Chapter 191: Compromise
In Tie Hongyan's opinion, no matter what, she could not willingly return to the place that she hated, but she also knew that even if she didn't want to go back, she couldn't escape, so she had to take this opportunity to say to Tie Wandao: "Let me play, don't force me to learn martial arts!"
Tie Wandao knew that Tie Hongyan was a very stubborn child. If he didn't agree to her request, she would cause trouble again when she returned. But if he really agreed to not force her to practice martial arts from now on, it would be a big no-go. So Tie Wandao thought of a compromise - he told her that she could temporarily stop practicing martial arts for a certain period of time, but after that period, she must study hard and no other conditions would be discussed. During the period of time when he allowed Tie Hongyan to temporarily stop practicing martial arts, he could also think of other ways to make her accept the idea of learning martial arts psychologically. So he said, "Dad understands that I pushed you too hard the past few days. How about this? In the next month, Dad will allow you not to practice martial arts. This month is for you to have fun, but after a month, you must study hard and never get angry because of martial arts. We agreed that no one is allowed to cheat. How about it?"
Tie Hongyan believed that it would be better for her to never learn martial arts in the future, so she did not respond immediately after hearing Tie Wandao's words.
Tie Wandao said, "Dad, count to three. If you agree, you must agree now. Otherwise, you will be forced to practice martial arts for the next month."
Although Tie Hongyan was not satisfied with this arrangement, she thought: I don't have to learn for a month anyway, so I'll just agree to it. If I can escape within a month, the adults won't be able to control me in the future! If I'm forced to learn martial arts for the next month, it will be hard to find time to escape!
As soon as Tie Wandao finished counting the first blow, Tie Hongyan said reluctantly: "Okay, I agree! But you have to keep your word!"
"Dad is the chief of the Tiecang tribe. He always keeps his promises to the Tiecang people, so of course he means what he says!" Seeing that she agreed, Tie Wandao felt more at ease and said readily.
"Yeah." Tie Hongyan nodded reluctantly.
“Hongyan, when dad meets his subordinates later, he may say something you don’t want to hear, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Dad is the clan leader and needs to maintain his dignity in front of his subordinates. Don’t be unhappy. Those words dad said to them, not to you.” Tie Wandao told Tie Hongyan in advance to prevent him from doing anything out of line because of his unhappiness.
As soon as they finished speaking, they heard the sound of Tie Wandao's men looking for Tie Hongyan from the front.
After saying hello, Tie Wandao, still holding Tie Hongyan, strode up to the subordinates and said, "Young Clan Leader is causing you trouble! I have already reprimanded her. I will discipline her when I return. Let's see if she dares to mess around again in the future! Young Clan Leader should act like a Young Clan Leader!"
Tie Hongyan discovered that Tie Wandao's face was full of majesty at this moment, and he seemed like a suddenly different person compared to when he was talking to her just now.
The reason why Tie Wandao said this with a serious face was because he knew that some people were unwilling to acknowledge Tie Hongyan as the "young clan leader" in their hearts. When he said those words in front of them, he was also hinting that they should not have any other ideas.
