Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem After returning to Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they didn't leave right away; instead, they were called into an assembly hall which was especially for immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace by Huang Baimei.
In the assembly hall, Huang Baimei was sitting in the main seat. Zhang Tie was sitting in the first seat on the left of Huang Baimei, which represented Zhang Tie's status. Leng Manxue was sitting opposite to Zhang Tie. Zhou Baifei, the toy boy, was sitting on Jiang Ruoxin's side. Jiang Ruoxin was sitting on Leng Manxue's side. All the others were sitting in their corresponding seats according to their status. It felt like a meeting between the heads of sects in Jianghu.
Although Zhang Tie looked solemn, he was actually absent-minded. Because he was clear about what happened last night, he couldn't be serious at all. Watching them in front of him, Zhang Tie recalled what he saw when he was in "spiritual travel" that day. Closely after that, Zhang Tie fixated onto Jiang Ruoxin's breasts.
It seemed a bit smaller than Ji Yuelan's. Even Leng Manxue's breasts couldn't match hers on her side. Thankfully, they were still firm. After all, they were female knights …
After making a comparison between their figures, Zhang Tie had felt two hot eye lights on his face. He looked up and saw Jiang Ruoxin glaring at him bashfully. Even Ji Yuelan who was sitting a few seats away from him was watching him with a pout. Leng Manxue seemed to sense something as she instantly moved her eyes towards Zhang Tie.
Being gazed at by the three women, Zhang Tie instantly moved his eyes away bashfully as he coughed twice in a low voice.
Thankfully, a female deacon entered at this moment, which attracted everyone's attention at once. After coming to Leng Manxue's back, the female deacon stooped down and gave something to Leng Manxue before leaving there respectfully.
The female deacon was Deacon Fan who was in the room with the toy boy Zhou Baifei that day. At this moment, Deacon Fan and Zhou Baifei disguised themselves very well as they didn't miss each other's eyes at all. However, when Deacon Fan was going to leave the assembly hall, she stealthily threw a glance at Zhou Baifei. Nobody else at present might discover that except Zhang Tie.
"What's the matter?" Huang Baimei asked in a low voice.
"I've already had them calculate the loss in Heavenly Square City last night..." Leng Manxue took a look at that piece of paper as she replied calmly.
"What's the specific loss of Heavenly Square City?"
After hearing Huang Baimei's question, Zhang Tie pricked up his ears at once.
"Last night, 17 houses collapsed in Heavenly Square City. 133 people were injured, 68 of whom were slightly injured, 43 of whom were not seriously injured, 6 of whom were seriously injured, 16 of whom were burned by strong light and temporarily lost their sight. However, they have recovered a bit and could see something now. Thankfully, when the strong earthquake spread to Heavenly Square City last night, it was not too late and most of the people had not slept yet. The 17 houses were all wooden houses which had not been maintained for a long time. When they felt the earthquake, almost half of the 17 houses were empty. Additionally, some people in some houses felt something wrong and ran out at once. Only some slower ones were smashed by the fallen wood. 4 of them were seriously injured, but they were not life-threatening …"
"What happened to those people who temporarily lost their sight?"
"They were crew members of a commercial airboat in Heavenly Square City and some people who were drinking wine and admiring the moon on a tall building. When the airboat arrived at Heavenly Square City, it had a broad vision. Those crew members were preparing goods on the deck of the airboat. The sudden strong light outside the city caught them off guard. Those who were facing that direction were instantly blinded by the dazzling white light. As a result, they didn't see anything clearly until this morning …"
"That's great. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would try its best to cure those wounded people. You could allocate some medicinal pills from the warehouse of the immortal palace to them. The 17 collapsed houses would be rebuilt by the immortal palace. As for the other buildings in the city that need to be repaired, they would be funded by the immortal palace …" Huang Baimei ordered. After being silent for a short while, he looked around and fixated onto the face of the immortal general who was sitting at the end of the room, saying, "Librarian Xun will be responsible for this …"
"Yes, sir!" That old man who looked like a teacher stood up as he accepted the order.
"Head, the noise outside the city last night made people in Heavenly Square City flurried. If people in the city ask about the reason, how should we answer them …" Zhou Baifei who was sitting on his side raised a question before Zhang Tie opened his mouth. "I'm about to talk about it.
You can assign people to post notices to pacify people in the city. Tell them that we've already made a clear investigation. A comet fell onto the ground outside Heavenly Square City last night and caused such a great noise. Don't be flurried. As all the people in Heavenly Square City are blessed by Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they could survive the disaster without causing too great a loss to Heavenly Square City … "Huang Baimei said without even frowning his eyebrows.
