Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 3058 (Three Thousand and Fifty-Eight) Life
Li Pingrun originally wanted to say that sometimes he didn't have many choices when working for the clan leader in Tiecangting, but he didn't dare to let the word "clan leader" appear in such words.

"Do you mean that I have no choice but to do things for the patriarch?" Tie Jinjue asked.

Li Pingrun was immediately struck by Tie Jinjue's words, but he did not dare to admit it directly. Instead, he said, "In fact, alchemists are like this. Sometimes they have no choice but to do things for various people. If that person is powerful, it is even more so."

"There are some things you don't want to do but have to do, right?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I understand that many people have times when they are forced to do things against their will, but when they feel they have taken the wrong path and have no way out, too many emotions will accumulate in their hearts, and these emotions will affect the practice of the Taoist priests." Li Pingrun did not say it directly.

Tie Jinjue could see that there were some things that Li Pingrun was not willing to do, but he had to do them. Of course, he thought of more things, especially after hearing Li Pingrun say that he had "taken the wrong path", he felt that this matter was related to his sister Li Gengmi.

He asked Li Pingrun: "You took the wrong road? How do you know you took the wrong road?"

"I am a Taoist priest. Whether I have taken the wrong path or not can be determined by looking at what happened later," said Li Pingrun.

"Is there any prophecy in the past?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I guess so." Li Pingrun said, "Some things can be proven later."

"Have you proved it?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"It has been proven." Li Pingrun said.

"Prove that the path you are taking is wrong?" Tie Jinjue asked again.

"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "I did take the wrong road."

"Which road did you take wrong?" Tie Jinjue asked.

Although Li Pingrun believed in Tie Jinjue, he knew very well that Tie Jinjue was the elder of the Tiecang tribe and had to manage the Tiecang tribe together with the tribe leader Tie Wandao. Naturally, he did not dare to say what he wanted to say without scruples.

He felt that he had taken the wrong path and that his life was in trouble, so he just said, "I feel... I have taken the wrong path in life." Tie Jinjue knew that Li Pingrun was not talking to him directly. He understood that Li Pingrun thought that he had a close relationship with Tie Wandao, and he could also understand why Li Pingrun would be cautious about what he said, so he continued to say some less specific words based on Li Pingrun's words.

"Is there no chance to take another path?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"I really want to take another path, but the consequences have already appeared and I no longer have any chance," said Li Pingrun.

"How do you know there is no chance?" Tie Jinjue said, "Sometimes opportunities don't appear where you can see them at first glance."

Li Pingjun shook his head painfully and said, "I think even if I can see a thousand miles away, I'm afraid I won't see any chance."

“Just because you haven’t seen it yet doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist,” Tie Jinjue said.

"I don't know where to find it." Li Pingrun said, "and the consequences of the previous incident made me feel guilty."

"Guilt?" Tie Jinjue asked, "Do you feel sorry for others?"

"Yes." Li Pingrun replied.

"Who do you feel sorry for?" Tie Jinjue asked.

"More than one person." Li Pingrun said.

"Is there anyone among them that you feel particularly sorry for?" Tie Jinjue asked again.

"Yes!" Li Pingrun said, his eyes filled with pain.

"Who?" Tie Jinjue asked, "Can you tell me?"
