Chapter 1897 (one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven) Doubt
Tie Hongyan asked: "I'm a little curious as to why the alchemist didn't remind dad about this. With dad's character, after he asked the alchemist to do the method, he probably didn't want others to see the gray light on his forehead. Could it be the alchemist? You know most people can’t see it, so you don’t care?”
Tie Jinjue said "hmm" and said, "It's possible."
"Or..." Tie Hongyan thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the alchemist was negligent, or there were other reasons why it was inconvenient to remind him."
Tie Jinjue asked: "What are you worried about?"
"I wasn't worried about anything originally, but now I'm a little worried that dad knows something." Tie Hongyan said.
"Why?" Tie Jinjue asked.
"My uncle told me just now. Ni Yuan said that the reason why I can see some light that others can't see at this time is because the light already exists, which is the same as the light I am still in after the soul energy was sucked away. It has something to do with it within seven days. Dad naturally knows that I have been sucked away for less than seven days. If dad knows about the gray light on his forehead and there is an alchemist next to him, I think it is not difficult for him to know. People can see the gray light on his forehead, I'm still worried that he might think that I may have seen the gray light on his forehead." Tie Hongyan said.
Tie Jinjue stopped and thought for a moment, then continued to write. While writing, he said to Tie Hongyan, "Are you worried that your father will overthink it?"
Tie Hongyan said: "Well, if my father thinks that I can see the gray light on his forehead, but I act like I haven't seen it when I see it, my father may doubt me. I don't want to cause him any trouble. I feel unsafe if my father is even slightly suspicious of me in an insignificant way."
"But what can you do?" Tie Jinjue said.
"I'm also thinking about what I can do and what I should do." Tie Hongyan said, "If I had directly shown that I could see the gray light on my father's forehead, I think my father might have felt very uncomfortable. Face, after all, it’s in front of my uncle and Wu Xunsheng.”
"Perhaps, if you showed it at that time, the clan leader would be furious." Tie Jin Jue said.
"Uncle, do you think so too?" Tie Hongyan said.
"I'm just talking casually," Tie Jinjue said, "I thought of it based on the patriarch's character."
Tie Hongyan said: "I don't know why the gray light appeared on dad's forehead. If it happened because of the alchemist's method, then why did dad ask the alchemist to do it? Yesterday, dad said that he was going to let someone give Yuan Shuang the Heart-clearing Stone. The alchemist who performed the method would do something for him. I don’t know what he asked the alchemist to do for him. Since my father’s forehead can emit gray light, I think it might be related to my father’s body, and the alchemist probably didn’t come here. It’s for dad’s things.”
Tie Jinjue said: "Obviously the clan leader didn't want you to know that he was in Aogan Hall yesterday before he came to find you."
Tie Hongyan said: "Yes, uncle, I have thought of this too, and I really feel it is a bit strange. Yesterday I asked my father if someone had notified him that I was back when he came so quickly. He said no, and I asked him if he was. Didn't he just happen to be in the Aogan Palace? Dad actually asked me to rest quickly and stop asking so many useless questions, and then he left. I think Dad's reaction was obviously because he didn't want me to know where he was before, and he didn't want me to know. What was he doing before?" (End of chapter)
