Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2575 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Seventy-Five) Not Long

Tie Wandao asked: "Is this your guess?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun replied.

"Then why do you think the branches and trunks on the other road are only partially connected?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I think it has something to do with the thunderstorm." Li Pingrun replied.

"How is it related?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I guess, before the rain, there was nothing wrong there, but the thunderstorm just now made the branches that were originally normal on that road become only connected to the trunks." Li Pingrun said.

Tie Wandao said: "Can you use the ritual to find out whether it is what you said before?"

Tie Jinjue thought: What's wrong with the clan leader? Time is tight today, and he actually asked Li Fangshi if he could understand what happened before through a ritual? Is it necessary? Even if he understood, what would happen? Can he change anything?

He wanted to stop Tie Wandao from doing this, but he didn't know why Tie Wandao thought of doing this. He wanted to understand it clearly. At the same time, he didn't know if stopping Tie Wandao at this time would make him suspicious. So he didn't act immediately and decided to wait and see.

Li Pingrun really didn't expect that Tie Wandao would make such a request when time was limited at that time, but since Tie Wandao had said it and he could perform the ritual himself, it would be difficult for him to tell Tie Wandao that he couldn't do it.

Li Pingrun simply said to Tie Wandao: "Chief, I can tell what happened before through the ritual, but..."

"But what?" Tie Wandao asked, "What do you want to say? Although you can perform rituals, you don't want to do it, right?"

Li Pingrun said, "It's not that I don't want to, I just... I know that the clan doesn't have a lot of time, so I'm thinking whether this will delay the clan's time."

Tie Wandao naturally didn't want to waste too much time, he wanted to go back quickly, but since Li Pingrun asked this, he wanted Li Pingrun to try it. Although he wanted to, he still considered whether Li Pingrun's method would take too much time, so he asked Li Pingrun: "Does it take you a long time to do it?" Li Pingrun said: "Not long."

"How long?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun told Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao said unhappily, "You've said so much nonsense in such a short time! In the time you spent talking nonsense just now, shouldn't you have finished the ritual? Stop talking nonsense, perform the ritual here quickly and test what happened before."

"Yes, clan leader." Li Pingrun said.

"People don't have to stay away while you're performing the ritual, right?" Tie Wandao asked, "They can talk, right?"

"No need to hide. You can talk." Li Pingrun said.

"Hurry!" said Tie Wandao.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said.

Li Pingrun began to perform the ritual.

Tie Jinjue thought: The clan leader actually let him perform a ritual here? This is really beyond my expectation! Regarding what happened before, what did Li Fangshi learn from the ritual? Does the clan leader have any way to know? It’s not that I think Li Fangshi would lie to the clan leader, but it’s meaningless to let Li Fangshi perform a ritual under such circumstances! After Li Fangshi performed the ritual, no matter whether the previous situation was as Li Fangshi said, he could only say it was so in order to avoid being punished by the clan leader, right?
Although he thought of all this, Tie Jinjue saw that Li Pingrun had already performed the ritual and thought that it was no longer possible to tell Tie Wandao about this matter. He knew that if he did, it would be like reminding Tie Wandao that the result of the ritual Li Pingrun described might not be true.
