After getting back to the immortal palace, they didn’t leave; instead, they were called to gather in an assembly hall by Huang Baimei.

In the assembly hall, Huang Baimei was sitting on the main seat while Zhang Tie was sitting close to Huang Baimei on his left, facing Leng Manxue. Next to Zhang Tie was Zhou Baifei who looked solemn. Jiang Ruoxin was sitting beside Leng Manxue. The others took a seat according to their titles. It felt like a group of important personnel of a sect sitting together to discuss something.

Although Zhang Tie looked solemn, he was actually absent-minded. Because he was very clear about what had happened last night. Watching the others in the opposite and recalling that scene when he made a spiritual journey that night, Zhang Tie unconsciously fixated onto Jiang Ruoxin’s breast…

‘It really looks a bit small. 35 C is much smaller than that of Ji Yuelan’s. It couldn’t even match that of Leng Manxue. But it’s still plump. No matter what, she’s a female knight…’

After comparing inside, Zhang Tie had felt two hot eyes fall on his face. He raised his head as he saw Jiang Ruoxin glaring at him bashfully. Even Ji Yuelan a few seats away was watching him while pouting her petite mouth. Leng Manxue moved her eyes over here at a stroke as if she had sensed something too.

Being gazed by the three women at the same time, Zhang Tie immediately moved his eyes away as he felt being put on the spot. He then pretended to cough twice softly.

Thankfully, at that moment, a female deacon entered which caught the others’ attention at a stroke. After coming to the back of Leng Manxue, she lowered her body and gave a document to Leng Manxue before leaving out of there respectfully.

It was the very female deacon Fan who was with Zhou Baifei in his room that day. At this moment, deacon Fan and Zhou Baifei didn’t look at each other at all. However, when deacon Fan almost left the assembly hall, she made a glimpse at Zhou Baifei. Nobody else at present could discover the story between them except Zhang Tie.

“What’s up?” Huang Baimei asked in a muffled voice.

“I’ve had them count the losses in the city last night…” Leng Manxue answered calmly as she threw a glance at the piece of paper in hand.

“How’s the loss in Heavenly Square City?”

After hearing Huang Baimei’s question, even Zhang Tie pricked up his ears.

“Last night, 17 houses had collapsed, 133 people were injured, 68 of which were slightly injured, 43 were commonly injured, 6 were heavily injured, 16 people’s eyes were scorched by the strong lightning and they had lost their sight for the time being; however, they’ve already been able to see partially now. Fortunately, it was not too late when the strong earthquake occurred last night. Most of the people were awake. The 17 houses were close to the border of the city. They were wooden structure and have not been repaired for long; besides, a small part of the 17 houses was empty. As for those with people, some people escaped at once, leaving some slower ones being hurt by logs. Four of them were heavily injured; however, they’re already out of danger…”

“How did those guys lose their sight for the time being?”

“They were a crew of a business airboat in Heavenly Square City and some people drinking and enjoying the moon at a high building. When the strong lightning struck, the airboat was just arriving at Heavenly Square City in open land and the crew was preparing commodities on the deck. At that time, all these guys facing the coming direction of the strong light were dazzled as they couldn’t see anything clearly until this morning..”

“Thankfully, nobody died. Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace would cure those injured ones at our full efforts. We could allocate some medicinal pills from our warehouse to them. The 17 ruined houses would also be repaired by the immortal palace. All the other places that require restoration would be invested by the immortal palace…” Huang Baimei ordered. After being silent for a second, he fixated his eyes on the face of the most inferior immortal knight at present, saying, “Mr. Xun would take its charge…”

“Yes, sir!” The old “teacher” stood up as he took the order.

“Head, it was too eye-catching outside the city last night that everybody in the city became flurried. How do we explain if we’re asked about it by people in the city…” Zhou Baifei asked ahead of Zhang Tie.

“I’m gonna talk about it. I’ll have someone post information across the city and tell them that we’ve already figured it out that a comet hit the earth last night. Let them stay calm. With the protection of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, they have survived this disaster; instead of suffering a great loss across the city…” Huang Baimei said fluently.

After hearing his words, Zhang Tie instantly understood Huang Baimei——it’s meaningless for civilians in the city to know what created such a loud noise and the huge pit outside the city. As a branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace, as long as they could give a reasonable explanation to the urban civilians and tell them they were already out of danger, meanwhile having them appreciate the immortal palace, the truth was none of the civilians’ business. All the immortal generals at present would not expose the truth even if they knew something. In fact, even Huang Baimei himself might not be sure of the reason for that huge pit. This might be a pending case in Heavenly Square City.

