Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1332: Insights

Ran Xianke said to Tie Hongyan: "Acting clan leader, don't listen to their rumors! I will deal with them all now!" As he said that, he was about to use his sword to stab the man in blue armor.

Tie Hongyan asked him to stop, and said, "You want to silence me quickly, right?"

Ran Xianke was so frightened that he stopped immediately and his sword fell to the ground. He said that he was really wronged and told her not to believe the words of the two blue-armored criminals.

Tie Hongyan asked the two men in blue armor whether the other man in blue armor had been burned to death by Ran Xianke.

Neither of them said anything.

Tie Hongyan asked: "You won't answer at all?"

The blue-armored man who had Ran Xianke pointing a sword at his throat said that Tie Hongyan was from Tiecang and would not believe what they, the blue-armored men, said at all.

Tie Hongyan said: "How can you be sure that I don't believe you when you haven't answered yet?"

When she said this, she deliberately let her tone carry a strong sense of superiority, making people feel that she was obviously not asking a sincere question, but trying to get something out of Lan Jia. The reason why she did this was because Ran Xianke, a man from Tiecang, was next to her, and she would never give him the feeling that she would have a good conversation with Lan Jia.

The blue-armored man said, "It's because I am a blue-armored man. I was born a blue-armored man! We blue-armored people are actually not regarded as human beings by you. Can you believe what a 'lowly blue-armored man with no sense' says?"

This once again made Tie Hongyan feel pain in her heart. She thought of the cruel scenes she had remembered when she mentioned the smell before. She thought: Just because the Blue Armored People are born as Blue Armored People, they are oppressed and even killed at will. This is really absurd! No matter how difficult this road is, I must change this environment, I must!
The words that the blue-armored man said next made her heart surge with emotion.

"You Tiecang people forbid us to receive certain educations because you are afraid that we will know more and awaken! You usually call us 'uninformed lowly blue-armored people', but we are guilty of a crime just by reading a book and you want to kill us! On the one hand, you say we are ignorant, but on the other hand, you are afraid that we may become knowledgeable and prevent us from gaining knowledge!"

Hearing this, Tie Hongyan remembered what she and You Xiangming heard an adult say to a child on the way back: "You don't read books and have no knowledge, what's the difference between you and the blue-armored people?" Before she had time to think about it, her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of another blue-armored person.

"That's right. They first block our channels for gaining knowledge, and then say that we are ignorant. Once someone accidentally becomes a 'slippery fish' under their control and gets a chance to gain knowledge, they will convict and kill him!" said the man in blue armor.

Although the blue-armored man said this in order to say that the people of Tiecang who did not regard the blue-armored man as a human being would not disbelieve what the people of Tiecang said in front of the blue-armored man because of what the blue-armored man said, Tie Hongyan felt heavy again from his words. She seemed to see generations of blue-armored people who had no breathing space struggling under heavy pressure, but had to repeat the tragedy of the previous generation.

After the blue-armored man continued to say a few words, Ran Xianke told Tie Hongyan not to be fooled. He said, "They are obviously just trying to provoke us with words. These lowly blue-armored people are trying to sow discord!"

Tie Hongyan asked Ran Xianke: "What crime did these two ridiculous blue-armored men commit to deserve such punishment?"
