After hearing this louder and longer report, everybody at present was shocked. Because the lucky time had not arrived, many people were still whispering to each other in a group of two or three. Many guests were not in their own seats, which looked a bit impolite…
However, the moment they heard this report, all the guests had responded to it. The younger ones rapidly ran to the front of their clans’ seats. As for those dignified knights and elders, after being faintly dumbfounded, they whispered to each other a few more words before walking to seats of their own clans and sects too.
Even those disciples of Immortal Fist Position Sect who were talking free in the venue just now had closed their mouths. No matter what, these small figures below knight level were not qualified to speak in front of an earth knight. If they were still speaking ill of Fire Dragon Hermit when he was at present, it was equal to posing a challenge to Fire Dragon Hermit and profane the dignity of an earth knight. They dared never be such presumptuous.
After exchanging a glance with each other, the master and two elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect remained silent.
In the venue, Nangong Sheng the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect and Lu Dingzhi the master of Lu Clan were the only two earth knights. Being different than Lu Dingzhi who was like a personable uncle, Nangong Sheng had a square, faintly black face with slim eyes and snow-white long beard in a towering crown which was made of violet gold being inlaid with alchemist’s gemstones. Additionally, he wore a grand robe which was embroidered with sun, moons, stars, flowers, birds, fish and insects and a pair of 3-level boat-shaped shoes with tiger head which was made of golden silk. Two beautiful female twins were standing behind him, one was holding a sword by two hands, the other was holding a long vase by two hands. However, the two female twins both looked like tender yet enchanting boys. They looked like kids on the sides of the legendary immortals. Given that grand ostentation, it was absolutely an immortal hermit and one of the masters of the top seven sects in Taixia Country.
All the others turned around to see Zhang Tie; however, Nangong Sheng just slightly inclined his face to see Zhang Tie. He just touched his snow-white long beard and looked at Zhang Tie in a restrained and arrogant way.
When Nangong Sheng touched his long beard, the finger ring on that hand became especially eye-catching. A nanobead was clearly inlaid in it. The finger ring was a rare space-teleportation item.
Within the expectation of everybody at present, Zhang Tie strode out alone.
The moment Zhang Tie appeared, his height, sturdy figure and that symbolic bald head had won the applaud of many guests insideWhat a tough man!
Compared to Nangong Sheng, the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect, Zhang Tie didn’t wear anything surplus.
Zhang Tie directly came to the center of the main stage of the venue. At first, he cupped his hands towards all the guests at present with a solemn look silently. At the sight of this, all the knights, elders and masters at present cupped their hands towards Zhang Tie too. Nangong Sheng and two elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect also cupped their hands towards Zhang Tie in a casual way; instead of making trouble at once.
When cupping his hands towards them, Zhang Tie had noticed all the people at the present. He had almost seen 1/3 of those at present when he competed for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Zhang Taixuan. As for those whom he had not met before, he could guess their identities according to the seats of the clans and sects.
Of course, Zhang Tie had noticed the bad looks of the team of Immortal Fist Position Sect.
At the sight of the immortal look of Nagong Sheng, the master of Immortal Fist Position Sect, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter inside at once, ‘Fck, are you acting in an opera or telling a story? This dad has seen so many earth knights in Earth-elements Realm; however, none of them are as extravagant as you. Even shadow knights could not match you. If you dress like this in Earth-elements Realm, they would think that you’re a heavenly knight, f
ck!’
After touching his bald head, Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he said,
Now that this Cui has arrived, although it’s still 20 minutes away from the official appearance time, I think it’s unnecessary for me to waste your time here. Therefore, I just came out to talk with you for a while. After all, it’s the first time for me to open a sect just like a bride entering the palanquin. If I offend you due to lack of consideration, please forgive me.
Fire Dragon Hermit, you’re too modest!
The moment Zhang Tie uttered, all the others started to reply with a smile. The atmosphere was very relaxing.
The moment they heard Zhang Tie’s words, most of them at present had felt that Fire Dragon Hermit was generous and kind-hearted. Such a kind of person could easily win people’s favor. However, it was just their feeling about Zhang Tie according to his prologue. As the old saying went, nobody could promote to a knight without hardships. Even those people who could promote to black iron knights were uneasy, not to mention an earth knight.
