Chapter 195: No Trace
Tie Hongyan nodded and said "hmm" with a smile.
Chen Lang smiled and said, "Be good! Go ahead and play. Grandma has to go and get busy. Be careful when you play!"
"Well! Grandma, do you come here every day?" Tie Hongyan liked this seemingly amiable grandma very much and hoped to see her again, so she asked.
"Yes, my mother-in-law works here and comes here every day."
"Oh, you've been working here for a long time, right?" Tie Hongyan asked casually.
"No! My mother-in-law is new." Chen Lang seemed unhappy when he said this, and turned around and left.
Chen Lang had no idea that the child in front of her was Tie Hongyan, the young chief of the Tiecang tribe.
Tie Hongyan continued to play with the cloth ball, and soon she chased the ball and ran away somewhere else.
Chapter 43
Tie Wandao came to Gusuo Temple. The smell of fire wafted into his nose, and Tie Wandao rubbed his nose. The once clean and tidy Gusuo Temple now had traces of fire in many places. Although some things had been burned, there were still many places where the fire had not spread. He had not been to Gusuo Temple for a long time, and the layout here had changed a lot, but the area around the place where the "Iron Cang Secret Book" was placed was still the same as when he came last time, but now the "Iron Cang Secret Book" had disappeared without a trace.
This Gusuo Palace is managed by a Tiecang man named Xiang Sibin. When Tie Wandao entered, Xiang Sibin was not inside. The person who received Tie Wandao was Xiang Sibin's apprentice Qiu Hanran.
"Where is your master?" Tie Wandao asked Qiu Hanran in surprise and anxiety after he found that the "Iron Warehouse Secret Book" was missing. "The master went out and will be back soon." Qiu Hanran was a little scared when he saw Tie Wandao's serious expression.
"I told him last time when I came here that the secret of the "Iron Warehouse Secret Book" might have been known by someone outside, and I reminded him that it would be better to move it to another place. I don't know if he listened to me at that time!" Tie Wandao said angrily. As soon as he finished speaking, he thought about it and felt that things might not be as bad as he imagined. He shouldn't be too impulsive before finding out the truth. What if Xiang Sibin has already moved the "Iron Warehouse Secret Book" to another place, but others don't know about it? He realized that if he got angry here without understanding the situation, how embarrassing it would be to find out that the truth was not what he imagined! So he planned to confirm with Qiu Hanran whether the "Iron Warehouse Secret Book" had been moved to another place before.
"Come here!" Tie Wandao pointed to the place where the "Iron Warehouse Secret Book" was once placed and asked Qiu Hanran, "Was there a book placed here before?"
Qiu Hanran was shocked when he saw it, and found that the book that had been placed there before was gone. Although he didn't know what the book was used for and hadn't paid much attention to it, he clearly remembered that there was indeed a book there before, and there were four words on the cover of the book - "Iron Warehouse Secret Book".
"Huh?" Qiu Hanran stood there in a daze.
"Just answer me! I'm asking you a question!" Tie Wandao's eyes widened.
Qiu Hanran said in panic: "It seems...it seems that there is a book..."
"What book?" Tie Wandao asked.
"Tie... Tiecang..." Qiu Hanran stuttered.
"Tie Cang what? Tell me quickly!" Tie Wandao didn't want what he was thinking to be true.
