Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1967 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven) Memory

Seeing that Quan Chumeng's arrogance had been reduced, Nie Huihou did not say anything more about this issue. He said to Quan Chumeng, "Do you know whether the clan leader will ask the Taoist priest to go to the Seven Stars Zuiren Pavilion to test today?"

Quan Chumeng felt that this was difficult to do, but he was unwilling to tell Nie Hui directly that it was difficult to do. Instead, he said in a different way: "If the clan leader has already found an alchemist and they are testing at the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion, I can know that there is an alchemist testing through my magic."

Nie Huihou said, "Why don't you just tell me whether you know whether the clan leader will ask a Taoist priest to predict the future? If you know everything, I won't have to ask you."

Although Nie Huihou pointed it out immediately, Quan Chumeng still didn't want to answer the question directly because he had no idea whether the clan leader would ask a Taoist priest to predict the outcome. He said to Nie Huihou, "Let me try."

Nie Huihou did not press the issue immediately and agreed.

Quan Chumeng immediately performed the ritual. After a while, Nie Huihou asked, "Do you understand now?"

Quan Chumeng replied: "I don't know yet."

"Okay, then I understand. You have no way of knowing whether the clan leader will ask a Taoist priest to go to the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion for a test today." Nie Huihou said.

Quan Chumeng said, "If the alchemist hired by the clan leader goes there to measure it later, I will know."

Nie Huihou said, "Next time I ask you a question, just tell me directly, don't beat around the bush."

Quan Chumeng knew that it was not appropriate for him to continue explaining anything at this time, so he said, "Yes, Elder Nie, I understand." "Then how long will you continue to perform the ritual?" Nie Huihou asked.

"How about this, I'll try it for a while and see if I can figure it out." Quan Chumeng said.

"Okay, then you try it." Nie Huihou said.

Quan Chumeng tried again for a while, but still couldn't find the answer.

Nie Huihou looked at Quan Chumeng and thought: Since Quan Chumeng didn't tell me directly just now, and insisted that if the clan leader had already found a Taoist priest and they were testing at the Seven Stars Zuiren Pavilion, he would know that there was a Taoist priest testing by performing a ritual, so he should just keep performing rituals in this underground room. I have to do other things first, and I will come to ask him about the situation later. Let him experience this today, and I will see if he will know how to speak directly to me in the future.

Nie Huihou said that he would leave for a while to do other things, and asked Quan Chumeng to stay in the basement and continue to perform the ritual. He would come to ask him when the time comes.

Quan Chumeng thought: I might as well have told Elder Nie directly that I had no way of knowing whether the clan leader would ask the Taoist priest to go to the Seven Stars Drunken Pavilion to test today. After I said that, Elder Nie asked me to continue the ritual here and he would come to ask me later. As a result, I have to stay here for a while longer. I will remember this lesson in the future. Since Elder Nie said so this time, I can't help but do it. Anyway, I have nothing else to do today, so I will continue the ritual here. However, if I still haven't tested anything by the time Elder Nie comes, what should I do? It's useless to think so much now, just take it one step at a time.

After Nie Huihao left the basement, Quan Chumeng continued to perform the ritual.

After Nie Huihou finished his work and came back again, Quan Chumeng said that he had learned through magic that a Taoist priest had gone to predict the situation at the Seven Star Zuiren Pavilion. Although he was not sure whether it was the clan leader who asked the Taoist priest to predict the situation, he had a feeling that it was.
