Zhang Taixuan saw Lan Yunxi's shadow on this man's face.
To be honest, if Zhang Tie had to choose a man who was the most attractive to women, Zhang Taixuan should rank first.
Given his look, this man was at his 40s or 50s. With a jade-like face and well-combed hair, his eyes were as brilliant as stars. He looked like the head of a major clan and a modest gentleman.
Although Zhang Taixuan didn't look strong, being surrounded by so many elders of Huaiyuan Palace, this man's qi field was extremely powerful. After sensing it carefully, Zhang Tie was slightly shocked as he sensed the knight's qi field from this man which was even a bit more powerful than that of the demon general.
'Zhang Taixuan is going to promote to an earth knight. No wonder he dares to compete for the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province. '
Zhang Tie glanced at Zhang Taixuan. Zhang Taixuan was also glancing at Zhang Tie.
Among the clan members of Huaiyuan Palace, Zhang Tie's look was not outstanding. He was not as handsome as Pan An. He was just tall and straight and looked calm. However, Zhang Tie's age made him very eye-catching. He was unique among all the elders of Huaiyuan Palace.
Even Zhang Tie didn't know why he always looked 16 or 17 years old since he left Blackhot City. His look was 10 years younger than his actual age.
"Greetings, Patriarch!" Zhang Tie crossed his hands and bowed towards Zhang Taixuan.
It was Zhang Tie's first time to meet Zhang Taixuan. Facing this man who might be his father-in-law in the future, Zhang Tie wanted to leave a good impression on Zhang Taixuan. If this man felt that Zhang Tie was too arrogant and frivolous, this man would be a mountain in front of Zhang Tie and Lan Yunxi in the future.
At the sight of Zhang Tie's performance, Zhang Taixuan revealed a faint smile as he opened his mouth warmly, "Elder Mushen, please take a seat!"
Zhang Tie then took a seat on the right side of Elder Muyuan.
"Elder Muen, Elder Mushen has just arrived here. He might not be clear about something. Please introduce what we've talked about just now to Elder Mushen! "
"Yes!" Elder Muen replied. After that, he briefly introduced what happened in Youzhou City to Zhang Tie these two days.
These days, as the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou City was approaching, All the information became clear.
The competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province was indeed in a battlefield created by the Heavens Ball.
There were 9 local clans in Youzhou Province, including Huaiyuan Palace. In other words, there were nine candidates. Among the 9 candidates, there were only 2 parties that could be called powerful opponents of Huaiyuan Palace. One of them was the Lu Clan of Spirit Maple Prefecture, while the other was the Gu Clan of East River Prefecture.
There were 10 knights in Lu Clan. Lu Clan was a noble clan in Youzhou Province. Lu Dingzhi, the head of Lu Clan, was a hereditary earl. Lu Dingzhi was well-known in Youzhou Province. A few years ago, he was an official of the Imperial Treasury of Taixia Country. Therefore, he had a deep background. He was the most popular candidate for the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province.
Gu Clan of East River Prefecture was also a local tyrant. Although it was not a hereditary noble clan, everybody in Youzhou Province knew about Gu Clan. There were 8 knights in Gu Clan, among which, the head of Gu Clan and the young master of Gu Clan were the most eye-catching, namely Gu Dashou, the head of Gu Clan and Gu Qingyun, the young master of Gu Clan. Both of them were knights in Youzhou Province, which was a popular story. Gu Dashou had a son at an old age. Among the knights, Gu Dashou was not very powerful. However, Gu Qingyun, Gu Dashou's son, was far more famous than his father.
Because in Youzhou Province, Gu Qingyun was worthy of the title of cultivation genius. Gu Qingyun had promoted to a battle spirit at 16. Closely after that, he was enrolled as a disciple by an elder of Heavens Holding Pavilion, one of the top 7 sects in Taixia Country. After entering Heavens Holding Pavilion for 6 years, he had promoted to a black iron knight at 22 years old and became famous in Youzhou Province. It was said that Gu Qingyun was appreciated by the big shots in Heavens Holding Pavilion and had a bright future.
Lu Clan and Gu Clan were better than Huaiyuan Palace which had just rooted in Youzhou Province in all aspects.
Besides the two clans, the other 6 clans were Yan Clan of Chaoyang Prefecture, Liu Clan of Changshan Prefecture, Ximen Clan of Xingbei Prefecture, Sun Clan of Guide Prefecture, Guo Clan of Threespring Prefecture and Li Clan of Miyun Prefecture.
These clans were all local major clans. Each of their clans had at least 3 knights. As these clans participated in the competition for the provincial governor of Taixia Country, they were all ambitious and well-prepared.
