Zhu Dabiao rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not hallucinating. The face of the person sitting on the golden chair was still so familiar. His head was buzzing. For a moment, he was tongue-tied and his mouth was dry. He did not know what to say …
Few of Zhang Tie's disciples noticed Zhu Dabiao's look at this moment. After entering the room, they found that their master "Cui LI" was not here; additionally, it was a strange youth sitting on the seat of "master" that they had never seen before. Additionally, Bai Suxian was standing quietly on the side of that youth. Therefore, the fervent atmosphere turned cold at once. Everybody was gazing at Zhang Tie's seat while some of them looked furious.
Standing in front of his disciples, even though Liu Xing didn't look back, he knew how many eyes were on his back — — Everyone was waiting for his first senior fellow apprentice to open his mouth.
"Uncle Master Bai, our master called us here. Where's our master?" Liu Xing asked Bai Suxian after throwing a glance at Zhang Tie with a calm look. However, before Bai Suxian opened her mouth, Liu Xing had slowed down his tone as he told Zhang Tie, "Little brother, you're sitting on the seat of our master. Nobody could sit on that seat. If you're a guest invited by our master and Uncle Master Bai, you could sit here!" Liu Xing then pointed at the rows of seats on one side of the room.
Bai Suxian didn't answer Liu Xing; instead, she threw a glance at Zhang Tie.
What made Zhang Tie feel funny was Zhu Dabiao's look as if he had seen a ghost. Zhang Tie's two nephews, Zhang Chengxu and Zhang Chengze, were also very interesting. When the two nephews saw Zhang Tie last time, they were 7-8 years old. At that time, of course, they could remember Zhang Tie's look. Zhang Chengze's sudden appearance shocked them too much. Zhang Chengze wanted to shout; however, Zhang Chengxu pulled his hand and threw a glance at him. Therefore, Zhang Chengze hurriedly closed his mouth while the two nephews watched Zhang Tie with a dubious look...
"Don't shout. Let's wait and see. I was told that one could casually change into someone else's look. I don't know whether he's our second uncle or not!"
Zhang Chengze whispered to Zhang Chengxu in the lowest voice. However, no matter how low his voice was, it could never escape from Zhang Tie's ears.
"Liu Xing, can't you recognize me?" Zhang Tie watched Liu Xing as he asked in Cui LI's voice.
Closely after Zhang Tie's words, Liu Xing and those apprentices behind Liu Xing were in an uproar. Liu Xing widely opened his eyes and watched Zhang Tie. The moment Zhang Tie and Liu Xing exchanged eye contact, Liu Xing had quivered all over.
This voice was too familiar. Even the qi in the voice was as same as that of Zhang Tie. Not only the voice, but they also found that Zhang Tie's sitting posture and eye light were very familiar …
"Uncle Master Bai, what... what's going on?" Liu Xing asked Bai Suxian.
"He's your master!" Bai Suxian threw a glance at Liu Xing and the other apprentices as she didn't know how to explain it. Therefore, she poked Zhang Tie's back and told him secretly, "Make it clear to them!"
On such an occasion, in front of his 121 disciples, how was it possible for him to convince them with just words alone? Thankfully, Zhang Tie had long predicted that there would be such a scene. Therefore, he had long prepared a solution. If these people were irrelevant, it might take him some time to convince them that he was Cui LI; however, now that they were his apprentices, it would be much easier for him to prove his identity.
Sitting on the golden chair, Zhang Tie casually pointed at them. At the same time, a golden battle qi containing his spiritual energy flew out of his finger and slightly exploded in front of him, Liu Xing and the other apprentices. At the same time, the golden battle qi turned into 121 golden snowflake-like petals and entered their foreheads at the same time. At the same time, Liu Xing and the other apprentices felt dazzled as something entered their foreheads in a split second. A few months ago, when Fire Dragon Hermit pointed at their foreheads with gilded dragon's blood cinnabar, the "impartation mark" in their apprentices' mind sea which represented the relationship between master and apprentice in Taixia Country started to rock at once and gave out a brilliant golden light. As a result, everyone at present could see a golden light flashing in front of them.
Hua people attached great importance to the way of master and apprentice. In the inheritance ceremony of the way of master and apprentice in Taixia Country, the "impartation mark" with golden brush containing his spiritual energy was very important. When Zhao Yuan accepted Zhang Tie as his apprentice, everything was simple; however, in formal occasions, the impartation mark was very important because the master would leave a "impartation mark" in his apprentice's mind sea by mixing the precious gilded dragon's blood cinnabar with his spiritual energy and battle qi. This "impartation mark" was unique. As for these apprentices, it symbolized that their bodies originated from their parents and ancestors; their steps were created by their kindness.
