Chapter 2392 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety-Two) Obedient

Therefore, not long after Tie Wandao knew that Tie Hongyan wore the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone and chanted a short spell to test that the bowl was not affected by the spell, he sent someone to inform Li Pingrun that he didn’t need to come on the “tomorrow” he had mentioned.

On the day when Tie Wandao finally had some time, Li Pingrun was called by people sent by Tie Wandao again.

After the three of them said those words at first, Li Pingrun also learned from Tie Jinjue that Tie Hongyan wore the Yuanshuang Mingxin Stone and chanted a short spell to test whether the bowl was related to magic.

Seeing Tie Wandao’s performance, Li Pingrun thought that Tie Wandao had already known that the bowl was not related to magic.

At this time, Li Pingrun thought: The clan leader must have known that the bowl had nothing to do with magic and was safe, so he was not in a hurry to let me test it again. In this case, maybe he would not let me test it again today, which is good, so I can spend less energy. However, if the clan leader really does not let me test it again, won’t he feel that he is not having enough face? What’s more, this is in front of Elder Tie.

Tie Wandao was thinking about other things at the time and felt that he needed to go to the basement of Muxi Pavilion to check the situation, so he did not immediately ask Li Pingrun to test the bowl again.

Li Pingrun thought: You really don’t want me to test it again? This is indeed good, I don’t have to waste my energy.

Later, in the room where the remains of the suicide victim were previously placed, Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue, “I said before that I would burn the remains of the suicide victim. Since the other remains are missing, the bowl with the engraved pattern is the only one left. You can take it out. After I let Li Pingrun do what he should do, we will burn it.”

After hearing this, Li Pingrun immediately felt that the thing that Tie Wandao and Tie Jinjue mentioned in “Wait until I let Li Pingrun do what he should do” was most likely to test whether the bowl was related to magic.

Li Pingrun had just thought of this when he heard Tie Wandao say to him, “You know what you should do, right?”

Li Pingrun felt that what he thought was probably correct, so he said, “Does the clan leader want me to test whether the bowl is related to magic?”

Tie Wandao said: “You haven’t forgotten!”

“Of course I won’t forget.” Li Pingrun said.

“I was wondering if you thought that although I told you to take the test, I wouldn’t let you take it anymore.” Tie Wandao said.

Li Pingrun had indeed thought about this before, but he naturally didn’t want to tell Tie Wandao that he had really thought about it, so he said: “The clan leader asked me to test it, and I am ready. That time I could only test it twice within the twelve hours. Now is the perfect time to test it again, so of course I have to test it.”

Tie Wandao said, “You are quite obedient. Not bad. I told you to come before, but later I sent someone to tell you not to come because I don’t have time. If I want to watch you take the test, I have to find a time when I have time. Once I don’t have time, I will naturally send someone to tell you not to come. Everything must be based on my time as the clan leader. Today I have time, so you have to come if I ask you to. I am asking you to take the test now, so you have to take it.”

Before, Li Pingrun wondered if Tie Wandao would feel embarrassed because he didn’t actually let him take the test “tomorrow” despite having agreed to do so. But after hearing what Tie Wandao said, Li Pingrun realized that Tie Wandao would not let him feel embarrassed. In this matter, what he wanted was probably “another kind of face”.
