The moment Zhang Tie saw Zhang Taixuan, he caught a trace of Lan Yunxi in the man's face.
To be fair, if Zhang Tie had to pick the man with the most devastating appeal to women, the one with the strongest mature charm, Zhang Taixuan would rank first.
By appearance, the man seemed to be somewhere between his forties and fifties. His face was as fair as jade, his hair meticulously combed, and his eyes shone like stars. He naturally carried the bearing of both the head of an aristocratic family and a refined gentleman.
Zhang Taixuan did not look particularly brawny, yet in this room, surrounded by the elders of Huaiyuan Hall, his presence was overwhelmingly powerful. Zhang Tie examined him carefully and felt a slight shock in his heart. From this man, he sensed a knight's aura equal to that of the Demon Marshal's—perhaps even a fraction stronger.
Zhang Taixuan was on the verge of advancing to an Earth Knight—this was Zhang Tie's first impression. No wonder he dared harbor ambitions of contending for the post of You Province Governor.
While Zhang Tie was sizing up Zhang Taixuan, Zhang Taixuan was likewise studying Zhang Tie.
Among the younger members of Huaiyuan Hall's various families, Zhang Tie's looks could not be considered exceptional. He was neither as elegant as a jade tree swaying in the wind nor as handsome as Pan An. He was merely tall and straight, with a calm, unhurried demeanor. Yet the age his appearance revealed made him especially conspicuous, setting him apart from all the elders of Huaiyuan Hall.
Even Zhang Tie did not know why. Ever since leaving Black Flame City, his appearance had remained that of a sixteen- or seventeen-year-old. It made him look a full decade younger than his actual age.
