Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1366 (One Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty Six) Posture

Nie Huihou told the people present that the letter was evil, and said that some people might not believe him just because he said it. So he asked his men to find a few alchemists to identify the letter in front of everyone.

Then, he whispered to several of his other subordinates about going to find the alchemist. After hearing this, his subordinates went to find the alchemist.

While Nie Huihou was talking to his men, Tie Hongyan was finally able to move, open her eyes, and hear voices. She opened her eyes, and the headache suddenly disappeared. In order to hide the headache, she continued to stand in the same place and maintained the same posture after opening her eyes, but turned her head to look around. She found that Hua Mizhen was gone, and saw the blood on the ground. She felt that Hua Mizhen was either dead or injured, and she suddenly felt unspeakable sadness in her heart, but she knew very well that she could not show it at all, and her expression did not change. She wanted to know what happened before, but felt that she could not ask right away.

At this time, she heard someone say to her: "Acting Clan Leader, it was Elder Nie who sent people to find the alchemist. Isn't that unfair?" These words came from a very pale-faced man.

When some other people heard what this person said, they also started talking about it. Those who spoke felt that this was unfair and unreasonable to Tie Hongyan.

Tie Hongyan thanked those people. She felt that she needed to mention why she hadn't done anything before to prevent others from getting suspicious. So she said to the people present: "I just stood here without saying anything or doing anything, just to know what Elder Nie would do in this situation."

She had not changed her posture since she was able to move, and only at this moment did she change her posture. She did this to give people the impression that she had always been able to move, but she just stood there and didn't want to move.

She then said to the people present: "That's it. Let's see what happens in a while."

Nie Huihou didn't see clearly who said, "Acting Clan Leader, the alchemist was sent by Elder Nie to find him. Isn't that unfair?" He couldn't tell who said that, so he could only say to those people, "It's fair. I won't say anything to the alchemists later. Let them judge for themselves."

After hearing Tie Hongyan say "Let's just leave it at that", the people present stopped speaking loudly and started talking in low voices.

At this time Tian Sha said: "Everyone heard what Elder Nie said. I think he will keep his word in front of so many people." When she said this, it deepened the impression left on the people present by what Nie Huihou had said before. At the same time, it was a reminder to Nie Huihou that since he said "I won't say anything to the alchemists later", he should not go back on his word in front of so many people.

Although Nie Huihou said that he "would not say anything to the alchemists later", it did not mean that he had not asked his subordinates to say something to the alchemists before. Tian Sha was worried that what Nie Huihou had asked his subordinates to say would affect the result of the appraisal, so he decided to say it in public. In this way, if something unfair happened to Tie Hongyan later, people present would be more likely to think that what Nie Huihou had asked his subordinates to do before might lead to unfairness.

Tian Sha said: "As for what Elder Nie just said to his men, and what his men will tell the alchemist when they find him, I don't want to speculate too much."
