Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3396 (Three Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety Six) Four Roots

"Actually, you are not worried about Shao Zuying, but you are afraid of being misunderstood?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I know the young hero is not in danger, there is no need to worry." Ning Duanye said.

Tie Wandao said, "When I first asked you why you were so scared when you were sure Shao Zuying would wake up, you asked me if you could wait until Shao Zuying woke up before answering this question. I asked you if answering at that time would affect Shao Zuying's awakening. You remember what you answered me next, right?"

"I remember it." Ning Duanye said.

"Go on, tell me how you answered." Tie Wandao said.

"I would say that won't happen, but it will affect other aspects." Ning Duanye said.

Tie Wandao said: "Can you tell me now what other aspects you are talking about?"

"Yes." Ning Duanye said.

"Speak." Tie Wandao said.

"It's...about...me." Ning Duanye said.

"What do you mean by aspects related to you?" Tie Wandao asked.

"At that time, Shao Zuying had not yet woken up. If I answered this question, I was worried that I would be punished." Ning Duanye said, "The situation before and after Shao Zuying woke up was completely different."

"You actually rejected my question right then because you were worried about being punished?!" Tie Wandao asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Clan leader." Ning Duanye said.

"Speak fully." Tie Wandao said. Ning Duanye said: "You are the chief of the largest tribe, the Tiecang tribe!"

Tie Wandao felt relieved after hearing this, but he still said, "The leader of the largest tribe, Tiecang, asked you a question, but you didn't answer immediately. What do you mean?"

Ning Duanye explained: "It was precisely because of the clan leader's majesty that I was even more afraid and did not dare to answer. At that time, I first asked the clan leader if I could wait until the young clan leader woke up before answering this question, and I also said that I hoped the clan leader would forgive me."

"You asked, but I didn't directly agree that you didn't have to answer right away. I continued to ask you questions, but you told me later that you would answer later, and then you said something like 'I hope the clan leader will forgive me!'" Tie Wandao said, "Don't you think you acted on your own initiative?"

"Thank you, clan leader, for your tolerance and generosity." Ning Duanye said.

"You said that you were more afraid and didn't dare to answer because I had authority. But now you dare to answer. Is my authority still there?" Tie Wandao asked.

Tie Wandao still felt that it was a waste of time to ask these meaningless questions, but he still couldn't help asking, which made him feel helpless.

"Always there!" Ning Duanye said, "Of course the clan leader's authority is always there! It's just that now that the young clan hero has woken up, the situation is different, so I can answer. I didn't say I wouldn't answer just now, I just asked to answer after some time."

Tie Wandao didn't want to talk about this anymore, thinking that if he continued, he might ask some questions that he himself didn't think were meaningful. He thought that if he changed the topic to something else, maybe his situation would be better.

"Then let me ask you another question." Tie Wandao said, "Didn't you tell us before that as long as we see the young hero and see that all four candles are extinguished, we can speak and act freely?"

"Yes." Ning Duanye said.

"However, after we saw Shao Zuying and saw that all four candles were extinguished, he stopped the Shao Zuying when the Shao Zuzhang approached him. Are you saying one thing and doing another again?" Tie Wandao asked.
