Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem

Immortalwood Plains was one of the largest Bazis within the territory of South Border, which covered over 10 million square miles. As one of the core areas of Kunzhou Province in South Border, it was also the location of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

Zhang Tie’s airboat parked outside Guangnan City.

Guangnan City was the most prosperous Class A city in South Border. Covering almost 6,000 square miles, Guangnan City had a population of about 100 million people.

Guangnan City was as prosperous as the capitals of Immortal provinces. If not being told that he was in South Border, except for the towering tree with huge crowds on the roadside, people could barely believe that they were in South Border.

Zhang Tie’s vehicle moved all the way into the city from the airport outside. Because of his arrival, all the roads from the airport outside the city to Lord Guangnan’s Mansion were in traffic control, manifesting the magnificence of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was located in the center of Guangnan City, the structure of which was similar to that of the emperor’s imperial city. Besides, the mansion was girdled by a river. The entire mansion covered 60 square miles with city walls 55 m in height. Teams of fighters were guarding the city on the city walls in bright outfit. Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was no smaller than a small city.

Not until the fleet arrived at Lord Guangnan’s Mansion did Zhang Tie know that his airboat could actually park inside the Lord Guangnan’s Mansion. However, Lord Guangnan’s Mansion urged him to park his airboat outside the city while implementing traffic control on some traffic arteries in Guangnan City in an ostentatious manner. He did that for announcing to the rest of the world that the renowned Qianji Immortal was going to be the son-in-law of Lord Guangnan as he came to Guangnan City for proposing marriage to the princess of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion.

The result was that the news of Zhang Tie’s arrival had already spread over the city before he arrived at Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, arousing an uproar.

The gate in the middle of the gate of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion was opened widely for welcoming Zhang Tie. From the city gate all the way to Lord Guangnan’s Mansion, there were beautiful maids lifting a basket of flowers in each one meter standing on both sides of the road, face to face and a tough man in golden outfit. Their vehicle drove on the red carpet and the petals that were falling off the sky.

It was Zhang Tie’s first time to see such a luxurious hailing pattern.

Since he got off the airboat, Zhang Tie had already become a bosom friend of Bai Zhengxi. Bai Zhengxi felt so regretful that he had not seen Zhang Tie earlier as he almost drew him away for an overnight drink if not the latter was here for proposing marriage to Bai Suxian.

After getting off the vehicle, Zhang Tie saw a handsome middle-aged man who looked faintly similar to Bai Suxian and Bai Zhengnan with a majestic look in a ceremonial robe with a pattern of a three-clawed golden dragon on it. Followed by generals and officials of different knight levels in gloomy outfit, he fixated onto Zhang Tie with gleaming eyes at a porch.

This person was outstanding among the crowd of knights. He was extremely dignified and exceptional as his eyes were as penetrative and sharp as that of a hawk. Zhang Tie immediately knew who he was.

“Lord...” Zhang Tie bowed towards him politely.

Watching Zhang Tie, that person’s eyes shone out of curiosity as he observed Zhang Tie carefully from his head to his toe. After that, he stroked his beautiful beard which reached his breast and burst out into laughter, “Not bad; not bad!”

“Dad, what’re you doing? How could you hail your son-in-law in this way? With so many uncles at present, are you planning a murder or what?” Bai Suxian moved out of Zhang Tie’s back as she started to condemn Lord Guangnan in a spoiled manner.

After hearing Bai Suxian’s words, everybody revealed a smile. Lord Guangnan burst into laughter as he told Zhang Tie, “Girls are always standing on the side of their husbands. Look, the moment you arrive, I have to stand aside. My second elder brother Ruicheng said that you had great physical strength and drinking capacity and you’ve subdued all of his subordinates. These brothers on my side don’t admit defeat easily when it comes to drinking; they’re waiting for having a contest with you at the table today!”

“Haha, uncles were modest that day. They didn’t mean to compete with me at all!” Zhang Tie answered while all the knight-level generals and officials at present exchanged a glance with each other as they all favored Zhang Tie inside.

Zhang Tie had already been renowned around the world. After the battle at the bank of Weishui River, many people compared Zhang Tie with Fairy Ocean King. At such a young age, it was great for him to treat Lord Guangnan’s myrmidons modestly and kindly. Therefore, even Lord Guangnan nodded inside.

Not to mention that Zhang Tie had cured his brother’s disease concerning poisonous insects when he came to Xuanyuan Hill for the first time. Of course, he would not refuse such a son-in-law. Bai Suxian really had a special insight.

After a short chat, Lord Guangnan Bai Runtian simply held Zhang Tie’s arm as he led the latter into the mansion, directly to the seat.

Today, Lord Guangnan held a grand banquet for receiving Zhang Tie while more than 800 people including civil officials, officers, myrmidons and the relatives of Lord Guannan were present.

Of course, such a banquet would be especially boisterous. Zhang Tie, like a giant panda, won attractions incessantly from every corner and nook of the lobby.

Before taking a seat, Bai Suxian maintained a smile. However, after taking a seat, she murmured beside Zhang Tie “b*tch” as her look turned gloomy the moment Fang Xinyi showed up.

It was not Zhang Tie’s first time to see Fang Xinyi. Honestly, Zhang Tie didn’t feel that she was disgusting; nor did he feel that she was a good woman.

In beautiful and colorful circular-jade headwears, Fang Xinyi looked dignified and decent being utterly different than that one in Xuanyuan Hill. She was already the queen of Lord Guangnan. Zhang Tie realized that Lord Guangnan had already married her officially after Bai Suxian’s grandma passed away for three years.

At the sight of her, Lord Guangnan’s eyes shone.

Watching Fang Xinyi sitting beside Lord Guangnan decently and womanly, Zhang Tie really wondered why Lord Guangnan was fascinated by her. No matter what, a man’s feelings towards a woman was hard to interpret. If Miss Diana showed up, the others at present might also wonder why Zhang Tie lost his mind over such a foreign lady.