Zhang Tie continued,
It’s my great honor that you could attend the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect. I’m very happy. Therefore, I should be polite to you. However, it’s too boring only by speaking politely. This Cui doesn’t like boring things. Whatever, the opening ceremonies don’t have a fixed pattern across Taixia Country besides having a dinner and knowing each other. Therefore, I want to make the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect festive like how those stores would do when they opened by holding a promotion or stuff for a good fortune. I also brought you an activity to please you after you traveled so long to Xuantian City. Isn’t it good enough if we could solve things happily?
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, many knights at present exchanged glances with each other, except for Elder Muyu and Lu Dingzhi who looked at Zhang Tie seriously. Given their looks, all the female knights at present were interested in Zhang Tie; especially Guo Hongyi, the master of Guo Clan had fallen in love with Zhang Tie the moment he strode out with a great qi field.
Actually, women were like men in many aspects. Different men would like different types of women; similarly, different women would also like different types of men. Some liked gentlemen; some liked cynical ones; some liked shy ones; some like immortal ones; however, Guo Hongyi liked masculine ones. Pitifully, few men were masculine in Guo Hongyi’s eyes. Compared to this woman, many men felt that they were like women, not to mention masculinity.
Soon after Zhang Tie finished his words, an elder of Immortal Fist Position Sect had sneered,
Fire Dragon Hermit, you’re really funny. Do you mean that we can enjoy a discount or draw lots for a prize here like what those pedlars did in the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect…
Although the words of the Immortal Fist Position Sect sounded like an inquiry, it was more like an irony.
After hearing the words of the elder of Immortal Fist Position Sect, the venue became quiet at once. Everybody at present confirmed that Immortal Fist Position Sect’s representatives arrived with evil intent. Now that they dared find trouble at the beginning, they were definitely here to ruin the opening ceremony.
When the elder of Immortal Fist Position Sect opened his mouth, Nangong Sheng was still touching his long beard as if he had not heard it. Therefore, everybody at present understood that the master and the elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect had long reached an agreement.
In Taixia Country, it almost became a tradition that someone would find trouble in the opening ceremonies of fighting clubs in towns or sects in some mountains. If someone disliked you, they would find you trouble. The opening ceremony and washing hands in the golden basin would become the best place for them to do that. In Taixia Country, there were examples that the opening ceremonies of some sects founded by knights were ruined by someone. However, it was Fire Dragon Hermit’s first time to come to Northeast Military Region in the bounty territory rewarded by the central government; additionally, he had no animosity with local major clans; therefore, nobody at present could imagine that someone dared find him trouble here at the beginning.
Everybody was waiting for Fire Dragon Hermit’s response. It was the best moment for them to understand Fire Dragon Hermit’s temperament just like that unyielding grasses would be identified in heavy wind and real gold could be identified in raging fire.
Many people felt thrilled inside.
That bro in the seat of Immortal Fist Position Sect, may I know your name?
Zhang Tie still asked with a big smile as if he had not noticed the irony in the elder’s tone.
I’m Mo Qi, an elder of Immortal Fist Position Sect!
The elder of Immortal Fist Position Sect answered with a faint sneer. He didn’t even stand up.
Hahaha…
Zhang Tie burst out into laughter as he pointed at Elder Mo Qi of Immortal Fist Position Sect and said,
Elder Mo Qi, how could you be so smart with such a tiny head? You’re really the worm in my maw. How could you hit my mind so easily only by moving your tiny mouth a few times? Not bad. This Cui is really preparing to hold a game by hitting golden eggs in the opening ceremony…
Tiny head
,
Tiny mouth
, hearing the two phrases, most of the knights twitched their facial muscles and tried their best to not burst out into laughter. Some female knights couldn’t stand giggling; however, they hurriedly stopped…
Elder Mo Qi looked a bit thin. He was indeed smaller than Cui Li in terms of figure. No matter what, the phrases
Tiny head
and
Tiny mouth
sounded weird and made people simmer with laughter…
Elder Mo Qi didn’t know that he was seeking stigma by quarreling with Zhang Tie who had practiced it with so many people from all walks of life in different groceries. He was not even in Zhang Tie’s league…
