Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1978 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy Eight) Clouds of Sadness

Tie Jinjue said: "Even if Hou Xueyan didn't do what he wanted to do this time..." Tie Jinjue didn't finish his words because he didn't want what he was thinking to be true. He was a little worried that it would be unlucky if he said it all. Although he didn't really think that saying it out loud would affect the development of things, he subconsciously became cautious at that moment because he was thinking about something that Tie Hongyan didn't know.

Tie Hongyan immediately said: "Well, I understand what my uncle means. After all, for some things, as long as you have the intention, failing to accomplish it once does not mean giving up completely." She saw the uneasiness in Tie Jinjue's brows, so she didn't explain it too clearly.

"You really understand." Tie Jinjue let out a long sigh and said with a serious expression.

Tie Hongyan did not want to add to Tie Jinjue's anxiety, so he just said, "However, there are some things that you cannot do even if you are willing to do them. You cannot do it once, twice, or every time. It is simply impossible to do it. What's the point of having the intention?"

Tie Jinjue said: "I hope it's as you said. I hope that Hou Xueyan will never do this again after he leaves, because he knows it's impossible to do it."

Tie Hongyan said: "Uncle, just think like this first, then you don't have to be so worried."

Tie Jinjue hummed, but there was still something in his heart that Tie Hongyan didn't know, and he still couldn't dispel the cloud of sorrow.

Tie Jinjue asked Tie Hongyan: "And then Hou Xueyan went back?"

Tie Hongyan replied: "Wu Xunsheng told me that Hou Xueyan later took another path back, which was a long way around."

Tie Jinjue asked, "Take a longer route? Did Wu Xunsheng tell him why he thought Hou Xueyan didn't take the same route as he did here?"

Tie Hongyan said, "It's like this. Wu Xunsheng was talking about the path that he took when he came here, which led to the location where the Seven-Star Zuiren Pavilion could be seen. Hou Xueyan walked back from another path. Wu Xunsheng followed Hou Xueyan for a while, and later Hou Xueyan still walked on the main road he took when he came here, but he just didn't take that section of the path. I wrote some words to ask Wu Xunsheng at the time. He thought that Hou Xueyan took a long detour because he wanted to prevent others from discovering anything, or because he wanted to do something related to magic on the way. Wu Xunsheng said that he didn't see it in this regard. I asked Wu Xunsheng if he thought Hou Xueyan might be performing magic on the way back. Wu Xunsheng said that at the time, he saw that Hou Xueyan didn't seem to have any obvious movements, and it didn't seem like he was performing magic. He also said that if Hou Xueyan was secretly performing magic by silently reciting spells, it would be hard to say."

Tie Jinjue said in a low voice: "I hope he didn't do it secretly. He's already on his way back. If he's still doing it secretly, could it be that he hasn't given up on doing what he wants to do?"

Tie Hongyan said: "Actually... not necessarily. Even if he did it secretly, he might just be trying to understand the situation in that area. What if after understanding it, he is sure that he can't do what he wants to do? Then he won't do anything anymore."

"You said this to make me think positively, right?" Tie Jinjue said.

"Yes." Tie Hongyan said, "Although I don't know the actual situation, the situation I mentioned is not impossible to happen." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue hummed again and said, "I should think positively."
