Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2408 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Eight) Description
When Tie Hongyan heard this, he felt that the situation was even more troublesome, and asked Tie Jinjue: "What did the Taoist priest say?"

Tie Jinjue replied: "The Taoist priest said no."

"Did the Taoist priest explain to my father why he couldn't do it?" Tie Hongyan asked again.

"I heard." Tie Jinjue said, "The Taoist priest said that if someone who doesn't know magic wants to tamper with the monitoring system, they won't do it at the object that is blocking the passage, but at the place where the Taoist priest has set up the monitoring system. The object that is blocking the passage is some distance away from the place where the Taoist priest has set up the monitoring system."

"After hearing all this, does my father still have doubts about that girl?" Tie Hongyan asked again.

"It should still be the case. The clan leader asked again whether the girl that the Taoist saw in the observation fan could see the place where the Taoist had set up the monitoring record when she was working at the place where the thing blocked the passage." Tie Jinjue said, "The Taoist told him that she could see it, and there were no changes in other places at that time. The Taoist also said that he felt that the girl did not know that the basement of Muxi Pavilion was monitored by the Taoist."

Tie Hongyan asked, "What did my father say after hearing this?"

Tie Jinjue replied: "The clan leader asked the alchemist if there was another situation. That situation was thought up by the clan leader."

"What's going on?" Tie Hongyan asked. At this moment, she felt that her father's next words seemed to still contain suspicion of the girl, although she really didn't want that to happen.

Tie Jinjue said, "The clan leader said that maybe the action that the girl originally wanted to do in Muxi Pavilion was not the action that the Taoist saw in the Guanji fan. However, because she knew that there was a monitor watching her behavior and she was sure that she couldn't remove the monitor, she didn't do what she really wanted to do, but just practiced martial arts at the place blocking the passage. Even if her actions were recorded by the monitor, others would not be able to know what she was going to do there."

Tie Hongyan said: "My father said, 'She can't remove the monitoring record.' Does this mean that he already believed that the girl couldn't use magic?"

Tie Jinjue said: "It should be."

"What did the Taoist priest tell my father?" Tie Hongyan asked again.

Tie Jinjue replied: "The Taoist priest said that the clan leader's speculation makes sense, but it is difficult for people who don't know magic to know that there is a recorder here. He also said that he thinks the girl probably doesn't know magic."

Tie Hongyan asked: "My father and the Taoist priest both think that the girl probably doesn't know magic, but I think my father still feels that the girl did something in Muxi Pavilion that made him feel threatened."

Tie Jinjue nodded and said, "Yes, the clan leader then said that even if the girl is an ordinary person, if she recites a short spell, then the short spell must have been taught to her directly by a spell-master."

Tie Hongyan said: "Even if my father already thinks that the girl doesn't know magic, he will still think that she is related to someone who knows magic."

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "The clan leader also said at the time: 'Even if she, who doesn't know magic, doesn't know that someone has set up a monitoring record here, who told her the short spell?' It was because the clan leader said this that the Taoist priest told him that if someone who knows magic had performed a spell on the Muxi Pavilion after the twelve hours, as long as the magician didn't destroy the monitoring record instantly, the monitoring record would be able to record the changes that took place in the basement of the Muxi Pavilion. After saying this, the Taoist priest also said that even the slightest change could be recorded, and he could see it through the observation fan."
