Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3377 (Three Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Seven) Harm

Ning Duanye quickly explained: "That's not the case! Chief, I can prove it!"

Tie Wandao said: "Let me ask you a question first. Do you know the 'specific' reason why the life span of a young clan hero cannot exceed eleven months?"

Ning Duanye said: "I don't know about this."

Tie Wandao felt a little relieved after hearing this. He felt that at least his "Sobering Tank Plan" would not be exposed directly. However, he was still worried and asked again: "Do you know the 'rough' reason?"

Ning Duanye said: "I don't know at the moment."

"You don't even know 'roughly'?" Tie Wandao asked, "Is there any way to find out?"

Ning Duanye replied: "Based on what I know now, I probably won't be able to understand. If..."

Having said that, Ning Duanye hesitated for a moment and did not continue.

"If what?" Tie Wandao asked.

Ning Duanye had no choice but to continue, so he said, "If you can let me know some other circumstances, I don't know if I can find out the reasons from other aspects in the future."

"What's the situation?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I can't really explain it, for example... for example, some of Shao Zuying's experiences, some strange things he encountered, and so on..." Ning Duanye said, "Of course... this scope is too broad, which is equivalent to me investigating this matter alone. Even if I really investigate this matter, I may not be able to find out anything at all."

Tie Wandao said: "If you can't find out the truth from the investigation, what else can you say?"

Ning Duanye said: "My master told me that I can't say anything absolutely, so I said this."

"Do you think other alchemists can see why Shao Zuying is in this situation now?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I think that it is impossible to tell by looking directly. Even if we look at it through practice, it would be extremely difficult to understand without special investigation." Ning Duanye replied.

"After all this talk, you have no way of knowing, right?" Tie Wandao asked. Ning Duanye replied: "I... based on the information I have now, I have no way of knowing."

"Actually, you know the reason!" Tie Wandao said.

"Chief, I really don't know. I'm telling the truth." Ning Duanye said.

"You know the reason, but you can't tell it, right?" Tie Wandao glanced at Ning Duanye and said, "Once you tell us, we will all know what you did to Shao Zuying."

"It's really not like that!" Ning Duanye said, "I can tell you what I did to Shao Zuying!"

"Do you mean that you didn't harm Shao Zuying?" Tie Wandao asked.

Ning Duanye's heart trembled when he heard the word "harm".

"Of course!" Ning Duanye said, "Shao Zuying and I have no grudges against each other, I can't possibly harm Shao Zuying!"

"Then why were you so nervous when you went to meet us just now?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Because I told the clan leader before that I would go there with the young clan leader, but I went there alone. This is different from what I told the clan leader before, so I was naturally nervous." Ning Duanye explained.

Tie Wandao asked: "If you didn't harm Shao Zuying, and found out that Shao Zuying hadn't woken up yet, what were you afraid of?"

"I thought Shao Zuying should have woken up by then." Ning Duanye said.

"If he didn't wake up, that means something went wrong, right?" Tie Wandao asked.

"It's not a problem. I didn't expect the situation regarding his life span to be so... so..." Ning Duanye said, "It's actually... There's no room for maneuver at all!"
