Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4125 (Four Thousand One Hundred and Twenty Five) Mountain

Tie Hongyan asked, "Master Ning apologized to me, is it just because he felt that the ritual was too slow?"

Ning Duanye replied, "Yes, actually I should have succeeded earlier, but I never expected that the person who used the forbidden technique here actually used fireflies! When I was performing the ritual, I could see the dead fireflies as they were alive, and saw them dancing in the dark night, and then I... I thought of my junior sister Yin Ting, and I was so sad that I couldn't control myself... That's why the previous ritual failed."

When Tie Hongyan heard "what those dead fireflies looked like when they were alive", she felt as if she had been punched in the heart. She thought: Is it really related to the life of fireflies in reality? Then... could it be... related to human life as well? No, he hasn't said what's going on yet, I don't want to think like that.

She wanted to ask Ning Duanye about Liuying right away, but seeing that he was still very sad, she thought about what happened between him and Lu Yinting, and couldn't bear it, so she just said, "Let the past be the past...Fangshi Ning, don't be too sad."

Ning Duanye said, "Thank you, young clan leader! Actually, I didn't want to bring it up either. Who knew that the person who used the forbidden technique would use fireflies to do it! The past was brought up forcibly... Alas... Those fireflies are no longer alive. When I saw all that, I even saw my junior sister's unhappy look. When I performed the ritual for the first time, I clearly saw those fireflies at first, but then it was pitch black. I felt like I was in the mountain, the mountain where my junior sister and I met. At that time, all the fireflies suddenly died. My junior sister and I were in the pitch black, unable to see any light. Later, my junior sister also disappeared. There are no more fireflies in that mountain, and there will never be any fireflies again."

Tie Hongyan said: "The feeling you had when you performed the ritual was not real. It was not actually like that."

"I know." Ning Duanye said, "I know there should still be fireflies on that mountain... The sadness I felt when I was performing the ritual made me hope that I could be buried in that mountain after I die."

Tie Hongyan said: "Master Ning, what are you talking about now? What about the afterlife... You were performing a ritual just now, and it was successful."

Ning Duanye said: "I...I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Young Clan Leader!"

Tie Hongyan asked, "It's nothing, you don't need to apologize to me. I won't punish you for the length of time. My father probably won't either, because he doesn't know how long it will take you to perform the ritual."

When Ning Duanye heard Tie Hongyan say, "My father probably wouldn't know either," she looked up at Tie Hongyan and asked, "Really..."

Tie Hongyan noticed that the light flashing in his eyes was a little strange at this moment, and said: "He doesn't know how long it will take for you to perform the ritual, and I won't tell him. Others don't understand the situation of the ritual, and they can't tell my father too much. If my father intends to punish you because of what others say, I will definitely speak for you, no matter what method I use, I will ensure that my father will not punish you!"

Ning Duanye looked at Tie Hongyan and said, "No matter what... I still want to thank the young clan leader for his kindness!"

Tie Hongyan felt strange and asked Ning Duanye: "Do you think my father will punish you? Don't think so."

Ning Duanye sighed softly and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."

Tie Hongyan asked, "You didn't know my father was coming while you were performing the ritual, did you?"
