Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1968 Observation

Quan Chumeng thought to himself: Fortunately I found out through the ritual before, otherwise I would have a hard time explaining this to Elder Nie.

Nie Huihou thought: It’s really worth letting him stay here, he actually knows it!

Nie Huihou asked, "During the time you were in the underground room, did an alchemist really go to the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion to make predictions? Was it just a coincidence?"

"Yes, Elder Nie. There really are, and there should be multiple alchemists." Quan Chumeng said.

"How do you know there are multiple alchemists?" Nie Huihou continued to ask.

"Because I feel that the Qixing Zuiren Pavilion seems to have been tested many times, and the spells used by the testers each time seem to be different." Quan Chumeng said.

"How do you know that it's not the same alchemist using different methods to measure?" Nie Huihou asked.

Quan Chumeng said, "I have considered this possibility, but I learned from the ritual that the 'Qi Fa Sensation' formed there is obviously different every time the tester tests it. If it is the same Taoist who performs the ritual, even if different methods of magic are used to test it, the 'Qi Fa Sensation' formed there should not be obviously different."

Nie Huihou said: "It seems that the clan leader may have asked a Taoist priest to do the divination."

"I think so too," said Quan Chumeng.

The two talked for a few more words and then left the basement.

[Chapter 213]

Two days later, Wu Xunsheng returned to Aoqian Palace from outside and entered the inner quarters. The person who had been in the inner quarters with Tie Hongyan before went to the reception hall.

Tie Hongyan was sitting on the bed at that time.

After Wu Xunsheng locked the door, he asked Tie Hongyan: "How is your health? Do you feel okay now?" Tie Hongyan nodded.

After the two exchanged a few more words, Wu Xunsheng suddenly lowered his voice and said to Tie Hongyan: "I'll tell you something."

Tie Hongyan was very curious about what it was about. She could tell from Wu Xunsheng's expression that he was going to tell her something very important. So she thought that she might have to communicate a lot with Wu Xunsheng next, so she gestured to Wu Xunsheng to hand her the writing tool.

After Wu Xunsheng gave her the writing supplies, he said to her, "I just saw Hou Xueyan on the road, and he seemed to be acting suspiciously. He looked left and right every few steps, and I don't know what he was observing. I looked at him from behind, and it seemed like he was observing if there was anyone around who knew him."

Tie Hongyan felt curious, frowned, nodded, and looked at him, meaning that he should continue speaking.

Wu Xunsheng said: "Then I followed him for a while and found that he walked to a place and stopped."

Tie Hongyan continued to look at him with curiosity, as if asking him: "Where did you stop?"

Wu Xunsheng continued, "The place where he stood was just right for him to see the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion."

Tie Hongyan frowned even more tightly as he thought.

Wu Xunsheng said: "Hong Yan, did you know that he actually stared at the Qixing Zui Renting for a long time in that place!"

Tie Hongyan asked Wu Xunsheng and Hou Xueyan by writing and did not do anything else.

Wu Xunsheng said, "I was just about to tell you. After staring at him for a while, he actually started to do strange things. He first put his hands behind his back, then put them in front of him, then stretched his arms to the sides, and then sat down again. I was far away, and actually wanted to get closer to see more clearly, but if I got any closer, he would easily notice me, so I didn't move on."
