Chapter 1609: Family Members

Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
Zhang Tie’s elder brother Zhang Yang didn’t promote to a knight. Actually, he couldn’t even bear two decades’ silence in the tower of time of Heavenly Fortune Sect. According to Zhang Yang, although he had made preparations well, when he stayed in the tower of time for 14 years, he had felt something wrong as the monotony and loneliness in the tower of time almost drove him mad. Zhang Yang even had hallucination in that environment. Additionally, he couldn’t concentrate on cultivation at all and almost became obsessed with the devil for a few times. As he couldn’t stand it anymore, he could only end his cultivation in the tower of time in advance in case of trouble.
The strict environment in the tower of time was not suitable for everyone. As Zhang Yang lacked a bit of flair in cultivation, he couldn’t bear such a long period in such an environment.
After 14 years’ cultivation using the cultivation resources that he had prepared for himself, Zhang Yang totally lit 597 surging points in the tower of time, 13 surging points away from being a LV 15 battle spirit.
When Zhang Tie saw Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang had already recovered after a few days’ rest. Although he had made great progress in battle strength, he was still scared of the tower of time.
Zhang Tie stayed at home for two days. In the daytime, he accompanied his parents and declined all the guests’ visits. In the evening, after having supper with his family members, Zhang Tie would have secret talks with Zhang Yang in the study room. Nobody knew what they talked about. Not until the person dispatched by Xuanyuan Changying arrived at Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory did Zhang Tie bid a farewell to his elder brother and his family members and leave Jinwu City.
When he left, his parents, Zhang Yang and elder sisters-in-law left the house to bid farewell to him.
“Dad, mom, take care of yourselves. I have something to deal with and have to go back to Iron-Dragon Sect…”
Under the gaze of everyone at present, Zhang Tie suddenly knelt down in front of his parents. After kowtowing three times for them, he stood up.
Zhang Yang kept watching Zhang Tie with a solemn look; instead of stopping him to do that. However, their parents were startled by Zhang Tie’s move as Zhang Tie did not do that when he bade farewell to them before.
“What are you doing? Why do you kowtow? Your dad and I are still young. When Zhang Yang and you become grandpas, we could even look after your grandchildren…” Zhang Tie’s mom cared about his son so much. When Zhang Tie stood up, his mom hurriedly walked over there as she started to blame him and cleared the dust on his pants by patting it.
“Ahem, ahem, as the head of a sect, you don’t need to kowtow for us. Thankfully, there’s no outsider here. How embarrassing it would be if it was seen by outsiders…” Zhang Tie’s dad said on one side. After a few seconds, he finally asked Zhang Tie, “I heard someone talk about black invitation cards outside yesterday. Is Taiyi Fantasy Sect finding you trouble?”
After hearing their dad’s words, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang exchanged a glance with each other. Closely after that, Zhang Yang frowned faintly. Nevertheless, Zhang Tie remained calm as usual.
“What black invitation cards? Guoguo, you have trouble? But why don’t you tell me?” Zhang Tie’s mom instantly caught the topic as she asked Zhang Tie.
“Haha, it’s nothing. Because of the discovery of Dongtian of Great Wilderness Sect in South Border, I have a small conflict with some sects. As we couldn’t solve it orally, we have to have combat…” Zhang Tie said casually.
“Erm, is it dangerous?” Zhang Tie’s mom asked him.
“Mom, you know who your son is. I was not even afraid of the demon army at the bank of Weishui River and could survive it, why am I scared of the small conflict between Iron-Dragon Sect and a couple of sects in Taixia Country? Given your son’s fame, I would not worry about Taiyi Fantasy Sect’s threat, not to mention my power!”
Zhang Tie explained loudly as if it was just a piece of cake. As his parents didn’t know the details, they believed in Zhang Tie’s words and became reassured.
“We Zhang family would neither stir up trouble nor be afraid of trouble. Guoguo, no matter what you do, your family is always on your back!” Zhang Tie’s mom expressed her stance confidently.
“However, we should always show mercy to our opponents. As for those problems which could be settled peacefully, you’d better be low-key…” Zhang Tie’s dad persuaded Zhang Tie in case of trouble.
Zhang Tie constantly nodded as if he was accepting their education modestly. After his parents finished their words, Zhang Tie turned around and saw his elder brother and elder sisters-in-law.
“Elder brother, elder sisters-in-law…” Zhang Tie told them with a smile, “When I’m not at home, you should take care of our parents; thank you in advance…”
Zhang Yang nodded while Zhang Tie’s elder sisters-in-law answered modestly hurriedly.
“Alright, I got to go…” Zhang Tie revealed a smile as he instantly flew off. After making a circle around the mansion, he flew towards Iron-Dragon Sect as fast as a lightning bolt.
Zhang Yang watched Zhang Yang flying off while he was clenching his fists forcefully, causing his fingernails white.
After Zhang Tie left home and his family members returned home, Zhang Yang instantly declared a piece of news to his parents——he would marry again a few days later.
“Aah, which family does she come from?” Zhang Tie’s mom’s eyes turned bright at once after hearing the news.
Their parents didn’t feel strange about having one more daughter-in-law. All the major clans in Taixia Country would have a lot of daughters-in-law and an array of grandchildren. Although having already got wives and concubines, Zhang Tie and Zhang Yang were relatively conservative in this aspect. Whereas, what amazed their parents was that it was Zhang Yang who posed it himself this time.
“Actually, this marriage was almost fixed by Zhang Tie for his elder brother last year. The female comes from Zuoqiu Clan in Taixia Country…”
“Zuoqiu Clan? It’s a rare family name. I’ve not heard about such a major clan in Youzhou Province and Northeast Military Region…” Zhang Tie’s dad asked out of confusion after thinking about it carefully.
“Is it Zuoqiu Clan of Biyong Palace?”
“Zuoqiu Clan of Biyong Palace?” Zhang Tie’s dad instantly widely opened his eyes. After the founding of Jinwu Palace, Zhang Tie’s dad had been learning about the famous clans in Taixia Country in case of being embarrassed. Biyong Clan was well-known across the country, which was even more famous than Huaiyuan Palace. By contrast, Huaiyuan Palace was like a rural daughter while Biyong Palace was like a princess in a lord’s mansion. This family name shocked Zhang Tie’s dad at a stroke. After a few seconds, Zhang Ping swallowed his saliva as he asked hesitantly, “Is it.. the branch of Zuoqiu Clan or…”
“She’s the direct descendant of Zuoqiu Clan who has close parental relation with Zuoqiu Mingyue the military minister of Taixia Country. With good look, talent and customs, she could be a good wife…” Zhang Yang explained calmly…
Zhang Tie’s mom didn’t know the position of Biyong Palace in Taixia Country; however, she was clear about the title of military minister in Taixia Country. Therefore, Zhang Tie’s mom was also petrified…
