Chapter 1135: Train of Thoughts
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
"What's the matter? Are you tired?"
After sensing that Zhang Tie was a bit fatigued, Bai Suxian who had just got off the vehicle in the manor asked him out of concern.
When Bai Suxian stopped her footsteps, all the other maids and female servants stopped their footsteps too as they just waited aside quietly.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "It's fine, I was just thinking about something uninteresting. I will have a rest tonight!" As an earth knight, how could Zhang Tie feel tired physically; he was just mentally fatigued.
Bai Suxian nodded as she knew that Zhang Tie just wanted to be alone for a short period. Now that Zhang Tie had said that, of course, she would not fool around with Zhang Tie tonight like how they did last night. She also knew about their other purpose of Zhang Tie in Xuanyuan Hill. Although Zhang Tie looked relaxed these days, he was destined to be restless inside because of the stress and enemies that he was facing.
...
After talking with Bai Suxian for a short while and watching Bai Suxian walking towards her residence followed by a lot of maids, Zhang Tie took in a deep breath before walking towards his own residence.
His top enemy still assumed a high position in the emperor's imperial city safe and sound; however, it seemed that something bad happened to Ice and Snow Wilderness which he always treated as his firmest rear end. As a result, Elder Gulas and old wild bear Dali had to seek for allies and foreign aids with the source of beserk energy. After traveling in Xuanyuan Hill for a few days, Zhang Tie gradually understood about this human center; however, he also had two fights in an explicable way and stirred up a lot of people. Heavens Holding Pavilion was a tricky power. Although Zhang Tie was justified, he had already stirred up Heavens Holding Pavilion. If Gold and Power Law was excluded, he had already stirred up two major sects in Taixia Country, namely, Taiyi Fantasy Sect and Heavens Holding Pavilion. Before the old enemies were cleaned, the new ones had come. Additionally, the most reassured place in Zhang Tie's heart met something bad. As a result, a lot of people whom Zhang Tie was concerned about were involved in it. Therefore, Zhang Tie had a train of thoughts at once.
"Did you kill people outside today?" Uncle Zhong asked in front of Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie had to stop his footsteps.
Although Uncle Zhong looked calm, the two vertical wrinkles in his forehead as sharp as blade carried a faint killing intent. Needless to say, Zhang Tie estimated that most of the people across Xuanyuan Hill might have known what happened at the Qian Gate of Gold and Power Market today. Of course, those in the manor knew that it was Bai Suxian who was sexually harassed. Therefore, it was inconvenient for Uncle Zhong to ask the princess about that; instead, he could only verify it from Zhang Tie.
"I've already killed that b*stard on the spot. Su Xian was not agitated; she was just disgusted for a short while!" Zhang Tie told Uncle Zhong.
Uncle Zhong nodded as he said in another tone, "I've already contacted the Lord Guangnan's Mansion. You don't need to worry about this event anymore. Lord will assign someone to deal with this event. Right in this afternoon, the one who was responsible for dealing with this event had already set off by airboat at the order of Lord!"
After hearing Uncle Zhong's words, Zhang Tie knew that what happened to Bai Suxian today had not come to an end. Now that someone dared sexually harass the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion, even though that b*stard was killed by Zhang Tie on the spot, Lord Guangnan would make a further response to it. Although that damned prince had been killed, he had an elder knight on his side who was still alive. Additionally, who made him so audacious? Without reaching a satisfactory result, Lord Guangnan's Mansion would never give up.
"What's the plan of Lord Guangnan's Mansion?" Zhang Tie asked out of curiosity.
"It's just a small country in a subcontinent. It's said that some more people of that small country are still in Xuanyuan Hill. After the chief justice delivered the order to forbid anyone of that small country to enter Xuanyuan Hill, I'm afraid that those people would never come back anymore. After dealing with these guys, it depends on Lord Guangnan whether Taixia Country would assign someone to the subcontinent..." Uncle Zhong revealed a faint smile which felt a bit merciless in Zhang Tie's eyes.
'Is this the style of a lord's mansion and major clan in Taixia Country?' Zhang Tie stood in silent tribute for those people of that small country in Taixia Country although he knew that those sons of b*tches deserved the death. 'Before those sons of b*tches wanted to sexually harass Bai Suxian, they might not have imagined that such a simple evil thought could lead to such a severe outcome. Perhaps, this is why Bai Suxian was not too angry about that and didn't mention about it too much later on. I'm afraid that Bai Suxian has long known about the outcome of these b*stards. Additionally, what happened today was different than that tomorrow. The event tomorrow was more like a conflict and oral quarrel between Bai Suxian and her peers. However, what happened today had been involved with the dignity of the princess of Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
"Han Clan of Gold and Power Law might be involved with those people!" Zhang Tie reminded Uncle Zhong. Although there were so many people surnamed Han and so many major Han Clans in the world, speaking of the Han Clan of Gold and Power Law, of course, Uncle Zhong knew which one Zhang Tie referred to.
