Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1268 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Sixty-Eight)

Although Tie Hongyan knew a lot of things and could always answer questions to Tie Wandao's satisfaction, she was still in a depressed state. Except when Tie Jinjue took her out of Ao Qian Palace, she always stayed in her room and spoke little. Although the situation was gradually getting better, she was still depressed until the last day of the month that Tie Wandao had agreed to meet her.

It was in this state that she met Wu Xunsheng, who came to serve as his sparring partner.

At that time, Tie Wandao told Wu Xunsheng that his task today was to make the young patriarch feel better, and she would start practicing martial arts from the next day. He also told him that she didn't like practicing martial arts, and if she was in a bad mood, she didn't know what she would do.

In fact, Tie Hongyan's attitude towards martial arts had already changed at that time, but Tie Wandao had no time to visit her those days and did not know that her attitude was different from before.

After hearing this, Wu Xunsheng remembered the little girl he met before who called herself Pingming. He was curious why he always met children who didn't like to learn martial arts. Then he learned from Tie Wandao that the young patriarch was called Tie Hongyan.

When Tie Hongyan was brought to Bakong Palace by Tie Wandao's men to meet Wu Xunsheng, Wu Xunsheng recognized her at first sight as the child he met that day who gave him food, but he didn't understand why Tie Wandao told him her name was Tie Hongyan, but she herself said her name was Pingming.

On the day when Wu Bu set the fire, Tie Hongyan took advantage of the fire to escape from Tiecangting with food and met Wu Xunsheng. At that time, she told him that her name was Pingming, mainly because she had always used the name Pingming when she lived in the Lanjia tribe, and she believed that this was her real name.

When the two met, Tie Hongyan didn't expect that the sparring partner her father found for her was actually the kid she had met before. Although she was a little surprised, she was still very depressed at the time and just said in a steady tone: "It's you..."

Tie Wandao asked about their previous meeting, and Tie Hongyan always answered with very few words. Wu Xunsheng behaved respectfully and told Tie Wandao that the young patriarch saved him that time.

Tie Wandao was secretly delighted after hearing this, thinking that Wu Xunsheng remembered that Tie Hongyan had saved him, so this sparring partner would probably treat Tie Hongyan well in the future.

Tie Wandao assigned a task to Dong Su, and Wu Xunsheng waited. He saw that Tie Hongyan was different from the first time he saw her. Although Tie Hongyan was unhappy last time, her eyes were lively, but this time she was staring blankly in one direction, as if she was stimulated by something.

After leaving the place, Tie Wandao went to the meeting room.

Dong Su asked Wu Xunsheng to think about what he needed so that he could prepare, and Wu Xunsheng told him.

As Tie Wandao instructed, Dong Su took the two children to the outside of Bakong Palace and asked them to sit on the stone bench and wait while he went to prepare things.

Tie Hongyan still didn't say a word. Wu Xunsheng told her that the cloth bag she used to pack her food in was left with him, and he would take it out and return it to her when he returned to the room. She said "No thanks", her face still gloomy. He said something else, but she didn't say anything. She was immersed in her own world and didn't hear clearly what he said. He mentioned that he ate all her food last time and asked her if she was still angry with him. She said "Huh?" and came back to her senses, saying "No." Wu Xunsheng asked why she was unhappy and if he could help her. Tie Hongyan shook her head and said, "No."
