Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1157: Proportion

After hearing what she said, Tie Jinjue felt more guilty, but also more at ease. "In fact, I just overdid it. You said you won't lose your way, so you really don't need to look for the reason in yourself. I must have misunderstood you because I was sensitive to potential dangers. Even if you really have feelings for someone, you know what you can do and what you absolutely can't do. For people in your position, it is easiest not to have deep feelings for people who are not on the same path, even if it is just a relationship between friends. If you already have deep feelings, I believe you will handle it now. If you can downplay it, you will naturally downplay it. If you can't downplay it, you won't do anything that is dangerous to the overall situation because of personal feelings. Besides, the situation is different now. You and Wu Xunsheng have held an alliance ceremony. If you don't have a good relationship with him, the state you show in front of outsiders may seem unnatural, and it may be easy to expose something, which may not be a good thing for you or even for the overall situation. You are no longer the child you were back then. You have your own way of dealing with things and you can handle things yourself. What I should do is believe in you. As someone who is doing great things with you, I must believe in you."

"I will know how to handle the situation well." Tie Hongyan said, "Uncle, since we trust each other as before, I want to ask you a question. How did you come up with the idea of ​​luring my left thumb closer to the top of the jade by telling me that you were going to save Wu Xunsheng's life?"

"Because I know you are thinking about things related to him. Wu Xunsheng's physical condition must have had an impact on you." Tie Jinjue said.

"Uncle, did you receive any hints before you came up with this idea?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Hint?" Tie Jinjue said.

Tie Hongyan said: "I don't know how to ask it. Anyway, it was my uncle who came up with it himself, right?"

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "By the way, I also want to ask you a question. We trust each other, can you tell me directly?"

"What's the problem? Uncle, just tell me directly." Tie Hongyan said, "I will tell you directly."

"Last time you told me that Wu Xunsheng said those strange things to you, and I felt like he already knew something. Later, he didn't talk to you about anything related to your secret, right?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I have mentioned that." Tie Hongyan told the truth.

"Ah?!" Tie Jinjue said, "He really did say that. What did he say? Could he be trying to get you to tell him your secret?"

"We talked about some things yesterday, and then he mentioned something that Master Qin said to us many years ago. Master Qin said at the time: 'If a person locks his heart and does not show what he is thinking, it will be difficult for others to know the secrets in that person's heart.' Wu Xunsheng said, in some ways, I really have always kept my heart locked. Later, Wu Xunsheng asked me, if I opened my heart to him, I could retain the setting sun yesterday and the sky would not be dark, would I open my heart to him?" Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue sensed danger again: "What?! He told you so clearly? Then... why do you want to keep the setting sun, why do you want to prevent the sky from getting dark? What exactly does he mean by this?"