"Never mind. The master of Gold and Power Law has been serving as a minister of Taixia Country for less than 100 years; however, Lord Guangnan's Mansion has existed in the south border of Taixia Country for over 400 years. The history of Lord Guangnan's Mansion ranks first among the major clans in Taixia Country!" Uncle Zhong replied with a smile which carried arrogance rather than merciless killing intent, "Even if Lord Guangnan wants to prevent earth knights from leaving Taixia Country, nobody dares stop him, not to mention some common barbarians."
"That's right!" Zhang Tie nodded. Now that Lord Guangnan's Mansion had determined to deal with it, it was none of Zhang Tie's business anymore.
"Oh, Lord said that he wanted to meet you when you're free!" Uncle Zhong lowered his voice as he approached his head to Zhang Tie a bit as if he was whispering to Zhang Tie, "Lord has already known what happened yesterday and today. I was told by someone on Lord's side that Lord is very happy and spoke highly of your deeds. If Heavens Holding Pavilion dared find you trouble, Lord would definitely stand on your side..."
After fighting people twice for Bai Suxian and stirring up Heavens Holding Pavilion, Zhang Tie had not imagined that Bai Suxian's dad, also his would-be father-in-law, could speak highly of him, 'Is that a loss may turn out to be a gain?' Zhang Tie forced a bitter smile as he rubbed his face by his fingers for a short while after hearing Uncle Zhong's words.
Sleeping with her daughter's ladybro; assigning someone to carry out a bloody revenge as long as his daughter was upset by some barbarians; speaking highly of Zhang Tie's violent means. After combining with the above three events, Zhang Tie gradually figured out the temperament of Bai Suxian's dad. Bai Suxian's dad might be a weirdo among the Lords in Taixia Country. However, this bizarre father-in-law didn't call him to see him straightforwardly; instead, he just requested Zhang Tie to see him whenever the latter was free. Given Zhang Tie's temperament, Lord Guangnan might have known that Zhang Tie didn't stay with Bai Suxian because of her identity as a princess.
"Did my disciples come back today?"
"Not yet. I've assigned someone to follow them up. They will be fine!"
After hearing Uncle Zhong's reply, Zhang Tie became completely reassured, 'I'm afraid that my disciples have been hyper in Xuanyuan Hill these days. Why not? A team of youngsters who had just established their friendship and emotions through survival training came to Xuanyuan Hill for the first time with a great handful of gold notes in Liu Xing's hand, it was impossible for them to be not hyper. It's more like a super deluxe tour group.'
...
'I wonder how Bai Suxian told about the process that we got acquainted with each other to her dad.' Zhang Tie thought about this question when he returned to his own room after leaving Uncle Zhong.
After closing the door from inside, nobody would disturb him anymore. After entering meditation for a short while in the room and carding the train of thoughts, Zhang Tie took out a remote-sensing crystal from his space-teleportation equipment and started to contact Sarlin the Pontiff who was in Ice and Snow Wilderness.
It had been too long since he contacted Sarlin the Pontiff by this remote-sensing crystal last time.
Compared to the remote-sensing crystals in Taixia Country and the Earth-elements Realm, this piece of remote-sensing crystal that Zhang Tie brought from Ice and Snow Wilderness was a bit coarser and larger. The more advanced a remote-sensing crystal was, the smaller it would be in size. Those remote-sensing crystals that Zhan Tie gained in Earth-elements Realm were all integrated on a very small finger ring. The remote-sensing crystals on the finger rings of the elders of Huaiyuan Palace were very small too. The finger ring of Guan Elder even integrated with more than one remote-sensing crystal. This remote-sensing crystal that Zhang Tie brought from the huge bear tribe of Ice and Snow Wilderness was almost as large as a thumb.
Holding the coarse remote-sensing crystal in hand, Zhang Tie stroked it in a reminiscent way. Closely after that, he contacted with Sarlin the Pontiff by injecting his spiritual energy into it.
After sending the first signal for less than half a minute, Zhang Tie had received the response.
After confirming the opposite identities using the jargon and signal codes that they had appointed with each other in advance, Sarlin the Pontiff was very excited. Zhang Tie could even sense the thrilling spiritual wave from the other side through the remote-sensing crystal.
Zhang Tie didn't say that he had met Gulas and Dali in Xuanyuan Hill; instead, he asked about the overall situation facing Ice and Snow Wilderness straightforwardly.
——How's Ice and Snow Wilderness?
Even being the tsar of Sacred Iceland Kingdom, Zhang Tie still used to call it Ice and Snow Wilderness.
——All is well!
'All is well?' Zhang Tie faintly frowned.
——Didn't you meet any problem?
——Not yet for the time being.
——What do you mean?
——We've received the intelligence from detectives and the businessmen who did business between Ewentra Archipelago and Western Continent, the Sacred Light Empire on Western Continent might take actions against the Sacred Iceland Kingdom to revenge that Your Majesty killed their scepter priest a few years ago...
