Zhang Tie was familiar with this female knight. When he saw her at the entrance of the Earth-elements Realm for the first time, she was on the airboat. Zhang Tie was not sure about her name. He just faintly heard Zhang Anguo, the grand elder of Tianlu Palace calling her Shuzhen these days.
As it was a male-dominated age, the character snatching in the rotating chakra ceremony only targeted at male knights. As for a clan, even if there were female knights, they could also participate in the rotating chakra ceremony; however, they could not participate in the character snatching. Because according to the regulation of Taixia Country, if a female knight got married, she would have to follow her husband's surname. Therefore, character snatching was useless.
This female knight of Zhang Clan seemed to be a bit afraid of Zhang Tie. These days, this female knight always took a detour at the sight of Zhang Tie. She almost dared not look into Zhang Tie's eyes.
After all, Zhang Tie's words were too destructive for this female knight. Before seeing Zhang Tie, she almost didn't believe that there was such a person like Zhang Tie in this world.
The two people had not imagined that they could encounter each other at this moment. When they saw each other, they became stunned at the same time.
The female knight of Zhang Clan blushed as she oozed sweat all over and panted a bit. It seemed that she had been chasing after that beautiful big bird for a while and had consumed a lot of energy.
Zhang Tie looked calm and composed. After catching sight of that beautiful big bird for less than half a minute, that big bird had already entered the pearl of the secret item. Additionally, Zhang Tie witnessed the whole process.
The two people then gazed at each other.
"That... that colorful bird is mine!" The female knight plucked up her courage and opened her mouth, "I've been chasing after it for half a day!"
"Hehheh, young sister, have you forgotten the rule that we've made? We follow the principle of occupying it first!" Zhang Tie pretended to keep a straight face. He felt this female knight's face was very tender. Given that she might not be much older than him, he just wanted to tease her. Now that the colorful bird had been chasing after him for half a day, Zhang Tie didn't want to scramble for it with a woman. He was always softhearted to women. Actually, this woman reminded Zhang Tie of his senior sister apprentice, Lan Yunxi. Now that she could promote to a knight at such a young age, this woman was definitely a god's favored one in Tianlu Palace. "Only what is in your hand belongs to you; not what you see or what you've chased after. Am I clear?"
Zhang Tie was telling the truth. Unless that silver secret item was already in the hand of this woman or this woman had already selected the pearl of the secret item and was going to search for treasures by smashing it, this woman really couldn't say that it belonged to her.
If she had chased after it and seen it, if someone jumped out and said that he had also chased after and seen that colorful bird, who would it belong to? If Zhang Tie had a remote-sensing crystal finger ring, he could send a message through the remote-sensing crystal finger ring and perform a two-man show with Gong Ziyao and the other knights. How would this female knight respond to that?
The three earth knights had long considered these questions. Based on the insight and cunning of Mountain Lifting Hermit, Zhang Tie and the other knights, of course, they would not leave such a loophole for others to exploit. Therefore, after entering the hieron, they could compete for it. However, all the items in the hieron followed the principle of occupying it first. Seeing it was not occupying it; chasing after it was not occupying it; touching it was occupying it!
After hearing Zhang Tie's words, the female knight bit her lips. She wanted to refute him; however, she couldn't utter a word. Her delicate facial features looked aggrieved and helpless at once.
The great excitement of encountering the virtual image of the secret item and the great disappointment of getting nothing after chasing after it for half a day made the female knight's bright eyes watery at once.
Zhang Tie had not imagined that this female knight could be so tender. Only after a few words, she could drop off tears.
Since he promoted to a knight, Zhang Tie had met so many female knights, starting from Gongsun Liniang, Guo Hongyi and Bai Suxian. The first two female knights were both strong women while Bai Suxian was an enchantress. Zhang Tie felt that female knights would not shed tears at all. It was Zhang Tie's first time to meet a female knight who was made of water who could cry easily.
Actually, women's tears were more lethal to Zhang Tie than battle qi.
The moment Zhang Tie wanted to tell her that he was just joking and wanted to tell her about the pearl of the secret item that the colorful bird had drilled into, a shadow flashed between them. At the same time, a knight of Tianlu Palace appeared between them.
It was a man who was much older than Zhang Tie and Cui LI. With whiskers and long and narrow eyes, he looked arrogant and scheming.
"Ninth sister, I saw you chasing after a virtual image of the secret item from afar just now. Did you catch it?" the shadow asked the moment he landed on the ground.
The female knight didn't speak. After throwing a glance at the female knight, the knight of Tianlu Palace looked at Zhang Tie and the metal crystals behind the small ridge. After rolling his eyes for a short while, he seemed to have understood something.
The man watched Zhang Tie as his mouth corners twitched, "Younger brother Cui, do you want to go against Zhang Clan of Tianlu Palace only for a silver secret item? How about leaving for Zhang Clan of Tianlu Palace? Younger brother Cui, how about leaving for Zhang Clan of Tianlu Palace?"
After hearing this man's words, Zhang Tie swallowed back his words at once.
Apparently, this man was talking about Tianlu Palace. Apparently, he wanted to oppress Zhang Tie by robbing him. He wanted Zhang Tie to quit the scramble.
There was a piece of land of crystals behind Zhang Tie. "Ninth sister" stopped here with a helpless and sad look. Apparently, the virtual image of the secret item that Ninth sister was chasing after had already entered the pearl of the secret item in the land of crystals behind Cui LI. At the critical moment, this guy surnamed Cui LI caught up with it.
After throwing a glance at the female knight, Zhang Tie burst out into a mocking smile, "Fine, I will give a face to Zhang Clan of Tianlu Palace!"
After saying that, Zhang Tie turned around and left. Both the man and the woman became stunned as they didn't believe that Zhang Tie could be so straightforward.
The moment Zhang Tie left the ridge, the two people had hurriedly jumped over there.
At the sight of it, the man became dumbfounded. There was indeed a place of crystals behind the ridge; there were pearls of secret items in the place of crystals. However, what was out of their imagination was that there were 8 pearls of secret items in the place of crystals.
Apparently, only one of the 8 pearls of secret items contained something. All the others might be empty.
"Wait a moment..." That man turned around and wanted to stop Zhang Tie once again...
