Castle of Black Iron-Chapter 1982 - Question and Answer

Watching the three people in front of him, especially his daughter Zhang Shini and the little boy who called him grandpa next to his daughter, Zhang Tie felt complex. Before the battle at Yinhai Desert, Shini, Zhang Tie’s favorite daughter was still behaving in a spoiled manner in his arms. Unexpectedly, after he came back, his daughter had already become a wife and a mother…

All parents would be moved to see their children become parents.

Being purely political, the marriage between Zhang Chenglei and Princess Peacepursuit was the bond between Jinwu Palace and the late Crown Prince Changying. It had been fixed before the battle at Yinhai Desert. Additionally, Zhang Chenglei and Zhang Tie’s daughter-in-law were always courteous to each other and had already had three sons and one daughter. Both parties were very satisfied with this marriage.

However, the marriage between Zhang Shini and Xuanyuan Yunfei was not out of political purpose; instead, it was love.

Xuanyuan Yunfei was Princess Peacepursuit’s junior brother who shared the same father with Princess Peacepursuit. After marrying Zhang Chenglei, Princess Peacepursuit gave birth to two sons after a few years. Then, the new family went to Xuanyuan Hill to visit Princess Peacepursuit’s parents. At that time, Zhang Shini followed her eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law to Xuanyuan Hill for the purpose of sightseeing, where she got acquainted with Xuanyuan Yunfei. As Zhang Shini and Xuanyuan Yunfei were both in their puberty, they gradually fell in love with each other.

Later on, although Zhang Shini had already left Xuanyuan Hill, she always contacted Xuanyuan Yunfei. The two people would meet once or twice a year.

When the two people grew mature and reached the proper age for marriage, Zhang Shini and Xuanyuan Yunfei confessed their secret to their own families. With the consent of the parents of both parties, the two people smoothly got married. The marriage between Zhang Shini and Xuanyuan Yunfei further strengthened the relationship between Jinwu Palace and the party of late Crown Prince Changying.

Zhang Shini, who had already become a mother, was already a black iron knight. Her battle force was even much greater than that of Xuanyuan Yunfei, who was not even a knight. Xuanyuan Yunfei looked handsome and similar to late Crown Prince Changying; however, he was not as domineering as late Crown Prince Changying; instead, he looked like an elegant scholar. Zhang Shini was also lenient and tender like Linda. They were really a perfect couple.

“Shini, you’ve already grown up. Get up. Let’s talk about it later…” Zhang Tie watched the three people for a few seconds with complex moods. After that, he slightly waved his hand, causing the three people to stand up with a wisp of tender battle qi, which poured out of the earth’s surface.

It might be Xuanyuan Zhu’s first time to be lifted by a sage-level knight with battle qi. When he slowly got up, he was apparently shocked with a flurried look. However, he didn’t shout; instead, he recovered his composure immediately. It was hard for a 7-year old boy to make it. Therefore, Zhang Tie cast one more glance at his grandson.

“Who taught you in normal times?” Zhang Tie bent over and asked Xuanyuan Zhu with a pleasant look.

“Grandpa, My parents teach me and supervise my learning usually. Since last year when I was 6 years old, I have started to attend Mr. Fang’s classes five days a week!” Xuanyuan Zhu answered with a clear and innocent voice.

‘Mr. Fang…’ Zhang Tie immediately recalled a familiar image. Only one person could be called Mr. Fang by the party of late Crown Prince Changying, namely the adviser of late Crown Prince Changying.

“I’ve got a question for you.” Zhang Tie said with a smile.

After hearing that Zhang Tie was going to ask Xuanyuan Zhu about one question, all the others near the airboat fixated onto Xuanyuan Zhu.

“Please go ahead, grandpa!” Xuanyuan Zhu took in a deep breath before chesting out and saying, “I will definitely tell you all that I know honestly. If I don’t know about the answer, I will study hard when I come back!”

“Okay, do you know how to make rice brew?”

“Yes, I do!”

Zhang Tie’s question sounded a bit strange; however, Xuanyuan Zhu’s answer was such resolute without any hesitation. Watching this scene, all the others in the surroundings remained silent.

“How do you know it?”

“Mom always made rice brew in the mansion. Mom’s rice brew is aromatic and sweet. I like eating it the most. As I always saw mom cook it at home, I helped mom to make it and gradually learned to make it independently!”

