Chapter 272: Confidentiality
Tie Jinjue finally said it clearly: "He won't teach you anymore." Although his pronunciation was much clearer, his voice was still not loud, as if it was squeezed out from his throat, and it sounded suppressed and painful.
"Why?" Tie Hongyan became even more sad.
"Hongyan, sooner or later you will understand that no one in the world can ever have the chance to see another person again. It is the same between people. When the fate is over, there will be no chance to meet again." Tie Jinjue answered vaguely.
"What do you mean? I don't understand. Uncle, can you just tell me directly?" Tie Hongyan's eyes turned red. Although she didn't hear any specifics from Tie Jinjue's words, she could vaguely sense from his tone an indescribable heaviness, as if she was about to say goodbye to Fei Cunyi forever.
"What I just said to you is also a secret, just like the secrets between us before, you need to keep it secret. You must not tell anyone, otherwise, you and your uncle will end up in a terrible situation." Tie Jinjue said seriously. Although he had not yet told Tie Hongyan the specific information, he just said "he will not teach you anymore", which would not matter if others knew it, but for safety, he deliberately made the consequences very serious and warned Tie Hongyan.
"I know, and I won't tell anyone. But I still don't know where Master Fei went, why he no longer teaches us, and why he didn't even tell us. Doesn't he like teaching us anymore? He used to be so nice to us!" said Tie Hongyan.
Tie Jinjue felt that if Tie Hongyan knew too much at this moment, it would not be good for either her or himself, so he said: "Don't ask this for now. If you want to know more, you can directly ask the clan leader, 'Why did Master Fei disappear?', but you must not let the clan leader know that you already know that Master Fei will not teach you this anymore. Listen to what the clan leader says."
"Oh, OK, I won't show in front of Dad that I already know that Master Fei is no longer teaching us." Tie Hongyan said. In fact, the idea of asking Tie Wandao where Fei Cunyi went flashed through Tie Hongyan's mind two days ago, but on the one hand, since Tie Wandao didn't take the initiative to tell her, she didn't know whether she should ask. On the other hand, she had a lot of things related to Wu Xunsheng in her mind, so she didn't ask about Fei Cunyi immediately. When she was painting with Tie Jinjue, she couldn't help asking Tie Jinjue first. There were already many secrets between her and Tie Jinjue. There were some things she didn't dare to tell Tie Wandao, but she dared to let Tie Jinjue know without hesitation. Since Tie Jinjue asked her to ask Tie Wandao, she had the courage to ask.
On that day, Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng had just finished studying together in the study of Ao Qian Palace. The teacher who taught them to read and write had already left. Wu Xunsheng was about to return to Peilianju, but before she left, Tie Wandao came in to see her.
When only three people were in the study, Tie Hongyan asked Tie Wandao: "Dad, why is Master Fei, who used to teach us horse riding and archery, gone?"
Tie Wandao's expression suddenly changed, his eyes were like a bolt of lightning that fiercely split the sky. His upper lip trembled, and he said angrily: "Humph! Remember, from now on, you can no longer call him 'Master'! He is not worthy of being the Master of us Tiecang people! No... Not only should you not call him 'Master', you'd better never mention this traitor who is looking for death!"
