Zhang Tie walked calmly out of Feng Cangwu's small courtyard. The first to spot him were the Long Wind Guards of Huaiyuan Hall, who were currently patrolling Zhang Family Manor.
When the three knights had shot into the sky like streaks of lightning and flowing light, the Long Wind Guards had already been alerted. But they had no idea what had happened and could only speculate whether Elder Mu Shen had returned. Then they saw Zhang Tie walking calmly along the path...
The Long Wind Guards were all dumbstruck.
"Hard work," Zhang Tie merely said, nodding at the small squad of Long Wind Guards who had frozen upon seeing him.
"E-Elder Mu Shen..." The few Long Wind Guards had yet to recover from the shock of Zhang Tie's sudden appearance at home.
Zhang Tie said no more and headed straight for the main residence.
After standing there in a daze for a moment, the Long Wind Guards sprang into action. The entire Zhang Family Manor immediately entered its highest state of alert.
No matter what sort of wanted manhunt Zhang Tie faced outside, within Huaiyuan Hall, his authority and standing were beyond question. At this very moment, Zhang Tie was still a family elder of Huaiyuan Hall.
Along the way, Zhang Tie ran into several servants of Zhang Family Manor. Seeing him, they too were stunned speechless.
Zhang Tie was not worried that someone might run off to inform on him and create some melodramatic farce. If the Zhang family and Huaiyuan Hall could not even keep the few people in the manor under control at a time like this, if they did not even have that much confidence, then what the hell were they still doing?
Besides, he would not be staying home for long.
