Chapter 2229 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty Nine) Confidence

Nie Huihou walked to a place where the candle couldn’t reach, then turned around quickly, looked at Quan Chumeng under the candlelight, and said, “How annoying!”

Quan Chumeng quickly said to Nie Huihou, who was in the darker place, in a calm tone: “Elder Nie, although I also feel helpless, we can think of the bright side of things. Now you can still increase your power at a normal speed.”

Nie Huihao went to a darker place and stayed there for a while before calming down a little. He said, “Normal speed?”

After hearing what Nie Huihou said, Quan Chumeng thought that Nie Huihou might accept what he was going to say next, so he said, “Yeah, actually, if you think about it, in this situation, it’s not bad to be able to increase your power at a normal rate. At least… it’s increasing.”

Nie Huihou sighed in the dark and said, “It’s already like this! You don’t have any other way to solve it. What else can I do if I don’t practice it?”

After saying that, he walked towards Quan Chumeng from a place where the candles could not reach, and said, “I will just practice today, and you quickly find the cause! Once you find the cause, quickly solve the problem, do you understand?”

Quan Chumeng felt that the reason would be hard to find. He thought that if he agreed to Nie Huihou right now, he would be more likely to arouse Nie Huihou’s suspicion if he could not do it later, so he said: “I… I will try my best!”

Unexpectedly, Nie Huihou immediately shouted, “Try your best? Why do you say that so unconfidently? Can you guarantee that you can find the problem?”

Quan Chumeng knew that it would be difficult to find the problem because he had performed the ritual before. He really wanted to tell Nie Huihao that he could not guarantee to find the problem. However, he was worried that Nie Huihao would get even angrier and would treat him badly, so he just said, “Elder Nie, I don’t know anything yet. I can only say that I will try my best.”

Nie Huihou said, “Is it that troublesome? Do you need to go to Muxi Pavilion to perform the ritual?”

Quan Chumeng said: “No need.”

Nie Huihou said, “You didn’t even go to Muxi Pavilion to see what’s going on.” Quan Chumeng said, “Elder Nie, there is no difference between me performing a ritual here on Muxi Pavilion and performing a ritual there.”

Nie Huihao, who wanted to practice immediately, suddenly changed his mind and planned to practice later. He said, “Then you should quickly perform a ritual for Muxi Pavilion to see what’s going on!”

“I have just performed a ritual and found that there is indeed a problem. I have been performing a ritual to help you practice martial arts at the beginning of today. However, the space in the Muxi Pavilion that contains Gong Hunyu is not larger than yesterday. But I really can’t figure out what the problem is through the ritual.” Quan Chumeng said.

“I didn’t understand it just now, try again now!” Nie Huihou said.

“You won’t know even if you try,” said Quan Chumeng.

“You’re just too lazy to try, right?” Nie Huihou said.

Quan Chumeng said, “No. I just don’t want to delay your practice. If you continue to practice now, I can continue to perform the ritual beside you.”

“It doesn’t matter if you perform a ritual next to me now!” Nie Huihou said, “What can you do? Can it help me improve my skills faster?”

“It can increase your power at a normal speed.” Quan Chumeng said. He once again mentioned “normal speed” to Nie Huihou, hoping that Nie Huihou would no longer think that normal speed was slow, and that he would change his previous thinking and not go back.

Unexpectedly, Nie Huihou said, “Even if you practice now, your skills can only increase slowly. Why rush? I’ll ask you to try again now to see if you can figure out what went wrong.”
