Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3376 (Three Thousand Three Hundred and Seventy Six)

Tie Wandao had long been dissatisfied with the unexpected circumstances that had arisen from the plan, but there was nothing he could do.

Tie Hongyan burst into tears and asked, "How could this happen? Master Ning, did you see something wrong?"

"Young Patriarch, I was definitely not wrong!" Ning Duanye said, "It was precisely because I saw this that I did what I did later."

Tie Hongyan immediately asked: "How can we change this situation?"

Ning Duanye shook his head.

"Will a miracle happen?" Tie Hongyan asked with tears in his eyes.

Ning Duanye knew that in fact all kinds of unpredictable miracles would happen in the world. As a Taoist priest, his master had once told him that he should not make absolute statements.

Ning Duanye reflected on himself and felt that it was not rigorous for him to have not mentioned anything about the miracle before. Although he thought the possibility of a miracle happening was so low that it did not need to be mentioned, he remembered the rigorous attitude his master had mentioned before and thought it would have been better if he had mentioned it before.

So he quickly added: "Miracles can happen in many things. If I was being precise just now, I should have said that if no miracle happened, Shao Zuying would have less than eleven months to live from a certain day before, and he could die at any time."

After Ning Duanye added this sentence, Tie Hongyan realized that Ning Duanye just didn't mention the miracle. However, her mood didn't get better. She remembered that Tie Jinjue had told her that he asked the Taoist priest if a miracle would happen. The Taoist priest said that it was hard to say for sure, but the possibility was very small. Of course, she also remembered that Tie Jinjue showed him the painting and Tie Jinjue's words "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, you can't give up hope." She has always hoped that a miracle can happen, and she still thinks so at this moment.

Tie Hongyan wiped the tears from her face and asked, "A miracle will definitely happen, right?" Ning Duanye felt it was really hard to answer, so she said, "I hope so..."

"Why did this happen to Shao Zuying?" Tie Hongyan asked.

When Tie Wandao heard Tie Hongyan ask this question, he didn't know how Ning Duanye would answer. He was very worried about exposing the matter related to the "Sobering Tank Project", so he glared at Ning Duanye and said to Tie Hongyan: "I think it's all because of his method that went wrong!"

Ning Duanye quickly shook his head and said, "Patriarch, absolutely not! My magic has not affected Shao Zuying's physical condition! If you don't believe me, you can find other alchemists to prove that Shao Zuying was like this before!"

Tie Wandao said: "If it really wasn't you who caused it, then what did you just say 'it wasn't me'? Isn't that just an attempt to cover up something?"

Tie Hongyan had heard about Wu Xunsheng's lifespan a long time ago, and wanted to say something for Ning Duanye so that Tie Wandao would not think that Ning Duanye was responsible for the incident, but she couldn't understand why there was a month missing, and she felt that if there were any flaws in her words, it would make Tie Wandao doubt whether he had known about Wu Xunsheng's lifespan a long time ago. She had never discussed this with Tie Wandao before, and she didn't want Tie Wandao to know what she had known before, so she didn't say anything immediately.

Ning Duanye said: "I added that sentence because I was worried that I would be wrongly accused."

"Before anyone says you did something, you come out and deny it. Who wronged you?" Tie Wandao asked, "Do you know what it means to confess without being asked?"
