Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 7361 (Seven Thousand Three Hundred and Sixty-One) pops up

Grayhand said, "It means I won't let its direction change."

The brown-handed man said, "That would make things simpler. But that's not something I can control."

The gray-handed man chuckled, "I'd still like to hear your more detailed explanation of what we were talking about earlier."

Brown-Handed Man said, "Are you referring to the topic of 'who said it'?"

“That’s right,” said the gray-handed man.

The brown-handed man said, "How about we don't go back and talk about it?"

"You don't want to go back and tell the story anymore?" Grayhand asked.

“It can’t be said to be 'already',” said the brown-handed man.

"Why can't we say 'already'?" Grayhand asked.

“If I say ‘already,’ it gives the impression that things have become what they are now and are unlikely to change,” the Brown-Handed Man said.

"What's the reality?" the gray-handed man asked.

“Actually, it’s possible that they just don’t want to go back in time to talk about it,” the Brown-Handed Man said.

The gray-handed man said, "If you don't want to talk about it, then don't."

The brown-handed man said, "This time I'm just not going back to what I said, not that I can't say it at all. Also, it doesn't mean things won't change later."

"Oh?" Grayhand asked. "What's the difference between 'not going back to say it' and 'not saying it at all'?"

The brown-handed man said, "I'll just drop the 'no' and directly explain what I consider the difference between 'going back to the beginning' and 'being able to speak.'" "Sure," the gray-handed man said.

“In my view, ‘going back’ means returning to the point where we were speaking, quoting what we just said, and then explaining those words. ‘Being able to speak’ means speaking directly without quoting what we just said.”

“But even if we don’t quote the exact words we just said, it’s possible that it involves the situations we just discussed, right?” Grayhand asked.

“That’s right, but in my opinion, that doesn’t fall under the category of ‘going back to the beginning.’ Perhaps there are flaws in my statement. How about this, I’ll put it this way: quoting what we just said would be considered ‘going back to the beginning’ in my view,” said the brown-handed man.

“I understand,” Grayhand said. “You don’t want to ‘go back’ to talk about it right now, but you can ‘talk about it,’ right?”

“Yes,” the brown-handed man said.

The gray-handed man said, "Can you tell me now?"

“Sure,” said the brown-handed man, “but if I say it, it will leave people with the impression that I didn’t say anything at all.”

Grayhand said, "First of all, I don't think it will necessarily leave me with the impression that it's almost as if I didn't say anything. Of course, you're talking about 'giving someone,' which is different from what I mean by 'giving me,' and I understand that. Secondly, even if the 'giving someone' you're talking about leaving me with the impression that it's almost as if I didn't say anything includes 'giving me,' and even if what you said does leave me with the impression that it's almost as if I didn't say anything, it doesn't really matter and doesn't affect anything."

The brown-handed man said, "It's practically the same as saying nothing, so it's fine?"

"What's wrong?" Gray-Handed Man asked. "What could possibly be wrong?"

The brown-handed man laughed and said, "I said that just now probably because my old habit suddenly popped out in an instant."

Grayhand asked, "Is this the habit you had when you were working for your master?"

“That’s right,” said the brown-handed man. “It wasn’t that I wanted it to pop out.”

"So what if it pops up? There's nothing we can do about it, right?" Grayhand laughed.
