Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 4254 (Four Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty Four) Default

The man who went to ask Yue Kuangfan about the matter didn't say anything. He just looked at their expressions, listened to other people's conversations, and thought about things.

He thought: In a place like Tiecangting, it seems that it is not so important for people like us to tell the truth to ordinary people, but it is necessary to tell the truth to the powerful in order to reduce the danger for ourselves, right? Not necessarily. If the truth we tell makes the powerful unhappy, people like us may not know how they will be treated. It seems that whether people like us tell the truth to the powerful is not the most important thing. It seems that it is more important not to let others think that we will tell lies to the powerful. Just like them, before I told the truth just now, most of them looked like that... they must have misunderstood me. However, after I told the truth, they probably thought that only when they said that no one had tried to find Yin Pairen, like me, could it be considered as "rigorously" telling the truth. In this case, the two answers they thought of before, "can't find" and "can find", were covered with a layer of deceiving Yue Shelan. Perhaps because of this, their attitudes were inconsistent, and they all wanted to show in front of others that they had thought from the beginning that they should tell Yue Shelan the truth "rigorously", instead of saying what they thought before that might be considered as deceiving Yue Shelan?

Just as the man who went to Yue Kuangfan to ask questions was thinking, the two men were still talking.

The person who said "Do you think that's what he said to Yue Shelan?" said, "Of course! I thought before that he would tell Yue Shelan that we haven't tried it before! Didn't you think of it? If you didn't think of it, then what were you thinking? You just think that what he said deceived Yue Shelan, right? If you think so, you are wrong! At that time, no matter what he said to Yue Shelan about whether we could find Yin Pairen or not at other times, it was actually a lie. Although we always say that we can't find Yin Pairen at all, that's just what we imagined, and we didn't really look for him! Even if what we thought was right, we can't tell Yue Shelan that we can't find it before we try to find it! Saying it without trying, what's the difference between that and cheating?
The person who said, "If you misunderstood him, don't think that I would misunderstand him as you did?" said, "Why are you asking me? You know it yourself. Anyway, I never misunderstood him. I just thought that he would tell the truth to Yue Shelan. I don't think he would deceive Yue Shelan. This is because if I were to do this myself, I would definitely not deceive Yue Shelan."

While these two people were talking, no one else said a word. Those who had previously said that the person who asked Yue Kuangfan should answer "can't find it" were even more afraid to speak casually, for fear that their words would attract other people's attention. The more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong. After all, everyone had previously agreed that the "truth" that the person who asked Yue Kuangfan should tell Yue Kuangfan was "can't find it". However, after a while, the "truth" that everyone had agreed that the person who asked Yue Kuangfan should tell Yue Kuangfan had become "no one tried to find it". This change made those people feel that some of their previous behaviors might be considered as something that shouldn't have happened.
