Castle of Black Iron

After entering the skyline, Zhang Tie found it was such a hidden place. The skyline was not straight, but as curved as a snake. It was a crevice above the skyline. There were some vigorous pine trees in the crevice. Those pine trees were twisting their bodies in the crimson crevice and reached part of their bodies out of the skyline. They desired the sunshine, rain and dew. Those pine needles made this place more hidden. It was indeed difficult for commoners to find this place.

The entire crevice was higher than 20 m. The narrowest place could allow two people to pass shoulder to shoulder. Under the crevice, Zhang Tie could see an artificially paved path and stone stairs. However, the path seemed to have existed for long. Few people might use that path. Therefore, the stone stairs in shadows had been covered with mosses.

After passing by this crevice, Zhang Tie found the scenary suddenly became open. It was another spectacular scenary.

The mountain peaks on both sides formed a huge gap here. Being surrounded by mountain peaks and cliffs, this place looked very tranquil. A patch of pine trees covered hundreds of thousands of square meters on the plain land at the hillside. There was a classical mansion in the pine trees. It contained more than 30 rooms. Trees made pleasant shades; fresh flowers could be seen everywhere. A lively mountain brook flew by the west side of the mansion. It twisted among the rooms like a jade belt, leading to some more classical and natural stone bridges and water ponds in the mansion. After then, the brook flew towards the pine woods in the far. Finally, it turned into a mist and flew off the hillside, spraying over the valley, making this place more mysterious…

This place was indeed a good place for living in seclusion. It was elegant, tranquil and natural. It was far away from bustles. Even Zhang Tie wondered how did these women of Yin-Yang Sect find this place.

At this moment, he vaguely saw some female disciples of Yin-Yang Sect in this mansion and the pine woods.

Some female disciples were playing zither in the patch of pine woods; some were reading books in the pavilion of that mansion. Some were in cultivation with crossed legs. They all looked very leisure…

In such a secluded place, when he caught sight of so many beauties living here, he almost thought they were fairy maidens in the mountain.

After the maiden in purple skirt and metal wings entered this place, she directly landed in front of an attic in the mansion before folding her metal wings.

“Master, I’ve got back the herbal medicine seeds,” the maiden spoke to a person inside the attic with great respect.

When the maiden spoke, Zhang Tie had already secretly followed her to the front of this attic.

At this moment, the gate on the first floor of the attic was opened from inside as a top beauty with a coquettish frame in white skirt walked out of there.

Of course, she was Su Haimei.

“Great. We can plant those seeds tomorrow. Zi Yi, you and Bingbing will be in charge of the herbal garden from now on…”

“Yes, master!”

“Have you met any trouble on the way back from Dongliang City?”

“Smooth on the way. I didn’t find being traced by anyone!”

“Hmm, you can leave…”

“Yes, master!”

The maiden called Zi Yi then left there. Su Haimei stood outside the gate and gazed at the valley in the far for a short while. After that, she heaved a sigh slightly before turning around and going back into her room.

Zhang Tie, being invisible, had already flashed into the room before Su Haimei entered her room.

The room was simple, elegant, warm and cozy. It was filled with the special qi of women.

There was another woman in the room——Ying Feiqiong.

Ying Feiqiong was sitting on a soft bed. There was a small teapoy on the soft bed. On the teapoy was a checkerboard. Apparently, the two women were playing the game of go over there.

“Haimei, why do you take the trouble to do this?” Ying Feiqiong sighed as she watched Su Haimei with a complex expression, “You stood 20 seconds outside the door. Haimei, your mind is somewhat unhinged. Now that you miss him so much, why do you insist on hiding yourself from him?”

After returning to the opposite of Ying Feiqiong, Su Haimei sighed slightly and said, “In the eyes of outsiders, Yin-Yang Sect is a notorious heresy that everyone wants to exterminate; you and I are shameless sluts. If we’re on his side, how would the other people judge him? How would those people in Dragon Emperor City and Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace judge him? If he keeps sluts like us on his side, he would become regarded as being indulged in lewdness. After killing two demon emperors in Nine Heavens Big Domain, he has been the No.1 powerhouse in Motian Realm and is going to have his heyday with great prestige and a bright future. At this moment, we couldn’t do any help to him; instead, we could only stain his fame. If so, why not just enter secluded cultivate here? We will stay away from the secular world and don’t have to worry about being chased by others. Neither will we be stained with secular affairs. Isn’t that what we wanted before…”

“He should be crystal clear of our moral standing. How could he mistake us as sluts?”

“I know he won’t mistake us as that kind of person. He saved us once in Cyanlotus City; he saved us in Deities Plain again. From then on, we don’t have to live in such a flurried way anymore. Additionally, he saved you and me for the third time in Mountain Ruins. I don’t know how to pay him back. On this occasion, how could we ruin his reputation?” Su Haimei said as she took a look at Ying Feiqiong.

