Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2581 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Eighty-one) Strong Pressure

After Li Pingrun said, "Chief, I told you the truth," Tie Wandao felt that he had recalled everything that had happened before, and thought that he could now explain to Li Pingrun in front of Tie Jinjue why he had not spoken to him before, so that the two of them would not think that he was too strange during that period. So he deliberately followed up on Li Pingrun's words and asked him, "Do you know why I didn't talk to you for a while?"

Li Pingrun did not guess directly, but asked Tie Wandao "Why?", and Tie Wandao felt more at ease than before. He thought that if Li Pingrun had already given an answer to why he was in that situation, he might have directly said it if he was not pretending not to have thought of anything. However, seeing that Li Pingrun did not say anything to guess, but just asked "Why?", and that his expression seemed really puzzled, Tie Wandao felt that Li Pingrun might not have an answer in his heart.

Tie Wandao knew that he was still emotionally agitated from his empty trip, and he had not shown any anger on the road, so he planned to tell Li Pingrun the reason he had made up in front of Tie Jinjue, so that Li Pingrun wouldn't think too much about him because he was too weird.

He first told Li Pingrun that he was very angry at that time, and then explained the reasons he had made up in his mind why he didn't speak or take any action immediately, mainly saying that he had been enduring.

As he was talking, he thought again of the time when he air-swimmed in front of Tie Hongyan. Tie Hongyan once said that he would make a "hmm" sound when he air-swimmed. He thought that this time when he air-swimmed in front of Tie Jinjue and Li Pingrun, he might have made a "hmm" sound as well, but he was not sure whether he made that sound. So he said that in that situation, any sound he made would only be an accidental sound he made during the process of endurance.

After Tie Wandao said, "You should know that I am not someone who will easily tolerate others," Li Pingrun quickly said, "Thank you, clan leader!"

At this time, Tie Jinjue immediately said to Li Pingrun, "Li Fangshi, you know, the clan leader knows how honest you are to him, and he really endured it for you. I didn't say a word because I felt that the clan leader was very angry but was suppressing his anger. I knew that the clan leader was already very uncomfortable, and when the clan leader was suppressing his anger, I naturally wouldn't say anything, because I couldn't guarantee that what I said intentionally or unintentionally would not make the clan leader more uncomfortable."

The reason why Tie Jinjue said this was because he didn't want Tie Wandao and Li Pingrun to doubt him because he didn't speak before. He took the opportunity of Tie Wandao's words to "explain" his previous silence. Of course, this was also considered speaking for Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao thought: How did Elder Tie see that I was suppressing my anger? Actually, I didn't show any obvious signs. Maybe he guessed that I might be as angry as Kong You was before, so he thought I was suppressing my anger, so he didn't say anything because he was worried about saying the wrong thing? That's not necessarily the case. Maybe Elder Tie just spoke up for me because he was worried that Li Pingrun would doubt what I said? After all, he spoke up for me on important occasions before, and he played an important role.
