Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2099 (Two Thousand and Ninety-Nine) Early in the Morning

"Let me ask you again, have you never been diagnosed with any problems with your ears before?" Tie Wandao asked.

"No." said the subordinate.

Tie Wandao asked again: "Are you sure you heard it?"

"Sure." said the subordinate.

Tie Wandao stared into his eyes without saying anything else.

The subordinate quickly said, "If I wasn't sure about this, how...how could I dare to tell the clan leader! But such a strange...thing happened in Tiecang Ting, I would be worried about Tiecang Ting, so out of a sense of responsibility I must...must report it to the clan leader. I was sure that this thing really happened, so I came here with the clan leader to see it. Even someone like me who had a trauma in this regard when I was a child came here because I thought it was too...too strange."

Tie Wandao turned his gaze away from his men's eyes and said, "Everything you reported to me before was later proven to be true."

The subordinate said: "I have never lied to the clan leader. I don't have the heart to do so, nor... I don't have the courage to do so."

Tie Wandao said, "Let me tell you, it's already dark outside. Do you want to go back to your residence to rest tonight, or do you want to stay here?"

"Stay...Stay?" The subordinate widened his eyes and stammered. What he feared most was that Tie Wandao would ask him to stay in this terrifying Muxi Pavilion that night. He immediately said, "Of course I want to go back to my residence to rest!"

"Okay, but starting from tomorrow, don't do anything else. Come to Muxi Pavilion in the morning and wait to hear when the singing will sound again." Tie Wandao said.

"Will we come here...here again tomorrow?" the subordinate said nervously.

"Yeah, don't you want to go back first and come back tomorrow?" Tie Wandao said, "Well, that's fine, then I'll leave, and you'll naturally be here tomorrow."

"Chief! I...I am willing! I am willing! Just let me go back and rest today...that's all!" said the subordinate. "That's what you said. You come here early tomorrow morning and wait here on your own initiative. If you don't want to come in, you can wait outside the door of Muxi Pavilion, but not too far away from Muxi Pavilion." Tie Wandao said, "If I come, you must let me see you quickly. If I can't find you, you will suffer!"

"Yes, I understand, Chief. I will come here and wait tomorrow morning." The subordinate said, "Please let me go back to my residence to rest."

After the subordinate finished speaking, he thought: I feel so scared even though I came here with the tribe leader today. If I come here alone tomorrow... I simply cannot bear to think about it... No matter what, it's good enough that I can get back to my residence now.

Tie Wandao untied the rope on his subordinate and put it in his pocket.

The subordinate thanked Tie Wandao and immediately walked to his side.

Tie Wandao said to his subordinates, "Remember, when you meet other people later, don't mention the matter of Muxi Pavilion. Just say that I have a mission for you and you are doing it. If someone asks you what the mission is, tell them that the clan leader told you not to tell them, and they will naturally stop asking. Got it?"

"Yes, I understand, Chief." said the subordinate.

"If anyone asks you this after you go back, you should say the same thing." Tie Wandao said.

"Yes." said the subordinate.

Tie Wandao walked out of Muxi Pavilion, and his men followed him out.

Tie Wandao took out a lock from his other pocket and locked the door of Muxi Pavilion from the outside. There were two keys to the lock, and he kept one for himself and gave the other key to his men.
