Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 888 (Eight Hundred and Eighty-Eight) Asked

After hearing this, Tie Hongyan immediately thought of what Jian Rou had said to her: "In fact, when I do something, even I hate myself for doing that. A long time ago, I felt like I was trapped in a cage. I know some things. Whenever I feel that I can't breathe, I think about those things and tell myself that this cage is only temporarily trapping me, and one day I will be able to get out. But...but I don't know if I will suffocate to death before leaving the cage." Then she thought of what Jian Liang had said to Tian Wen before: "From now on, Dad will never force you and Jian Rou to do things you don't like like before." She understood it all at once and thought: So that's it, no wonder...

Tie Hongyan said: "It will take a long time to let the child become the future leader of the Tiecang tribe! Is there no other way besides this?"

Jian Liang sighed and said, "If we could find other ways, we wouldn't want to drag it out for so long. To be honest, she and I have thought of all the ways we can think of, and we have tried all the ways we can try. Since I believe in the acting clan leader, I have told you so much, and I am not afraid of letting you know something even more bizarre. At that time, we even thought about becoming clan leaders or clan heroes ourselves, which sounded like a pipe dream. We had already exhausted all our thoughts. However, reality is reality, there are always various obstacles, and many things can only be imagined, and cannot be done at all! In fact, at that time, we did things with principles and bottom lines, and we would never try things like murder and arson."

Tie Hongyan asked: "Have you tried to let the clan leader or clan leader know that the alchemist is trapped in the ice and ask them to help you?"

"I asked someone to ask the current chief of the Tiecang tribe for me..." Jian Liang still had some concerns when he said this, so he said, "Acting chief, it's not that I can't tell you about the general situation at that time, but...but I don't know if you will tell the chief in the future. If the chief knows that I mentioned his past to you, it will affect his mood. I don't want the chief to be unhappy because of me."

"Oh? If he knew, would he be unhappy?" Tie Hongyan said as she thought about the meaning of Jian Liang's words, imagining what her father might have been like when he was asked about it.

"Actually... not necessarily. But... but after all, I asked someone else to help me ask back then, and the clan leader didn't know that I was the one asking questions, so... so if he knew about this in this way, it wouldn't be good no matter how you look at it. No matter how magnanimous a person is, if he learns something from someone else, he might... be unhappy..." Jian Liang said.

Tie Hongyan asked, "Did the person who asked the question tell the clan leader everything he wanted to say?"

"I've told him everything. I believe him." Jian Liang said.

"When the patriarch was questioned, the questioner talked about the situation of the alchemists being trapped in solid ice, and also talked about the reason why they were trapped?" Tie Hongyan continued to ask.

"I've told you everything. I told him how to ask before." Jian Liang replied.

Tie Hongyan asked, "Who did Jian Geng ask to help you ask? Was it the clan leader's subordinate?"

Jian Liang was a little surprised when he heard this, and asked, "How did the Acting Clan Leader know this? Could it be that the Clan Leader had told the Acting Clan Leader about this before?"
