Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2569 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Sixty-Nine)

When Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun those questions, Tie Jinjue sometimes glanced at Tie Jinjue out of the corner of his eye, secretly observing him when Tie Wandao wouldn't notice, trying to see if there was anything abnormal about him that could be seen on the surface.

He noticed that Tie Wandao frowned every few words, even though their conversation at that time was obviously not the kind that would easily make people frown. After Li Pingrun answered his questions, Tie Wandao would not only ask further questions, but his expression when he spoke was often as if he was finding fault.

Tie Jinjue felt that even though Li Pingrun was very patient in answering questions and gave Tie Wandao detailed answers, sometimes Tie Wandao would still pick out the so-called imprecise expressions in Li Pingrun's words and dwell on the details of such expressions for a while.

As Tie Jinjue walked, he recalled Tie Wandao's recent situation and felt that Tie Wandao had indeed become more serious than before and liked to find fault with what others said, and this situation was becoming more and more obvious.

Tie Jinjue felt uneasy. He thought: In fact, the clan leader should trust Li Fangshi very much. He is increasingly suspicious, not targeting Li Fangshi. From what I have seen, he is more critical of others recently than before. Although he used to find faults, he did not seem to be so obvious as now. He certainly did not say so many things as recently, and sometimes he seemed to not say so much casually in order to show his dignity. Today, time is so tight and he is so busy, but he really spent a lot of time asking Li Pingrun all kinds of questions and saying all kinds of things to him, as if those things did not take time. Actually, this is nothing, but I think this is really different from his past. It should not be that my feeling is wrong. Why did he change like this? What is going on with his frown again and again?

The three of them walked to the farthest point from the place where Li Pingrun saw different scenery twice that Tie Wandao allowed Li Pingrun to go alone to explore the road before the thunder.

Just as Tie Wandao was wondering how such a change could happen to him, Tie Jinjue heard Tie Wandao ask Li Pingrun, "Until you got here, what you saw on the road was the same as what you saw the last time you walked this road?"

"The same." Li Pingrun replied.

"Don't you feel anything is wrong?" Tie Wandao asked.

Tie Jinjue noticed out of the corner of his eye that Tie Wandao frowned again when he said this.

Li Pingrun didn't know if Tie Wandao was asking about a specific situation. He wanted to tell Tie Wandao that if the clan leader didn't mention any specific situation, then there was no such thing. However, he remembered what happened at the place where the secret code was set before, so he didn't mention "specific situation" again, but just answered: "I don't feel anything."

"Don't you feel anything at all?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

At this moment, Tie Jinjue noticed with his peripheral vision that Tie Wandao's previously frowned brows had relaxed. This reaction occurred before Li Pingrun answered, which seemed a little abrupt.

Just when Tie Jinjue felt something was not right, Tie Wandao frowned again.

Li Pingrun said: "To the clan leader, I didn't feel anything at all."

"You mean, the flowers, plants, trees and other things on this road are the same as before?" Tie Wandao asked again.

When he asked this question, his brows relaxed again.
