Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1789: Lying

When Tie Wandao said this, he glared at Hou Jizhuan fiercely.

Hou Jizhuan had not looked directly into Tie Wandao's eyes the moment before, but now he looked up at Tie Wandao and found that his gaze was still frightening, so he looked away. However, at this time, Hou Jizhuan was so angry that even his fear had diminished.

He thought: The reason why the red-robed Taoist put the blame on me for stopping the spell first was because of fear. He was afraid that the clan leader would know that he was the one who stopped the spell first, which would lead to consequences that he could not bear. In fact, I didn't dare to tell the clan leader before that it was my mistake in the ritual that caused the problem in the gray house because of fear, and I was afraid that I would not be able to bear the consequences after telling the truth. Although it was really hateful that the red-robed Taoist put the blame on me, he and I still had something in common - we chose to cover up the truth because of fear. In the final analysis, no one dared to tell the truth because the clan leader was too much! The clan leader had the power of life and death, so some people did not dare to admit it after accidentally doing something wrong, fearing that the clan leader would be ruthless. People who work for the clan leader are always afraid of doing something wrong. In such a terrifying environment, others can only cover up when they have problems with their work. What truth can they talk about? If telling the truth means heavy punishment or even losing one's life, who dares to tell the truth? ! In such an environment, if you want to protect yourself, can you do this without lying? Although lying can have serious consequences if it is discovered, if it is really possible to avoid being discovered, isn't lying a way to avoid terrible things? The patriarch always makes people around him live in fear. People around him are more likely to make mistakes. A person who is nervous is more likely to make mistakes. The patriarch does not give people a chance to breathe. In such an environment, if something goes wrong, isn't it just making up lies to deceive each other? People who work for the patriarch will deceive the patriarch, and they will also deceive other people who work for the patriarch. The tense atmosphere and terrifying environment make it difficult for the "truth" to appear. What is this? Why can the patriarch decide the future of others and decide their life and death at will?

The more Hou Jizhuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face turned red with anger. However, when Tie Wandao asked him questions, he still couldn't confront him.

Tie Wandao said: "Hou Jizhuan, I allow you to speak now, please say a word."

Hou Jizhuan was immersed in anger before, and when he heard him say this suddenly, he didn't know what to say immediately.

Tie Wandao said again: "I asked you to speak, so go ahead and speak! Looking at you like this, are you dissatisfied or what's the matter?"

Hou Jizhuan was of course not convinced, but at this moment he could only be thankful that he had heard clearly what Tie Wandao said when he was angry just now.

Hou Jizhuan had to say against his will: "Patriarch, I can let it go, and of course I am not dissatisfied."

"Your face is red, do you think I can't see it?" Tie Wandao said.

Hou Jizhuan said: "I blushed because I was ashamed." After saying this, he felt sick. He was sick of himself that he clearly had not let it go and was just unwilling to accept it in his heart, but in order to protect himself he claimed that he was blushing because of shame.

"Really? Because of shame?! Good thing you still feel ashamed!" Tie Wandao said, "Since you feel ashamed, then perform a ritual to redeem yourself! Hurry up and continue the ritual. This time, don't stop chanting the spell because of any conflict between you and other alchemists! Don't stop, can you do it?"
