Chapter 3064 (Three Thousand and Sixty-Four) Xu Yu
“Of course not!” Li Pingrun said, “In my heart, Elder Tie has always been my benefactor! In the current situation, I only perform this ritual to protect myself, and it will definitely not harm Elder Tie.”

“Will you be able to find out about my private matters through this ritual?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“Absolutely not!” Li Pingrun said, “In fact, I can’t even directly understand what I want to know just by performing the ritual. I have to ask Elder Tie questions during the period after performing the ritual to understand.”

“Will you keep my answer to you a secret?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“It must be kept secret!” Li Pingrun said.

After that, Li Pingrun took out an iron stick from his bag, handed it to Tie Jinjue, and said, “Elder Tie, this stick is called the ‘Xu Yu Stick’. If I do something dishonest to you during the ritual, this stick will emit a green light and point to me. At this time, you just need to touch the two ends of it together and I will die on the spot.”

Tie Jinjue took the Xuyu skewer and looked at it, and found that it was a very soft iron skewer. It looked easy to bend, but difficult to break.

Tie Jinjue didn’t think he had to use this thing. After all, Li Pingrun had performed magic in front of him before. However, since Li Pingrun gave it to him, he decided to keep it for the time being.

Seeing that Li Pingrun spoke sincerely, Tie Jinjue nodded and asked, “How long will the ritual take?”

“Very fast.” Li Pingrun said, “But I need to ask Elder Tie some questions after the ritual. I wonder if Elder Tie is willing to cooperate.”

Tie Jinjue asked, “In order to make you speak out your mind, I am naturally willing to cooperate. But if I cooperate with you and the test results show that I can reassure you, can you guarantee that you will tell me everything you want to say?”

“Yes!” Li Pingrun said, “I have made my promise. It will definitely work!”

“What kind of questions would you ask?” Tie Jinjue asked.

Li Pingrun said, “My method is limited. I can only ask about the situation before and after I became abnormal because of my thoughts, but I cannot understand by asking about the situation on the same day. I had such a situation yesterday, so I can only ask about yesterday. Only if Elder Tie has been to the place where I was when I became abnormal because of my thoughts yesterday, can I get the answer I want by asking such questions. Elder Tie must have been to the room where I taught the young clan leader and the young clan leader Yingyinqian today, right?”

“I’ve been there.” Tie Jinjue said.

“Then I feel more assured. I know Elder Tie has been there today, but I was there yesterday when something unusual happened. If it was the first time Elder Tie went to that room today, then the information I learned from asking questions might not be accurate. Elder Tie had been there before I had any unusual experience there, so the information I learned would be accurate.” Li Pingrun said, “In fact, I had already thought that Elder Tie must have been there before, and I asked just to make sure.”

“If I had never been to that room, would it be impossible for you to ask questions through rituals to find out whether it is dangerous to tell me too much?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“Yes, Elder Tie.” Li Pingrun said, “Then I have to think of other ways, but I may not be able to find other ways. The reason why I said I have to do this is because it can achieve my goal.”
