Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2022 (Two Thousand and Twenty-Two) Difficulty
"After you pointed out the thin line to her, she just said 'I saw it'?" Tie Hongyan thought for a moment and said, "Oh, maybe it was because she was in that place at that time and it was inconvenient for her to say more."

"That should be it. To avoid causing trouble, we didn't say anything on the way, and only talked about it after we got to Master Ni's place." Tie Jinjue said, "Later, Master Ni said that if the situation wasn't so serious, the Kuanhong White Jade might not have a second red line so soon. If it wasn't so serious, the Kuanhong White Jade might turn back to white first, and then the second red line would appear after a while."

He almost told Tie Hongyan that Ni Yuan's expression was very solemn at that time, but he swallowed his words back.

"After you got to Ni Yuan's place again, did she tell you the details?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Tie Jinjue hummed, thought for a moment, and said, "I asked her if the results from the test at the Seven Star Zui Ren Pavilion were inconsistent with the results from the test on the Kuanhong White Jade, and she said no."

"Are you sure that everything she learned from her previous practice on the Kuanhong White Jade is correct?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "She went directly to the vicinity of the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion to perform a ritual and learned more details."

Tie Hongyan saw that Tie Jinjue seemed to be in a heavy mood when he said this, so he asked, "Is the situation very worrying?"

Tie Jinjue hummed again.

"Uncle, just tell me directly what specific information she has learned. Didn't she say before that it was related to the position of clan leader? What is going on?" Tie Hongyan said.

"The fortune of the Tiecang tribe has been affected. Master Ni said that if the fortune of the Tiecang tribe had not been affected and everything was normal, the current tribe leader would continue to be the tribe leader, and when the next tribe leader takes office, the next tribe leader would be the current young tribe leader, which would be you." Tie Jinjue asked.

"Master Ni, what you mean is that the current situation has changed and is no longer like this?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"That's what I meant." Tie Jinjue said, "Master Ni didn't say it directly at the time, so I took the initiative to ask her: 'Will there be someone else who will be the clan leader in the future besides the current clan leader and the current junior clan leader?' She said that if we don't make amends as soon as possible, that might happen."

He almost told Ni Yuan what she told him next, that the price to pay for redemption would be huge, but he didn't say it out loud.

Tie Hongyan looked at Tie Jinjue, and saw an indescribable solemnity on his face, so he asked, "Is it difficult to save the relationship?"

Tie Jinjue hadn't figured out how to tell her about this matter, so he didn't answer directly. Instead, he said, "Some things are hard to tell directly how difficult they are, just do it. I was very curious after hearing what Fangshi Ni said about the details, so I asked her what would happen to the future of the Tiecang tribe if she didn't save the relationship quickly and someone else became the future leader of the Tiecang tribe."

Tie Hongyan asked: "What will happen? How will it affect the fortune of the Tiecang tribe?"

Tie Jinjue replied, "She said that if someone else becomes the leader of the Tiecang tribe, countless people will soon lose their lives, and those who survive will suffer extremely. She also told me that the most serious consequences are more than that. The situation will affect the situation hundreds of years later, and the infinite suffering will continue to future generations."
