Chapter 2260 Face
“‘Oh’ what? What did I ask you to see?” Tie Wandao said.

“Chief, do you want me to see those candles?” Li Pingrun said.

“Why did I let you look at those candles?” Tie Wandao said.

“Did I not arrange it well before?” Li Pingrun said, “Then I will arrange it again!”

Li Pingrun really wanted to get away from Tie Wandao as soon as possible so that he wouldn’t have to continue answering his questions, so he closed the two doors of the “shell”, held the “shell” in his hand, and walked towards the direction of the candles.

“Stop!” Tie Wandao said, “Who said you didn’t do it well? What are you thinking?”

Li Pingrun immediately stopped and stared at Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao said: “Next time you say you did something wrong, please consider my face. Although only you and I can hear this, you can’t do anything that will hurt my reputation. After all, I am the clan leader.”

Before Li Pingrun could figure out how he had embarrassed him, Tie Wandao said, “You said you didn’t arrange it well? Do you remember that you checked the candles in the Muxi Pavilion as I asked you to do, replaced some of them, and asked me to see if it was ok, and I said ‘ok’?”

“Remember.” Li Pingrun said.

“Since I have said it’s okay, then I approve of this matter. I have approved it. You still say that you didn’t do it well. That is denying my words. You deny my words in front of me, the clan leader. That is disregarding my face!” Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun was shocked when he heard this and thought: How could you think like this? I really didn’t expect this!

Li Pingrun said: “I’m sorry, clan leader, I really don’t mean to deny your words.”

“No matter what you were thinking when you said that, you were not giving me face by saying that. Fortunately, your voice was low this time, so only you and I heard it. Elder Tie was concentrating on practicing and should not have heard it. If there were other people around, where would I put my face? Anyway, I’m telling you, you should pay attention to this aspect in the future, okay?” Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun had no choice but to say, “I understand.” Tie Wandao asked, “Then tell me, why did I let you look at those candles just now?”

Li Pingrun was worried that he might have said something wrong, so he just said, “I hope the clan leader will explain it clearly.”

Tie Wandao said: “You can’t even tell! Look at what the candles look like now. Were they like this when you put them up before?”

Li Pingrun said, “No.”

“Why is it like this now?” Tie Wandao said.

“Because the candle is burning.” Li Pingrun said.

“If the time is short, can it burn like this?” Tie Wandao asked.

Li Pingrun said, “Does the clan leader think that I have stayed on the top floor of Muxi Pavilion for too long?”

Tie Wandao said coldly: “What do you think?”

Li Pingrun flattened the palm of his hand holding the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone and said, “Chief, I was holding it on the top floor to test whether it would change. I was very serious about it. I took it to many places, so it took a long time. I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. I hope you can forgive me!”

“The question is, have you figured out anything?” Tie Wandao said, “If you really figured out something, it wouldn’t hurt to stay up longer. But you stayed up there for such a long time, but you can’t say anything after coming down. So was your stay there in vain?”

Li Pingrun thought: If I don’t try for a while longer, even if it really glows, I may not be able to see it.
