Count Long Wind? " When Zhang Tie successfully aroused an uproar outside the White Tiger Complex, a middle-aged official walked over here politely as he crossed his hands and bowed towards Zhang Taixuan before asking politely.
"Yes, I'm Zhang Taixuan!" Count Long Wind replied as he nodded.
"Please wait for a second, everything has been prepared inside. When the time comes, we can enter!" The middle-aged official said politely as he threw a stealthy glance at Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie's look not only shocked those people outside the White Tiger Complex, but also those inside the White Tiger Complex were startled for a second.
"It's okay!" Count Long Wind looked calm, which made Zhang Tie applaud him inside.
The official duel would start at 8 am. At 7: 15 am, they would enter the White Tiger Complex and be familiar with the rules. After that, they would have about half an hour to prepare. It was Commander Cheng who was in the White Tiger Complex. Nobody dared be late today. In order to show their prudence, Huaiyuan Palace and Count Long Wind had arrived at the White Tiger Complex about 5 minutes earlier than 7: 10 pm. So did the other clans. Almost the moment the representatives of Huaiyuan Palace landed, the knights of other clans had arrived one after another.
"Wow, so handsome, so handsome, the knight of Huaiyuan Palace is so handsome..." The onlookers uttered louder exclamations and shrieks. Compared to before, this time, the exclamations and shrieks were mostly from girls or aunts.
Any man in a set of brilliant boa silk costume would be extremely handsome in the eyes of all the women. Additionally, Zhang Tie was not ugly. Additionally, he had taken good care of himself in Huaiyuan Mansion today. The moment he showed his handsome look, he had aroused the frenzy of hundreds of thousands of women among the onlookers.
After landing, the two teams of knights were also amazed by Zhang Tie's young age. They all fixated onto Zhang Tie and stealthily glanced at him.
In the blink of an eye, another two teams of knights arrived.
Given the number of knights in the two teams, Zhang Tie had known that the real opponents of Huaiyuan Palace had arrived.
There were 10 knights in each team, which was the largest among all the teams at present. The head of the team of knights was a middle-aged man with a white, clean and elegant look. Given his look, he could even match Zhang Taixuan the Count of Long Wind.
At the sight of this team of knights, Zhang Tie had guessed their identities — — Lu Clan, Spiritualmaple Prefecture, Youzhou Province. That middle-aged man should be Lu Dingzhi.
Lu Dingzhi not only had a good look, even his qi was not weaker than that of Count Long Wind. 'Another prospective earth knight.' Zhang Tie's heart slightly pounded. Youzhou Province was just a lower province of Taixia Country; however, these figures from such a lower province could also be influential in Waii Sub-continent. In Waii Sub-continent, besides the demon general, Zhang Tie had not seen anyone else who had almost promoted to an earth knight. However, in Youzhou Province, Zhang Tie saw two of them at the same time. The competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province was really a gathering of heroes.
The other team of knights consisted of 8 people. The one in front of the team was a father and a son. The father had a curly beard and looked pretty heroic; the son was only 27 or 28 years old. He was almost the youngest one among all the knights at present besides Zhang Tie. Needless to say, this team of knights must belong to Gu Clan in East River Prefecture. The one with a curly beard was Gu Dashou while the younger one was Gu Qingshan.
After arriving there, the knights of Gu Clan became faintly stunned at the sight of the crazy onlookers and Zhang Tie who was standing in the team of knights of Huaiyuan Palace.
At this moment, some bold women in the onlookers had started to exclaim.
Zhang Tie noticed that Gu Qingshan threw a glance at him for a couple of seconds after hearing those exclamations.
For a person who was used to being the center of attention the moment he appeared, he might feel a little disappointed when he found out that the focus of attention had changed one day.
After noticing the change of Gu Qingshan's eye light, Zhang Tie had a wicked thought, 'According to Elder Muyuan, Gu Qingshan is going to be my first stepping stone in Youzhou Province. Hopefully, Gu Qingshan will not turn today's disappointment into a shadow.'
...
"Brother Taixuan!" After landing, Lu Dingzhi greeted Zhang Taixuan the Count of Long Wind on his own initiative.
"So it's Brother Dingzhi!"
"I've long heard about Brother Taixuan's name. Now that I've met you, you're even more famous. The Early Sunshine after Light Snow in White Deer Building on Long Dragon Mountain outside Youzhou City is a unique restaurant in Youzhou Province. After leaving White Tiger Complex, how about having a drink in White Deer Building?"
"That's great. It's said that the Early Sunshine after Small Snow is brewed with the first drop of snow water from the plum blossom petals on Long Dragon Mountain. I've long wanted to see it. Now that I met Brother Dingzhi today, we will drink till we're drunk tonight. It's also a pleasure in life to enjoy the full moon tonight."
After exchanging a glance with each other, Lu Dingzhi and Zhang Taixuan burst out into laughter at the same time...
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem As the competition for the provincial governor of Youzhou Province was coming, the two most powerful competitors didn't talk about the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province; instead, they talked about having a drink in White Deer Building in the evening. Even Zhang Tie applauded them inside.
"How could we do without meat? Coincidentally, I brought some cyan-antler deers of Gu Clan to Youzhou City. I will roast some cyan-antler deers and send them to White Deer Building as the payment for the drinks. Let's have a drink in White Deer Building. Do you welcome us?" Gu Dashou burst out into laughter as he continued the topic.
"Brother Gu, that's what I want!" Lu Dingzhi replied with a smile.
