Chapter 1067: A Knot

After one night's stand with Bai Suxian, Zhang Tie only had less than 3 hours' deep sleep and adjustment before waking up.
It was in a super deluxe bedroom of the airboat, which covered over 200 square meters. The top of the bedroom was a flexible crystal dome. After opening the crystal dome, they could see the stars over the sky. Additionally, there were a lot of bamboo palms, some special flowers and grasses inside the bedroom. Because of the existence of these plants, the air in the bedroom always smelt refreshing and a bit fragrant even after Zhang Tie's one night's stand with Bai Suxian.
During the period when this airboat parked in Xuantian City, all the basic hardware facilities inside the airboat such as flowers and grass remained unchanged, except for those private belongings such as beddings which were changed at Zhang Tie's request. The red brilliant lacquer over the surface of the airboat was also changed to relatively low-key silver gray at Zhang Tie's request after the opening ceremony.
He won this airboat from Taixia Fantasy Sect through a bet. No matter what, Taiyi Fantasy Sect was one of the top seven sects which had a profound background. If he showed it off everywhere, it was equal to slapping Taiyi Fantasy Sect on their face. After fighting Nangong Sheng, Zhang Tie realized that he should be low-key; therefore, he changed the color of his airboat.
No matter how great was an earth knight, if he became a thorn in the flesh of Taiyi Fantasy Sect which was a top sect in Taixia Country, this knight would not stay in Taixia Country anymore.
He had changed the color for his airboat and left some leeway for Immortal Fist Position Sect. After the two events, Zhang Tie believed that Feng Yexiao, the grand elder of Taiyi Fantasy Sect would not bring trouble to him anymore as long as he didn't have a conflict of interest with Taiyi Fantasy Sect.
Although gangsters and ruffians might cling to bring him trouble until death, top sects like Taiyi Fantasy Sect were keen on face-saving, pattern and tolerance. If they really annoyed Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie would travel across Taixia Country by this airboat and open it to commoners at the cost of only one copper coin or renovate it into an air nightclub or brothel such as Flowers Pavilion. By then, Taiyi Fantasy Sect would not bear it for sure.
Bai Suxian was sleeping pretty well on the bed in a sluggish way. From one side, her curve was pretty thrilling. After waking up, Zhang Tie didn't get up immediately; instead, he just watched Bai Suxian silently on the bed.
'I wonder what this woman would feel if she knew that I'm Zhang Tie.'
A whim occurred to Zhang Tie's mind. Even though Zhang Tie himself was not sure whether she could accept his original identity or not. After living with her these days, Zhang Tie knew that Bai Suxian really loved him although her demeanor was a bit crazy sometimes.
This time, Bai Suxian came to Fire Dragon Bounty Territory with an airboat, an earth knight and over 2,000 people, which included female and male servants, bodyguards and variously skilled craftsmen. These skilled craftsmen included over 30 chefs and pastry cooks who could make all the food that you named, tailors, instruments craftsmen, gardeners, cordwainers, shoemakers, carpenters, accountants, doctors, dare-to-die men, stewards...all of them were here to serve Bai Suxian.
At the sight of so many people, Zhang Tie was scared too much. He then knew how rich was Lord Guangnan's Mansion.
The over 2,000 people who followed Bai Suxian here were not commoners in Taixia Country; instead, they were servants whom Lord Guangnan's Mansion trained since they were young. Honestly, they were just slaves of Bai Suxian. Nominally, they were not slaves, but family servants. Actually, family servants would have more personal rights than slaves.
These family servants would be Bai Suxian's dowry in the future. That was to say, when Bai Suxian got married, these servants would also follow Bai Suxian over there to serve her.
Actually, Lord Guangnan's Mansion prepared 150,000 people like these for Bai Suxian, which contained an elite army of 100,000 bodyguards.
Followed by 150,000 people, an airboat and an earth knight who called himself "this old slave", Bai Suxian was definitely going to be a respectable figure instead of being a wife.
If not being afraid that Zhang Tie disliked that, Bai Suxian would definitely bring more than 2,000 followers this time.
After Bai Suxian returned to Lord Guangnan's Mansion, she only had a chance to see her grandma for the last time. After seeing Bai Suxian for the last time, the grand madam of Lord Guangnan's Mansion passed away.
After observing mourning for her grandma for 49 days, when Bai Suxian received Zhang Tie's golden invitation letter, she arrived here followed by that earth knight. The "old slave" was left by her grandma who was responsible for protecting her.
