Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 922: Bird

Wu Xunsheng wanted to say that he had overlooked the fact that she was also deceived when he said it before, but after hearing her say that, he didn’t want to bring it up again, so he said, “Of course I believe you.” He felt that he had been too eager to express his feelings after being deceived before, so he wanted to dilute the emotions he had shown before by expressing another thought in his heart, so he said, “Although being deceived is really not a good feeling, but… but, I don’t know why, today in the Guishen Palace, I felt…”

He didn't know how to continue, so he stopped for a moment.

"Say half of it again." Tie Hongyan said.

"I'm not speaking for the people who deceived me, nor do I mean to plead for anyone. I just want to say something that I feel. Of course, this... may very well... be very different from the facts." Wu Xunsheng said.

"I understand, just finish your speech." Tie Hongyan said.

"Today in the Regulations and Trials Hall, when I looked at Officer Jian Geng's expression... I actually felt that he seemed to be hiding some big secret in his heart, as if... it made people feel that certain things he did were related to that big secret, and he was helpless. After seeing Elder Tian's expression, this feeling seemed to be even stronger." Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan said: "You are really kind."

"I just expressed my feelings." Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan said: "This is enough to prove that you are kind. Some people will never be like you. If they are deceived, they will not say it even if they clearly feel this way."

"I told you whatever I thought of. It's safe to tell you what's in my heart. I trust you." Wu Xunsheng said, "Of course, my feelings about them may be wrong."

Tie Hongyan said: "Your feeling is correct."

"Oh? You were talking to Jian Geng just now, and he told you the secret? Then I will get rid of the emotion of being deceived, I want to let it go." Wu Xunsheng said. At this point, he felt that he was a little too talkative, thinking that since it was a secret, he should not ask, so he immediately said: "Oh, Acting Chief, you don't have to answer my question, let alone tell me what secrets there are. I can't ask what I shouldn't ask." At this time, a very beautiful bird happened to fly in front of him. In order to quickly change the subject, he suddenly pointed at the bird and said: "Acting Chief, look, how beautiful it is!"

Although there was no one else on the road they walked after coming out of the wild, for safety reasons, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng kept their voices very low, so low that only the two of them could hear. However, when Wu Xunsheng saw the bird, he thought it didn't matter who heard what he was going to say next, so in order to quickly divert Tie Hongyan's attention, he said, "Look, Chief Dai, how beautiful it is!" His voice suddenly became louder.

Tie Hongyan looked at the bird and said in a low voice, "It's really beautiful!" She knew that Wu Xunsheng might want to change the subject, so she didn't continue talking about that topic. Looking at the appearance of the bird, she felt that it seemed to be a bird called "Li Fu Yu" that Yu Moming had mentioned before.

Wu Xunsheng then realized that his sudden loud voice was too abrupt, so he said in a very low voice: "The flying posture of this bird gives people a feeling of freedom. This...is this..."
