Chapter 1081: Being Clear-minded

If Zhang Tie was drinking at this moment, he must be choked by Bai Suxian.
'I told this woman my secret; however, this woman is worried about being abandoned because of her age.'
It seemed that this woman had not thought what Zhang Tie was worried about. What she was really worried about shocked Zhang Tie a bit.
However, Zhang Tie knew that Bai Suxian was not kidding with him. She was intense for sure. Like all the other women, although Bai Suxian was a female knight, she still didn't pay her full attention to her battle strength. If Zhang Tie covered his real identity in front of Bai Suxian, she might be narrow-minded and do anything possible when she discovered that secret.
"No, I won't!" Zhang Tie replied with a solemn look.
"Really?" Bai Suxian asked.
"Really. Otherwise, how could we stay with each other at this moment? With body changing immortal bloodline, I could change my figure instead of my appreciation of beauty and insight!" Zhang Tie pulled Bai Suxian's hand and kissed it before watching Bai Suxian with a serious look, "Additionally, you don't look old at all. You look as mature and womanly like Linda."
"Who's Linda?"
"One of my wives!"
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Bai Suxian's face glowed with health. She didn't care about the fact that Zhang Tie had wives at all; instead, she approached to Zhang Tie's face and kissed him before revealing a smile by covering her mouth with a hand like a bashful little girl, which fascinated Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie was really speechless after knowing that Bai Suxian accepted his original identity so fast in such a way. He didn't know whether he was thinking too much or Bai Suxian was too special who liked young men previously. His original look even made her more excited.
However, he didn't need to care about this question anymore.
Not until she watched Zhang Tie from his head to his toe with a fascinated look did Bai Suxian recall something, "Oh, have your order for arrest been canceled? Why did you not reveal your original look to the public?'
Zhang Tie replied with a faint frown, "I have some concerns!"
"What concerns?"
"The culprit of the tragedy in Fuhai City has not been caught yet. Additionally, this event in Zhongzhou Province was also caused by the same culprit. The culprit's power is fully out of my imagination. Additionally, he has many arrangements in Taixia Country. The moment my real identity is exposed, my movement will be too eye-catching in Taixia Country..." Zhang Tie then revealed another shocking news to Bai Suxian after being silent for a few seconds, "Additionally, I've almost confirmed that that culprit colluded with demons and is hiding in Xuanyuan Hill. He's one of the top 9 chancellors in Taixia Country. That man might be the mysterious founder of Heavens Reaching Church who has not shown his face yet. With the identity of Cui Li, I could search for the clues of that culprit secretly in case of arousing his attention. If I revealed my real identity, I might not do that!"
Apparently, Bai Suxian was startled by Zhang Tie's news. Compared to the secret that Zhang Tie had awakened his body changing immortal bloodline, the secret that Zhang Tie could simulate the effects of the other secret methods sounded like detonating a nuclear bomb.
'One of the top nine chancellors in Xuanyuan Hill might be the most mysterious founder of Heavens Reaching Church and might be colluding with demons and setting up bloody seas in all the provinces across Taixia Country.' The moment this news was exposed to the public, it would arouse a great shock for sure.
Bai Suxian didn't ask how Zhang Tie got this news. Because she knew that Zhang Tie was not rash. Even when they fought shoulder to shoulder in the Earth-elements Realm, Zhang Tie was not rash, not to mention now. Additionally, now that Zhang Tie had revealed his real identity to her, he would never make such a joke with her. As long as this news was exposed to the public, it would arouse a great trouble, which was not good for Zhang Tie or her.
Bai Suxian didn't ask how Zhang Tie confirmed that there was some problem with one of the top nine chancellors in Taixia Country. As a clear woman, she knew that everyone had secrets. Even Lord Guangnan, her dad would not tell everything to her, not to mention others. What Zhang Tie had told her today had satisfied her very much. She knew that Zhang Tie had treated her as his beloved one.
After thinking a while, Bai Suxian's face turned unprecedently solemn, "What's your plan now? Will you keep the identity of Cui Li for the rest of your life?"
Zhang Tie shook his head as he revealed a bitter smile, "Previously, I felt that the culprit would let go Huaiyuan Palace and my family members as long as I didn't show my face. However, what happened at the city gate of Jinwu City a few days ago warned me that it was more sophisticated than that I could imagine. That culprit still assigned killers to Jinwu City to assassinate my dad and almost made it. I found that I could not avoid from something only by hiding myself. Lately, I was also thinking whether that culprit would be scared of me and not aim at Huaiyuan Palace and Zhang Clan if I exposed my real identity, the fact that I've promoted to an earth knight and awakened an immortal bloodline to the public!"
"Are you regretful?"
"A bit!" Zhang Tie put it straight. He didn't feel anything shameful at all. He just watched the clouds outside the airboat with a vacant look as he continued in a low and angry voice, "During these years when I escaped, I always thought about this question. I'm just a small black iron knight. There are at least 200,000 people like me in Taixia Country. Why am I so f*cking unfortunate? Why did I meet such an event soon after I came to Taixia Country? Why did I offend such a powerful one who wants to kill me as fast as possible? Through consideration, I found only one reason, namely, I've absolutely offended that person when I killed the shadow demon and inflicted a great loss to the Heavens Reaching Church in Youzhou Province when I served as the chief justice of the Youzhou Provincial Court. He felt a bit threat from me; therefore, he framed me!"