"I've long heard about the famous cyan-antler deers of Gu Clan in Easternriver Prefecture. They're the best in Youzhou Province. After tasting them in Youzhou City, I will have no regret in this trip to Youzhou City!" Count Long Wind sighed.
The three men burst out into laughter. Previously, the heads of the other clans wanted to join them; however, they didn't open their mouths at this moment; instead, they just stood aside silently. As the three of them had formed a team, if the others joined them, they would be in a disadvantageous position. Therefore, they preferred to remain silent.
Someone remained silent; however, someone uttered a cold harrumph. After hearing the obvious cold harrumph, Zhang Tie turned around as he saw 3 knights landing on the ground.
The head of the three knights was a woman whose qi field was as powerful as that of a man.
The woman was about 30-40 years old. In a red robe, she had a hot figure and a pair of golden hooks on her back. At the sight of her look and figure, men would get hard. However, at the sight of her qi field and icy face, men would become soft. She was the one who uttered the cold harrumph.
'Even a woman dares compete for the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province? ' Zhang Tie was really dumbfounded. What made Zhang Tie more dumbfounded was that Lu Dingzhi only faintly coughed twice after hearing the provocative cold harrumph. Gu Dashou also smirked. Count Long Wind slightly nodded towards the three knights in a very gentlemanly manner.
Feeling Zhang Tie's gaze, the woman glanced at Zhang Tie with her sharp eyes. After realizing that Zhang Tie was too young, the woman slightly eased her gaze. After glancing at Zhang Tie for a couple of times with a dumbfounded look, she still left a cold harrumph to Zhang Tie. "What a pity!
"Humph..."
Watching that woman tilting her head, Zhang Tie scratched his head as a question occurred to his mind, 'Who's this woman?' 'Among these knights, she's really powerful. '
"This woman is Guo Hongyi, the head of Guo Clan in Threespring Prefecture. Guo Clan is not the most powerful among the major clans in Youzhou Province; however, this woman is very tricky. She's like a hornet's nest. Don't provoke her unless necessary!"
Elder Muen's words sounded in Zhang Tie's ears. Zhang Tie nodded inside as he replied, "Could a woman compete for the position of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province?"
"Of course, it's not strange for women to be officials or generals in Taixia Country. It's said that there are women among the top 9 chancellors in Taixia Country. Additionally, there are also female provincial governors in other upper provinces and major provinces. Therefore, don't underestimate women in Taixia Country!"
'Female provincial governors? There are women among the top 9 chancellors? ' Zhang Tie became speechless, 'Taixia Country really brings me surprises constantly.' When he recalled the scene of Gongsun Liniang in Golden Roc Bank, Zhang Tie seemed to understand that as long as a woman promoted to a knight in Taixia Country, she would not be easy to be offended. Zhang Tie really wondered how those women who advocated for women's rights in Waii Sub-continent would feel when they saw these female knights and provincial governors in Taixia Country.
However, Zhang Tie didn't know how old Gu Hongyi was. After promoting to a knight, a woman's bodily functions would be greatly improved; especially for many female knights, they would pay more attention to their looks and figures than improving their battle strength. Therefore, compared to men, it was more difficult to guess the real age of female knights. Although Gu Hongyi looked a few years older than Linda and her qi was like that of a woman at her 30s, her real age might be over 100 years old.
...
When everyone arrived, they only waited for a moment. After a few minutes, the teams from each family walked into the White Tiger Terrace under the leadership of an official.
In Waii Sub-continent, White Tiger Complex was definitely more magnificent than many international imperial palaces.
After passing through many gates, steps and squares, Zhang Tie saw a square like an altar of heaven in front of him.
In the middle of the plaza, there was a huge round ball that was almost a storey high. The pillar of light that shot up into the sky came from the top of the ball …
Heavens Ball! The moment Zhang Tie caught sight of the ball, he had known its identity.
The Heavenly Treasure Ball was huge. Its diameter was more than two meters. It was unknown what material the ball was made of. It looked like a crystal, but also like a metal. The inside of the ball was misty and chaotic, changing with various brilliance. The base under the ball was made of some kind of metal, which was full of primitive beauty. The base was densely covered with runes and lines that people couldn't understand.
In a hall not far away from the plaza, a dark-skinned man with a dignified aura was sitting on a high seat in the hall, watching the nine clans' teams that had just entered the hall.
What made Zhang Tie a bit amazed was that the two young knights whom he met at the riverside that day were also in this palace on the side of that man. At the sight of Zhang Tie, the two knights became stunned at the same time as shrewd light flashed in their eyes...
"Commander Cheng!" Everybody bowed towards that dark-faced man, including Zhang Taixuan and Lu Dingzhi.
"Don't be so polite!" Commander Cheng glanced over the teams of the 9 clans in the blink of an eye. Being glanced over by Commander Cheng, Zhang Tie felt a great stress. Since he promoted to a knight, Zhang Tie had not felt this way for a long time.
"You're here for the seal of the provincial governor of Youzhou Province. It's in my hand. Who could take it away depends on your own ability!" As Commander Cheng said this, he flipped his hand while a brilliant head-sized imperial seal abruptly appeared in his hand.
With a sound "bang", Commander Cheng put the seal on the table, which shocked everyone else at present, "Cut the crap. Announce the rules and prepare for the start!"
Soon after Commander Cheng's words, the atmosphere across White Tiger Complex had become intense abruptly …
