Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1736 Majesty

Hou Jizhuan immediately said to Tie Hongyan: "Young Patriarch, I didn't say that."

Tie Hongyan looked at Tie Wandao and said, "Dad, the Taoist priest Hou you found said that he didn't say that."

Tie Wandao was not surprised by Hou Jizhuan's reaction.

Tie Wandao said to Hou Jizhuan, "I know you are afraid of her and you don't dare to say it, right? I haven't put down the whip in my hand yet, aren't you afraid of me?"

"Chief, I didn't say anything like that in the gray house just now. I was worried that you would misunderstand the young chief, and I wanted to explain to you, but the chief told me to shut up and whipped me, so I couldn't continue speaking." Hou Jizhu said.

Tie Wandao's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said, "You mean, you blame me?"

"No, of course I'm not blaming the clan leader. I'm just saying that I didn't say that the problem inside the gray house was related to the young clan leader touching the invisible curtain." Hou Jizhuan said.

"When I asked you a question before, did you nod?" Tie Wandao asked.

Hou Jizhuan said: "When I heard that it was the clan leader who said that, I didn't dare to refute it. I just felt that it was impossible for a small Taoist priest like me to casually deny what the clan leader said, so I nodded without thinking too much. But when I realized that I really shouldn't nod, I shook my head again."

"Before I asked you to think about whether there was anything unexpected that happened and then tell me. What did you say next?" Tie Wandao asked, "You don't forget it, do you?"

"Remember, remember." Hou Jizhu said.

"What did you say at that time?" Tie Wandao asked, "Say it again now!"

Hou Jizhuan's heart was still beating fast. He glanced at Tie Hongyan and said in a low voice, "I did say at the time... there was nothing unexpected except that someone touched the invisible curtain... but..." Tie Wandao interrupted Hou Jizhuan and shouted, "'But' what 'but'?! You didn't say but at the time!"

"I really wanted to explain to the clan leader later, but I never found the opportunity." Hou Jizhu said.

"So the young patriarch is such a scary person in your heart. It seems that she is much more majestic than me, right? As soon as you saw her, you were different from before. Now I am in front of you, but you are not afraid of me at all!" Tie Wandao said.

Hou Jizhuan said, "Patriarch, I was intimidated by your majesty and was too afraid of you in the gray house before, so I didn't speak clearly. However, no matter how afraid I am of you, I can't wrongly accuse the young patriarch."

Tie Hongyan listened to their conversation and observed their expressions, but did not speak immediately.

Tie Wandao suppressed his anger and said, "Let me ask you, do you remember who touched the invisible curtain the day before yesterday? Don't tell me that you can't remember it as soon as you saw the young patriarch, the person you are afraid of!" As Tie Wandao spoke, he played with the whip in his hand, as if to remind Hou Jizhuan that if he didn't explain clearly quickly, he might whip him again.

Hou Jizhuan said: "Remember, remember, I will remember it."

"Then tell me, who touched the invisible curtain?" Tie Wandao raised his eyebrows and asked.

Hou Jizhuan said, "It's the young patriarch."

Tie Wandao looked at Tie Hongyan and said, "You heard it!"

Tie Hongyan acted as if nothing had happened and said, "I heard it. He was right. It was me who touched the invisible curtain."