The kindness of impartation was equal to a new life. This was the status of the relationship between master and apprentice after the impartation mark was confirmed.
Only the one who imparted the "impartation mark" could resonate with the impartation mark. This was more effective than DNA test. Because DNA might be cloned before the Catastrophe; however, only the impartation mark could resonate with the "impartation mark".
Being shocked, Liu Xing and the other apprentices confirmed Zhang Tie's identity at once. He was their master, Fire Dragon Hermit. Starting from Liu Xing, all the others hurriedly knelt down, including Zhu Dabiao. No matter whether he knew this person sitting in front of him or not, now that this person was his master, he had nothing to say. The identity of the grandson of the provincial governor of Taixia Country was useless in Iron-Dragon Sect.
"Master, please forgive me for my rudeness just now..."
It was also a big sin in sects in Taixia Country to refuse to worship their master and question the identity of their master. When they recalled that they questioned the identity of their master just now, they all became a bit intense. More people were curious about why their master suddenly changed his look.
"Get up. You're not to blame for what happened today!" When Zhang Tie said this, he recovered his original voice. Compared to Cui LI's slightly rough and mature voice, Zhang Tie's real voice was as same as that of a teenager at 16 or 17 years old. It was even more immature than that of most of his apprentices.
After confirming their master's true identity, no one felt that this voice was strange anymore.
Liu Xing and the other apprentices hurriedly stood up.
"Master, is your look the effect of disguise skill?" Liu Xing plucked up his courage as he asked the question that they all wanted to ask. Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "It's not disguise skill. This is my original look.
Zhang Tie replied with a smile, "It's not a disguise skill. This is my original look. The identity and name of Cui LI are both my incarnation. Many of you might have heard my real name before. I'm Zhang Mushen, an elder of Huaiyuan Palace in Youzhou Province. I'm the one who was wanted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country because of the tragedy in Fuhai City. At that time, I had to hide my identity and flee for my life. Now, the Supreme Court of Taixia Country has cancelled my wanted order …"
It was okay if Zhang Tie didn't expose his real identity; however, after hearing Zhang Tie's words, many of his apprentices' expressions had completely become the same as that of Zhu Dabiao.
'My master Cui LI is Zhang Tie? The No. 1 black iron knight in Taixia Country? The No. 1 black iron knight who wrote "With Beloved Ones"? The protagonist of "Legend of Black Iron Hero"? The Lion of Youzhou Province who once shone in Youzhou City? Was he a famous gentleman who was framed by others?
What was more, he was so young and handsome. At this moment, some of Zhang Tie's female apprentices cupped their chests as they were so thrilled that they almost passed out.
Even though Zhang Tie was just a black iron knight, his name was definitely much more resounding than Cui LI.
As an earth knight, many people didn't know Cui LI when he just arrived at Xuanyuan Hill; however, Zhang Tie's name had been well-known in the knight's world. Zhang Tie's past experiences were legendary. He was as brilliant as a superstar.
All the others were dumbfounded. Even though Liu Xing and his apprentices were always calm, after hearing Zhang Tie's words, they still felt dizzy as if they were stepping on cotton. They felt floating in the clouds.
'My master is Zhang Tie? My master is Zhang Tie? '
"Second uncle, Zhang Chengxu, Zhang Chengze..."
Before Liu Xing and his apprentices recovered their composure, Zhang Chengxu and Zhang Chengze had rushed out of the crowd as they knelt down in front of Zhang Tie and kowtowed towards Zhang Tie a few times loudly. The two brothers raised their heads as their foreheads turned red while dropping off tears...
When they were young, many people at home had told them that their second uncle was framed. Their father, Zhang Yang, even told them that without their second uncle, Zhang family would not have what they had today. Their second uncle was the pillar of Zhang family. The two brothers grew up listening to the stories and legends of Zhang Tie from their grandparents and the surrounding people. Therefore, they had long regarded Zhang Tie as their life idol and hero. The two brothers had not imagined that they could see Zhang Tie at this moment. Therefore, they were so thrilled that they didn't know what to say.
At the sight of Zhang Chengxu and Zhang Chengze, Zhang Tie's two apprentices from Huaiyuan Palace responded at once. They then moved a few steps forward and knelt down at the same time. After that, they kowtowed towards Zhang Tie three times loudly.
"Zhang Yueshan... Zhang Yawei pays respect to Elder Mushen..."
Zhang Tie was the hero of Zhang family and Huaiyuan Palace. None of the disciples of Huaiyuan Palace would deny it...