After hearing these words, Zhang Tie became slightly stunned. However, he understood Huang Baimei's intention in a split second. Actually, the cause of the comet last night and the huge pit outside the city didn't mean anything to the commoners in Heavenly Square City. As long as Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace could give a reasonable explanation to the commoners in the city, it would be enough for them to know that they were not in danger anymore. Meanwhile, those commoners should appreciate Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace very much. As for the truth, those commoners in the city didn't need to care about it. As for what the immortal generals at present knew, they couldn't expose it to the public. In the end, even Huang Baimei himself might not be sure about the cause of the huge pit. This might become an unsettled case in Heavenly Square City.
"Heavenly Square City is a bit turbulent now. Deputy head, please pay more attention to the situation outside Heavenly Square City with the two grand justices and Driver Jiang. If there's anything, deputy head, you could deal with it by yourself. If there's any special situation, you could contact the immortal palace at any time …"
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie was assigned a task. After hearing that Head Huang called Jiang Ruoxin driver Jiang, Zhang Tie couldn't help but laugh out. The driver of the immortal palace was utterly different than the drivers in Taixia Country; especially the drivers of experienced drivers. Literally, the driver of the immortal palace was similar to a senior scout and intelligence manager. Besides, he could also be the assistant of the head of the immortal palace or deputy head of the immortal palace. He was a versatile person in the immortal palace.
"Yes, sir!" Zhang Tie replied calmly as he threw a glance at Jiang Ruoxin. Liu brothers and Jiang Ruoxin also took the order.
"General Lu will be in charge of the Immortal Army Camp these days. If anyone dares to mislead the public or commit crimes in the chaos, General Lu will punish him severely!"
"Yes, sir!" Lu Tianqiang the tough bald man took the order.
"General Priest Zhou and Left Emissary Ji could take a look at the immortal palaces in the city these days and contact with the subordinates so as to stabilize people's morale …"
The two people who were called took the order at the same time.
"Well, if there's nothing else, you can go do your work!" After arranging their tasks, the first short conference of all the immortal generals of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City came to an end. They then stood up and left the assembly hall.
When he walked out of the gate of the assembly hall, Zhang Tie felt a bit strange inside. On one hand, Head Huang assigned tasks to them solemnly and mobilized all of them. On the other hand, Leng Manxue who was most familiar with the situation in Heavenly Square City seemed to have been forgotten by Head Huang. 'Does Leng Manxue have another task these days? But she can't tell me about it here?'
Zhang Tie thought, 'It seems that these new immortal generals have to take some time to gain the recognition of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.'
"Deputy head …" A voice drifted from Zhang Tie's back. Closely after that, the toy boy Zhou Baifei strode towards Zhang Tie with a big smile as he said, "When I saw you in the dining hall that day, I didn't know your identity. When I saw you again today, I finally understood that there's always someone better than you!"
Zhou Baifei's words were not too excessive. Even though he said it in the public, nobody would feel that he was flattering Zhang Tie. Given Zhang Tie's age and achievements, it was still implicit.
"Hahahaha, you flatter me, General Priest Zhou, you flatter me, you flatter me. General Priest Zhou is really young and promising …" Zhang Tie replied.
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zhou Baifei didn't sense Zhang Tie's sarcasm at all. Instead, he said with a smile, "Deputy head, I wonder whether you're free some other day. How about we go to Heavenly Square City for Flying Liquor?" "I'm sorry, I'm too busy.
As Head Huang has just assigned me a task, I dare not relax my vigilance at all. Speaking of this, as the deputy head of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, I have to criticize General Priest Zhou. You know, millions of people in Heavenly Square City are in our hands. We couldn't delay the important event because of a drink. General Priest Zhou, you should consider which is more important between a drink and millions of people's lives. As an immortal general of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, of course, we should worry about the interests of the people in Heavenly Square City first before enjoying ourselves. We should always consider the interests of the people in Heavenly Square City and treat ourselves with high standards and strict requirements … "Zhang Tie raised his head and let out a deep sigh as he pointed out Zhou Baifei's shortcomings in work selflessly.
Zhou Baifei's smile froze at a stroke. Although Zhang Tie's words were a bit weird as they had not heard many words for the first time, they could only understand the meaning of Zhang Tie's words. However, under the gaze of so many people, Zhou Baifei didn't know how to refute Zhang Tie. Therefore, Zhou Baifei felt embarrassed at once. After twitching his face twice, he forced a smile, saying, "Thanks for your advice, deputy head …"
"That's great. Young man, you should guard against arrogance and rashness. You should know that modesty helps you make progress; conceit makes you fall behind; especially in work. You shouldn't only think about building relationships with others. General Priest Zhou, keep that in mind …" Zhang Tie nodded and continued.
Zhou Baifei's face turned completely black as he couldn't utter a word …
"What? Have you kept my advice in mind, General Priest Zhou?"
Gritting his teeth, Zhou Baifei forced another smile, saying, "I've kept it in mind …"
At the sight of Zhang Tie's solemn look, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan all revealed weird looks as they felt that it was pretty hard for them to hold it in. All of them wondered why Zhang Tie disliked Zhou Baifei so much …
