Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2560 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty) Next Time
After saying that, Li Pingrun began to perform a ritual for Tie Wandao, and during the process he indeed touched the tip of Tie Wandao's right index finger.

After the ritual was completed, Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: "Why do my fingertips feel hot?"

Li Pingrun said, "This proves that my method of protecting you has worked."

"You should also protect Elder Tie." Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun.

"Yes, Patriarch." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Jinjue was unwilling to do so at first, and didn't even want to go to the tree, but Tie Wandao had said this, which obviously meant that he should go to the tree together. If he said that he would not let Li Pingrun perform the ritual and he would not go there himself, it would easily make Tie Wandao suspicious, so he didn't say anything, but thought to himself: He is just protecting me, Li Fangshi should not be able to see that there is anything wrong with me.

Li Pingrun then performed a ritual on Tie Jinjue as well.

After completing the procedure, Tie Jinjue also felt the tip of his right index finger getting hot.

The three of them walked towards the tree.

Tie Wandao looked at the tree hole and found that there was indeed a faint green gas coming out of the pentagonal hole. He said to Li Pingrun, "When will this green gas last?"

Li Pingrun said: "I'm not sure either."

Tie Wandao said: "It's uncertain again, can't you tell me a possible situation?"

Li Pingrun said: "Oh, that's possible... maybe it will come out the next time there is thunder."

"Why didn't you just tell me this directly?" Tie Wandao said, "Why did you have to wait for me to ask one more question?"

Li Pingrun said: "Patriarch, I said this because you asked me that. I just said that there is such a possibility, but I can't say how big this possibility is. Maybe it is very small."

"Then which possibility is more likely?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I don't know what is more likely." Li Pingrun said.

"What do you know?" Tie Wandao said dissatisfiedly.

"Chief, there are some things I really don't know." Li Pingrun said.

"Apart from the possibility that it will stop emitting green gas the next time there is thunder, what other possibilities are there?" Tie Wandao asked again. "Also...it is also possible that it will stop emitting green gas after we enter the underground space." Li Pingrun said.

"Why didn't you just tell me this?" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said with an embarrassed look on his face: "I don't know how likely this is."

"What's wrong with you now?" Tie Wandao glanced at Li Pingrun again.

"Ah?" Li Pingrun looked confused.

"I remember you were a very brave person, and you always said whatever you wanted to say. But why... you seem a little different from before." Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said: "I just spoke more carefully."

Tie Wandao said, "You don't have to be like this. Can you just be happy and cheerful like before?"

Li Pingrun said: "I'll try my best."

"Try your best? Let me ask you, what are you worried about?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said, "I'm worried that my words might not be precise enough and might cause misunderstandings."

"There's nothing to worry about. Just tell the truth." Tie Wandao said.

"I have always told the truth to the clan leader." said Li Pingrun.

"Then you should be frank and tell me the truth. What are you worried about?" Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun said: "It is better to be more rigorous to prevent any misunderstandings that may make the clan leader angry."

"Me? Angry?" Tie Wandao asked, "What are you angry about?"
