Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1681 (One Thousand Six Hundred and Eighty-One) Shrouded

Wu Xunsheng said: "I must be vigilant. You seem to trust Elder Tie very much?"

Tie Hongyan nodded.

Wu Xunsheng asked: "Aren't you worried that Elder Tie has other intentions?"

Tie Hongyan shook his head firmly.

"Do you know Elder Tie well?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Tie Hongyan nodded.

"Did you know this a long time ago?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Tie Hongyan nodded again.

Wu Xunsheng asked, "Do you think Elder Tie is reliable?"

Tie Hongyan nodded again.

"You have always been cautious. I think you must have your reasons for doing so." Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Hongyan told him through writing that he could actually trust Elder Tie.

As he was speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Tie Hongyan closed his left eye and blinked his right eye three times in a row.

Wu Xunsheng asked: "Is there anyone knocking on the door?"

Tie Hongyan nodded.

Wu Xunsheng opened the door.

Tie Jinjue entered the inner residence. He thought that Tie Hongyan must have something important to tell Wu Xunsheng. Although Wu Xunsheng couldn't hear what they said, he could see their expressions. Without knowing what Tie Hongyan, the young patriarch, wanted to say to him, the elder, he thought it would be better not to let Wu Xunsheng be present for the time being, so he said to Tie Hongyan, "I'll let him go to the guest hall first."

Tie Hongyan felt that Tie Jinjue must have his reasons for saying so, so he said, "Okay."

So Tie Jinjue wrote a letter to ask Wu Xunsheng to go to the guest hall first.

Wu Xunsheng said to Tie Hongyan: "I'm going to the guest hall first."

Tie Hongyan nodded. After Wu Xunsheng escaped from the inner residence, Tie Jinjue locked the door between the inner residence and the guest hall.

"What's the matter that makes you so anxious to talk to me about?" Tie Jinjue asked Tie Hongyan.

"My father came just now and said that the reason I went out yesterday was for the gray house." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue was shocked and thought: Regardless of whether the clan leader really thought she was going to the gray house, the clan leader had already figured out that she was not just out for fun yesterday, which was very troublesome! Does this prove that the clan leader already suspected her?
Tie Jinjue asked: "Why does the clan leader think so?"

Tie Hongyan said, "Uncle, do you remember that I was pushed out yesterday when I walked near the gray house?"

"Remember, why did it happen like that?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"Dad said that the gray house is usually covered by an invisible curtain. Anyone who goes to the gray house and wants to stop him from using the people imprisoned inside to achieve his goal will be pushed out when they touch the invisible curtain." Tie Hongyan replied.

"Invisible curtain?" Tie Jinjue frowned.

"Dad told me that it was formed by the magic of an alchemist." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue asked, "Did the clan leader ask the alchemist to perform the ritual?"

Tie Hongyan said: "Yes."

Tie Jinjue asked: "How did the Taoist know that the person who was ejected was you? Was he in that gray house at the time?"

Tie Hongyan said: "I don't know where the Taoist priest was at that time. My father said that the moment a person touches the invisible curtain, his or her entire image will be captured by the curtain, and the Taoist priest can see it through the curtain through magic."

Tie Jinjue said: "I wonder if the alchemist knew it at that time."

Tie Hongyan said: "My father said that the Taoist priest knew when I was pushed out by the invisible curtain."

"So, this invisible curtain can not only retain people's images, but also has the function of notification?" Tie Jinjue frowned and said, "The Taoist priest has to use magic to cover the gray house with an invisible curtain. It seems that the inside of the gray house... is not simple! That sound was made by a person, right? Although someone said yesterday that it sounded like the sound of a beast, I feel it is human."

Tie Hongyan said: "I learned from my father that they are human. My father does not regard them as human beings, he regards those people as 'human tools'. My father also said that they are semi-finished products now, and when they become finished products, they will be a group of beasts that can completely obey his orders."

Tie Jinjue asked, "Is the person in the gray house the one with the blue armor?"

"My father said yes." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue clenched his right fist, imagining what might happen in the gray house.
