Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1007 (One Thousand and Seven) Absurd
"No." Xiang Sibin replied.

"What question did you ask?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I just asked: 'Did the acting clan leader bring Bi Dian with him?' I just wanted to see how she reacted when she heard this." Xiang Si Bin said.

"How did she react?" Tie Wandao asked.

"She didn't have any special reaction, she just asked me why I wanted to bring Bi Dian with me." Xiang Si Bin said.

"How did you answer?"

"At that time, I thought that the question I asked before might embarrass the acting clan leader, so I said to her: 'It's convenient. You can ask Bi Dian to help with a lot of things. Other subordinates can also help. Didn't you bring them with you?' In this way, I also mentioned the other subordinates, so that the acting clan leader would not see that I was trying to probe the relationship between her and Wu Bi Dian." Xiang Si Bin said.

"What did she say?"

"She said, 'I didn't bring any. I don't need to bring anyone. There was nothing I needed anyone's help with just now.'" Xiang Sibin said.

"What did you say to her next?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

"I said to her: 'The acting clan leader is really good to his subordinates. Working in Aoqian Palace should be a good job.' At that time, I didn't want the acting clan leader to ask me about anything, so I said something to her and left quickly." Xiang Sibin said.

"Luckily you walked fast." Tie Wandao said, "Actually, if you ask her this in this situation, you are at risk of being asked questions in return."

"I understand. When I was talking to the acting clan leader, I didn't feel anything at first, but later I felt there was a risk. However, the question had already been asked, so I had to finish it quickly." Xiang Si Bin said.

"When you want to test someone in the future, you must pay attention to the way you test them. You must think carefully and act cautiously when testing them in person." Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." Xiang Sibin said. Tie Wandao asked: "You said just now that she didn't have any special reaction when she answered?"

Xiang Sibin replied: "Well, there is no special reaction, but despite this, I don't think she is alienated from Wu Bidian."

"Why?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Just yesterday, Wu Bidian spoke up for the Acting Clan Chief in public, and he and the Acting Clan Chief cooperated very well." Xiang Sibin said.

"Yesterday? In public?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes, clan leader. Yesterday when there were many people present, someone told everyone that the acting clan leader might be a demon. Wu Bidian spoke up for the acting clan leader very promptly, which shows that the relationship between the two is quite close." Xiang Sibin said.

Tie Wandao opened his eyes wide and asked, "Who is so absurd as to dare to say in public that the acting clan leader might be a demon?"

Xiang Si Bin said: "Yes... Elder Nie."

"Elder Nie actually did such a thing? He acted so recklessly? And he did it in public?" Tie Wandao simply didn't want to believe it and asked three questions in a row.

"Yes. I was not there at the time, but according to people who were there, Elder Nie seemed a little different from usual. They speculated that this had a lot to do with the death of Elder Nie's child the day before," said Xiang Sibin.

Tie Wandao thought: He is sometimes impulsive, but never like this! Has he gone crazy because of Nie Yangwei's death? How dare he treat her like this!
He felt that this matter was of great importance and was eager to learn more, so he asked Xiang Sibin: "You were not there at the time, so did the person who told you about this tell you the details?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes, they both told me together. I asked very detailed questions and they answered in great detail," Xiang Sibin said.
