Chapter 2949 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Forty-Nine) Out of the Circle

“Yeah, I think so too.” Tie Hongyan said.

“What on earth could cause him to react like this?” Tie Jinjue said as he thought.

“I really can’t understand it.” Tie Hongyan replied.

Tie Jinjue asked, “How do you react when you see him in this situation?”

Tie Hongyan said: “I remember that I didn’t act anything special at the time, and I didn’t say anything else. I just waited quietly for him to speak.”

“Then did he continue talking?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“Yes.” Tie Hongyan said, “He started talking again, but after a while he suddenly apologized to me.”

“Sorry?” Tie Jinjue asked, “Is it because he realized that he seemed too abnormal?”

“Maybe.” Tie Hongyan said, “I didn’t ask in detail.”

“What did he say before and after he said sorry? What’s the reason why he didn’t say sorry proactively?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“The reason why he didn’t take the initiative to say sorry is that I think he was apologizing to me because of the pause he made earlier.” Tie Hongyan said, “Apart from the serious matter he wanted to tell me, he only said the three words ‘young clan leader’ before saying ‘sorry!’ and he didn’t continue talking immediately after saying ‘sorry!'”

Tie Jinjue said: “What’s your reaction?”

“I first told him ‘it’s okay’, and then asked him if he was tired from the journey and if he needed to rest first,” said Tie Hongyan.

“What about him?” Tie Jinjue asked, “How did he answer?”

“He said to me: ‘If it’s possible…'” Tie Hongyan replied, “Then I told him that it was okay, and told him to take a rest first, and then he could continue to teach us after he had rested.”

“What was Li Fangshi’s reaction after hearing what you said?” Tie Jinjue asked again. “He seemed a little embarrassed and said to me: ‘Well…thank you, young clan leader! But…” Tie Hongyan said.

“What did you say?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“I told him to just talk.” Tie Hongyan said.

“Did he just say it all?” Tie Jinjue asked again.

“Yes.” Tie Hongyan said, “He said that since we have entered this orange circle, Wu Xunsheng and I cannot leave the circle before he continues to perform the ritual.”

Tie Jinjue said: “When he is resting, can’t you guys go out of the circle?”

“Yes.” Tie Hongyan said, “He didn’t let us out of the circle, probably because he had already performed a spell. I guess, if we were to leave the circle halfway, the effect of the previous spell might not last? I don’t know if this is the case, this is just my guess.”

Tie Jinjue asked: “Did you agree to his request immediately? What was your reaction?”

Tie Hongyan nodded and said, “I said, ‘Oh, so, I won’t leave the circle, and I will also remind Xunsheng not to leave the circle.’ I would call him ‘Xunsheng’ in front of Li Fangshi. I also told Li Fangshi to let him rest and perform the ritual after he’s rested. I agreed to him at the time, but I was actually on guard.”

“Then he just rested there?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“No.” Tie Hongyan said, “At first I thought he would rest there, but I didn’t expect him to ask me: ‘Can I stay over there for a while?'”

Tie Jinjue said, “Does he want to get out of that circle himself?”

Tie Hongyan said: “He just wants to leave the circle and rest somewhere farther away from us.”

Tie Jinjue said: “He doesn’t let you go out of the circle, why does he want to go out of the circle himself…”
