Zhang Tie asked Bian Heng after gobbling up the cake and wiping his mouth.
Bian Heng watched Zhang Tie with a bizarre eye light as he asked, "How long will it take you to solve the third question in the morning …"
"Within one second …"
"What about more complicated ones?"
"It depends on the situation. But within one or two seconds …"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Bian Heng watched Zhang Tie with a more bizarre eye light as he asked, "Are all the people in your world like you?"
"Not all of them. I'm afraid that not many people are like me …" Zhang Tie smirked.
Bian Heng became silent all of a sudden as his face changed from joy to worry. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.
"What's up? If not, I will go back …" Zhang Tie stood up.
Before Bian Heng opened his mouth, Zhang Tie had already walked to the door. All of a sudden, Bian Heng opened his mouth, "Do you want to make a fortune?"
"Make a fortune? Forget it. At our level, common element crystals are useless. I don't even like immortal outfits …" Zhang Tie stopped as he turned around and replied.
"I don't like common ones either. But what about deity's secret methods and heavenly-level immortal outfits?"
"Deity's secret methods?" After thinking about it for a short while, Zhang Tie remembered that the so-called deity's secret methods in Motian Realm were emperor-level secret methods. Shocked inside, Zhang Tie revealed an indifferent look as he asked, "Where did you get so many deity's secret methods? Elder brother, are you cheating me?"
"Have you heard about Infinite King Roc Sutra?" Bian Heng asked as he watched Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes.
'F * ck!' 'Infinite King Roc Sutra?' Zhang Tie felt being struck by a lightning bolt as he was greatly shocked inside.
"Where's Infinite King Roc Sutra?" Zhang Tie's eyes instantly turned shrewd. As a cultivator, it was impossible for him not to be interested in emperor-level secret methods. A eunuch might not be interested in beauties; however, as for cultivators, they could never resist the allure of secret methods on the way to the supreme realm.
"I know where they are. But I can't tell you …" Bian Heng said as he shook his head.
"Humph, forget it …" Zhang Tie said as he continued to walk outside.
"However, if you want to know it, you could go to a place with me. As long as you could prove your ability, you might have a chance to know it …"
"What do you mean?"
Bian Heng watched Zhang Tie with an unprecedentedly solemn look as he said, "This secret doesn't belong to me alone. I have no right to tell you about it. If you want to know this secret, you have to join us. With the consent of all the people who know this secret, you could know it …"