Given the current situation, Huaiyuan Palace could only rank the 3rd in the competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province. Huaiyuan Palace didn't have a good future in this competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province. Few people among those who came to Youzhou Province to watch the fun would think that Huaiyuan Palace could win the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province. According to the betting odds of Huaiyuan Palace in the casino in Youzhou City, Huaiyuan Palace's odds were less than 30% in the eyes of most of the people. Those who were gazing at the outside of Huaiyuan Mansion included those dispatched by clans in Youzhou Province who treated Huaiyuan Palace as their competitor and those from the casinos in Youzhou City; especially the latter, they were very concerned about Huaiyuan Palace's movements.
After hearing Elder Muen's brief introduction, Zhang Tie's face turned solemn. At this moment, Youzhou City was really full of powerhouses from all walks of life. They were all eyeing the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province.
After saying that, Elder Muen paused for a second before continuing, "This is the current situation facing Youzhou City. After that, the clan head was talking about the Heavens Ball with the other elders. Then, you arrived!"
Zhang Tie nodded. After hearing the words "Heavens Ball", he became spirited once again.
After Elder Muen finished his words, Zhang Taixuan slightly coughed twice. When all the others focused on him once again, he opened his mouth, "The Heavens Ball is a rarity. However, it was excavated in the underground world. Therefore, this Heavens Ball is not exclusive to Heavens Fortune Sect. Over these years, I've seen this item in Taihang Fortress in the Earth-elements Realm and experienced it in the Heavens Ball. Therefore, I've almost guessed what's going on in the competition for the position of provincial governor of the Earth-elements Realm. I want to tell you about it so that you can make a reference..."
...
After over 20 minutes, the conference came to an end. After bidding farewell to Zhang Taixuan politely, the elders walked out of the room one after another in a gloomy mood.
At this moment, Zhang Tie's mind was filled with the Heavens Ball that Zhang Taixuan told him just now. After hearing Zhang Taixuan's introduction, Zhang Tie didn't think about the competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province; instead, he thought about the mysterious Earth-elements Realm.
Zhang Tie didn't notice that Count Long Wind was stroking a bizarre colorful finger ring on his finger after they left. Meanwhile, he watched Zhang Tie's back with a contemplative look.
...
"Elder Mushen!" When Zhang Tie walked out of the attic, Elder Muyuan stopped him.
"Elder Muyuan!" Zhang Tie stopped his footsteps as he slightly bowed towards Elder Muyuan.
"Has your mother recovered a bit these days?" Elder Muyuan asked with a caring tone.
"Thanks for your concern, Elder Muyuan. I took my mother out for a walk. She's in a good mood. She has almost recovered!"
"Oh, that's great!" Elder Muyuan let out a sigh evidently, "The competition for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province is very important. Elder Mushen, you have to deal with it carefully!"
"I see, I will try my best for Huaiyuan Palace!"
Elder Muyuan nodded as he stroked his beard. Closely after that, he asked Zhang Tie, "Elder Mushen, how do you feel when you heard about Gu Qingyun of Gu Clan?"
Zhang Tie was confused about Elder Muyuan's meaning. After being silent for a few seconds, he opened his mouth, "Gu Qingyun of Gu Clan is indeed a great talent. Besides, he's backed by Gu Clan and the top 7 sects of Taixia Country. He deserves his fame."
"Everybody in Youzhou Province knows that Gu Qingyun is a well-known talent in Youzhou Province. Don't you want to replace him, Elder Mushen?"
'Replace him? ' Zhang Tie was really shocked by Elder Muyuan's words. To be honest, Zhang Tie really didn't have such a domineering thought.
Watching Zhang Tie's dumbfounded look, Elder Muyuan revealed a smile which was full of wisdom and shrewdness, "In the Heavens Ball, we have to strive for the position of provincial governor of Youzhou Province for Huaiyuan Palace. Elder Mushen, why don't you strive for yourself? Gu Qingyun became a battle spirit at 16 years old and became famous all the way across Youzhou Province. Closely after that, he gradually became more and more famous. Haven't you realized that, Elder Mushen? As the saying goes, reduce the insufficient and serve the surplus. What is the surplus? Don't all the booze, women, avarice, fame, fortune, wealth, power and helpers in this world revolve around the two words of reputation? After promoting to a knight, the road of cultivation would be narrower and steeper. It would be more and more difficult for you to climb up. Elder Mushen, have you seen any unknown person who could promote to 2 or 3 chakras in Waii Sub-continent or Taixia Country? "
Zhang Tie became stunned as he felt that the more he thought about Elder Muyuan's words, the more meaningful they would be.
"Few unknown people could make achievements over the past 5,000 years! Is it possible? Is it possible? Is it God's doing or man's doing? "Elder Muyuan left with a sigh after saying this with a sigh.
After being stunned for a short while, Zhang Tie deeply bowed towards Elder Muyuan's back once again...
