Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2088 (Two Thousand and Eighty-Eight) Childhood
“I’m… sorry, Chief, I don’t know who she is… who she is…” the subordinate said, “I’m worried that she’s not… human…”

Tie Wandao was thinking about what his men said about the Muxi Pavilion, the singing, and the fact that they didn't know if it was a human. Suddenly, he remembered that he had heard from older people that many years ago, a person had been imprisoned in the Muxi Pavilion. Sometimes, very sad singing could be heard from the pavilion, as if it was haunted. Later, that person hanged himself on the top floor.

Tie Wandao thought about this and asked, "It's not a human? Could it be a ghost?"

Tie Wandao spoke so loudly that the subordinate was frightened and trembled violently.

The subordinate said: "No...I don't know!"

"What the hell! How ridiculous! Where is Tiecangting? How could there be ghosts? Would a ghost dare to come? Who am I, Tie Wandao?!" said Tie Wandao.

Although Tie Wandao's tone of voice was sarcastic towards his subordinates, they seemed to be comforted by his words. They calmed down a little and said, "Yes... that's right... you are the clan leader, how... how could any ghost dare to appear in Tiecangting..."

The subordinate thought: Yes, as long as the clan leader is here, she won’t come looking for me!
However, the subordinates were just comforting themselves and were still afraid.

"That's good to know." Tie Wandao said, "You said she was singing? Did you hear what song she was singing?"

The subordinate said: "It seems...it seems..."

"It seems like what? Stop hesitating and tell me!" Tie Wandao said.

"It seems to be a song I heard before when I went to the place where the blue-armored people gathered." The subordinate replied.

"The song of the blue-armored man?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Should... should be..." the subordinate replied. Tie Wandao remembered that he had heard that the person who committed suicide in Muxi Pavilion sang the song of the blue-armored man, and suddenly felt a little strange. He also thought of the suicide of the sometimes singing man who was imprisoned in Muxi Pavilion. People who originally lived near Muxi Pavilion moved to other places, and later no one went to that area. At this time, he suddenly thought that the situation was a little unbelievable.

"Did you hear it right?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Absolutely... Absolutely not wrong!" said the subordinate, "How dare I say such a thing? Not daring to deceive the clan leader is one thing, but mentioning 'her' is also quite scary..."

"What are you afraid of?!" Tie Wandao said, "If I hadn't seen you in this state today, I wouldn't have known that someone as brave as you could have such a moment!"

When the subordinates heard Tie Wandao say "it looks like a ghost", their hearts trembled again.

"This may have something to do with the fact that I heard some stories about ghosts when I was a child and was frightened by them." The subordinate said, "I hope the clan leader will forgive me!"

Tie Wandao sneered and said, "I used to think you were very brave and wanted to know what you were afraid of. Today I found out that you are afraid of ghosts! It's ridiculous just to think about it!"

The subordinate lowered his head slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, but fear still occupied his heart.

Tie Wandao thought his subordinate's frightened look was ridiculous, so he deliberately asked him: "What was the tune of the song you heard at Muxi Pavilion before? Do you want to sing it for me?"

When the subordinate told Tie Wandao about this, he was worried that he would offend the singer, not to mention singing her song. At this time, the subordinate said: "Sorry, Chief! I... I can't sing."

Tie Wandao asked: "You can't sing or you don't dare to sing?"
