"Elder brother, are you serious?" Zhang Tie asked happily.
Previously, Zhang Tie felt like crossing the river by groping for stones. The fact that an earth knight would like to join Iron-Dragon Sect was utterly different than that Zhang Tie accepted a disciple. Zhang Tie instantly felt a great sense of identity and achievement. It was an earth knight. An earth knight could be unrivaled in Waii Subcontinent. Even in Taixia Country and the Earth-elements Realm, an earth knight could be on the same footing with a provincial governor.
Zhang Tie knew that this was the bonus of one's moral quality. When he stayed with Mountain Lifting Hermit, he gained the recognition of Mountain Lifting Hermit. Therefore, Mountain Lifting Hermit wanted to join Iron-Dragon Sect. Otherwise, as an earth knight, he could establish a sect wherever he wanted. Even if he didn't establish a sect, he could also be treated as a distinguished guest or employed elder among the top 7 sects in Taixia Country. How could he condescend to join such a small sect like Iron-Dragon Sect?
"I'm always alone. As long as younger brother doesn't dislike it, this elder brother can take care of the sect for you!" At the sight of Zhang Tie's happy look, Mountain Lifting Hermit felt warm inside as his look turned amiable too.
Zhang Tie said with a solemn look, "Elder brother, I'm so happy that elder brother could join my small temple. However, as Iron-Dragon Sect has just been established, everything has not been on the right track yet. It's a bit shabby. As long as elder brother doesn't dislike it!"
"To be honest, over the years, there have been quite a few sects and clans that have invited me to join, but I've always felt like I'm missing something. I've never thought about it, but after getting to know you, brother, I realized that what I'm missing is actually one word — ease of worry!" Mountain Lifting Hermit sighed with emotions, "Compared to joining other major sects and clans, as long as I stay with younger brother, I would never be concerned about your conspiracy. I don't need to plot against others every day; neither do I need to worry about being framed by others every day. Everything is simple. I could find a home for myself and a safe place for me when I'm injured!"
"Elder brother, don't worry. If elder brother joins Iron-Dragon Sect, you will be the grand elder of Iron-Dragon Sect. Our sect is located in Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks in Yangui Mountain, Northeast Military Region. After a few days, elder brother could take a look there when you go back with me. If elder brother likes a peak among the Eighteen Xuantian Eighteen Mountain Peaks, I will hand it to you. Elder brother could decide everything on the mountain peaks by yourself or have some disciples to pass on your Mountain Embracing Sutra!"
"Younger brother, you've long been thinking about my Mountain Embracing Sutra?" Mountain Lifting Hermit watched Zhang Tie with a faint smile.
Zhang Tie replied with a drooling face, "If elder brother doesn't have some disciples to pass on such a count-level classic, it would be a waste!"
After exchanging a glance with each other, the two people burst out into laughter at the same time.
"I also want to be the sole owner of a mountain peak in Iron-Dragon Sect!" Bai Suxian who had been listening to the talk between Zhang Tie and Mountain Lifting Hermit like a little wife suddenly opened her mouth.
"You also want it?" Zhang Tie turned around and threw a glance at Bai Suxian. Bai Suxian had not mentioned this before, "Can you follow me wherever I am? Why do you want to be the sole owner of a mountain peak?"
"No, I want it, I want it..." Bai Suxian pouted as she directly pulled Zhang Tie's hand and acted like a spoiled child in front of Zhang Tie.
"Ahem... ahem..." Mountain Lifting Hermit coughed twice as he watched Zhang Tie, "Younger brother, could you talk about the secret between you and Miss Bai in private? As I'm old, I couldn't stand the stimulation of young people like you!"
Before Zhang Tie responded, Bai Suxian's face had blushed as she replied, "Mountain Lifting Hermit, you're not serious at all!"
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he waved his hand, "Fine, when we go back, you can choose which mountain peak you like!"
"That's more like it!" Bai Suxian became satisfied too.
"Younger brother, hasn't your order of arrest been canceled by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country a few days ago? You're already free now, why..."
"Although the order of arrest has been canceled, the culprit has not been found out. Therefore, I don't prepare to recover my original look in a short period!"
"If you need my help with this matter, just let me know!" Mountain Lifting Hermit said with a solemn look. Although it was just a simple sentence, Zhang Tie knew that Mountain Lifting Hermit's words were much more solemn than others who patted their chests and said that they would go through a mountain of blades and a sea of flames. This was the temperament of Mountain Lifting Hermit.
"Don't worry, elder brother, I will never be polite to you from now on!"
"Then how many people know your true identity now?"
"Elder brother, you, Bai Suxian and my elder brother Zhang Yang. As for the others, even my parents and the elders of Huaiyuan Palace don't know that Cui LI is Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie is Cui LI!"
"Younger brother, what do you plan to do in the future? After all, you couldn't use the identity of Cui LI for the rest of your life!"
