Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1273 (One Thousand Two Hundred and Seventy Three) Merit

When Tie Wandao asked Di Feng how the young clan leader's martial arts training went that day, Di Feng said it was surprisingly good, and told Tie Wandao the actual situation. He also said: "The young clan leader is like a different person today. I even doubt whether she is the same young clan leader as before!"

In addition to Di Feng, a guard from Ao Qian Temple also told Tie Wandao that morning that the young patriarch had become a different person. The day before, when Wu Xunsheng went to find Tie Hongyan to return the cloth bag she used to carry food, the guard heard Tie Hongyan say loudly, "I live here, this is my home, I like my home, and of course I will never run away again!" Tie Hongyan's loud words really reached Tie Wandao's ears through the guard.

Tie Wandao felt that Wu Xunsheng's contribution was too great, so he rewarded him handsomely that day and told him that if he had any requests, he could ask for them. Although Tie Hongyan's overall condition had something to do with Wu Xunsheng taking her to the wild to fly kites the day before, it was not Wu Xunsheng who made her start to learn martial arts seriously. Tie Wandao naturally didn't know what Tie Hongyan had experienced before, nor did he know about some of the things between her and Tie Jinjue, so he thought that Tie Hongyan suddenly started to learn martial arts well because of Wu Xunsheng, the sparring partner.

As the sun set, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng came to the field again. After chasing each other for a while, they sat on the path and talked while watching the setting sun.

As he was talking, he asked her, "Your name is Tie Hongyan, right?"

At this time, for the sake of that ideal, she had already adapted to the name Tie Hongyan, so she said without hesitation: "Yes."

He asked her why she told him her name was Ping Ming when they first met.

Tie Hongyan had never thought of telling others not to call her by her former name before. It was only when Wu Xunsheng suddenly asked her this question that it reminded her. So she told him that it was her former name, but he should not call her by that name in the future.

He was puzzled and asked her the reason.

She didn't know how to explain it to him, so she said to him, "It's because I'm no longer called that name. That name is not mine anymore. Even if you call me that name, you're not calling me. I only have one name, Tie Hongyan. There will only be this one name forever. Do you remember it?" She realized that the question of name seemed very important. After all, Pingming was the name she used to have when she was in the Blue Armor Tribe, so she was very serious when she said it.

He just said "Oh..." and thought the topic was about to end. However, at this time she said to him very seriously: "You have to promise me that you will never call me by my old name!" He felt that Tie Hongyan seemed to be making a fuss, but he still agreed to her.

She pressed, "What if you call me by that name in the future?"

He casually said that if he called you that name, he would be a puppy, and asked her, "Okay?"

She said no, and added that even if he said he was a puppy, he wouldn’t really turn into a puppy.

He said, "Then what do you say I am?"

She couldn't think of any way to stop him from calling her by her old name, so she asked him to say one and she would listen.

He half-jokingly said, "Are you going to force me to swear an oath? Just a name, no need?"

At this time, she didn't know the meaning of "swearing a poisonous oath", so she asked him what it meant.
