In the blink of an eye, 6 days had almost passed. After 7 days, the mourning hall would be removed and the old man would be buried. The funeral of the old man would come to an end.
As for the following things, the Zhang family would do it once every seven days, and they would do it in batches, so it wouldn't be so tiring. After six times, the old master's funeral would be over.
In order to fulfill the old man's dying wish, Zhang Tie also gave Alexander, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie a Hua name these days. Zhang Tie had long made a plan about this. Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to do it when Alexander, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie were a bit older. However, now that it was the old man's dying wish, it was fine for him to do it earlier.
After negotiating with his dad, Zhang Tie fixed the Hua names of Alexander, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie.
Like Zhang Chengan, Zhang Chengba, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie, Alexander, Zhang Tie and Zhang Tie also had the character "Cheng" in Zhang family. As they all came from Ice and Snow Wilderness, their names had their own meanings.
Alexander meant defender. Therefore, Alexander's Hua name was Zhang Chengwei.
Andre meant brave. Therefore, Andre's Hua name was Zhang Chengyong.
Matvei meant gift from God. Therefore, Matvei's Hua name was Zhang Chengli.
Anatoly also meant defender and protector, which was similar to Alexander. Therefore, Zhang Tie named Anatoly as Zhang Baojian.
Victor meant winner. Therefore, Victor's Hua name was Zhang Chengsheng.
Igor meant the beloved son of the God of Wealth. Therefore, Igor's Hua name was Zhang Chengfu.
Oleg meant sacred. Therefore, Oleg's Hua name was Zhang Chengdao.
Nicholas meant great victory. Therefore, Nicholas's Hua name was Zhang Chengwei.
Lev meant lion. Therefore, Lev's Hua name was Zhang Chenghou. Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to name Lev as Zhang Chengshi. However, this name was rejected by Zhang Tie's dad. Zhang Tie's dad said it was not good to have a name with fierce beasts. After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Tie felt lion's roar was very loud. However, it didn't sound good to add the word "roar" to his name. Therefore, Zhang Tie settled his name with the word "Hou" which sounded similar to the word "roar".
To be honest, Zhang Tie didn't know much about Hua culture. Additionally, he didn't read too many ancient Hua books. Therefore, he didn't know how to choose a name. However, Alexander, Lev and Zhang Tie were very happy with Hua names.
On the 7th day, all the major clans in Taixia Country had arrived. After staying in Golden Light City for one day, they left Golden Light City. Even Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi left Golden Light City and returned to Threespring Prefecture on the second day. On the 7th day, those who came here to offer their condolences were basically local people in Youzhou Province and Yanghe Prefecture. Zhang Tie didn't need to attend to them. His uncles in the old mansion could receive them well.
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that he didn't need to meet anyone on this day. However, the steward brought him a message. Therefore, Zhang Tie had to run out of the courtyard behind the old mansion to receive some people in person.
They were Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi. They were all Zhang Tie's senior sister apprentices in Hidden Dragon Palace and Zhang Tie's good friends. Since they parted from each other in Heavens Cold City in Waii Subcontinent, Zhang Tie had not seen them for 16 years, not including the time when Zhang Tie stayed in the tower of time.
Therefore, when the steward mentioned the names of Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi, Zhang Tie became stunned for a second. He didn't even have the steward bring them here; instead, he went to meet them himself.
Zhang Tie saw the three senior sister apprentices in the parlor beside the mourning hall.
Over the past 16 years, Zhang Tie's look remained unchanged; however, Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi had already become outstanding beauties from young girls at the beginning.
When Zhang Tie opened the curtain and entered the parlor, the three pairs of beautiful eyes had fixated onto Zhang Tie's face at once.
At the beginning, there were pure friendship and ambiguous sentiments among young people. Zhang Tie and Ma Aiyun even had a one-night stand in Heavens Cold City. Therefore, Zhang Tie couldn't stand to be thrilled at the sight of the three people again.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem In the parlor, the eight eyes of the four people looked at each other from head to toe for one minute. Even though Zhang Tie had many words to say, he didn't know what to say.
"Senior sister apprentices, you're still so beautiful and enchanting after 16 years …" Zhang Tie broke the silence after a long while.
"We dare not be the senior sister apprentices of the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace!" Gu Caidie said with a faint smile with her bright eyes and white teeth, "If other elders heard your words, we would be miserable. Just call us by our names. Very few people across Taixia Country dare say that they're your senior sister apprentices!"
"Fine, I will call you by your names, Caidie, Ziyi and Aiyun. The three names sound better!" Zhang Tie revealed a carefree smile.
"Aren't you afraid that the women at home will be jealous of you? Although we haven't seen you these years, we've heard about your love affairs!" Yuan Ziyi also opened her mouth as she took a casual glance at Ma Aiyun.
"Don't worry about that. I can protect my family …" Zhang Tie said solemnly as he patted his chest like how he used to joke with his senior sister apprentices in Hidden Dragon Island. After hearing this sentence, the three women couldn't stand bursting out into laughter at once. The estrangement between them after 16 years seemed to have melted in a split second.
After that, Zhang Tie invited them to take a seat and had someone serve tea. After that, he chatted with the three senior sister apprentices in the parlor and learned about their recent situation.
After returning to Taixia Country from Waii Sub-continent, the three people had been staying in Huaiyuan City in Yingzhou Province. Huaiyuan City in Yingzhou Province was also a stronghold and clan territory of Huaiyuan Palace in Taixia Country. However, as that place was far away from Youzhou Province, the three people rarely returned to Youzhou Province these years.
Huaiyuan Palace also built a place similar to Hidden Dragon Island on an island nearby Huaiyuan City. It was used to cultivate clan elites who were transferred to Taixia Country from Waii Sub-continent. As the three people were talented in cultivation and could persist in it, they didn't promote to LV 9 at the same time until 2 years ago when they could leave their clan base in Huaiyuan City and recover their freedom to a certain extent.
This time, the three people received the task of Long Wind Business Group at the same time. Therefore, they could come to Youzhou Province together and pay their condolence to Zhang Tie in Golden Light City …
