Watching the four people of Zhang Clan and Huaiyuan Palace walking out of the crowd and bowing towards Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie's disciples became enlightened at once. They finally knew why Zhang Clan of Huaiyuan Palace could enjoy such a "preferential treatment" in the opening ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect — — Zhang Clan was the only clan that could obtain two golden invitation cards; additionally, 4 disciples of Huaiyuan Palace could be listed as the master of Iron-Dragon Sect. At that time, they all thought that Fire Dragon Hermit favored the branch of Jinwu City of Huaiyuan Palace. They didn't know that Fire Dragon Hermit favored the branch of Jinwu City of Huaiyuan Palace. Of course, Fire Dragon Hermit wanted to treat Zhang Tie's branch in Youzhou Province.
Zhang Tie's disciples were convinced about Zhang Tie's identity at once. Before the shock faded away, when they recalled the many legendary stories about Zhang Tie, they became very excited.
As Taixia Country had already revoked Zhang Tie's wanted order, the truth about the tragedy in Fuhai City gradually came to the surface. On this occasion, Zhang Tie's brilliance became more brilliant. It was a great fortune for Zhang Tie to have such a master.
It was just that his master's age was really too young. Just by looking at his appearance, even among the disciples, he was definitely the type of junior brother who was at the bottom. 'At such a young age, he could promote to an earth knight. Such a figure is definitely rare even among the top 7 sects of Taixia Country, not to mention other human countries. Zhang Tie's future would be limitless if he followed such a master. '
"Get up!" After letting his two nephews and the two disciples of Huaiyuan Palace stand up, the four of them stood up cautiously. Closely after that, Zhang Tie's tone turned solemn, "From now on, in Iron-Dragon Sect, we'll just treat each other as master and disciple. Two of you are my direct nephews, two of you are disciples of Huaiyuan Palace, who share the same origin and bloodline with me. However, I will treat you and the other disciples equally. Sometimes, I will even be stricter. In front of the other senior fellow apprentices, senior fellow apprentices, junior fellow apprentices, you should not seek for special treatment or be arrogant and destroy the friendship. If I find that, I will punish you severely; if it's serious, I will directly drive you out of the sect. Am I clear?"
Am I clear? "" Yes, master! "the four people replied in unison with a pounding heart.
As the master of Iron-Dragon Sect, Zhang Tie had long been immersed in this role. As the master of Iron-Dragon Sect, he was more dignified. Additionally, an earth knight naturally looked dignified. Each of his movement could shock people. Zhang Tie's words were not only a warning to Zhang Chengxu, Zhang Chengze and Liu Xing, but also a clear instruction to Liu Xing and Liu Xing — — from then on, they should not treat the four people specially. Don't flatter them or bully them secretly; neither should they flatter them in the public; nor should they envy them. None of Zhang Tie's disciples were idiots. The moment they heard Zhang Tie's words, they had understood it.
Of course, Zhu Dabiao understood it. Perhaps he knew Zhang Tie in the past and had a bit friendship with Zhang Tie; however, in Iron-Dragon Sect, they were only master and apprentice. If it was before, when Zhang Tie was still a black iron knight, Zhu Dabiao might feel a bit embarrassed to be his master; however, now that Zhang Tie was an earth knight, Zhu Dabiao was definitely qualified to be Zhang Tie's master. If not the family of the provincial governor of Yanzhou Province, Zhu Dabiao would not be qualified to be Zhang Tie's disciple even if he wanted to. It was not easy to be an earth knight's disciple. In the rules of Taixia Country, the more powerful ones were the masters; instead of age. If Zhu elders or his father knew that he dared neglect Zhang Tie just because he knew Zhang Tie before, before Zhang Tie punished him, Zhu elders and his father might rush to Iron-Dragon Sect and break his legs.
A beggar would be jealous of another beggar who was luckier than him one day; a LV 9 fighter would be jealous of a LV 10 fighter who was more powerful than him. Everyone was jealous. Generally, they would be jealous of those who were better at scheming than themselves; however, if a person was much better than another person, the other person would be too far behind to catch up with him. Similarly, a beggar would not be jealous of a king who was better than him; a LV 9 fighter might hope to promote to a knight one day; however, it was impossible for him to be jealous of an earth knight who was more powerful and dignified than him.
Watching the familiar, young and dignified face on the golden chair, Zhu Dabiao didn't feel disrespectful or jealous at all. He just felt that this was the most marvelous thing in the world. The one who saved him out of the shadow demon dungeon in Youzhou City became his master. Perhaps, this was the fate of the two of them.
Zhang Tie raised his hand while Zhang Chengxu, Zhang Chengze, Zhang Yueshan and Zhang Yawei, the four disciples of Huaiyuan Palace who had a special relationship with Zhang Tie bowed and returned to the team of Zhang Tie's disciples. After that, Zhang Chengxu and Zhang Chengze silently took a handkerchief from their two senior sister apprentices and wiped off their tears. At this moment, they both guessed that their father Zhang Yang must have long known that Fire Dragon Hermit was their second uncle. Therefore, he took them to the grand ceremony of Iron-Dragon Sect.
