“Ahh, there are very few knights in Youzhou Province.”
“Youzhou Province was just a barren province a few years ago. It has just been established. The province is vast and sparsely popted. It’s already something for them to have these knights...”
“They even assigned 2 top beauties. They really feast my eyes.” One guy said while clicking on his tongue.
As very few knights came from Youzhou Province, the 43 knights attracted the attention of many other knights, causing hot discussions...
As they had few people, Bai Suxian, Guo Hongyi and Zhang Tie became very special. In Taixia Country, the number of female knights was much fewer than that of male knights. It could be said that female knights were rarities in Taixia Country. Any female knight would attract great attention wherever they were, not to mention Bai Suxian and Guo Hongyi who were distant and brilliant respectively.
Zhang Tie was more outstanding. Among all the knights at present, no one else was younger than Zhang Tie. Among the other knights, the youngest ones were ck iron knights who were at their 20s. Given Zhang Tie’s look, he was absolutely like a teenager. Even a 17-year old ck iron knight would be the focus of the public, not to mention that Bai Suxian was standing on Zhang Tie’s side like a well-behaved wife. Being set off by such a brilliant and mature female knight, of course, Zhang Tie was most eye-catching at present.
“Who’s that 17-year old knight beside that female knight over there? How could he be so young?”
Many eye lights were thrown onto Zhang Tie.
“It’s said that there’s a young talent in Gu n of Youzhou Province called Gu Qingyun. He’s been a knight at a young age. Is that person Gu Qingyun...”
“Impossible. Haven’t you seen the 3 people in yellow clothes? They are elders of Gu n. I know Elder Gu Qinglong. That young man is not on the side of Gu elders...”
“No more guesses. The youngest knight among the knights from Youzhou Province is Zhang Tie, Qianji Hermit, also the owner of Iron-Dragon Sect. The female knight on his side is the princess of Lord Guangnan’s Mansion...”
“Yes, yes, yes. That person is Zhang Tie the Qianji Hermit. I remember his photo when Qianji Hermit was framed by Heavens Reaching Church and wanted by the Supreme Court a few years ago. His looks remain unchanged...”
“It’s said that Qianji Hermit could maintain his young look and that he favored mature and brilliant women. It seems true...”
Hearing those discussions in the surroundings, Bai Suxian threw a nce at Zhang Tie with a kind smile. Zhang Tie stroked his nose bashfully as he swore, ‘Damn, they don’t talk about so many good things that I did in Fire-Dragon Bounty Territory; but only pay attention to which kind of woman I like. Are all knights that gossipy?’
In the discussions, an airboatnded as another team of knights got off the airboat. Thetest team of knights then walked over here from afar. Before arriving at the drill ground, one person among those knights had burst out intoughter, arising the attention of so many people at present.
“Hahaha, I’ve not imagined that I could meet Qianji Hermit here. After the fight with the hermit, I’ve got some new enlightenment on fix position. It’s a pleasant thing in my life to fight demons together with Qianji Hermit in the west border of Taixia Country...” Nangong Sheng strode out of those knights as he said while cupping his fists towards Zhang Tie.
Nangong Sheng said loudly with a passionate and heroic look. He expressed the fact that he was defeated by Zhang Tie in another manner as he felt that it was not a shame or a failure but manifesting that he was qualified to fight Qianji Hermit. After hearing his words, many knights on the drill ground moved their eyes onto Nangong Sheng’s face.
Zhang Tie was clear about Nangong Sheng’s thought; however, out of kindness, people with a smile should not be beaten. After suffering a loss in front of Zhang Tie, Nangong Sheng had changed his attitude towards Zhang Tie greatly and respected him pretty much. In his rotating chakra ceremony, Nangong Sheng even sent a heavy gift to him; therefore, Zhang Tie would not make Nangong Sheng embarrassed at this moment.
Nangong Sheng just liked putting on his airs and was a bit obsessed with fame and gain. Although he was good at sailing with the wind, he was not too evil or vicious. Of course, Zhang Tie could forgive him.
Under the gaze of the public, Zhang Tie also cupped his fists towards Nangong Sheng as he said, “Master Nangong, I’m overpraised. I’m just fulfilling my responsibility after receiving the Xuanyuanmand. By contrast, Immortal Fist Position Sect is more generous. In order to respond to Xuanyuanmand, all the owner and the elders of your sect havee. I really admire about the loyalty and braveness of master Nangong and the other two elders of Immortal Fist Position Sect!”
