Chapter 3489 (Three Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine) Blame
This was another guess from her.

"Yes, it cannot be changed." Ning Duanye said.

"Are there any specific requirements before doing any movements?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Ning Duanye said, "There are requirements before doing the last three movements."

"What's the request?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"I have to wait until my body feels a certain reaction after the previous action is completed before it is suitable to do the next action." Ning Duanye said.

"What's the reaction?" Tie Hongyan asked, "Tell me."

Ning Duanye said: "After I finish touching my neck, I must wait until I feel the Yongquan point on my right foot getting hot before I can touch my right face. After touching my right face, I must wait until I feel the Yongquan point on my left foot getting hot before I can touch my left face. Then I must wait until the Baihui point on the top of my head gets hot before I can touch my forehead."

"What is the purpose of combining the four actions?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"To further test whether my premonition is trustworthy." Ning Duanye replied.

"Are you using magic?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Ning Duanye said.

"I didn't see you chanting the spell. Did you recite it silently?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes, I recited the spell silently before I touched my neck." Ning Duanye replied.

"When did you think of using this magic to test whether your premonition is trustworthy?" Tie Hongyan asked. "When I was particularly nervous." Ning Duanye said.

"If you believed in that premonition, you wouldn't be so nervous. Was that what you thought at the time?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Yes." Ning Duanye said, "I do think so."

"In other words, you do those actions largely to relieve your tension?" Tie Hongyan asked.

Ning Duanye thought: She even guessed this!

"That's right." Ning Duanye replied.

"But after doing these actions, aren't you worried that people will think you're suspicious?" Tie Hongyan asked.

She wondered: Did Master Ning feel that if he didn't do these actions, he would appear nervous and would be more suspicious?

"I am worried." Ning Duanye answered. "But I am worried that my nervousness will make me look more suspicious."

Tie Hongyan thought: It is indeed so.

She understood this idea very well. She remembered that some people did not do anything that Tie Wandao did not want to see, but were suspected by Tie Wandao because they were timid in front of him. Later, something went wrong, and Tie Wandao thought that the person did it on purpose, so he killed him. Although she thought Ning Duanye would not know about that incident, he must have heard about some of the things Tie Wandao had done before, so he would naturally worry about being suspected by Tie Wandao.

Many people who work for Tie Wandao appear to be afraid. Tie Wandao feels proud when he sees others are afraid of him, but at the same time, he thinks others are timid. If some people appear too nervous in front of him, he will suspect that they have done something bad to him. In this case, if something goes wrong, he will sometimes directly blame the person he suspects. In some cases, he punishes people who work for him without any investigation. It is hard to say what degree of punishment he will use, and it is not uncommon to kill them directly. As for when he will suspect that someone has done something bad to him because he thinks they are too nervous, there is no pattern to follow, and it is often related to his mood.