“Heavenly Square City is in a bit turmoil these days. Deputy head, you’d better work a bit harder these days by taking two justices and Siji Jiang to learn more about the situation outside the city. You could deal with common affairs at your discretion. When in emergencies, contact the immortal palace at any time or make an early warning…”

In the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie had got a new job. Hearing Jiang Ruoxin being called Siji Jiang, Zhang Tie tried hard to not laugh out. The Siji, despite its pronunciation being similar to that of drivers in Taixia Country or old Siji, which meant an expert in love in Taixia Country, was utterly different in meaning. Loosely translated, it was similar to intelligence butler or a senior scout or personal assistant of head or deputy head. To put it simply, she was a jack of all trades.

“Yes, sir!” Zhang Tie took the order calmly as he threw a glance at Jiang Ruoxin. Liu brothers and Jiang Ruoxin took the order in unison.

“These days, Commander Lu would be in charge of the Immortal Force Camp. Anyone who dares bewilder the public or make evil deeds would be severely punished!”

“Yes, sir!” The bald tough man Lu Tianqiang took the order.

“General Priest Zhou and Inspector Ji could make a tour inspection across the city these days and contacted grassroots so as to make people reassured…”

The two people took the order in unison too.

“Alright, if there’s nothing else to deal with, you could go work!” After making an arrangement, Huang Baimei ended the first short meeting which all the immortal generals of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City attended. They then stood up and left the assembly hall.

When he walked out of the gate, Zhang Tie still felt a bit strange. ‘Why Head Huang didn’t dispatch a task to Leng Manxue who is most familiar with the situation facing Heavenly Square City? What would Leng Manxue do these days? Does she have another task that couldn’t be exposed to the others?’

Zhang Tie thought, ‘It seems that new immortal generals gotta do something for the immortal palace before fully acquiring the trust of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace.’

“Deputy head…” a voice sounded behind Zhang Tie. At the same time, Zhou Baifei paced up as he watched Zhang Tie with a big smile, “As it was too early to have a talk with you in the dining hall, after seeing deputy head, I finally understand that there’s always someone greater in the world!”

Zhou Baifei’s words sounded like a proper compliment. The others wouldn’t think that he was flattering Zhang Tie. Given Zhang Tie’s age and achievement, Zhou Baifei’s compliment was implicit.

“Hahahaha, thanks, thanks, General Priest Zhou, you’re really a ‘young and able man’…” Zhang Tie replied perfunctorily.

However, Zhou Baifei didn’t notice the irony in Zhang Tie’s words as he still maintained his smile, asking, “Deputy head, are you free? Let’s taste the flying pulp in Heavenly Square Building. You’re my guest!”

“I’m really sorry. I’m too busy these days. As you know, Head Huang has just given a task to me. I dare not be relaxed at all. Oh, General Priest Zhou, as the deputy head of the branch of Dragon Emperor Immortal Palace in Heavenly Square City, I gotta give you a suggestion. As millions of people’s lives depend on us, we can’t afford to make any mistake on this occasion. General Priest Zhou, you gotta measure what counts the most, the drinks or the lives of millions of people. As immortal generals of the immortal palace, of course, we should concern about the common lives ahead of our own demands. Take hardships before pleasure. Prioritize the interests of the commoners in Heavenly Square City in our heart. Make a high standard for ourselves and treat ourselves strictly…” Zhang Tie looked up as he made such points in a pretty righteous and merciful manner and pointed out Zhou Baifei’s weakness in work in the public.

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, Zhou Baifei’s smile froze at a stroke. Although Zhang Tie’s words sounded a bit weird, it was their first time to hear that. They could only understand it partly. Under the gaze of the public, Zhou Baifei couldn’t refute directly. As a result, after twitching his facial muscles for a couple of times, Zhou Baifei forced a smile, replying, “Thanks for your lesson, deputy head…”

“That’s great. As a young man, you should not be proud and impatient. You know, being modest, one could make progress; being proud, one would lag behind; especially in work, we shouldn’t be immersed in establishing relationships with each other. Keep it in your mind, General Priest Zhou…” Zhang Tie continued.

Zhou Baifei’s face turned completely dark…

“Am I clear, General Priest Zhou?”

Gritting his teeth, Zhou Baifei forced a smile again as he replied, “Clear…”

Watching Zhang Tie talking so seriously with Zhou Baifei, Liu brothers, Jiang Ruoxin and Ji Yuelan bore so hard not to out loudly. They all wondered why Zhang Tie disliked Zhou Baifei…
