Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 873 (Eight Hundred and Seventy-Three) Becoming a Demon

"Just let you join him in threatening me?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes, that's the way to help." Jian Liang said.

"But if this is all you have, how can you threaten me?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Elder Nie discovered that Hua Mizhen was carrying a letter, and that letter was related to the Acting Clan Leader."

"What letter?"

"It was a letter written to her by someone else. That person called her 'Sister Hua'. This became important evidence for what Elder Nie said, 'She is Hua Mizhen.'" Jian Liang said.

"Ah? 'Sister Hua'? How is that possible?"

"This is what Elder Nie wants to threaten you with. He thinks..." Jian Liang paused, then slowed down his speech and said, "He thinks Hua Mizhen was not really killed by you."

Tie Hongyan smiled helplessly: "Elder Nie's idea is too strange, you saw me kill her with your own eyes that day, right?"

"Yes, I saw it clearly. But Elder Nie thinks that the reason you can lead your troops to defeat the Guishi monster on the battlefield may be because you are different from humans, or even... you are different from humans." Jian Liang said.

Tie Hongyan said, "Could it be that Elder Nie has mistaken my identity for that of a demon?"

Jian Liang said: "He had this intention at the time. He even...even told me...he said: 'Perhaps the acting clan leader has the nature of a demon. To put it more clearly, the acting clan leader may be a demon.'" Tie Hongyan smiled helplessly again and said: "Elder Nie...what is this...did Elder Nie really say this?"

"Yes, now that I am in this situation, it is impossible for me to lie to the acting clan leader, and it is even more impossible for me to spread rumors about the elders." Jian Liang said.

"Is he really not joking?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"He was very serious at the time, it wasn't a joke at all."

Tie Hongyan said: "This is simply ridiculous. Isn't it clear to Elder Nie whose child I am?"

"Yes! I told him at the time: 'The acting clan leader is the child of the clan leader and the clan leader, this is known to everyone. The clan leader and the clan leader are both human, how could the acting clan leader be a monster?' But after hearing this, Elder Nie said to me: 'Do you remember how old the acting clan leader was when she returned to Tiecangting?' I said: 'What does it matter how old she is when she returns to Tiecangting? No matter what, she is the child of the clan leader and the clan leader, how could she be a monster?' However, Elder Nie said: 'Have you ever thought about what she experienced before returning to Tiecangting, whether she had encountered monsters, and whether she became a monster for any special reason?'" Jian Liang said.

"Ah? What's wrong with Elder Nie? How could he think like this?" Tie Hongyan was very surprised.

"After listening to him, I couldn't understand what he was thinking, so I said to him, 'How is it possible?' He actually said, 'Why not? Is there any way to prove that there is no such possibility?' I said, 'Even if it can't be proved, most people would find it outrageous if they just think about it.' What Elder Nie said next was even more shocking." Jian Liang said.

"What did you say?"

"He actually said that since it cannot be proved that it is impossible, then we can say that there is such a possibility. Even if it is really said that way, others cannot provide evidence to refute it, and this can be used to threaten you. He wants to tell you that if you are unwilling to give Nie Yangwei a light punishment, he will tell this matter to others." Jian Liang said.
