Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem
In the blink of an eye, 6 days had almost passed. After the 7th day, the mourning hall would be demolished. After that, the funeral ceremony would gradually come to an end except for 6 rituals in 42 days, 7 days for each time.
In order to fulfill the last wish of the old man, Zhang Tie named Alexander and the other hybrids Hua names respectively these days. Actually, Zhang Tie had long planned to do that. Previously, Zhang Tie wanted to name them again after a few years. Now that it was the old man’s will, it was nothing serious for him to do it a bit earlier.
After negotiating with his dad, Zhang Tie had fixed their Hua names.
Like Zhang Chengan and Zhang Chengba, the middle name of his hybrids would also be Cheng. Additionally, as they came from Ice and Snow Wilderness, it was easier for him to name them.
Alexander meant guardian; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengwei(卫).
Andre meant brave; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengyong(勇).
Matvey meant God’s gift; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengli(礼).
Anatoli meant guardian too; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengbao(保).
Victor meant victory; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengsheng(胜).
Igor meant the beloved son of the God of Wealth; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengfu(富).
Orego meant the sacred; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengdao(道).
Nigolas meant great trumph; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chengwei(伟).
Lev meant lion; therefore, his Hua name was Zhang Chenghou. Previously, Zhang Tie suggested Lev Zhang Chengshi; however, Zhang Tie’s dad vetoed it as he said it was not good for a name to carry a fierce beast. As lions could roar loudly, Zhang Tie wanted to name him Zhang Chenghou(吼); however, it didn’t sound good; therefore, he replaced “吼” with “侯”.
Honestly, Zhang Tie didn’t master too much Hua culture, nor did he read too many ancient Hua books; therefore, he didn’t excel at naming his sons. However, all the hybrids felt pretty happy about their Hua names.
On the 7th day, although there were still guests, all the major clans across the country had already assigned their representatives here. After staying in Golden Light City for a day, all of them had left. Even Yan Feiqing and Guo Hongyi who had left Golden Light City for Three Spring Prefecture on the next day. Those who came here to offer their condolences were almost local people in Yanghe Prefecture, Youzhou Province. Zhang Tie didn’t need to greet them himself as they could be received by his uncles in the old mansion.
Previously, Zhang Tie thought that he didn’t need to see anyone anymore; however, a butler brought him a piece of news which caused him to run out of the rear courtyard to greet the guests.
It was Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi. They were all Zhang Tie’s senior sister apprentices and bosom friends in Hidden Dragon Palace. It had been 16 years since he set apart from them in Heavens Cold City, Waii Subcontinent, excluding the 6 decades when he stayed in the tower of time.
Therefore, when a butler told Zhang Tie about the arrival of Ma Aiyun, Gu Caidie and Yuan Ziyi, Zhang Tie became stunned for a second. Closely after that, he went to greet them himself.
Zhang Tie saw the three senior sister apprentices in the parlor beside the mourning hall.
Zhang Tie’s look almost remained unchanged during the past 16 years. However, the three girls had already turned into charming beauties.
No sooner did Zhang Tie open the curtain and enter the parlor than the three pairs of beautiful eyes fixated onto his face.
There were pure friendship and ambiguous love between them; especially Zhang Tie and Ma Aiyun, who had one night stand in Heavens Cold City. Therefore, Zhang Tie couldn’t subdue his excitement at the sight of the three people.
Zhang Tie and the three women looked at each other for a minute. Even though Zhang Tie had a lot of words to say, he didn’t know how to express.
“16 years no see. Three senior sister apprentices are still so beautiful and brilliant…” Zhang Tie broke the silence.
“We dare not be the senior sister apprentices of the grand elder of Huaiyuan Palace!” Gu Caidie revealed a faint smilec as she said with bright eyes and white teeth in an extremely alluring manner, “If other elders heard it, we three would be punished severely. Just call our names. Very few people in Taixia Country dare say that they’re your senior sister apprentices now!”
“Alright. I will call your names. Caidie, Ziyi and Aiyun sound better!” Zhang Tie said with a generous smile.
“Are you afraid of your wives’ jealousy? Although we’ve not seen you these years, we’ve heard a lot of dissolute affairs about you!” Yuan Ziyi said as she threw a casual glance at Ma Aiyun.
“I’m not afraid of that. I could subdue them…” Zhang Tie said as he patted his chest like how he always did when he joked with his senior sister apprentices in Hiding Dragon Island. After hearing his words, the three women couldn’t help but giggle. The estrangement caused by 16 years’ departure appeared to be solved in a split second.
Later on, Zhang Tie told them to take a seat and have people serve tea for them. After that, he started to chat with them and learned about their recent situations.
Since the three women returned to Taixia Country from Waii Subcontinent, they had been staying in Huaiyuan City, Yingzhou Province, another basement of Huaiyuan Palace in Taixia Country. However, as this basement was not near Youzhou Province, the three people didn’t have a chance to visit Youzhou Province these years.
Huaiyuan Palace also built a place similar to Hidden Dragon Island in an island nearby Huaiyuan City so as to train clan elites who were transferred to Taixia Country from Waii Subcontinent. As the three people were talented in cultivation and had perseverance, they promoted to LV 9 at the same time 3 years ago. Since then, they could recover their freedom to a certain extent and leave the clan base in Huaiyuan City.
This time, the three people received the tasks of Long Wind Business Group at the same time and came to Youzhou Province. By the way, they offered a condolence to the late old man in Golden Light City and met Zhang Tie…