Zhang Tie glanced over his disciples and moved his eyes onto Zhu Dabiao at once. Zhu Dabiao also raised his eyes and exchanged a glance with Zhang Tie. Zhang Tie revealed a faint smile while Zhu Dabiao hurriedly lowered his head as he dared not be rude.
"Dabiao!" Zhang Tie called him in a low voice.
Zhu Dabiao quivered all over as he hurriedly walked out of the crowd and bowed towards Zhang Tie like a disciple. "I'm here!"
"As Taixia Country is facing great changes, if you don't have great battle skills, how could you protect yourself in the future? You're always vivacious. The path of cultivation is always based on your efforts. There's no shortcut at all. In the future, in Iron-Dragon Sect, you'd better calm down and spend more time on cultivation. If there's something you don't understand, you could consult your senior fellow apprentices and senior sister apprentices. Don't be left behind!" Zhang Tie said mildly.
Zhu Dabiao was overwhelmed by the favor. Although Zhang Tie was talking to him like a master, it indicated that Zhang Tie had not forgotten the friendship between them. However, this friendship had already become the sincere protection of a master for his disciple. Zhang Tie had told Zhu Dabiao this before.
At that time, Zhu Dabiao burst out into laughter. In the daytime, Zhang Tie told Zhu Dabiao that he would invite Zhang Tie to go to Peony Pavilion to drink wine with beautiful women in the evening. Therefore, Zhu Dabiao treated Zhang Tie's words as the persuasion between friends. However, after a few years, when he heard Zhang Tie's words on such an occasion, Zhu Dabiao was deeply moved as his eyes turned a bit red. 'What a good master and helpful friend should be! If not those who really care about you, who would tell you about this for so many times?' Zhu Dabiao was not stupid. Of course, he could distinguish the good from the bad, "This disciple will bear in mind master's teachings. I will definitely cultivate diligently and not lose face for master!"
"It doesn't matter if I lose face. Neither will I lose a hair!" Zhang Tie sighed with emotions, "I've been wanted by the Supreme Court of Taixia Country as an unpardonable criminal for so many years on the back of the biggest black pot in the world. I'm condemned by the public and hated by everyone. How could I care about ordinary slander? As long as you don't lose your life in the face of danger in the future, it would be fine. Sometimes, one should give hope to his family and friends. It's more important than anything else!"
"Yes, this disciple will bear it in mind!"
When Zhu Dabiao left there, he could feel a special "powerful" eye light coming from his back. Without turning around, he knew where the eye light came from. It was from his cousin, one of the descendants of Zhu Clan who had been recruited by Zhang Tie. Although they were cousins, they didn't get along with each other since they were young.
If Zhu Dabiao was the kind of person who just ate and waited for death in Zhu Clan, his cousin was the kind of person who aspired to be the pillar of Zhu Clan in the future. Among the 121 disciples of Zhang Tie, that cousin always disliked Zhu Dabiao. He felt that Zhu Dabiao had completely wasted a precious quota of an earth knight by becoming the disciple of Fire Dragon Hermit.
Even among fellow apprentices in the same sect, there was competition. Undoubtedly, those who were singled out by Zhang Tie on this occasion would be remembered by Zhang Tie. Even though Zhu Dabiao was completely mediocre among Zhang Tie's disciples and even dragged Zhang Tie down, given Zhang Tie's special concern about him, Zhu Dabiao became special among the 121 disciples at a stroke.
To Zhu Dabiao, the astonishment and jealousy in his cousin's eyes was as refreshing as drinking a big bowl of iced sour plum soup in the hottest days of summer.
"Liu Xing!"
"I'm here!"
After Zhang Tie called his name, Liu Xing, the first disciple of Zhang Tie, immediately bowed and walked out.
"In the following days, you should supervise your junior fellow apprentices and sister apprentices to cultivate diligently. When I'm not on the airboat, everything will be decided by your master uncle Bai!"
"Yes, master!"
"Well, take them away!"
Zhang Tie waved his hand as all the other disciples exited the room one after another. After staying in the room for a few minutes, they were all shocked inside, which couldn't be recovered for the time being.
After all the disciples left, Bai Suxian who was standing on Zhang Tie's side pouted as she told Zhang Tie in a jealous tone, "Did you see the way those female disciples looked at you?"
Right when Bai Suxian uttered a tender exclamation, Zhang Tie had pulled her over and had her lie on his thighs. After half a minute of deep kiss, Bai Suxian had turned soft all over as her face blushed while her eyes were watery.
"Don't overthink it. Go to Zhongzhou City first. If I don't come back soon, wait for me in Zhongzhou City for a couple of days!"
"What are you going to do there?" Bai Suxian put her arms around Zhang Tie's neck as she slightly bit Zhang Tie's ear and exhaled a bit hot breath.
"I'm going to finish something!"
Zhang Tie glanced at the wall clock in the room, which showed that it was almost 5 pm. Five pm was the starting time of the evening meal... (To be continued)
