Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 700 (Seven Hundred) Forbidden Book
Hearing this, Tie Hongyan suddenly remembered what she and You Xiangming heard an adult say to a child on the way back: "You are uneducated and uninformed, so how are you different from a blue-armored man?" However, before she had time to think about it, her thoughts were interrupted by the voice of another blue-armored man.

I heard another blue-armored man continue what the blue-armored man said: "That's right, they first blocked our way to gain knowledge, and then said we were ignorant. Once someone accidentally became a 'slippery fish' under their control and got a chance to gain knowledge, they would convict and kill him! They obviously don't regard us as human beings! How can someone who doesn't regard us as human beings believe what we say? How can they not believe what their own people in Tiecang say in front of us just because of what we say?"

Ran Xianke immediately said, "Did you hear that, Chief? Don't be fooled! They are obviously trying to provoke us with words. These lowly blue-armored people are trying to sow discord!"

Tie Hongyan did not respond to the two blue-armored men's words, but asked Ran Xianke: "What crime did these two ridiculous blue-armored men commit to deserve such punishment?"

Seeing her reaction like this, Ran Xianke's previous nervousness eased a little, and he replied, "I read the book that is forbidden for people in blue armor to read."

Tie Hongyan asked: "What book?"

Ran Xianke replied: "That book... the name is quite long, sorry I don't remember it clearly. I haven't seen the book either, but I heard that the content is probably about anti-slavery, independent thinking, being your own master, etc. Anyway, it is definitely not a book suitable for the Blue Armor people to read. For them, it is an absolute forbidden book. Reading it is a capital crime."

"In that case, what she said just now, 'Just reading a book is a crime', is referring to this matter?" Tie Hongyan said.

Ran Xianke said, "It should be. But the acting clan leader won't take what they say seriously, right?"

Tie Hongyan whispered to Ran Xianke: "What she said about reading a book is actually true!"

Ran Xianke's nervousness rose again, and he said, "The blue-armored criminals who are about to die, that means their cause of death might be true... the rest... the rest can't be believed at all!"

Tie Hongyan smiled with disdain and said, "Interesting, I just said that. Do you think that a few last words from a ridiculous blue-armored criminal before his death can influence my thoughts? Then I really need to quickly read the book that blue-armored people cannot read and learn to think independently."

Ran Xianke felt a little relieved again, but felt that his previous words had underestimated her, so he immediately explained: "Of course I know that the acting clan leader will not be fooled by those two blue-armored criminals. I just... said that, that's all."

Tie Hongyan said to Ran Xianke, "You really think it's difficult to deal with the blue-armored people, right?"

Ran Xianke became nervous again when she asked him this, and said quickly: "I... I don't think it's disgusting to deal with the blue-armored people. I really don't! I feel very honored... honored that the clan leader has given me this task! Those were all rumors spread by the blue-armored criminals just now!"

Tie Hongyan sneered, "I didn't say you felt 'disgusted'. Do you still think I believed what they said?"

Ran Xianke said: "I...of course I think the acting clan leader won't believe it!"
