Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1187: Destroying the Corpse

Although she was in pain, Tie Hongyan had never shed a tear before. But when she thought about Wu Xunsheng's life span, she became sad again and tears started to flow.

Thinking about the sobering tank, she suddenly thought that if Wu Xunsheng's body was in that state, it might be related to the sobering tank. She really didn't want this matter to have anything to do with Tie Wandao's intentions. She looked at Tie Wandao and said, "For face?"

"Of course! You still ask such a question!" Tie Wandao was looking away angrily. After saying this, he lowered his head and saw Tie Hongyan looking at him with tears in her eyes. Her expression was very similar to the way her mother Tie Jinqi once shed tears.

In a trance, he almost mistook the man on the ground with blood on the corners of his mouth and blood on his clothes as Tie Jinqi. His heart suddenly trembled and he felt some regret.

He wanted to find a doctor to treat her injuries immediately, but he felt that if the change was too sudden, not only would he lose face, but it might also arouse her suspicion. So he planned to say a few more words to her to save face without showing an obvious change in attitude.

"How did you make the sobering tank in your room?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Find someone to help...help me get it out." Tie Hongyan said.

"You made a new sobering tank to impersonate the original one. You deceived me like this and you really don't take me seriously at all." Tie Wandao said.

"If you don't take me seriously, then there's no need to repair it." Tie Hongyan said, "Dad, can I ask you, how were those two sobering tanks made?"

"Of course I asked someone to do it." Tie Wandao said.

"The person who made it...are there many people who know Tie Cang Ting?" Tie Hongyan asked. "Very few. Why are you asking so many questions? I haven't asked you yet, how did this sobering jar look the same as the original one?" Tie Wandao said, "It's obvious that it wasn't made by a human. Did they ask a Taoist priest to do it?"

"Dad...did you also ask a Taoist priest to make it?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I was asking you, but you asked me instead! Is it necessary to hire a sorcerer for the first time? This is your second time, and you used the same materials as the first time, but the result is the same as the first time. Either you used magic, or it must be a ghost! You are talking nonsense, are you trying to deceive me again? Do you admit that it was the sorcerer who made it?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Admit it." Tie Hongyan said, "I don't want to... lie to Dad. I just don't want to mention that stupid alchemist who I killed and whose body I destroyed." In order to prevent Tie Wandao from asking about the alchemist's personal situation and to protect Ni Yuan, she told Tie Wandao that she had killed the alchemist and whose body she had destroyed.

"Did you kill that alchemist?" Tie Wandao asked.

"Yes. The Taoist offended me and knew some things he shouldn't know. I don't want to... mention this person again." Tie Hongyan said.

While talking to Tie Wandao, she tried again, but felt pain, so she moved away and tried to get up with the help of something.

Seeing her like this, he immediately said, "We have been delayed for so long today because of this crap, it's really troublesome! I tell you, you can't let others know about what happened today! Look at your current state, it makes me annoyed, wait for me to find a doctor! Remember, except for the doctor who will be here soon, you are not allowed to let others know that you are injured. Even if you have to endure it, you must pretend that nothing is wrong. If you can't endure it, don't leave the room, otherwise you will see how I will teach you a lesson!"
