Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1158 (One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty Eight) Front

Tie Hongyan said: "When I was a child, I told him that I hated the dark. In fact, what puzzled me was not this sentence, but the fact that what he said later happened to be related to what my uncle did today."

Tie Jinjue quickly asked: "What are you talking about?"

"He asked me, if I could save a life by opening my heart to him, would I open it?" Tie Hongyan said, "Today, regarding the jade incident, my uncle said that if I pressed the top of the jade with my left thumb before the incense went out, the top of the jade would glow, and my secret would soon be known by Wu Xunsheng, but this could save his life. The reason why I said, 'Uncle, did you not receive any hints before you came up with this method?' is because I thought of the question Wu Xunsheng asked me yesterday. But I didn't know how to ask you. Now that we've come to this point, I can say that I've asked this question in this way."

At that time, Wu Xunsheng said that to find out how deep the secret in her heart was buried by her. Later, before Tie Jinjue led her to press the "Secret Life and Death Seal", he said that to use the excuse of saving Wu Xunsheng's life to achieve his goal of making her keep it secret in the future. The purpose of Wu Xunsheng and Tie Jinjue talking was related to the secret in her heart. Although one was to find out how deep the secret was buried in her heart, and the other was to make her never reveal the secret to Wu Xunsheng, the words they said happened to be similar. In fact, when Tie Hongyan heard Tie Jinjue say that if she pressed the top surface of the jade with her left thumb, the top surface of the jade would glow, and her secret would be known by Wu Xunsheng, but this could save his life, her mind flashed the scene of Wu Xunsheng asking her the day before if she could open her heart lock to him and save a person's life, would she open it? The situation was urgent at the time, and it only flashed for a moment and disappeared.

"What he said means that he thinks it is true that you have locked your heart away?" Tie Jinjue frowned.

Tie Hongyan said: "He said 'if' at that time. It was like this, he said at first that I had locked my heart, and I never directly admitted it, so he asked, 'if' I had always locked my heart, assuming that if I opened my heart to him, I could save a life, would I open it?"

"Whose life did he mean to save?" Tie Jinjue asked, "How did you respond at that time?"

"I told him that this assumption was strange and that some things depend on the specific circumstances. I also asked him whose life he was talking about when he saved it," said Tie Hongyan.

"Then what did he say?" Tie Jinjue looked a little nervous.

"He said no matter whose life was saved, it was just a hypothesis. He asked me if I would open it." Tie Hongyan said.

"You didn't give a direct answer?" Tie Jinjue said, "I don't think you can give a direct answer." "Yes, there is no way to give a direct answer to this kind of question." Tie Hongyan said.

"Then how did you digress?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I told him directly at the time: 'You can't just ignore this. If you don't tell me who it is, I certainly can't answer it.' I also told him that answering such hypothetical questions doesn't make much sense," said Tie Hongyan.

"He just let you digress like this?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"Yeah." Tie Hongyan nodded.

"Ah? What did he say next?" Tie Jinjue continued to ask.

"He said 'yes' and said he wouldn't ask anymore." Tie Hongyan replied.

After hearing this, Tie Jinjue's expression changed from nervousness to confusion.
