Aleem
In the rhythm of 45 bell rings, Zhang Tie appeared in the spot of the Ancestral Shrine Palace.
All the guests in the auditorium unconsciously turned around to see Zhang Tie slowly walking towards them in a casual and confident way like the moon being surrounded by a myriad of stars.
Many guests had seen Zhang Tie before. Therefore, when they saw Zhang Tie once again, they were not shocked too much. However, at Zhang Tie’s look which was as young as that of a teenager, all those who had not seen Zhang Tie before widely opened their mouths.
‘He’s too young. What an excessively young earth knight!’ Zhang Tie had just celebrated his 30th birthday last year. After one more month, he would be 31 years old. A 30-year old earth knight was definitely rarely seen among the top 7 sects of Taixia Country, not to mention that Zhang Tie’s look was much younger than his actual age. Given his look, he was just a teenager, who didn’t look like a clan elder at all.
Being shocked by Zhang Tie’s excessively young look, many people even forgot about the shocks caused by the two battle qi tornadoes just now.
At the sight of Zhang Tie, Bai Suxian’s eyes gleamed. By contrast, the royal highness of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion revealed an unbelievable look as if he had seen a ghost.
Young sister, after this rite, please help me ask Zhang Tie how he maintains his young look. As long as he tells me how to be that young in the next decades, when you marry him, I will gift another two cities to you as your dowry!
The royal highness told Bai Suxian in a secret way.
Bai Suxian rolled her eyes to her elder brother as she said in a secret way,
He’s innate!
Innate?
Yup, he told me that he had been struck by a lightning bolt when in Waii Subcontinent. His body has experienced some exotic changes; therefore, he could always be so young…
After hearing Bai Suxian’s explanation, the royal highness of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion became speechless. Whatever, he couldn’t try the effect of being struck by a lightning bolt. Although being an earth knight, he couldn’t guarantee that he was fine after being struck by a lightning bolt. Lightning bolts had different power, ordinary lightning bolts might not be fatal to commoners; most of the lightning bolts would not do harm to an earth knight; except for some lightning bolts, which were really ground-shaking. There was such a terrifying forbidden air zone in the south border of Taixia Country. Even shadow knights would become ashes and smoke in that air zone. After abandoning the thought of being struck by lightning bolts, the royal highness could only watch Zhang Tie slowly walking towards them with a bizarre yet slightly admiring and regretful look.
Zhang Tie walked calmly under the gaze of thousands of people. He was familiar with many people in the auditorium. He had even seen many people for more than once; especially the representatives of the local major clans in Youzhou Province. At the sight of Zhang Tie here, those who had attended the competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province and the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect looked splendid.
With a smile, Zhang Tie showed his respect to those familiar ones in the auditorium by lowering his head slightly.
Zhang Tie saw Gu Qingyun in the seats of Gu Clan once again. This Gu knight who was known as former top cultivation talent in Youzhou Province was also watching Zhang Tie with a bizarre look. After looking straight into each other’s eyes, Zhang Tie kept his look unchanged; however, Gu Qingyun lowered his eye light as he lacked in self-confidence as he looked a bit frustrated. When in White Tiger Platform, Gu Qingyun was qualified to fight Zhang Tie; after all, they were both black iron knights at that time; however, only after 5 years, they had been utterly different in position, power and reputation. Who dared say that they were cultivation talents in front of Zhang Tie?
Gu Qingyun returned to Youzhou Province on January 30th as if he was especially here to attend Zhang Tie’s rotating chakra ceremony. Zhang Tie received this news from Huaiyuan Palace. At the sight of Gu Qingyun, Zhang Tie guessed that Gu Qingyun might be here on behalf of Heavens Holding Pavilion. ‘As I have no relationship with Heavens Holding Pavilion, if the knights and elders of Heavens Holding Pavilion suddenly came here, they would respect me too much. I’m afraid that Heavens Holding Pavilion is paying special attention to me; especially this time. Besides such a great influence, there are also various gossips about me. Therefore, Heavens Holding Pavilion assigns Gu Qingyun here to confirm some news; coincidentally, he’s going back home.’
Zhang Tie silently felt a bizarre sense of achievement when he saw his former opponents being stepped onto his foot on such a grand occasion.
People were growing powerful by stepping on the shoulders and heads of these people who were once arrogant in front of them. Finally, these people who were once arrogant in front of them could never catch up with them anymore.
After feeling a bizarre eye light thrown into his face, Zhang Tie turned around as he noticed that Guo Hongyi was looking at him by a complex eye light.
