Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3259 Situation

"I did something that made me happy." Li Pingrun replied.

"Does that matter only involve you, or does it involve others as well?" Tie Jinjue asked.

Li Pingrun said: "Elder Tie, in fact, some things, even those that seem to only involve yourself, will also involve others."

Tie Jinjue could sense that he was beating around the bush and asked, "You won't tell me?"

Li Pingrun said, "Elder Tie, I think some things are better left unsaid."

"Just now I asked you, if I asked you a question, would you tell me, do you remember how you answered?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I said I regard Elder Tie as my benefactor." Li Pingrun said.

"Does what you just said mean 'don't tell'?" Tie Jinjue asked, "Are there some things you can say to other people but cannot say to the person you consider a benefactor?"

"That's not the case." Li Pingrun said, "In fact, I didn't directly answer Elder Tie's question just now. I just wanted Elder Tie to know that whether I answered or not, I still regard Elder Tie as my benefactor."

"Why didn't you answer me directly?" Tie Jinjue asked, "Could it be that what you did was bad for me?"

"No... No!" Li Pingrun said quickly, "I will never do anything bad to Elder Tie. Elder Tie is my benefactor!"

"But you copied that function from the root yesterday, and you know very well how important the root is to the Tiecang tribe. If I don't ask for clarification on this matter, I really can't feel at ease." Tie Jinjue said, "This is my responsibility."

Li Pingrun really didn't know how to tell him, so he asked Tie Jinjue: "Elder Tie, what if it is really a very secret matter?"

"You are openly copying the function of the root, can this still be a real secret?" Tie Jinjue said.

"I have no choice." Li Pingrun said, "Elder Tie, if I want to do that, I can only copy the function of the root. In fact, because it was Elder Tie who asked me, I told the truth and said that I was going to copy the root. If someone else asked me, I might not say that." "Then what would you say?" Tie Jinjue said.

"I might say that after I use magic to take out the magic stone, I need to enter the fenced area every once in a while to check if it's normal. If there's any problem, I can handle it." Li Pingrun said, "Of course, I would probably only say this to people when I'm forced to do so."

"People who practice your kind of magic often need to speak honestly, right?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"That's right." Li Pingrun said.

"If someone asks you about it and you say something like that, will it have an adverse impact on you?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

"How dare you say that?" Tie Jinjue said.

"Actually, I'm not worried about the consequences of that anymore." Li Pingrun said, "Of course, the situation doesn't require me to say that."

Tie Jinjue noticed that Li Pingrun's eyes looked a little strange when he said this.

"Are the consequences not serious enough to worry you?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"No." Li Pingrun said, "Even if it's serious, I should bear it."

He asked, "If you are not worried about the consequences, why are you worried about telling me what you did? Are you worried about being punished by me?"

Li Pingrun said: "Elder Tie, I don't know how to tell you."