Zhang Tie stroked Xuanyuan Zhu’s head before saying, “Not bad! When I was as old as you, I’ve also learned how to make rice brew. Do you feel it interesting to make rice brew?”

“Interesting!” Xuanyuan Zhu replied as he nodded seriously, “Well-made rice brew is yummy. Besides, Mr. Fang has taught me about the philosophy of rice brew!”

“What philosophy?”

“Mr. Fang told me that all the affairs concerning rice and food are very significant in the world. Nothing else is more important than that. With rice and food, we could live, work, read and cultivate; with rice and food, Xuanyuan Hill could run, fighters in the frontline could have strength to fight demons. Therefore, before deciding whether one could do something or not or what degree could he reach by doing that, he should see whether he could have food or not by doing that. For instance, when one is hungry, one would not be able to cultivate, go too far or have a good play. Mr. Fang said that demons were bad; because they didn’t want us to enjoy food steadfastly. If we’re happy or have enough food, demons would be unhappy about that and would destroy such good days…”

“Hahaha, not bad…” Zhang Tie laughed as he stroked Xuanyuan Zhu’s head. After that, he drew Xuanyuan Zhu’s hand and asked Xuanyuan Zhu to walk together with him.

Watching this scene, many people changed their attitude about Xuanyuan Zhu at once.

…

Later on, Zhang Tie coordinated with them and had brief talks with or nodded towards all the three councilors, nine ministers and all the other dignitaries and ambassadors from all the other countries. After that, being escorted by big crowds, he pulled Xuanyuan Zhu into an open limo and had Xuanyuan Zhu sit on his side. After that, the vehicle drove out of the airport with the guard of honor.

It was Pangu Avenue on the central axis of Xuanyuan Hill outside the airport. It had long been in a shocking commotion on both sides of Pangu Avenue. There were full of colorful flags and a dark sense of people on both sides of the avenue and the square. Many people reached their upper bodies and heads out of the windows of the buildings on both sides of Pangu Avenue. Even the roofs of the buildings on both sides of Pangu Avenue had been crowded with people.

Elite fighters in full-body armors which were responsible for the safety of Xuanyuan Hill were standing on both sides of Pangu Avenue, one person per meter. They were maintaining the order on the avenue and preventing onlookers from pouring into the road.

“Monarch Qianji…”

“Monarch Qianji is coming…”

As Zhang Tie appeared, the crowd on both sides of the avenue were instantly in hubbubs as their cheers became as overwhelming as a tsunami. In an instant, the entire Xuanyuan Hill roared like a silent volcano suddenly erupted.

With the boom of engines, 108 heavy airplanes flew over the sky above Pangu Avenue with colorful smokes, leaving a brilliant rainbow in the sky…

Sitting in the open limo, Zhang Tie was waving his hand towards those civilians on both sides of the avenue. Tens of thousands of maidens were scattering their peach petals towards Zhang Tie’s fleet on roadside stones and on the roadside buildings. The entire Pangu Avenue was instantly submerged in the ocean of cheer and fresh flowers.

After being depressed by the holy war for so long, Taixia Country and the civilians in Xuanyuan Hill urgently demanded such a spirited and festive celebration…

In such a festive and inspiring celebration, Zhang Tie could clearly sense that numerous moods turned into colorful energies that couldn’t be discovered by ordinary people and entered the realm of moods at any time across Xuanyuan Hill. The jubilant and inspiring positive energy was completely opposite to those kinds of negative energy on the battlefields. Such energies couldn’t be absorbed by and were hated by the supreme demon powerhouses.

Xuanyuan Hill was the heart of Taixia Country. What happened here could instantly reach the rest of the country. Only after a short while, Zhang Tie had felt that more and more positive energy was entering the realm of moods within tens of thousands of miles in Xuanyuan Hill, many of them were completely consistent with the energy of belief. Zhang Tie could directly absorb and utilize such energy and form his own immortal chakra…

At this moment, Zhang Tie finally understood why Emperor Xuanyuan as the descendant of Dragon Emperor didn’t establish an immortal palace in Taixia Country; because the title and position of Emperor Xuanyuan was the very belief of hundreds of millions of Hua civilians…
