Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2462 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Sixty-Two) Martial Arts

In Tiecang Court, except for Tie Jinjue who wore something to prevent the alchemists from casting spells on him without his knowledge and doing something unfavorable to him, the other elders also wore such things for self-protection, but different people wore different things. Those were all designed for them by the alchemists according to the specific personal circumstances of the patriarch and several elders.

The thing that Nie Huihou wore had indeed helped him to ward off trouble in the past. Once, a Taoist priest wanted to cast a spell on him to make him faint temporarily, but he failed to do so.

Nie Huihou really wanted to know if Quan Chumeng had done anything to him, so he asked, "Did you use magic?"

Quan Chu Meng did use magic.

Before this, when he felt that Nie Huihao was going to throw him out like throwing the candle, he had already silently recited a spell and used magic to protect himself. Even if Nie Huihao really threw Quan Chumeng out, Quan Chumeng would not be injured if he hit the wall.

Quan Chumeng didn't want Nie Huihao to know that he had secretly used magic at first, but when he used the magic, he also thought that if there was any abnormal phenomenon, Nie Huihao would probably ask him. He had already prepared himself. If Nie Huihao asked him, he would tell the truth, so that Nie Huihao would feel that he was not lying to him, and might even think that he was really capable.

So, when he heard what Nie Huihou said, Quan Chumeng said directly: "Yes."

Nie Huihou really wanted to ask Quan Chumeng if he had suddenly let go because Quan Chumeng had cast a spell on him. However, he immediately remembered what Quan Chumeng had said before, "It can be seen that Elder Nie is extremely wise! You obviously understand that if you let me go and spare my life this time, you will truly capture me and make me follow you wholeheartedly! Capturing me means capturing the position of the patriarch of the Tiecang tribe. If you let me go, you will be the patriarch of the Tiecang tribe in the future!" He felt that if he asked these words, it would embarrass himself.

Nie Huihou simply said, "Since you have performed the ritual, why are you still saying that it was all thanks to my great martial arts skills? You don't have to say anything nice to me! Don't think that I will forget the infuriating consequences of the ritual you just mentioned!"

Quan Chumeng found that Nie Huihao mentioned the result of the ritual again, and felt that it was not appropriate to talk about the result when Nie Huihao was still emotionally unstable. In order to calm Nie Huihao's anger, he had said "Thanks to Elder Nie's high martial arts skills!" before Nie Huihao asked him this question without thinking too much. At this moment, Nie Huihao asked him this question again, and he felt that it was indeed appropriate to talk about this topic at this time. However, he knew very well that what he said before had no basis. His ability to stand steadily when he landed had nothing to do with whether Nie Huihao knew martial arts.

In order to make his previous words sound more reasonable, he made up a story and said, "It was because I was captured by a martial arts expert that I was able to land so steadily after using magic. If the person who captured me was not a martial arts expert, or did not know martial arts, I would not have fallen so badly after using magic, but I would not have been able to stand so steadily!"

Nie Huihou asked: "Does it really have anything to do with my good martial arts?"

Quan Chumeng felt that Nie Huihou suspected him, and his heart trembled, but he thought, since he had already said some of the fabricated words, he had to make them up to the end, and he could not stutter while speaking, and his tone of voice had to show that he was not guilty.
