Chapter 2240 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Forty) Strength
He didn’t specifically mention the door not opening, but continued with his previous words: “It seems there is a problem.”

Tie Jinjue had previously thought that Tie Wandao did not immediately enter the Muxi Pavilion because he suddenly thought of something else, but at this moment he suddenly thought: The clan leader did not enter the Muxi Pavilion just now, was it because he also found something wrong, so he left there first and asked the Taoist priest to try? Although the clan leader asked the Taoist priest “Why don’t you go in?”, this is not enough to prove that the clan leader did not find anything wrong there before. The clan leader has always been very proud, even if he asked others to do this because he felt something was wrong and worried about affecting his own safety, he probably would not show it, but directly let others do the thing.

Tie Wandao asked: “What’s the problem?”

Li Pingrun replied: “This door… I didn’t open this door.”

Tie Jinjue thought: Oh? Didn’t the clan leader not push me away just now, but didn’t show it because he was worried that he would lose face, and at the same time he was worried that it would be dangerous?
Tie Wandao said, “Really? It’s a problem if the door doesn’t open? Can’t you just push it again?”

Tie Jinjue thought: Did the clan leader say this because he really didn’t notice any problem there before, or was he just trying to cover it up?

Li Pingrun pushed it again, and then said, “It still didn’t open.”

Tie Wandao acted like he knew nothing and said impatiently: “Please use some strength. Is it a big deal to push the door? You are amazing!”

Li Pingrun pushed hard again, but still couldn’t push it open. He said to Tie Wandao, “Chief, I pushed hard, but still couldn’t push it open. I’ve pushed it several times, so there’s obviously something wrong.”

Tie Wandao showed a helpless look and said, “You pushed it several times? I didn’t even hear the door’s sound. Even if you didn’t push it open, if you really used a lot of strength, at least the door would have made a sound, right?”

Li Pingrun said: “Chief, I used so much force, but the door didn’t make any sound. This is a problem in itself!”

Tie Wandao said, “Try harder, let me see that you are trying hard, and give it a try.”

Li Pingrun knew that the reason why the door could not be opened at this moment was not because he did not use enough strength, but since Tie Wandao had said so, he could not disobey him. So this time, Li Pingrun deliberately took a few steps back, and then as if he had gathered all his strength, he rushed towards the door of Muxi Pavilion and pushed the door with the hand that was not holding the torch.

However, the door of Muxi Pavilion was as if no one had touched it. Not only did it not open, but it also made no sound at all.

Tie Jinjue thought: This time, Li Pingrun obviously used a lot of strength. If the clan leader still said that he didn’t use enough strength, it would be abnormal. In that case, it should mean that the clan leader really discovered something before. I think in this case, even if the clan leader really discovered something before, he shouldn’t say again in front of me that Li Pingrun didn’t use enough strength, right? He should know that if he continues to say that, it will expose what happened before.

Just as Tie Jinjue thought, Tie Wandao thought that if he continued to say that Li Pingrun didn’t use enough strength, it would arouse Tie Jinjue and Li Pingrun’s suspicion, so he said: “It can be seen that you used a lot of strength this time, but this door really didn’t make any sound. It seems that as you said just now, there must be a problem. You are a Taoist priest, can you tell what the problem is?”
