Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2959 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Nine) Questioning

"What did the patriarch say next?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"My father asked me if I brought anything to write with when I came out. I said I did. He asked me to tell Wu Xunsheng what he told me by writing. So I wrote and told him." Tie Hongyan replied.

"What was the patriarch doing when you were writing?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"My father is asking Master Li some questions." Tie Hongyan said.

"What did you ask?" Tie Jinjue asked.

Tie Hongyan just told Tie Jinjue what he heard accidentally while writing, and then said: "I only heard these few sentences, and I didn't pay much attention to the others. I was writing at the time, and I thought my father would see how I wrote to Wu Xunsheng, so I wrote very seriously. I have no memory of some of what Li Fangshi said to my father."

"When the clan leader was talking to Li Fangshi, you must not have had time to pay attention to Li Fangshi's expression, right?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"Yes." Tie Hongyan said, "I didn't look at him. I occasionally heard his voice, and I felt that he was in a normal state, not stuttering."

Tie Jinjue asked again: "After you finished writing, did the clan leader really look at how you wrote it?"

"I really watched it." Tie Hongyan replied.

"Did he say anything?" Tie Jinjue asked again.

"He said that fortunately he didn't forget to write down the issue of rest that he emphasized, and he wrote it quite completely." Tie Hongyan replied.

"What about you?" Tie Jinjue asked. Tie Hongyan said, "I said that what he said was very important and I had to convey his meaning. He gave me the paper and asked me to show it to Wu Xunsheng. I agreed and gave it to Wu Xunsheng."

"Then what?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"Wu Xunsheng thanked the clan leader, and the clan leader said something else, and then let us leave the practice room." Tie Hongyan said.

"Did you notice Li Fangshi's behavior before he left the practice room?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I did take a look at him, but I didn't see anything abnormal about him," said Tie Hongyan.

"Then you all left?" Tie Jinjue asked again.

"Yes." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue frowned and thought for a moment, then he said to Tie Hongyan, "From this point of view, Li Fangshi's behavior is too weird. When he was in front of me before, although I could see that he seemed to be afraid of the clan leader, he was really not as weird as you said. I wonder if he encountered something later that made him like this."

Tie Hongyan said: "I feel like he must have encountered something later. Because when I saw him before, I didn't think he had such a strange behavior."

Tie Jinjue said, "In fact, if other alchemists were chanting spells or performing rituals on you in front of you, I wouldn't be that worried. After all, you are wearing the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone, and the alchemists' magic cannot have an adverse effect on your body. However, it's different for Li Fangshi. The Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone later acquired those additional functions as a result of his performing rituals on it. When you are wearing the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone, other alchemists' magic cannot have an adverse effect on your body, but it's hard to say whether Li Fangshi can do that."

Tie Hongyan said: "I understand what my uncle said. Although Li Fangshi seems strange, I can't think of any reason why he would do anything bad to me. I hope he won't do anything bad to me."
