Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1117 (One Thousand One Hundred and Seventeen) Anticipation

"You are not only a doctor, you are also a former alchemist. Answer me first, do you know that how long he can live at most has something to do with your past as an alchemist?" Tie Wandao said.

"Related. If I hadn't been a Taoist priest and knew some magic, I really wouldn't know how long he can live at most," said the doctor.

"So you, a former alchemist, can't change this situation?" Tie Wandao asked.

The doctor said, "Chief, there really isn't anything! If there was, I would have just said it. Now I can only... I can only hope that you don't feel too sad."

The doctor thought that Tie Wandao was in a bad mood because he suddenly learned that Wu Xunsheng would probably not live for more than a year. However, the real reason why Tie Wandao was unhappy was that the time of "one year" did not match his expectations - it was not shorter than he expected, but longer.

Before, when Wang Zaiqian sent Tie Wandao and the doctor out of the passage and returned to Wu Xunsheng's main room, Tie Hongyan happened to come to see Wu Xunsheng.

She learned from the always talkative Wang Zaiqian that Tie Wandao and the doctor had just been here, so she asked them what they had done and said when they came here.

Wu Xunsheng and Wang Zaiqian told Tie Hongyan about what happened before.

Seeing Wang Zaiqian in such a good mood, Tie Hongyan thought: The doctor should have diagnosed the real situation, right? The doctors my father found are usually very skilled, so they should be able to diagnose the situation. The doctor said that he didn't need treatment or worry, and that he would be able to recover soon. Was it because he didn't want to tell the truth in front of Wu Xunsheng? This is understandable. But Wang Zaiqian is Wu Xunsheng's subordinate, so didn't the doctor let him know the truth quietly? Although Wang Zaiqian couldn't do anything even if he knew, it was rare for the doctor to not let his subordinate know at all.

Tie Hongyan was about to leave Wu Xunsheng's room, and Wang Zaiqian saw her off to the door, but he didn't leave the room at first.

After Tie Hongyan walked out of the room, she asked Wang Zaiqian to come out as well, and then he went to the inner room. After she closed the door of Wu Xunsheng's room in the inner room, she whispered to Wang Zaiqian: "After you sent my father and the doctor out of Xunsheng's room, did the doctor say anything to you?"

"No." Wang Zai Qian said.

"I didn't tell you about Xunsheng's physical condition again?" Tie Hongyan confirmed again.

"Yes, they left without saying anything." Wang Zaiqian said.

The two exchanged a few more words, and Wang Zai Qian opened the door in the middle and entered Wu Xunsheng's private room.

After watching Wang Zaiqian go in, Tie Hongyan returned to his room and thought: I think the doctor came to diagnose Wu Xunsheng purely to let my father know about his physical condition. I wonder if my father saw the sobering tank in Wu Xunsheng's room just now. From what the two told me, even if my father saw it, he didn't look at it on purpose, right? If my father found something wrong with the sobering tank, he would probably come to my room soon.

Just as she thought of this, Tie Hongyan heard the sound of her subordinates who had been resting in the staff room knocking on the door of her main room.

She opened the door to the main room, and her men told her that the chief was coming to her room.

There was no sobering jar in her room at the moment. If Tie Wandao found that the sobering jar he gave her as the clan leader was missing after entering, the consequences would be disastrous! She was startled, and what Wu Xunsheng had said to her the day before, "the person who collected the things was executed by the clan leader," suddenly popped up in her mind.
