Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2252 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Two) Only

Tie Wandao looked at the candles and said, "Okay. Go out and perform the ritual."

"Yes, clan leader." Li Pingrun said.

Li Pingrun went to the outside of Muxi Pavilion to perform a ritual on Yuanshuang's Mingxin Stone.

Not long after Li Pingrun left, Tie Jinjue talked to him for a while and then remembered something he was curious about, so he asked Tie Wandao, "Before I went to Bakong Palace to find the clan leader again, were you and him the only two people in the room you were in?"

Tie Wandao didn't immediately remember what Li Pingrun was doing at the time. He just remembered that before Tie Jinjue went in, there were only him and Li Pingrun in his room, and no one else had ever been in there. So he said, "Yes."

"That's strange." Tie Jinjue said.

"What's wrong?" Tie Wandao asked.

"When I reached the door of the room, I heard another person's voice. Although I couldn't hear clearly what he said, the voice was really different from his!" Tie Jinjue said.

Tie Wandao began to recall what happened at that time and suddenly laughed.

Tie Jinjue asked, "What's wrong?"

Tie Wandao suddenly stopped smiling, stood there blankly, and said "hmm", looking like he was distracted. Tie Wandao's reaction really surprised Tie Jinjue.

Tie Jinjue thought: Why didn't the clan leader answer, but just said "hmm"? I was asking him a question, did he not hear clearly what I was asking? Should I ask again? But if he heard clearly, but did not want to answer, and wanted to use "hmm" to change the subject, in this case, if I ask again, will it make the clan leader angry? I want to participate in the removal of the Gonghun Talisman later, if I make him angry, will it affect this matter? But the clan leader's expression is very strange! This is abnormal! Did something happen in the room before? Why did he suddenly laugh when I told him about the situation at that time, and then suddenly stopped laughing, as if he was distracted, and still just said "hmm"?
At this moment, Tie Jinjue heard Tie Wandao say "hmm" again.

Tie Jinjue was startled again and thought: I didn't say anything else, why did he say "hmm" again?
Tie Jinjue said: "Patriarch, what did you say?"

However, after he asked this question, Tie Jin remained silent.

Tie Jinjue said, "Chief, excuse me for asking, did anything strange happen when you were in that room with him before?"

Tie Wandao seemed to be still distracted, his eyes looking in one direction, and he did not answer Tie Jinjue.

Tie Jinjue thought: What's going on? The clan leader won't have any opinion about me, right?

So Tie Jinjue just called out: "Chief!"

At this time Tie Jinjue uttered "hmm" again.

Tie Jinjue thought: The clan leader said “hmm” again, what should I say to him? Why didn’t the clan leader react at all when I asked questions before? Did he keep silent because he didn’t want to answer my questions? But… the clan leader’s personality is not like this. If he is unhappy after hearing what I said, he should express his dissatisfaction directly in front of me. He will immediately tell me not to ask again. However, in the current situation, he did not tell me directly whether he was dissatisfied with my asking such questions, but he did not answer my questions and said “hmm”. It is really abnormal! After his smile disappeared, his eyes were strange. What was he thinking? Otherwise, I told him that if it is not convenient to say it, forget it and see how he reacts?