"Damn, if I have long known that the situation in Taixia Country is so sophisticated, I would not be that desperate when I came to Taixia Country at the beginning. I could adopt the Gobbling Party as my enemy because the animosity was left by my ancestor. As a descendant of Huaiyuan Palace, as long as I have the blood of my ancestor, I have to revenge for Huaiyuan Palace no matter how difficult it is. But why do I offend Heavens Reaching Church?"
"The chaos in Taixia has nothing to do with me. The rebel of that culprit has nothing to do with me. Whether the founder of Heavens Reaching Church wants to be Emperor Xuanyuan has nothing to do with me. The death of numerous commoners has nothing to do with me. In each holy war, numerous people would be killed. This father has witnessed the death of hundreds of millions of people and the perdition of over 100 human countries in Waii Subcontinent. I've climbed out of the piles of corpses so many times safe and sound, even if many people would die in Youzhou Province, it has nothing to do with me."
"Even the moguls in Xuanyuan Hill, the major clans, the Gobbling Party, the imperial prince, the top 7 sects and the missing Emperor Xuanyuan are not anxious about these events, why am I anxious about it? Who the f*ck am I? Why do I involve in such a mire? Even my family members would be involved. I even became a wanted criminal across Taixia Country and could only hide here and there every day. I almost lost my life. If I have known about this result, this father would have returned to my home and live a peaceful life with my family members and just play Taichi Fist Position with commoners every day!"
"If Taixia Country really perished, I would escape away with my family members. I would take away as many people as possible with my full effort. Whatever, my family escaped all the way from another subcontinent. It's nothing serious for us to escape one more time. This father doesn't owe any copper coin to Taixia Country. Why do I worry about Taixia Country so much? Why would I be wronged out of no reason in Taixia country and escape like a dog? A few years ago, I couldn't even see my family members. I've not even seen my sons yet. My parents have been old. They are worried about me everyday. My dad was almost assassinated and could almost not see me for the last time. Most of my mom's hair has turned white these 4 years. F*ck..."
Zhang Tie finally vented his discontent and chagrin which had buried in his heart for so many years at that moment. When he mentioned that his dad was almost assassinated and his mom's hair had turned white, Zhang Tie's eyes turned red as he almost dropped off his tears. If he didn't say it, very few people in Taixia Country could understand him. If he could stay with his family members, who the f*ck would like to be wanted criminals? Who the f*ck would like to live in a fake identity? Zhang Tie felt especially sorry for his family members' concern about him...
Men would not cry unless they were touched in one aspect.
Watching Zhang Tie dropping his tears, Bai Suxian dropped off her tears too. At this moment, Bai Suxian felt her heart aching like being burned by a burning joss stick. It ached too much. It was Bai Suxian's first time to drop tears for a man in her life...
Bai Suxian didn't understand how many burdens Zhang Tie shouldered until this moment. In others' eyes, this man looked prestigious and happy; however, very few people in Taixia Country could understand how painful, aggrieved and guilty this man was and what a great stress and pain this man was sustaining when his poem "The Beloved Ones" spread over Taixia country and he was wanted by the Supreme Court although he had made great meritorious deeds in Taixia Country.
Bai Suxian felt that she indeed understood her beloved man at this moment. This man was real, venerable, adorable and made Bai Suxian treasure him very much.
Bai Suxian smiled with tears as she helped Zhang Tie to wipe off his tears, "I see, you're angry about that. I know that you would do that too if time went by even if it's dangerous. You did that so as to save a few more commoners like those that you knew in Blackhot City, including your neighbors, juveniles who grew up with you and your teachers and students at the school. You will not watch them die in front of you or being killed by someone else, will you?"
Zhang Tie became silent as he realized Bai Suxian was right. He was indeed venting his discontent just now. If time really flew by, when he knew that Heavens Reaching Church would cause trouble in Youzhou Province and that Master Jiang was a shadow demon, he would absolutely eliminate these scumbags without any hesitation, sparing no chance to them. It was too empty and hypocritical if he said that he did this for Taixia Country; however, Zhang Tie really didn't want to see those commoners being involved in the dark forces and die innocently as cannon fodder.
Bai Suxian's words touched Zhang Tie completely.
In this world, nothing was predictable. There might be great darkness in brightness. Similarly, there might be surprises in the dilemma.
If he met his sons, Zhang Tie would tell them, "The one who poisoned you with love potion in the Earth-elements Realm might also be your first lover in Taixia Country."
Zhang Tie let out a deep sigh. After venting his discontent, Zhang Tie felt a bit relaxed and suddenly became clear-minded. He thought through something and became decisive at once.
Zhang Tie wiped off Bai Suxian's tears tenderly as he said, "When we finished our task, we would return to Fire Dragon Bounty Territory to live happily. Taixia Country is so large. Some things could not be determined by me. In my position, if I think too much, I'm just seeking trouble myself. We only need to reflect ourselves and adjust to changing circumstances. 3 years later, after you observed mourning for your grandma, I would go to Lord Guangnan's Mansion to seek a marriage alliance and marry you. How about that?"
Bai Suxian watched Zhang Tie as she couldn't help bursting out into laughter and nodding forcefully. Although she dreamed about this day too, she couldn't mention it on her own initiative because she was afraid that this man looked down upon her. Therefore, she was pretty hesitated. She had not imagined that this day could come so fast. In the wink of an eye, her expectation had become reality as Bai Suxian was immersed in sweetness and happiness once again.
It was still cloudy and rainy outside the airboat while thunders could be faintly heard. After looking at the scenery outside the airboat once again, Zhang Tie became clear-minded and a bit relaxed at once. With a faint smile and a pair of profound sparkling eyes, he seemed to be able to see through the future...
They would arrive at Pingsha Valley in less than 1 hour...
