Chapter 2247 (Two Thousand Two Hundred and Forty-Seven) Expression

Li Pingrun said: “No need, as long as we protect the top floor first, there is no need to make other preparations.

Tie Wandao suddenly felt that Li Pingrun’s protection of the top floor might itself be a problem, so he said, “You promised me before that you would not use magic after reaching the top floor of Muxi Pavilion. However, before going to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion, you performed a ritual to protect the top floor of Muxi Pavilion. Does this count as performing a ritual in advance?”

Li Pingrun said: “The ritual I performed to protect the top floor of Muxi Pavilion is completely different from the ritual I performed after reaching the top floor of Muxi Pavilion.”

Tie Wandao asked again: “If you use magic to protect the top floor, it won’t affect the result you see when you take the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion, right?”

“No.” Li Pingrun replied, “That spell is only used to prevent others from affecting me when I reach the top floor of Muxi Pavilion. It will not affect what I see when I reach the top floor of Muxi Pavilion with the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone.”

After a few more words were spoken, Tie Wandao mentioned that Tie Jinjue would also go to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion to take a look.

Although Tie Wandao basically believed in Li Pingrun, the last time the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone emitted a pink light was really strange. So when he said this, Tie Wandao deliberately looked at Li Pingrun’s expression in the candlelight, trying to see if he showed any signs of unwillingness.

When Li Pingrun heard Tie Wandao say that Tie Jinjue would go up with Li Pingrun, he didn’t have any special reaction. He knew that Tie Jinjue might be the person that Tie Wandao had told him to keep an eye on him, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

Later, as mentioned before, Li Pingrun used magic to protect the top floor of Muxi Pavilion.

When midnight arrived, Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun if it would take a long time to go up there, and Li Pingrun said no.

Tie Wandao asked this because he was worried about how long the candles here could stay lit. He then asked Li Pingrun whether the candles would go out by then.

The candles that Li Pingrun brought were originally very large and burned for a very long time.

Tie Wandao was relieved when Li Pingrun said that most of the candles must have been lit before they came down from the top floor. Before Li Pingrun went up, Tie Wandao said, “Take out the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone now.”

Li Pingrun did as he was told and took out the silver-shining “shell” with a chain.

“Open it.” Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun pressed the button where the two “shells” were connected.

After a “click” sound, the two doors of the “shell” separated, and the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone fixed inside the “shell” was revealed.

“Just leave it open like this, put it in your hand, carry it up, and don’t put it anywhere else.” Tie Wandao said.

Tie Wandao spoke to Tie Jinjue again, asking him to pay attention to Li Pingrun’s behavior, and Tie Jinjue agreed.

Li Pingrun walked towards the top floor of Muxi Pavilion holding the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone with the “shell”. Along the way, the hand holding the opened shell was always stretched out. In this way, under the light of the candle held by Tie Jinjue, he could see the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone inside very clearly.

Li Pingrun and Tie Jinjue went to the top floor of Muxi Pavilion together. Li Pingrun stared at the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone in the shell and did not find any change in it.

After reaching the top floor of Muxi Pavilion, Li Pingrun not only paid attention to the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone, but also paid attention to the situation on the top floor of Muxi Pavilion, but he did not feel any changes on the top floor of Muxi Pavilion.
