Chapter 2618 Responsibility

Nie Huihou thought: He didn’t even do what I taught him to do, and he still wants to rest? Forget it, let him rest for a while. He had that incident that day, and it can be seen that his physical condition is not very good. If I don’t let him rest, if he has any problems, it will affect my practice of Mingzun Juelu Secret Skill.

However, Nie Huihou didn’t want to agree to let him rest directly, so he said, “You are so sharp-tongued. If you don’t rest, will something happen?”

Quan Chu thought: Since Elder Nie asked this, does that mean he wants me to rest? I certainly can’t deny it, but if I don’t have this little rest time, I won’t have any problems. If I tell Elder Nie directly that if I don’t rest now, my body will have problems, then Elder Nie will think I’m lying to him!
So Quan Chumeng said, “It’s very likely.”

“In that case, I have to prevent anything from happening to you. My progress in practicing the Mingzun Juelu secret technique has slowed down, and I can’t achieve the same ‘quick improvement’ as before. If something happens to you, won’t my slow practice be affected?” Nie Huihou said.

“Yes.” Quan Chumeng quickly replied.

“Then you should take a rest.” Nie Huihou said, “But once you are able to do that thing, you must do it immediately.”

“Yes, Elder Nie.” Nie Huibiao said.

After the two of them rested for a while, Nie Huihou remembered something and asked Quan Chumeng, “If something really went wrong in Tiecang Court, but you acted too late, would there be any consequences?”

Quan Chu thought: I don’t know if the situation is what I imagined, I don’t know the specific situation, how can I answer? Besides, even if there are consequences if I do it too late, what can I do? Should I not do it?

Quan Chumeng said, “I hope it won’t be like this.”

Nie Huihou said: “What if there are any consequences?”

Quan Chumeng said, “This was all caused by the thunder that day.” “If you put the blame on the thunder, then you are not responsible?” Nie Huihou asked, “Who told you to do the ritual right before the thunder!”

Quan Chumeng said, “Elder Nie asked me to perform a ritual at that time.”

“Me?” Nie Huihou said, “I don’t know any magic. I asked you to perform a spell, but you don’t have to perform a spell if you feel there might be a problem.”

“I listened to Elder Nie, and I was in this underground room at the time and couldn’t see the sky. I didn’t expect that there would be thunder as soon as I started to perform the ritual.” Quan Chumeng said.

Nie Huihou asked: “Listen to me? Can’t you blame me for this? Can’t you manage your time well?”

“I don’t mean to blame Elder Nie.” Quan Chumeng said.

“Then tell me, whose responsibility is it?” Nie Huihou asked.

“It’s Lei’s responsibility.” Quan Chumeng said.

Nie Huihou said: “There are only you and me here. If there were other people around, do you believe that they would laugh out loud?”

Quan Chu thought: What’s so funny? It’s obvious that Elder Nie is responsible, so I can’t say anything. I pushed the responsibility onto Lei, which is already giving him enough face, but he still thinks what I said is ridiculous!
However, Quan Chumeng decided to continue to endure and immediately said, “Although it sounds funny, what I said is the truth. If it wasn’t for the thunder when I was performing the ritual, I should have understood what I needed to understand, and my body would not have been affected.”
