Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 2993 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Three) Sorrow
Tie Hongyan took out the big piece of paper where Ni Yuan had written something, took a look at it, and decided to start doing what she said when the time came.

She suddenly remembered that some things she needed were still in the center and needed to be taken in.

She thought it would be more convenient and more practical to take the things she needed back to her room at this time.

She wanted to use the Phantom Tassel Spear Technique to transfer those things to her own room. However, Ni Yuan had told her before that after she had completed the "first three steps" and before the "fourth step", if she used some martial arts such as the Phantom Tassel Spear Technique, it might affect the effect of the "fourth step" activity.

She thought it would be better not to take the risk of using the Phantom Tassel Spear Technique for such a small matter, so she decided to go to the inner residence to get it herself.

She was a little worried about meeting Wu Xunsheng again, and afraid that he would ask her about her situation again, so she opened the door quietly and looked at it for a while. Seeing that there was no movement in Wu Xunsheng's room, she quietly went into the inner room.

Tie Hongyan took those things carefully and placed them on the table closest to the door of his room.

Then she quietly went into the inner room, picked up a few other things, went into her own room, and placed these on the table.

She quickly closed the door and locked it, still very gently.

After closing the door, she was a little glad that she didn't meet Wu Xunsheng when she went out to get something.

Next, she looked at the big piece of paper that Ni Yuan had written on, thinking to herself: The time to start the fourth step is almost here. Fortunately, other activities besides "removing the marks" can be done with the door locked. She checked the door between her main room and the staff room and found that it was locked well, so she walked back to the table where the big piece of paper was placed and read the words on it.

When the time came, she began the first part of "Step 4".

She sat cross-legged as Ni Yuan had said before, placed the paper near herself, and started performing the movements.

As she was doing it, she felt pain and almost bit her lips again, but she realized that if she bit them again, it would be even harder to hide the pain the next day, so she just endured it. This pain was very different from the pain in the "second step" before. At this time, this feeling made her powerless to shout out. After a while, she felt that her mood was getting worse and worse. She felt that her heart was blocked by an unspeakable sadness. She wanted to cry but couldn't. Surrounded by sadness, Tie Hongyan thought about what Ni Yuan had told her before that these were all normal processes to go through and would not cause her any actual harm, so she told herself that she must hold on.

Although Ni Yuan said that the pain Tie Hongyan would experience during the "Fourth Step" would be much more severe than during the "Second Step", the greatest pain during the "Fourth Step" came from the "removal of scars" process. In the activities before the "removal of scars" part of the "Fourth Step", the pain she would feel was actually not that severe.

During the first part of the "Fourth Step", Tie Hongyan did not make a sound and completed it smoothly.

The moment she finished, not only did she no longer feel any pain, but her mood also suddenly improved.

She sat on the chair with the big piece of paper in her hand, looked over what she had done before, made sure that she had done nothing wrong, and let out a long sigh.
