Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3122 (Three Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Two) Revealed
"What did he say?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"He told me that this is actually how alchemists are. Sometimes they have no choice but to do things for different people. This is especially true if that person is powerful," said Tie Jinjue.

"He seems to be implicitly acknowledging what my uncle just said," Tie Hongyan said, "When he said 'powerful and influential', he might have been thinking of my father. Li Fangshi has done more than one thing for my father during this period of time."

Tie Jinjue hummed again and said, "Although I already know what he is thinking, I still want to confirm it, so I asked him if there is something he doesn't want to do but has to do."

"I feel like he still won't admit it directly." Tie Hongyan said.

"Your feeling is correct." Tie Jinjue said, "He didn't admit it directly, but he revealed important information to me. He said that he understands that many people have times when they are forced to do things against their will, but when they feel that they have taken the wrong path and have no way out, they will accumulate a lot of emotions in their hearts, and these emotions will affect the Taoist's practice."

Tie Hongyan said: "He feels that he has taken the wrong path?"

"Yes." Tie Jinjue said, "He told me so."

Tie Hongyan listened attentively, thinking about the feeling of a person who feels that he has taken the wrong path but has no way to retreat, and felt a sense of helplessness.

Tie Jinjue continued, "In fact, when I heard him say that he had taken the wrong path, I felt that what he said was related to his sister Li Gengmi. I asked him how he knew he had taken the wrong path, and he told me that he was an alchemist, and whether he had taken the wrong path or not could be determined by looking at what happened later. I asked him if he had any prophecies in the past, and he said yes, and told me that some things could be proven later. He also told me that it had been proven that the path he had taken was wrong."

"Did he tell my uncle why he took the wrong road?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Tie Jinjue said: "I asked him what path he had taken wrong, and he said he felt that he had taken the wrong path in his life."

"So serious?" Tie Hongyan said.

"Yeah." Tie Jinjue said, "He also said that he wanted to take another path, but the consequences have already appeared, and he no longer has much chance. I asked him how he knew there was no chance, and then I told him that sometimes opportunities don't appear where you can see them at a glance."

Tie Hongyan said: "That's right. Sometimes opportunities don't appear where you can see them at a glance. You need to look for them carefully or create them yourself. Did Li Fangshi look for opportunities but couldn't find them? Did he try to create opportunities but couldn't do it?"

Tie Jinjue said: "He shook his head at the time, and he looked...very painful. He said he felt that even if he could see a thousand miles away, he might not see any chance. I told him that just because he hadn't seen it yet, it didn't mean there wasn't any. He said he didn't know where to look, and then he revealed important information to me, saying that the consequences of the previous incident made him feel guilty."

"Are you referring to something related to his sister?" Tie Hongyan said.

"That's true." Tie Jinjue said, "I asked him if he felt sorry for anyone, and he told me directly that he did, and that he felt sorry for more than one person. I naturally thought of his sister Li Gengmi, and asked him if there was anyone he felt particularly sorry for, and he said without hesitation that he did."
