Chapter 2508 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eight) Back Off

"Yes, that's what I said just now." Li Pingrun said, "But after this practice, I actually got a result beyond my expectation. I felt that my current situation might be very different from usual, so I wanted to try to see if the practice on the painting could also produce unexpected results."

Tie Wandao asked, "Which paintings do you want to teach?"

"I want to try each one." Li Pingrun said.

"Do I need to go there as well when you perform the ritual this time?" Tie Jinjue asked Li Pingrun.

Li Pingrun replied: "Elder Tie, it would be best if no one is near me when I perform this ritual."

"Once the ritual is done, just go over and tell us the results, okay?" Tie Wandao said.

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Jinjue and Tie Wandao came over there again, sat on the two adjacent chairs and started talking.

Li Pingrun first performed a ritual on a painting he had previously painted in Hongfeng Hall, and then shook his head after finishing the ritual.

Then, he tried to perform the rituals on other paintings in Hongfeng Hall, and he looked regretful every time he finished the ritual.

Afterwards, he worked on the painting he had finished in the Bakong Palace, and then looked dissatisfied again.

Finally, he worked on the last painting he had done in the Bakong Palace - that was the only painting that had not been modified by Tie Jinjue, and it was a painting that he himself thought was complete, but others thought was incomplete.

During the process, he suddenly cried out "Ah", stepped back a few steps, and stood there for a moment, as if frightened by something, then walked back to the original position and continued the process. After the process was over, Li Pingrun stood there in a daze.

Just when Li Pingrun screamed "Ah", Tie Jinjue and Tie Wandao looked at Li Pingrun at the same time, and then they kept staring at Li Pingrun's every move.

They didn't know whether the sound of "Ah" was necessary for Li Pingrun to perform the ritual. In order to avoid interrupting Li Pingrun's ritual, the two of them didn't approach Li Pingrun, but just watched him, wondering what they would do if there was anything wrong with him next.

As Li Pingrun stood there blankly, he felt the gazes from Tie Jinjue and Tie Wandao. He seemed to be patted by someone and shook a little, then he looked at the two people sitting over there.

Li Pingrun then remembered what Tie Wandao had said to him before, "Once the ritual is completed, just go over and tell us the results, okay?", so he hurriedly walked towards Tie Wandao and Tie Jinjue.

He felt as if a long time had passed.

Li Pingrun said to the two of them, "Patriarch, Elder Tie, I have finished my ritual. I am sorry, but I don't think I have found anything useful."

Tie Wandao frowned and said, "You didn't figure out anything from the painting? Then why were you so shocked just now? I thought you knew some earth-shattering secret!"

In fact, Tie Wandao had thought before whether Li Pingrun's "ah" was necessary in the process of the ritual. At that time, Tie Jinjue also told him that the "ah" might just be necessary in the process of the ritual. However, at this moment, he did not mention these things at all when talking to Li Pingrun. He was a little disappointed when he heard Li Pingrun say that he did not measure anything useful, so he did not want to speak from Li Pingrun's perspective.

Li Pingrun said, "I'm sorry, clan leader. I was shocked by the scene I saw in the painting just now. I don't know why I screamed out."
