Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 189: Seeking

Wu Xunsheng walked a short distance in the direction she ran away and found that she had dropped the cloth bag that originally contained food on the ground. He wanted to chase her and return it to her, but Tie Hongyan had already run away without a trace. There were many forked roads ahead, and he didn't know which one she took, so he didn't chase her anymore. He folded the cloth bag into the smallest size and put it in his pocket. Wu Xunsheng didn't want to stay here for long, so he left from another road.

Tie Hongyan ran for a while and saw a mountain in front of her. She didn't know how she could cross it without food. It was a barren mountain, where even wild fruits didn't grow. If she went there, she would probably be buried in the mountain.

Just as I was hesitating, I heard a familiar voice from behind: "Hongyan, so you are here!" The voice revealed surprise and excitement.

She turned around and saw that the person was Tie Wandao.

In fact, if Tie Hongyan had stayed where she was when she heard the voice calling her, Tie Wandao would not have met her along the way. It was because she ran farther away from home after hearing the voice that she was seen by Tie Wandao here.

When Tie Hongyan saw him, she ran away, but Tie Wandao flew over and blocked her way.

"Hate it, you come to bully me again!" Tie Hongyan started crying again. At this moment, there were only her and Tie Wandao in this place.

Tie Wandao picked her up and said, "Hongyan, Daddy won't bully you. Come back with Daddy!"

"No!" Tie Hongyan pouted, frowned, and struggled constantly, trying to break free from Tie Wandao's restraints.

Tie Wandao held Tie Hongyan tightly with one hand and wiped her tears with the other hand, saying, "You have no food or money, what will you do if you get hungry?"

Seeing Tie Wandao's expression, Tie Hongyan felt his concern for her and was touched. She had never seen Tie Wandao, who was always domineering in her eyes, speak to her so gently. This made her feel that he was not always so annoying. Although she felt this way, she still said unconvincedly: "At worst, I'll starve to death!"

"Don't say that! You are my only child and I love you very much. I will be very sad if you are hungry." Tie Wandao said sincerely.

Tie Hongyan knew that struggling was useless, so she stopped struggling. She looked at Tie Wandao with a blaming look and said, "Really? Then why did you whip me so hard?"

"Dad was impulsive! You said you liked the blue-armored man, but you didn't recognize me as your father, so I couldn't help but beat you." Tie Wandao said. "What's wrong with me liking the blue-armored man?" Tie Hongyan was puzzled.

"Your mother was killed by the blue-armored men!" Tie Wandao said angrily.

"Really?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Of course it's true. If the blue-armored men can't be used for work, they should all be killed!" said Tie Wandao.

"But..." Tie Hongyan wanted to say something.

"Stop talking. It was wrong for dad to hit you like that. Come back with dad!" Tie Wandao interrupted Tie Hongyan and carried her home.

"No! Put me down." Tie Hongyan said.

"You still refuse to forgive Dad?" Tie Wandao asked.

"When we go back you're going to force me to learn martial arts again." Tie Hongyan was very annoyed.

"Do you know why you are asked to learn martial arts?"

Tie Hongyan replied: "I know, you want me to bully others when I grow up."
