Chapter 1809 (One Thousand Eight Hundred and Nine) Stretch
"Yes." Tie Hongyan said.

Tie Jinjue asked, "What did he tell you?"

"He told me that even if he used magic to absorb the soul-purifying energy from my body and took some actions to restore it, the interior of the gray house would never be exactly the same as before. Although its functions could still be used normally, the situation of those blue-armored men would be different from before." Tie Hongyan said.

When Tie Jinjue heard that the situation of the blue-armored people was different from before, his heart tightened and he thought: What will happen to those blue-armored people?

Tie Jinjue asked, "What's the difference from before?"

Tie Hongyan said: "Hou Fangshi told me that in the future, when the clan leader abuses the blue-armored people in the gray house, those blue-armored people will still show those painful expressions, but they actually can no longer feel the pain."

Tie Jinjue was worried at first, but after hearing what Tie Hongyan said, he was no longer so worried. He thought to himself: Can't they feel the pain? It was really heartbreaking to see those blue-armored people being abused in the gray house. If they can't feel the pain, it would be a good thing for them, right?
However, just when he thought of this, he suddenly became worried again, thinking: If I can't feel the pain anymore, could it be that something worse has happened? Why do those blue-armored people still show those painful symptoms?

Tie Jinjue frowned and quickly asked Tie Hongyan: "Why do you still show signs of pain even though you can't feel the pain anymore?"

Tie Hongyan replied: "Master Hou told me that when the clan leader did something to the blue-armored people in the gray house, those blue-armored people still showed pain because they had formed the habit of showing pain when they were abused in the past. After Master Hou performed a ritual on those blue-armored people, they retained this habit. Whenever they are abused by the clan leader, they will show pain as before."

Tie Jinjue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown relaxed. He looked around, thought for a moment, and said, "So, this is a good thing for them?"

Tie Hongyan first said "hmm", paused for a moment, and then said: "I thought at the time that if there was no way to rescue them, it would be a good thing to make them feel no pain. At that time, I wanted to confirm whether this was really the case, and asked Hou Fangshi if they used magic to absorb the soul-cleansing energy from my body and took some actions to restore it, then from then on, no matter what they did, those blue-armored people would not feel pain. Hou Fangshi said so, and I also learned from him that those blue-armored people would never feel pain when they were abused."

Tie Jinjue said, "In that case, your touching the invisible curtain wasn't such a bad thing. I think the clan leader thought you had tampered with the Gray House that day and sent Hou Fangshi to Aoqian Palace to tell you about it. If you hadn't touched the invisible curtain before, the clan leader wouldn't have brought Hou Fangshi to the guest hall of Henglianju, and Hou Fangshi wouldn't have been able to quickly discover that you were a person with the Soul Purifying Qi, and the Taoist priests wouldn't have been able to quickly use the Soul Purifying Qi to perform a ritual on the Gray House, and they wouldn't have been able to quickly make those blue-armored people feel no pain forever."

Tie Hongyan said: "Maybe. I just hope those blue-armored people will no longer have to endure that pain."

"What did you say to Master Hou after you found out?" Tie Jinjue asked.
