Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2974 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy Four) Favor

"Master, no matter if I dye that incense stick into poisonous black or not, I will listen to what you said back then and put that incense stick straight!" Li Pingrun said.

So he really walked closer to the incense burner, stretched out his hand, and placed the incense stick straight.

At that moment, it was as if he had straightened his own shadow.

When he took his hand off, he felt that there was nothing unusual about the incense.

He looked at his hands and found that there was not much difference between his hands today and yesterday. He thought: If there is any difference, it is probably that they are older than yesterday... but I can't see it. Hands will age, but what about the heart? Maybe a soft heart is not easy to age? My heart is not necessarily completely black and hard, right?
"I have never forgotten many of the things my master taught me. Over the years, even when I was walking on that poisonous black road, I still adhered to certain principles. Although sometimes I speak tactfully, I will avoid talking about things I don't want to say, there are some things I say hesitantly, and sometimes I will change the way I say things, but I will not lie blatantly!" said Li Pingrun.

At this point, he felt that the so-called advantages he saw in himself were actually nothing. He seemed to hear his master criticizing him, so he continued, "That's right, Master. For those who practice our kind of magic, whoever lies will pay an extremely high price and die. Master, you have said a lot to me, which has made me develop the habit of honesty. I am honest to everyone, which is actually to save my life. I will never lie blatantly. Maybe it's just because I have a strong desire to survive? No... no... not! People like me, in any case, can't be considered as people with a strong desire to survive. If I really have a strong desire to survive, how could I have walked on that black road full of venom so many years ago? But... in fact, when I walked on that road, was it also for survival? No... how can it be considered for survival... it's more like seeking death! It's just that when I walked, I didn't realize that it was a road that would kill me. When people don't realize it themselves, other people's advice is sometimes not of much use. Then do I have any other advantages?"

Li Pingrun looked at the incense stick that he had straightened, thinking...

After thinking for a while, he said, "Master, do you think that remembering the kindness others have shown me is a good thing for me?"

However, as soon as he finished saying this, Li Pingrun felt ashamed and quickly said, "Should I not have said such a thing? Master, would you think that if I really remembered your kindness to me, I would never set foot on that road stained by poison?"

Li Pingrun sighed deeply, took a few steps back, and the heel of his right foot touched the cushion.

He looked back at the cushion, as if worried that it had been defiled by him, and moved his right foot forward a little, creating a short distance between him and the cushion.

Li Pingrun looked at the incense again and said, "Master, although I took the wrong path and did many wrong things, I actually... I really remember your kindness to me! I may have done bad things, but I still remember it. I can't lie to myself. I really remember it!"