"To be honest, elder brother, I've been thinking about it these days. I want to expose my real identity to the public at the right time!" After considering it for a while, Zhang Tie said seriously, "Actually, I'm not ambitious. I just like to live a tranquil life with my wife and kids. It's good as long as I have enough money and friends on my side. Previously, I always thought that I could avoid troubles by being low-key; however, after coming to Taixia Country these years, I found that it's more effective to make them afraid of you than to let them not notice you. In this world, the most persuasive thing is not your mouth, but your fist. The so-called peace is not begging others not to hurt you; neither is you being obedient when others hurt you; instead, it's preventing others from hurting you!"
"If there's such a day, my younger brother's body-changing bloodline would definitely shock the world. By then, I'm afraid that those who want to kill my younger brother would not be able to sleep at night at the thought of my younger brother's body-changing bloodline. To put it bluntly, if Huaiyuan Palace is exterminated one day, as long as my younger brother could survive, you could make the enemies of Huaiyuan Palace sleepless for the rest of their lives with your body-changing bloodline. I wonder when would my younger brother take revenge? If an earth knight like my younger brother really bears it and starts to fight at the risk of his life, even the top 7 sects would have a headache!" After throwing a glance at Zhang Tie, Mountain Lifting Hermit said solemnly, "By then, common rascals would indeed be shocked by your ability; however, if I'm the enemy of Huaiyuan Palace and your clan and want to deal with Huaiyuan Palace and your clan, I have to kill you first; otherwise, I would not do it at all. In this way, you would be the shield and umbrella of the entire Huaiyuan Palace and your clan. All the contradictions and pressures would be concentrated on you. If I don't break through you, I would not be able to deal with Huaiyuan Palace and your clan!"
"If a man could protect his family members, relatives, parents and brothers, he would have no regrets even if he died!" Zhang Tie revealed a frank smile, "Isn't this the natural responsibility of a man? As an earth knight, it's the greatest honor for me to have people on my side live a better life because of me, to see their smiling faces and to know that they could still be free from fear in the chaotic world. I don't seek to be famous among the feudal lords; I don't seek for fame, wealth, power and hegemony; I don't even seek to stand on the top of the knights one day. I only hope that people on my side could always have a happy and unbullied smiling face! I would like to do everything that I could for such a smiling face! "
After hearing this, Bai Suxian tightly held Zhang Tie's hands with sparkling eyes. After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Mountain Lifting Hermit became silent for a short while before letting out a sigh, "Younger brother, based on your words, I'm not as good as you!"
"Elder brother, each person has his own ambition. Elder brother's way is on the top of the knights; my way is at home, on the smiling faces of people on my side!"
"What about my Dao?" Bai Suxian interrupted and asked.
"Your way is to be obedient on my side!" Zhang Tie told Bai Suxian with a smile.
"I know, master..." Bai Suxian replied in a sweet voice as her eyes were full of happiness.
"Ahem... ahem... younger brother, if you don't do that, this elder brother will really die!"
"Hahaha, well, I will not stimulate you anymore. Elder brother said that you were going to leave Heavens Seal Inn before meeting us today. Where are you going?"
"I'm going to Treasures Complex. It's said that the pieces of God's Star from a subcontinent would be exhibited there today. Additionally, some space-teleportation equipment might be sold there. Therefore, I want to take a look there!"
Zhang Tie and Bai Suxian exchanged a smile with each other, "What a coincidence! It seems that we're destined to meet elder brother today. We are also going to take a look at Treasures Complex!"
"Let's go!"
"Let's go!"
Zhang Tie and Mountain Lifting Hermit burst out into laughter as they left Mountain Lifting Hermit's courtyard in Heavens Seal Inn for Treasures Complex.
In the communication just now, as Mountain Lifting Hermit had determined to join Iron-Dragon Sect, Bai Suxian also followed suit. As a result, the relationship between the three people was closer than before.
Mountain Lifting Hermit's common name was Gan. Therefore, Bai Suxian directly called Mountain Lifting Hermit senior fellow apprentice Gan. Mountain Lifting Hermit also called Bai Suxian junior sister apprentice Bai. According to Mountain Lifting Hermit's suggestion, it didn't matter how they called Zhang Tie in private; however, in Xuanyuan Hill; especially in Gold and Power Market, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Bai Suxian should call Zhang Tie master so as to display Zhang Tie's identity and the status of Iron-Dragon Sect.
Of course, Bai Suxian agreed with Mountain Lifting Hermit's suggestion readily. Therefore, this event was settled in Zhang Tie's ineffectual objection.
Zhang Tie was very curious about this piece of God's Star in Treasures Meeting...
The three of them didn't slow down at all. After leaving the Tianxu Inn, it only took them a short while to arrive in front of a magnificent and majestic building that was filled with a rich Chinese style.
Above the 10-m high main gate of the building, there were two big words — — Treasures Complex! (To be continued.)
