Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 889: No Rescue

"He never told me that. I just made a random guess based on what Jian Geng said just now. I don't know how I guessed it right." Tie Hongyan said, "Does the clan leader also know that the fact that the Taoist priest was trapped in the ice is related to you?"

"Yes, the patriarch doesn't know." Jian Liang said.

"Until now, the clan leader doesn't know about Elder Tian's mother and your mother?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes, the chief doesn't know. We have never told him, and before Elder Tian became the elder of the Tiecang tribe, I believe no one in the Tiecang court knows about what she and I experienced."

"I understand. You hid these situations before to prevent their purpose from being exposed, right?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yes, Acting Clan Leader. Actually... until now, I still don't want anyone except the Acting Clan Leader to know about those circumstances." Jian Liang said.

"Do you think I will tell anyone?" Tie Hongyan paid attention to Jian Liang's expression when he asked.

"Of course I can't control whether the Acting Clan Leader tells anyone or not, not to mention that I've already made a mistake. Besides, before I told you, you never promised me not to tell anyone else. If you told me that you wouldn't tell anyone, I absolutely believe that you wouldn't break your promise! Since I don't want other people to know, I'll just assume in my heart that others won't know. Even if I could use Hua Mizhen's matter as a handle to do something bad to you in public, I wouldn't do that. No matter what, the Acting Clan Leader is my daughter's savior, and I will remember this great favor in my heart." Jian Liang said.

Tie Hongyan looked at Jian Liang and felt that he was very sincere. He said, "Tell me about the clan leader's reaction at that time. Even if I want to ask him in the future, I won't mention you to him."

"The clan leader's probable reaction at that time... was... anyway, I knew later on that the clan leader would definitely not be able to help me." Jian Liang still didn't dare to say it too directly, "The clan leader has his own ideas... Everyone has different ideas and they can't be forced." "What Jian Gengyuan said means... that the clan leader's first reaction was not to save those alchemists?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Jian Liang nodded.

"You also learned about the clan leader's reaction from the person who asked for you, right?" Tie Hongyan continued to ask.

"Yes."

"It seems that Mr. Jian Geng believes what that person says very much." Tie Hongyan said.

"That's right, I believe it without a doubt. That person has never lied to me, and he will not lie this time. If I ask him to help me ask others some questions, he will even memorize the questions I ask him to ask and then ask them." Jian Liang said.

"Have you asked the clan leaders?"

"Many years ago, there was no clan hero. When the clan hero just appeared, something seemed to have happened in Tiecangting. During that time, we and the people we knew had no chance to contact the clan hero, and we couldn't even pass on messages. Later, the clan hero disappeared, so we still had no chance to ask. Many things are like this. They don't seem that difficult, but because of unpredictable reasons, there are many obstacles. It is impossible to take a very short route, so you can only take a long route that doesn't seem very realistic. Although it is a long way and the future is uncertain, you can only do your best, otherwise it will be so difficult that you won't even have a chance." Jian Liang said here, his eyes full of helplessness.