After hearing Zhang Tie’s praise, Nangong Sheng immediately looked as brilliant as being shone by a searchlight. Even the two elders behind him chested out unconsciously. Nangong Sheng nced around as if he was a hero before replying, “Thanks for your praise, Qianji Hermit. All the knights of Iron-Dragon Sect have arrived too. Besides hermit, Mountain Lifting Hermit and Princess Bai had also arrived. You’re more admirable. Hopefully, I could see hermit’s powerful fist position on the battlefield in a few days...”
Zhang Tie knew that Nangong Sheng might not know that 2 more elders had joined Iron-Dragon Sect. However, he didn’t need to exin it to Nangong Sheng at this moment; instead, Zhang Tie just nodded with a smile. Closely after that, Nangong Sheng and the other two elders of Immortal Fist Position stood in the region of knights from Yanzhou Province.
The talk between Nangong Sheng and Zhang Tie confirmed Zhang Tie’s identity. Through their talk, the others also knew that Iron-Dragon Sect and Immortal Fist Position assigned both owner and all their elders to respond to Xuanyuanmand. To be honest, Iron-Dragon Sect and Immortal Fist Position were really “loyal and brave”.
Therefore, Iron-Dragon Sect and Immortal Fist Position won many people’s respect at once.
The other airboats constantlynded as more and more knights got off the airboat and entered their own region on the drill ground.
Compared to the constantly growing number of knights from the other provinces, the number of knights from Youzhou Province remained unchanged.
The knights of Zhu n the Yanzhou provincial governor’s n and Qian n the Tongzhou provincial governor’s n also arrived constantly. All the n elders who were familiar with Zhang Tie greeted Zhang Tie by nodding towards him with a smile or having a brief talk with Zhang Tie. Watching all this, many people who were observing Zhang Tie stealthily made a newment on Qianji Hermit——Qianji Hermit is not only powerful and famous but also have a high poprity. He’s never that kind of narcissistic person.
As more and more knights arrived at the drill ground, Zhang Tie sensed the great power of Taixia Country as the center of humans for the first time.
The entire 8 provinces across the northeast military region assigned over 10,000 knights here. Except for Youzhou Province, each of the other provinces had assigned at least 1,000 knights here. Among them, major provinces such as Qiongzhou Province, Yanzhou Province, Huizhou Province and Chaozhou Province assigned about 2,000 knights here respectively. Such a contingent of human knights was unimaginable in Waii Subcontinent.
Many knights at present wore clothes with the same color and uniform. At the sight of them, people would know that they came from the same n.
Zhu n the Yanzhou provincial governor’s n assigned 18 knights; Qian n the Tongzhou provincial governor’s n assigned 11 knights. The number of knights assigned by the two ns was at most average among those ns in Yanzhou Province and Tongzhou Province. In the region of knights from Tongzhou Province and Yanzhou Province, many ns assigned 20-30 knights here.
“Although there’re ns who have the history of thousands of years in Taixia Country, there are no provincial governors who were in office for over 100 years. Except for the position of Youzhou provincial governor which waspeted for when Youzhou Province was established, all the provincial governors in other provinces are directly appointed by the supreme court or Xuanyuan Hill. The provincial governor from one n could at most serve a few times from over 10 years to dozens of years. After that, they would either promote to higher positions or resign. Actually, all the major ns in each province had provincial governors. In many people’s eyes, if a n could have a provincial governor, that n would be a major n. The provincial governors of Qian n and Zhu n have just been in office for a few years; it was reasonable that their ns’ backgrounds couldn’t match that of the other ns in Yanzhou Province and Tongzhou Province. Those major ns which could assign dozens of n knights might have n members serve in Xuanyuan Hill or the top 4 armies in Taixia Country or be unrivaled in one region as an independent sect or have a bosom rtionship with the top 7 sects of Taixia Country even if they do not have provincial governor at present.”
When Zhang Tie was wondering about such a grand scene, Bai Suxian told him in secret means which helped Zhang Tie see light suddenly.
After the two ns’ knights arrived here for a few minutes, an odd-looking airboat declined. Closely after that, the hatch door was opened while a team of over 200 knights in red-ck boa silk robe got off the airboat under the leadership of a shadow knight, which included over 20 earth knights. They were all steady and solemn. Each of them wore a bamboo hat with a rectangr, odd-looking luggage on their back. The moment they got off the airboat, they had entered the region for knights from Mozhou Province, increasing the number of knights in Mozhou Province greatly. As a result, it aroused the attention of the public.
“They’re knights of Fraternity Pce from Mozhou Province...”
“Mo’s head n...”
Someone eximed...
