Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Remembering the remarks Ji Hong made at the tavern last month, Xia Hong’s eyes flashed with a peculiar color upon seeing Xue Zijing’s gesture, after which he cupped his right hand into a fist, covering it with his left palm and bringing them together in front of his chest, returning the courtesy with a smile, saying, “Daqin Prince Hong Yu, pays his respects to Grand Master Xue!”

Generally speaking, as long as an Ice Abyss Camp reaches the Town Level, some customary behavior norms would emerge, with gesture etiquette being the most common and representative form.

The largest feature of the Ice Abyss Camp is that in most regions, the environment sets limitations, which makes communication among people from different zones difficult. Consequently, the behavior norms of people from different regions naturally differ as well.

In the Xia Li compiled during the first year, Xia Hong had already regulated Great Xia’s greeting gesture, which was the most common fist-palm salute in the martial arts world from his previous life—precisely the gesture he performed at that moment.

Great Xia’s fist-palm salute involves opening the left palm to cover the right fist, then placing it at different positions based on the recipient: at the chest for equals, at the brow for superiors, and over the head, used only for elders and Lord Xia Hong, for utmost humility.

Upon closer examination, although the gesture in the other eight towns of Southern Slope is also called the fist-palm salute, it truly just involves clasping the fists, with no specific placement consideration, thus differing from Great Xia, yet matching what is seen here with the Four Vassals.

This serves as substantial evidence that various towns in the Southern Slope Territory have long been influenced by Moao River’s feudal town!

Currently, the greeting gesture Xue Zijing is using is not in the style of Moao River.

Having never met before, Xia Hong sees no reason for the other party to deceive him, so what Ji Hong said carries a certain degree of credibility.
