Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 981 Traces

"This is just in time. It's just in time for you to be able to see it." Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng asked: "Before I came in, except for the acting clan leader, no one else had entered this meeting room, right?"

Tie Hongyan said: "No."

Wu Xunsheng asked again: "This pot and this glass of water have never been moved anywhere else. They have always been on this cabinet?"

"Yes." Tie Hongyan said.

Wu Xunsheng then asked: "When the Acting Clan Leader poured the water today, was it the same as every time, without a single drop of water splashing out?"

Tie Hongyan said, "Yes. Once before, I played some tricks when pouring water, and you joked that I had amazing skills, didn't you? Today, I didn't play any tricks, I just poured it normally."

"Haha, that time when you were pouring water, not a drop of water splashed out. Your skills are really amazing. It's fun to use martial arts in this way." Wu Xunsheng said, "If you spilled it once today, this fish wouldn't have such a good life."

"What are you thinking about? You want the fish to be alive so much that you even assume that I spilled it once today." Tie Hongyan said. At this point, Tie Hongyan suddenly thought: Could it be that he asked these questions because he saw the piece of white paper on the table that was not completely dry?
"I think this fish is lucky. You are a person who never spills water." Wu Xunsheng said, "If it really spilled, would you quickly wipe it up?"

Tie Hongyan said: "It's possible. What do you want to say? Just say it."

Wu Xunsheng felt that she seemed to have heard something, so he didn't want to hide it anymore and asked, "There is no cloth in this room at the moment. If water is spilled, will you use writing paper to wipe it dry?" Tie Hongyan replied, "If you want to wipe it dry immediately, of course you can use whatever is convenient to absorb it."

Wu Xunsheng mustered up his courage, pointed at the piece of white paper on the table and said, "There was only the acting clan leader in the room before. This pot and this cup of water have been on the cabinet without moving, and the water has not splashed out, so there is no need to use anything to wipe it. I looked around the room and there was nothing else to hold water, but the piece of white paper was not dry yet..." Although he had mustered up his courage before, when he got to this point, he still didn't know what to say next, so he didn't continue immediately.

Tie Hongyan didn't respond, but just looked at him, waiting for him to finish his words.

Wu Xunsheng finally asked: "Acting Patriarch, please forgive me for asking you directly, what happened to you? Why... are you crying here alone?"

Tie Hongyan did not answer directly, but asked: "Why did you say I cried?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "It's obvious...the paper is not dry yet."

Tie Hongyan said: "So you are sure that the paper absorbed tears? Why don't you think that I washed my hands outside and came in, pressed the paper with my hands, and dried my hands?"

Wu Xunsheng said: "If the Acting Chieftain had not cried before, there would be no trace of crying in his eyes. Of course, I would not be sure just because the paper was not completely dry, so I have been observing the Acting Chieftain carefully just now."

Although Tie Hongyan didn't want him to know that she had cried before, she had never denied that she had cried since he entered the meeting room. She knew very well that if he was sure that she had cried but she still denied it, it would only make things worse. At this moment, she felt that she might have really cried and he could see it.
