Chapter 2391 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-One) Competition

If other people did this, Li Pingrun might not think it was so new, but Tie Wandao was different. Li Pingrun had long known that Tie Wandao was a very face-conscious person. If he told someone to do something, generally speaking, even if that person had difficulty doing it, Tie Wandao would force them to do it. Li Pingrun felt that since Tie Wandao had told him to do it “tomorrow”, he had to do it no matter what. He had thought that Tie Wandao would feel that he was not having face after he suddenly sent someone to tell him that he didn’t have to do it “tomorrow”, but Tie Wandao didn’t think so.

The reason why Tie Wandao didn’t feel that he didn’t have enough face was because he had made himself feel more face-worthy from another perspective.

Not long after Tie Jinjue asked Tie Hongyan to wear the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone and recite a short spell to test whether the bowl was related to magic, Tie Jinjue let Tie Wandao know the result.

As soon as he knew the result, Tie Wandao felt relieved. He was already very busy at the time, and he thought about what he had said before, that he would let Li Pingrun come to test whether the bowl was related to magic “tomorrow”. After he knew that Tie Hongyan had tested that the bowl was not related to magic, he believed the result of the test. At this time, he felt that it was actually unnecessary to let Li Pingrun come to test it again “tomorrow” as he had said.

Originally, even if Li Pingrun came to test the bowl again, Tie Wandao didn’t have to be there at that time, but Tie Wandao didn’t think so. He felt that when he told Li Pingrun to come “tomorrow”, he had already shown a kind of competition. He thought that if he was not there, Li Pingrun would not be able to feel his authority, and at the same time, he would not be able to further experience his sense of face. But Tie Wandao was really busy, and he had no time to see Li Pingrun “tomorrow”. He couldn’t spare any time.

At this time, Tie Wandao thought: Anyway, I already know that the bowl has nothing to do with magic, and I have already made up my mind. I still have a lot of things to do. If I have to temporarily put down my work and meet Li Pingrun just because I said “tomorrow” to let him come, wouldn’t that make Li Pingrun lose face? What about my face? No, even if I said “tomorrow” to let him come, but I am really busy “tomorrow”, I can change my mind temporarily and ask Li Pingrun not to come, because it is not convenient for me! He will come when I want him to come. After I told him to come, I don’t want him to come anymore. I won’t accommodate him for what I said. I will send someone to tell him not to come, so that I will appear more face! This feeling of not letting him come when I don’t want him to come is much better than me putting down my work and accommodating him! Of course, my doing this does not mean that the matter is over. Not meeting him is only temporary. He should not think that he will not have to test the bowl again in the future. When the time comes when I want him to come again, I will send someone to notify him again. When he comes, I will naturally ask him to test the bowl at about the same time. Even if he already knows the result of Hong Yan wearing the Far Frost Bright Heart Stone and chanting a short spell, he still has to test it. Didn’t he say last time that he can only test it twice within twelve hours? Anyway, the next time I ask him to come will definitely be after those twelve hours. He will definitely not think of escaping from the test. He still has to do what I ask him to do. In fact, this way I will have more face!
