Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2537 (Two Thousand Five Hundred Thirty Seven) Diligence

"Do you mean that Li Pingrun has narrowed the range of its movement?" Tie Wandao asked.

Tie Jinjue said: "If it has never moved out of that range, it should be inseparable from Li Fangshi's efforts. Besides, could it be that the range we saw it move in has been reduced by Li Fangshi again?"

Tie Wandao said: "I find that you can always think from his perspective."

Tie Jinjue was shocked when he heard Tie Wandao say this, but he said calmly, "I think he is sincere enough to the clan leader."

"He's a pretty reliable guy," Tie Wandao said, "but he's always uncertain about this and that, which is frustrating sometimes."

"The fact that he told the clan leader 'I'm not sure' is actually a manifestation of his sincerity." Tie Jinjue said, "Sometimes when I see him being so attentive to the clan leader's instructions, I will think from his perspective. In fact, it is also for the clan leader. I like to see that those who work for the clan leader are diligent and serious."

At this time, Tie Jinjue thought: I seemed to have been a little too obvious in front of the clan leader when I spoke up for Li Fangshi. Although there were other reasons for me to do so, the clan leader certainly didn't know that reason. In fact, at first, I still considered from time to time whether my behavior towards Li Fangshi would make the clan leader feel that something was wrong. Later, after I became more familiar with Li Fangshi, I felt that the clan leader would also think that it was natural for me to think from Li Fangshi's perspective, so I was not as cautious as before. Should I have been more cautious before? However, it didn't matter. Until now, I still don't think the clan leader would doubt me. I think the clan leader should think that my explanation just now is quite reasonable. However, I'd better be more cautious next time.

"I understand." Tie Wandao said, "I will naturally use people who work diligently and conscientiously for me."

Tie Wandao did not doubt that there were other reasons why Tie Jinjue did that.

Tie Jinjue also felt that Tie Wandao's words probably meant that he did not suspect him.

Tie Wandao was about to say something else when he saw the cone-shaped hard cover suddenly stop at a certain position. He swallowed back what he wanted to say and said to Tie Jinjue, "Is it there? Could it be the entrance to the underground where the changes happened?"

Tie Jinjue said: "We cannot rule out this possibility."

Tie Wandao asked, "Has he finished his ritual?"

Tie Jinjue said: "I can't see clearly from here, I guess he will come over once the ritual is finished."

"Why doesn't he come over quickly? That thing isn't even 'looking' around. Why doesn't he go look for it himself?" Tie Wandao asked, "Does he have to continue with the ritual? How long do we have to wait?"

Tie Jinjue originally wanted to tell him that even if he had to wait a little longer, it would be worth it if he could find out the exact location of the entrance. However, he didn't say that because he had thought about the need to be cautious when talking about Li Pingrun next.

He just said, "I can't guess that."

"I hope he'll be quick." Tie Wandao said, "I'm going to go to Hongfeng Hall to look at the paintings you drew earlier. Of course, he must go too. I want to see with my own eyes what he can say when he points to the painting 'Cactus in the Sunlight'."

At this moment, the cone with its apex facing downward suddenly penetrated the ground and quickly sank into the soil.
