Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2870 (Two Thousand Eight Hundred and Seventy) Wiping Sweat
Li Pingjun wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Tie Wandao continued, "After I appoint a Taoist priest, if the priest dies, I will have to find another Taoist priest to do the job. Don't you think so?"

Li Pingrun felt that his sweat was not wiped clean, so he wiped it again.

"Don't just wipe your sweat off your face, answer my question, okay?" Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun nodded.

"Just nodding?" Tie Wandao said, "I am the clan leader, and you are silent when I speak to you like this?"

"Speak..." Li Pingrun said, "Yes..."

"Isn't that right?" Tie Wandao said, "If that Taoist priest is still alive, I, as the clan leader who has spoken out, will naturally let that Taoist priest do it, don't you think?"

"Yes..." Li Pingrun had no choice but to say.

After saying this, he felt regretful again, because once he said this, it meant that as long as he was alive, he would have to continue doing such things for Tie Wandao. However, if he didn't say "yes", he might not live long.

"You're smart. You understand what I mean at a glance." Tie Wandao said grimly, "You're still alive. I told you to do it, so you have to do it. If you don't plan to do it, and don't take me, the clan leader, seriously, and make me lose face by making my words go as if they were nothing, then it's not that I can't let someone else do it. Of course, when one person dies, I find another person to do it. That's normal, isn't it?"

Li Pingrun felt extremely uncomfortable, but he still said "yes" helplessly.

At this moment, Li Pingrun suddenly thought of Tie Jinjue: If Elder Tie was here, he would definitely speak for me, and I wouldn't be forced into this situation. I always thought Elder Tie was very kind to me... I really don't know what to do now, so I have to agree to the clan leader, but what should I do next? Li Pingrun was very nervous, and he didn't know what to do next.

"You are a smart person. It would be better if you just agreed to it as soon as possible. Why should I waste my time with you?" Tie Wandao said, "Since you have agreed, I will not say much. Just come whenever I ask you to. I know that sometimes you cannot be disturbed when you are doing a ritual. Don't worry, I will send someone to watch over you. I am so good to you, why don't you thank me?"

"Thank you, clan leader!" Li Pingrun said helplessly.

Tie Wandao asked: "Then tell me, what are you afraid of today?"

Li Pingrun really didn't know what to say, and said, "I... I'm worried... worried that I might offend the clan leader!" He couldn't tell Tie Wandao the real situation, but he couldn't lie to him either, so he said "I'm worried that I might offend the clan leader if I stop working for him" instead of what he originally wanted to say.

"Why do you think you will offend me?" Tie Wandao asked.

"I..." Li Pingrun said, "I'm worried that I might displease the clan leader."

He didn't dare to lie. He wanted to say that he was "worried that the patriarch would be unhappy if he no longer worked for him", but he said "I am worried that I will make the patriarch unhappy."

Tie Wandao said, "What is there to worry about? Are you afraid that you won't be able to find out what I want to know after performing the ritual?"

Li Pingrun didn't dare to nod or shake his head. He just looked at Tie Wandao with horror and said, "I..."
