Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1709 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Nine) Lifespan
"If Hong Yan didn't know that turning her into a 'non-natural' person with soul-purifying energy would reduce my life span by one month, could this operation be carried out smoothly?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

Tie Jinjue wrote on a piece of paper to tell Wu Xunsheng that the operation could proceed smoothly regardless of whether Tie Hongyan knew this or not.

Wu Xunsheng suddenly said, "There is something I want to ask Elder Tie."

Tie Jinjue wrote something on the paper and told Wu Xunsheng to speak freely.

"Since taking this action does not require Hong Yan to know that my life span will be shortened by one month, I would like to ask Elder Tie not to tell Hong Yan that my life span will be shortened by one month." Wu Xunsheng said.

Tie Jinjue had thought before not telling Tie Hongyan that Wu Xunsheng's life span would be shortened by one month in the process of turning her into a person with soul-purifying energy before the two of them took action. However, Wu Xunsheng took the initiative to suggest not to let her know that his life span would be shortened by one month, which was really beyond Tie Jinjue's expectations.

Tie Jinjue wrote to Wu Xunsheng and told him that he promised Wu Xunsheng that before the action was carried out, he would not tell Tie Hongyan that this action would shorten Wu Xunsheng's life by one month.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xunsheng said, "Thank you, Elder Tie, for promising me that you would not tell Hong Yan before the operation. Can Elder Tie promise me that you will not tell Hong Yan during or after the operation?"

Tie Jinjue was stunned. He thought: Not telling her before the operation was to ensure that things could proceed as quickly as possible. Not telling her during the operation was also to ensure that things went smoothly. But, not telling her after the operation? Did he not want her to feel uncomfortable after knowing it? Then would he bury this matter in his heart forever?
Tie Jinjue wrote something on the paper and asked Wu Xunsheng if he should never tell her again.

Wu Xunsheng nodded and said, "Yes, I hope Elder Tie will never tell Hong Yan! Hong Yan is a person who is unwilling to trouble others to do something for her even when she was injured and lying in bed in unbearable pain. She will feel burdened when others do something for her. If she knew that I reduced her life by one month in order to eliminate the danger for her this time, she would definitely feel a heavy burden. If she knew, this burden would always follow her. I just want to help her eliminate the crisis, but I really don't want her to carry this burden in the future because of eliminating the crisis for her. I hope Elder Tie can agree to me."

Tie Jinjue was deeply touched when he heard Wu Xunsheng say this. He thought: I really didn't expect that his feelings for her were so deep! He was willing to sacrifice one month of his life to help her eliminate the crisis. In order not to burden her, he was willing to do it silently without letting her know. If there is no miracle, he can only live for another year at most. During this year, he may die at any time. What does this one month of life mean to him? ! Just now, after I told him that the life span of those who cooperated would be reduced by one month, I asked him if he agreed to it. He told me so firmly that of course he agreed, as if as long as he could help her, that one month of life was nothing to him. This really shocked me! I originally wanted to take the initiative to ask him if he could not tell Hongyan that his life span would be reduced by one month before taking action. After he took the initiative to ask me not to tell her, I felt a little guilty for having such thoughts before.
