Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1343 (One Thousand Three Hundred and Forty-Three) Helpless

Tie Hongyan learned from Jian Liang that what Nie Huihao was thinking at the time was that after Tie Hongyan told him the method to punish Nie Yangwei, if he felt it was too severe, he would privately find Tie Hongyan and use this matter to threaten her before officially punishing Nie Yangwei, so that she would not dare to punish Nie Yangwei too severely. Nie Huihao also wanted Jian Liang to speak for him and threaten her together with him.

Tie Hongyan asked Jian Liang how he could threaten her with just this.

Jian Liang said: "Elder Nie discovered that Hua Mizhen was carrying a letter, and that letter was related to the Acting Clan Leader."

Tie Hongyan was shocked again when he heard this, thinking: Is this true? Could the letter Hua Mizhen brought be related to me?
She acted calmly and asked, "What letter?"

Jian Liang told her that it was a letter written by someone else to Hua Mizhen, and that person called Hua Mizhen "Sister Hua". Jian Liang said: "This is important evidence for what Elder Nie said, 'She is Hua Mizhen'."

Tie Hongyan thought: She even calls me "Sister Hua"! Could it be Hua Mizhen herself?

Tie Hongyan said, "Hua?" and said, "'Sister Hua'? How is that possible?"

She had decided to act like she believed Jian Liang but was surprised. But at this moment, the information about "Sister Hua" made her feel that it was not appropriate to continue to act like she believed him. She heard that the blue-armored man not only looked like that, but also that the name he was addressed by also had the word "Hua" in it. She felt that this matter was too serious.

Jian Liang told Tie Hongyan that this was also Elder Nie's way of threatening her. Just after Jian Liang said "He thinks...", he paused, then slowed down his speech and said, "He thinks Hua Mizhen was not really killed by you."

Tie Hongyan thought: I don't know what happened yet, I must stay calm now. This kind of thing is not enough to show that Elder Nie has learned about some of the things I have done! If this thing itself is deliberately done by someone, I can't be upset because of it. If others don't know what I have done at all, and don't intend to find out what I have done, if I get upset and expose something, it will be troublesome.

She felt that her reaction at this moment would be the best to show that she thought Elder Nie's idea was strange, so she smiled helplessly: "Elder Nie's idea is too strange, you saw me kill her with your own eyes that day, right?"

Jian Liang said yes, indicating that he clearly saw her kill Hua Mizhen. He continued, "But Elder Nie believes that you can lead troops to defeat the Guishi monster on the battlefield. Maybe it's because you are different from humans, or even... different from humans."

Hearing this, Tie Hongyan really found it a little ridiculous. However, on the other hand, she also thought about whether Nie Huihou's comment that she was different from humans was related to her ability to do some very strange things.

Tie Hongyan asked Jian Liang: "Could it be that Elder Nie has mistaken my identity for that of a demon?"

Jian Liang said that Elder Nie had this intention at the time. He also told Tie Hongyan that Nie Huihou had even said to him: "Perhaps the Acting Clan Leader has already acquired the nature of a demon. To put it more clearly, the Acting Clan Leader may be a demon."

Tie Hongyan felt that most people would not believe and would find such words ridiculous. She thought it would be best for her to act as if she found them ridiculous and unbelievable. Of course, because the matter involved herself, she still felt that she needed to show some helplessness.