“Feiqiong, if you want to find him, just leave here. I’m afraid that you might not be able to hold another man in your heart anymore. When in Cyanlotus City, you had already been moved by him. However, you didn’t fall in love with him as deeply as I did at that moment. However, when you and I were saved by Zhang Tie in Mountain Ruins that day, I found you’ve completely fallen in love with him…”

“Haimei…” Ying Feiqiong’s face flushed at once.

“Feiqiong, you don’t have to speak anymore. We’re all women. We’ve been staying with each other since we joined Yin-Yang Sect. I understand you just like how you understand me. If you meet him, don’t tell him that I’m here…”

“Haimei, I’m not that kind of a person. Now that you like to stay here. I would like to stay here too…”

At this moment, the two women both became silent. After heaving a sigh, they both watched the checkerboard with complex looks as they didn’t feel like continuing playing it.

At this moment, Zhang Tie finally knew why those women of the Yin-Yang sect didn’t wait for him in Dragon Emperor City; instead, they all hid here. As a result, Zhang Tie was moved and was at a loss of whether to cry or laugh. He had not imagined that the reason that they left him was for the sake of his fame. They didn’t want his fame to be ruined because of them.

Listening to their talk, Zhang Tie realized that they might have not known that their secluded place had been exposed to the public. ‘Was it Jiang Ruoxin who went to Dragon Emperor City and left those words to him without their consent?’

“It’s late. Ruoxin, go to bed first. I’m going back to sleep…” After losing interest in playing the game of go, Ying Feiqiong left the soft bed and picked herself up. Then, she bad a farewell to Su Haimei and intended to leave.

“Hmm, I will walk you out…” Su Haimei also picked herself up.

At this moment, Zhang Tie’s voice appeared in the room, “Are you going to leave now? But I’ve just come here!”

After hearing his voice, Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong who had just picked themselves up were instantly frozen.

At this moment, Zhang Tie showed up and stood right in front of them.

“Your… Your Majesty…” Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong almost didn’t believe in their eyes. But Zhang Tie was indeed in front of them. They felt like having a dream.

“Hahaha, I’m looking for you hard!” Zhang Tie watched them with a smile as he continued, “Call Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin here. I’ve not seen them for long…”

After a few minutes, when Ji Yuelan and Jiang Ruoxin entered this room and saw Zhang Tie, their expressions became frozen just like their masters did.

The door was then closed from inside. At this moment, the other female disciples of Yin-Yang Sect might not have known about Zhang Tie’s arrival. As a result, the five people were in weird silence at once. The four women exchanged glances with each other silently as their faces blushed strangely.

Previously, as masters and apprentices, it was normal for the four women to stay together. However, when Zhang Tie was among them, a bizarre chemical reaction happened.

When embarrassment, amorous feeling, restlessness and excitement mixed with the subtlety in the air, the odd atmosphere became as rich as a sage-level powerhouse’s realm.

To be honest, it was Zhang Tie’s first time to face such a situation. However, as a man, he had to break the silence first.

Facing this situation, Zhang Tie had no other choice but to cut the knot.

“Ahem, ahem…” After coughing twice slightly, Zhang Tie glanced over the four women’s faces and said, “I’m going to leave soon. I’m going to leave Motian Realm. I might not come back for a long period of time. I’m especially here to bid a farewell to you. But now I’ve got a question to ask you. Who would like to leave Motian Realm together with me and be my woman? After marrying me, you have to be contented with me. Consider about it. If you don’t like it, just take it as a farewell. From then on, we will separate from each other without any concern. If any of you like it, just go upstairs for me…”

After leaving these words, Zhang Tie went upstairs and left the four women downstairs.

“Master, I’d like to leave with Zhang Tie. I’d like to be with him wherever he goes…” Ji Yuelan instantly stood up and went upstairs with strong will closely after Zhang Tie.

“As a disciple of Yin-Yang Sect, it’s too tired for me to live in Motian Realm. I want to change my living style…” Jiang Ruoxin said with a smile. After stroking the hair near her temples, she stood up and followed Ji Yuelan upstairs too, leaving Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong downstairs.

Faces flushed, they couldn’t move their feet.

Finally, after a few minutes, Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong exchanged a glance with each other. Then, they gritted their teeth and went upstairs at the same time…

When Su Haimei and Ying Feiqiong went upstairs, Zhang Tie’s voice finally drifted from upstairs.

“Ahem… ahem… it’s late. Let’s take a rest…”

Closely after his voice, faint bizarre energy covered the attic immediately. As a result, none of the sounds upstairs could be heard from outside…

At this moment, the moon had already come out; however, it hid in clouds bashfully in the blink of an eye…
