Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1764 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Sixty Four) Gesture

Tie Hongyan wrote to him that she understood the pain he had endured for her, but she didn't want him to know. She also told him that she was grateful, but hoped that he would not do such a thing again in the future.

Wu Xunsheng looked at her and said, "Hongyan, I am your companion in battle, always!"

The tears in Tie Hongyan's eyes fell again, and she wiped them away quickly.

This time, Wu Xunsheng saw it clearly. He was no longer worried that she would see his bitten lip, so he approached her, smiled and said to her: "Don't cry about this. I'm fine. You don't have to feel burdened or grateful to me. I do this completely voluntarily. No one forces me. I just like doing it."

Tie Hongyan looked at his lips carefully at this moment and saw that the wounds were very obvious. Tears welled up in his eyes again, and then he quickly wiped them away.

"Hongyan..." Wu Xunsheng looked at her.

She avoided his gaze, lowered her head and asked him through writing why he left the reception room before the Taoist priest finished his ritual.

Wu Xunsheng said: "It was the clan leader who asked me to leave."

Tie Hongyan then asked him through writing how Tie Wandao performed at that time.

Wu Xunsheng recalled and said, "At that time, the clan leader looked at me, then he immediately stood up, made a gesture to me, and then opened the door between the guest hall and the inner residence and let me enter the inner residence. Then he also entered the inner residence and pointed at the door of my room, using this gesture to signal me to go back quickly." As Wu Xunsheng spoke, he also imitated the gesture that Tie Wandao had made to him at that time.

Tie Hongyan wrote to ask Wu Xunsheng whether those alchemists had mentioned to him before that he needed to leave the reception hall early.

After reading it, Wu Xunsheng said, "The Taoist priest never mentioned it to me."

Tie Hongyan frowned, feeling puzzled, and wrote again, asking him if Tie Wandao had not told him in advance. Wu Xunsheng shook his head and said, "No. No one told me in advance. It was at that time that the clan leader suddenly asked me to return to my own room, which seemed to be his last-minute decision. In fact, I was worried that you would feel unwell at that time, and I wanted to pay attention to your situation all the time, so I was reluctant to leave early. Later, when I returned to my room, I was still wondering how you were doing."

Tie Hongyan wrote some more words for him to see.

Wu Xunsheng replied after reading it: "I didn't understand it at the time, but since the clan leader took the initiative to send me to Neijuli, I think the clan leader must have his reasons."

It turned out that Tie Hongyan was asking him whether he had figured out why Tie Wandao did that at that time.

Tie Hongyan wrote again and asked him if he had figured out the reason why Tie Wandao did that.

Wu Xunsheng shook his head again and said, "I didn't think much about it afterwards. I guess I wouldn't be able to figure it out even if I tried."

Tie Hongyan found it very strange and asked Wu Xunsheng through writing whether he left the guest hall at that time entirely because the clan leader asked him to leave.

Wu Xunsheng nodded and replied, "Yes, that's exactly why."

Tie Hongyan wrote some words for him to see.

After reading the contents, Wu Xunsheng smiled at her and said, "No. Of course I'm fine."

It turned out that Tie Hongyan was worried that he was in too much pain during the Taoist ritual and felt unwell, so he had to leave the scene quickly, so he wrote to ask him if there was such a reason.
