At the same moment, Tie Xiaosheng spurred his horse deep into the East City Pier of Xiushui City.
The situation here was far better than he had anticipated; everything was orderly and well-organized. The grand flags of the Iron Banner Gang stood firmly in every direction, proudly fluttering in the breeze.
All the gang members were armed with swords and intensely vigilant.
Upon seeing Tie Xiaosheng, they all showed signs of joy and greeted him with respect.
"Deputy Flag Master!"
"Thank goodness, the Deputy Flag Master is safe and sound."
"Fourth Master, you're finally back!"
"Fourth Master, the Flag Leader is also back; he's at the Headquarters."
Tie Xiaosheng was ranked fourth in the family, thus he was addressed as Fourth Master.
His spirits lifted at the mention of the 'Flag Leader,' and he immediately accelerated his horse, arriving in front of a gigantic ship. Then, he leaped from the horse and soared onto the ship's front deck.
