Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 376 Jealousy

Guan Wenliang didn't know how to answer, so he used the hatred in his heart to answer Tie Wandao's question. Indeed, as Guan Wenliang said, Wang Qi has been reused by Tie Wandao many years later, because Wang Qi's performance in the past years has surprised Tie Wandao many times and won Tie Wandao's trust. Guan Wenliang was not reused, and other subordinates of Tie Wandao didn't have a good impression of him.

Tie Wandao loosened his clenched fists slightly and said sarcastically, "I hope you can do more for me. You sound so nice! You are a fool who is always causing trouble but not doing more good. Do you want to do more for me or ruin my good deeds? Whenever something goes wrong, you say that it is the work of someone who disagrees with you. You are really something! You dare to speak nonsense without even looking at who you are talking to. Do you take me, the clan leader, seriously?"

At this point, Tie Wandao suddenly remembered the unsolved case of Dong Su's murder many years ago. At that time, he asked who went in first, and Guan Wenliang said, "It seems to be... Wang Qi."

"Clan... Clan leader, I spoke nonsense, but I didn't mean to deceive you. I just... It was just an unintentional mistake... Clan leader, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again!" Guan Wenliang said this, but he was very upset. He thought: It was Wang Qi I saw yesterday! I didn't lie to the clan leader at all! I was flustered and told the clan leader about the private disagreement between me and Wang Qi! But if I don't tell him this reason, how should I answer? The clan leader meant that I couldn't say that the person I saw was Wang Qi!
Although many years have passed, Guan Wenliang still dislikes Wang Qi because of their frequent disagreements. Knowing that Tie Wandao sometimes makes Wang Qi do things that others don't have the opportunity to do, he still feels resentful and unconvinced, just like many years ago. Although Guan Wenliang has not been taken seriously by Tie Wandao for a long time, even if Tie Wandao no longer uses Wang Qi, it is difficult for him to use Guan Wenliang again. However, the resentment accumulated in his heart for many years always eats away at his heart, which makes him always hope that Wang Qi will be scolded by Tie Wandao one day, just like when Tie Wandao told him to "get out".

The first day, after Guan Wenliang saw Wang Qi coming out of Bakong Palace, he had been secretly following him to see what he was going to do. He had guessed that Wang Qi, who came out of Bakong Palace, followed Tie Hongyan and they were the task that Tie Wandao gave to Wang Qi. When Tie Hongyan asked him what he was doing on the secluded road, he didn't dare to tell Tie Hongyan at first, but if he didn't say it, he didn't know how to quickly explain why he followed Tie Hongyan. If he couldn't explain it, he would most likely be taken to the clan leader and interrogated. If he told it, although it was likely to have no good results, in the situation where it was not good for him anyway and he urgently needed to respond, he chose a way that felt less harmful to himself. In addition to feeling that it was less harmful to himself, one of the reasons behind his choice to do so was that he believed that doing so had the potential to harm Wang Qi. Guan Wenliang felt that Tie Wandao asked Wang Qi to act in secret, which must be something he didn't want others to know. If people knew what Tie Wandao didn't allow to be exposed, the person who did it would most likely be punished. When the heart is eaten away by jealousy, it is easy for people to lose their way and stray away from rationality. Even if doing something that is not beneficial to others will also cost oneself, the negative emotions in the heart may very likely restrain that person and make him unwilling to give up the opportunity to make the person who is envied suffer losses. Sometimes, the jealous person even takes action without thinking clearly whether this opportunity can cause the person who is envied to suffer losses, because rationality is surrounded and imprisoned by negative emotions.
