Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1154 Honesty

At this moment, Tie Hongyan realized that what she had said to Tie Jinjue before would not change the fact that she had been forcibly counted as having been pressed with the "Top Secret Seal of Life and Death". She took a deep breath, calmed herself down quickly, and wiped away the remaining tears on her face. She thought that she should immediately understand the "Top Secret Seal of Life and Death" and what Tie Jinjue and the Taoist priest had done when they went to Wu Xunsheng's place before, to see if she could find a way to change the situation. Although she did not intend to let Wu Xunsheng know the secret she had been keeping, she really did not want her behavior to be related to his life in this way.

Tie Hongyan asked, "Is the 'Top Secret Seal of Life and Death' specifically for keeping secrets?"

Tie Jinjue said, “Yes.”

"Who is asked to keep what kind of secret, and how is this information related to jade?" Tie Hongyan continued to ask.

“That information was instilled into the jade by the alchemist through rituals in advance.” Tie Jinjue replied.

"Has Wu Xunsheng touched the jade today?" Tie Hongyan continued to ask.

Tie Jinjue asked: "You really didn't know about the 'Top Secret Seal of Life and Death' before?"

"I don't understand. If I knew, maybe the situation wouldn't have been like that just now." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue asked: "How did you think of asking this question?"

"After all, my behavior is connected to his life... I think this jade may have established a connection with him." Tie Hongyan said.

"You guessed right. Wu Xunsheng did touch this jade." Tie Jinjue said.

"How did you let him touch it?" Tie Hongyan asked, "Anyway, my uncle couldn't tell him the truth directly." Tie Jinjue said, "Hongyan, I hope you can understand. Since I couldn't think of any other way at the time, the way I let him touch the jade might make you unhappy."

"Another trap?" Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue said, "Uncle, I'll tell you the truth. There were indeed some dishonest parts in the process of asking the Taoist priest to do that thing. Hongyan, you know, there are some things I really have no other way. Of course, I hope to be honest all the time, but in an environment like Tiecangting, it is impossible to survive without any problems and accomplish such a big thing. You already know my nature. I really don't like to do dishonest things. I feel uncomfortable every time I do it. In fact, I didn't feel at ease when I treated you like that just now and led you to press the 'Top Secret Life and Death Seal' like that."

"Did my uncle and the Taoist priest let Wu Xunsheng touch the jade stone on the pretext of checking his physical condition?" Tie Hongyan asked. She naturally didn't know the actual situation, but just guessed that it was probably like this.

Tie Jinjue was surprised when he heard this and asked, "How did you know?"

"Guessed." Tie Hongyan said.

"Uncle believes you guessed it." Tie Jinjue said, "Although I was surprised when I heard you guess it right away, I am actually very happy that you guessed it so quickly. I always hope that you can guess all kinds of things and do all kinds of things well. The stronger your ability is, the more at ease I will feel."

"I just made a random guess and never thought I could guess it right." Tie Hongyan said, "Uncle, do you know what I want to guess the most right now?"

"What's the matter?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"If I tell you, uncle, can you honestly tell me what I want to guess?" Tie Hongyan said, looking into Tie Jinjue's eyes.
