Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 673 Warriors

He spoke a few words to Tie Hongyan somewhat awkwardly, and did not ask the question about her headache that he wanted to ask earlier, nor did he tell her that the reason he was holding two umbrellas was because he was going to give her one. He then walked out of the hall directly and went to return the umbrella to Li Xingyi.

Tie Hongyan only saw him leaving in a hurry with two umbrellas, and naturally did not think that he was about to give her an umbrella.

[Chapter 114]

The next day, Tie Hongyan and her men were in Aoqian Hall, looking at the things they had taken back from Ao Gong. When she and Wu Xunsheng saw each other, they acted as if nothing had happened, and the other men could not tell that she and he were any different from usual.

Tie Hongyan spread the painting drawn by Ao Gong on the table and analyzed with everyone what kind of person the person in the painting might be based on his clothing and other aspects.

Since Wu Xunsheng was not standing directly facing the painting, he did not notice anything at first and did not say much. But when he moved his position, changed his angle, and looked at the portrait from the front, he immediately exclaimed "Huh" involuntarily.

Tie Hongyan asked: "What did you find?"

Wu Xunsheng said, "The person in this painting seems..." He felt that he should not speak carelessly, so he thought about it halfway through and said, "Let me take another look."

Tie Hongyan said: "Just say whatever comes to mind."

Wu Xunsheng looked at the words again and felt that they were more similar, but he was still unsure. He said, "It seems that I can't say anything nonsense now. Let me recall it again."

Tie Hongyan felt that he thought the person in the painting looked like someone he had met, but it seemed inconvenient to say it publicly at the moment, so he thought it would be okay to ask him later.

Everyone analyzed it for a while and then dispersed. Tie Hongyan felt that the style of this painting was a bit similar to that of Tie Jinjue, so he took the painting to find Tie Jinjue.

She told him about her visit to Ao Gong and said, "After I saw his paintings, I felt that the style was somewhat familiar."

Tie Jinjue immediately understood what she meant and asked, "Do you think it feels a bit similar to what I drew?"

"Yeah, that's how I feel."

“I feel like it looks familiar myself.” Tie Jinjue said.

"That's why I asked him if he had ever learned to paint. He said that when he was a child, his mother painted, and he painted casually under his mother's guidance, but he didn't continue to learn. I asked his mother's name, and he said her name was Ao Xuanhe, but she had passed away." Tie Hongyan said.

When Tie Jinjue heard the name, he immediately repeated, "Ao Xuanhe?"

"Well. What? Has your uncle met her mother?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Tie Jinjue's thoughts seemed to quickly return to many years ago. He sighed, "Yes. It's been so many years..." Then, he clenched his fists and said to Tie Hongyan, "Hongyan, you must strengthen your confidence. You must always be a warrior, a tenacious warrior!"

Tie Hongyan knew from his performance that he must have recalled the past. She knew that whenever he recalled the past, he would sigh and his eyes would become more determined. When she saw his hopeful eyes, she would feel more powerful. She responded, "Uncle, I understand! Perhaps, a person who has experienced near despair will indeed become more determined after cheering up. At least I personally have had this feeling. I will continue to encourage myself and I will always be a warrior!"
