Tie Wandao said: "It seems that the only thing we can do now is to install a blocking valve at the sinkhole?"

"This is all I can think of." Li Pingrun said.

After saying this, Li Pingrun immediately thought of his sister Li Gengmi's sad face, and thought: What am I doing? I clearly want to stop, but not only haven't I stopped, I also told the clan leader so much, am I going to continue doing those things? How can I stop?

Just as he was thinking about stopping, Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun, "I told you before that you would come here to test it. You still have to do it when the time comes, understand? No matter when you can test it, you have to test it during this period. If you can't test it no matter how many times you try, it won't be too late to think of other ways."

Li Pingrun felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart when he heard this. He thought: I was hesitating on the way whether to come today, but I had no choice but to come. In fact, I thought at that time that I had promised the clan leader to do this, so I must finish it, and then I can stop. Who knew that after coming here today, not only could I not stop, but I also received more tasks. In the days to come, I will have to do more things like this... Why did things turn out like this? Is there any way for me to stop?
Li Pingrun frowned when he thought of this and felt very uncomfortable.

Seeing Li Pingrun suddenly appear like this and not agreeing to his request right away, Tie Wandao asked, "Why don't you say anything? What are you thinking about with your frown on your face?"

Li Pingrun said, "Chief, I...I am thinking about something related to the ritual."

Tie Wandao said, "I am the clan leader. I am talking to you, but you don't respond immediately. Are you still thinking about something? What are you doing? Do you take me, the clan leader, seriously?"

Li Pingrun said, "Of course I take the clan leader seriously! What I just thought about was related to the ritual. It's not that it has nothing to do with the clan leader. The clan leader asked me to perform the ritual. The ritual is what the clan leader asked me to do. Thinking about what the clan leader asked me to do is a manifestation of taking the clan leader seriously."

When it came to "the patriarch asked me to do this", Li Pingrun felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart. At this time, he thought: I want to stop, I don't want to do it anymore! I can't do it anymore! But, the patriarch asked me to do this! What can I do? If I don't do it, can I still live? I can't avoid it? I haven't promised the patriarch yet, is it possible for me to not agree?

Just as he was thinking about it, Li Pingrun heard Tie Wandao say, "You are right. Well, since you are thinking about what I asked you to do and you take me seriously, then you must do what I asked you to do. You must try your best and think of various ways to solve the problem for me. Do you understand?"

When Li Pingrun heard Tie Wandao say, "You must do what I ask you to do," it was as if a third knife had been stabbed into his heart. He felt that the three knives had combined to tear off a piece of flesh from his heart, and the pain made him somewhat numb.

Li Pingrun still frowned and said blankly, "I know."

It was as if these three words did not come from his mouth. He felt as if he had pulled out the three knives stuck in his heart one by one, and then stabbed them into the heart of his sister Li Gengmi in another world.

Tie Wandao asked, "Why are you frowning? Are you still thinking about performing a ritual?"