At this moment, Guo Hongyi was in a red brilliant longuette which made her beautiful and hot figure prominent. Additionally, she had dressed up well with especially delicate makeup. The hot figure and brilliant look matched her hot temperament pretty well, making her very charming; even some young men from major clans of Yanzhou Province and Tongzhou Province were throwing a glimpse at her.
Guo Hongyi’s eye light made Zhang Tie’s heart pound.
When he remembered that Guo Clan ruined the Morality Association across Threespring Prefecture and listed Huaiyuan Palace’s all-purpose medicaments into the storage of some cities in Threespring Prefecture, Zhang Tie’s heart raced as he told Guo Hongyi in a secret way.
Elder sister Guo is becoming more and more beautiful. I didn’t mean to cheat you when I met elder sister Guo in Xuantian City in the identity of Cui Li. I couldn’t help but do that. Please don’t blame me, elders sister Guo!
Zhang Tie’s mouth remained still; however, he had passed his words into Guo Hongyi’s ears through his battle qi.
It was out of Guo Hongyi’s imagination that Zhang Tie could talk to her in a secret way and still call her elder sister Guo like how he did at White Tiger Platform when he met her for the first time without putting on airs. Guo Hongyi’s brilliant cheeks blushed at once in a bashful way, causing the others in the surroundings who were stealing a glance at her swallow their saliva. Two elders of Guo Clan on Guo Hongyi’s side seemingly noticed something as their eye light started to swim between Zhang Tie and Guo Hongyi.
I’m already satisfied as long as you still call me elder sister!
Guo Hongyi’s sound drifted into Zhang Tie’s ears with hidden bitterness.
After hearing Guo Hongyi’s reply, Zhang Tie who had rich experience in love affairs immediately understood what did she mean. Zhang Tie revealed a bitter smile as he really didn’t know when Guo Hongyi fell in love with him. ‘We have only met 3 times and said a few words in total, plus this time. Additionally, God knows that I’ve not accosted her at all. I wonder why she could fall in love with me?’
As Zhang Tie thought about that, those familiar or strange looks flashed in front of his eyes one after another.
…
Nan Gongsheng who had found him trouble in his opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect revealed a cordial smile as if he was Zhang Tie’s old friend. All the disciples and the other elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect were looking at Zhang Tie in an awestricken manner…
Lu Zhongming and Linhuanxi were also in the auditorium. Besides being curious, they all looked at him with sincere and kind eye light, including their disciples behind them…
Zhao Clan and Yang Clan from Military Province also assigned Zhao Youxian whom Zhang Tie got acquainted with in the Earth-elements Realm and a strange Yang elder and some disciples here. Those Yang disciples looked similar to Yang Zhenjun; given their looks, they must be the juniors of Yang Zhenjun.
Fan Clan and Qin Clan from Yingzhou Province also assigned their elders here. Zhang Tie didn’t see any animosity from their eyes; instead, he saw a bit flattery from Qin elders and a little pity from Fan elders. ‘If not the accident, this young earth knight might have already married the daughter of Fan Clan and become the son-in-law of Fang Clan. Isn’t Household Register Director Fan unfortunate?’
Mountain Lifting Hermit was nodding towards Zhang Tie as he congratulated the latter in a secret way. The disciples of Iron-Dragon Sect were so excited at the sight of their master.
Donder in the ceremonial robe was also sitting on the region of Gold and Power Law while being accompanied by 3 people. Zhang Tie had met 2 of the 3 people. One of them was Guan Xiyi, the CEO of Golden Roc Bank, the other was Gongsun Liniang, a female knight whom Zhang Tie had once met in Waii Subcontinent. The rest one looked more dignified; sitting there steadily, his qi field was greater than that of Guan Xiyi and Gongsun Liniang; this guy was a dragon-head level mogul of Gold and Power Law. ‘Now that this man attends my rotating chakra ceremony, it means that Gold and Power Law want to beg for my forgiveness. Because it was Han Zhengfang, the major dragon-head of Gold and Power Law who knew my information and screwed me in Fuhai City. After Han Zhengfang’s real identity was exposed, his conspiracy was figured out too. Gold and Power Law has to give me an explanation; if not, I will have to ask for an explanation from them.’
Donder was blinking his eyes towards Zhang Tie; he would peep at Gongsun Liniang in an obscene way every now and then. ‘This guy has been growing fat these years in Jinwu City. He has a corrupt life. As he grows heavier, it seems that he’s becoming more lascivious. He even dares accost female knight…’ Zhang Tie thought.
