Chapter 2452 (Two Thousand Four Hundred and Fifty-Two) Try Your Best

"Tell me honestly, have you really tried your best?" Nie Huihou asked.

Quan Chumeng thought to himself: I have put so much effort into working for him, and yet he asks me this question!

"Of course I tried my best!" Quan Chumeng said.

"Aren't you very capable? You've tried your best, but you haven't come up with anything yet. Why is that? You've tried your best, is it that you're not capable enough?" Nie Huihou asked.

Quan Chumeng explained, "Elder Nie, I am indeed very capable, and I did try my best, but who knew I would encounter such a strange situation! Since I have encountered problems again and again, I will find ways to solve them again and again."

Nie Huihou asked, "You said before that you were anxious to check the situation in Muxi Pavilion, and you were too anxious when you used the spell. You continued to perform the spell even though you were already feeling uncomfortable, and you almost lost your life. You also said that you couldn't perform the spell before sunrise the next day. Do you remember?"

"Remember." Quan Chumeng said.

"How is your physical recovery now?" Nie Huihou asked.

Quan Chu thought: Since I am very capable and have tried my best, but I have encountered special circumstances and failed to do what Elder Nie asked me to do several times, and I have not been able to do anything in my new mission here today, I have to find an excuse. I can't let Elder Nie think that I am incapable or not trying my best! Just say that my body has not fully recovered, but I have risked my life to do my best for him. This will make me look capable and try my best. Well, this excuse is not bad, and I can only use this excuse now.

"Elder Nie, I said before that I couldn't perform rituals before sunrise the next day. But after sunrise, although I could perform rituals again, it didn't mean that my body had fully recovered. In fact, later on, I always tried my best to do things for Elder Nie even in dangerous situations." Quan Chumeng said.

"So, you continued to investigate the situation of Muxi Pavilion through rituals when your body was not fully recovered? Being able to do it under such circumstances can be considered as showing that you are indeed quite capable, but you can't always achieve the effect I want directly." Nie Huihou said, "Will the incomplete recovery of your body affect the effect of your rituals?"

"It will have an impact. While my body has not fully recovered, I have tried my best to investigate the situation at Muxi Pavilion, and I have already found out through some methods." Quan Chumeng said.

"What you meant by finding out clearly is that you found out that the Gong Hun Talisman was missing. What kind of result did you find out? It's so infuriating just to talk about it!" Nie Huihao said, "If you said that your physical condition later affected the effectiveness of your magic, then what about before that incident? Weren't you always casting spells for the Muxi Pavilion? But how come you didn't know anything when the Gong Hun Talisman was removed? What can I say about you?" Nie Huihao said.

"Elder Nie, I told you before that someone used spells to protect the area around Muxi Pavilion." Quan Chumeng said.

Nie Huihou said, "Who could have protected it? Isn't it someone who knows magic? He knows magic, and you know magic, so why can't you break the magic that he used to protect Muxi Pavilion? Is this a question of ability? Didn't you tell me that you have never received the Huanshi, and you can do many things that alchemists can't do? I ask you, is the person who used magic to protect the Muxi Pavilion a person who has received the Huanshi?"