According to Bai Suxian, because of the death of her grandma, her dad was forbidden to marry new concubines within at least 3 years. Therefore, Fang Xinyi who wanted to be her step-mother could only wait for 3 years. Additionally, Bai Suxian didn't want to stay in Lord Guangnan's Mansion anymore; therefore, she just came here to find Cui Li with only a small part of her dowry.
When Zhang Tie saw her followers, he was not angry. These days, Bai Suxian was very spirited; especially after she boarded the airboat and heard that Zhang Tie's apprentices call her master's wife privately, Bai Suxian was happier.
Zhang Tie didn't know whether Bai Suxian was trying to test the relationship between him and her with the over 2,000 followers. Even Zhang Tie wondered about the current identity of Bai Suxian, 'lover, friend, comrade-in-arms, paramour or fiancee?'
If it was just an average one night's stand, Zhang Tie didn't need to think too much about that. Now that Bai Suxian had fallen in love with him, of course, Zhang Tie had to treat this marriage seriously. No matter what, Zhang Tie didn't want to hurt a woman who treated him sincerely. No matter what the woman's identity was, a man who hurt his woman's heart was definitely a bad man. Zhang Tie didn't want to be that bad man.
'But...will I really become Lord Guangnan's son-in-law?'
'In which identity, Cui Li or Zhang Tie? If she knows that my current identity and looks are all fake, will this woman accept it and not want to kill me around the world with so many knight-level powerhouses from Lord Guangnan's Mansion?'
Whenever Zhang Tie thought about this, he would feel muddle-headed faintly.
Watching Bai Suxian in front of him, Zhang Tie had to consider about this question seriously.
After being silently gazed for a few minutes, Bai Suxian might have sensed it as he opened her eyes and revealed an indolent smile towards Zhang Tie.
"Morning."
"Hmm!" Bai Suxian lightly replied with her nose before pushing herself into Zhang Tie's cradle like a Persian cat. She hugged Zhang Tie as she pasted her face onto Zhang Tie's chest with a big satisfied smile, "Why did you look at me in that way just now? Were you thinking about a bad idea?"
"Hoho, what bad idea would I have?" Zhang Tie replied with a smile as he patted Bai Suxian's plump butt in the quilt.
"Who knows. All men behave like that. When you eat the rice in the bowl, you will look at the dish in the pot; when you bite one in the mouth, you nip another by chopsticks; you can't even wait to press one by your butt and hook one by your leg.." Bai Suxian pouted her mouth as she gave a light bite onto Zhang Tie's chest as she continued, "Take my dad as an instance, he could find all sorts of women in the mansion; however, he preferred that foxtrel Fang Xinyi. He didn't even consider about my face in the mansion if he married that woman..."
Zhang Tie didn't want to involve in the affairs in Lord Guangnan's Mansion; neither would he comment about that. After hearing Bai Suxian's words, he just replied with a smile. However, Bai Suxian suddenly thought about something as she made a roll and pressed onto Zhang Tie's body. Closely after that, she started to whisper, "Do you like that woman called Guo Hongyi?"
"Cut the crap! Why?"
"Humph. If you don't like her, how could she get a secret pearl in Xuantian Courtyard? Have you noticed how she looked at you after getting that secret pearl? If not this humble slave was on your side, that woman might have found an excuse to stay in Xuantian Courtyard!"
"Shut up, it depended on her good luck. With so many eyes in the surroundings, how could I promise that she could get that secret pearl?"
Honestly, in the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect, besides that secret pearl of Huaiyuan Palace which was fixed by Zhang Tie in advance, all the other secret pearls were distributed according to the rules without anyone's disturbance. In this situation, Guo Hongyi still got a secret pearl by good luck. As Guo Hongyi was pretty happy at that moment, she just revealed a big smile towards Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie didn't think too much about that.
"Whatever, I think that you could have a method to have her get that secret pearl. Those rules might be available to other knights; however, you must have a method to determine who to own those secret pearls!"
Zhang Tie's heart raced. Sometimes, this woman's sixth sense and intuition were terrifying when it was involved with sex.
"If I liked her, why would I choose such a tortuous method? Why not directly gift her a silver secret item?"
"You're right!" Bai Suxian agreed. After thinking about the temperament of this man whom she was hugging, she was sure that this man would not be so stingy.
"I was thinking, what would you do if you found out that I cheated you one day?" Zhang Tie asked in a glassy-eyed look.
