Chapter 2956 (Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty Six)

Tie Hongyan replied: “The two orange circles disappeared.”

“Then what?” Tie Jinjue asked again.

“Master Li used two metal bars to point at the orange circle where he was before, and the orange circle disappeared. He stopped chanting the spell, and the ritual ended.” Tie Hongyan said, “Master Li extinguished the candle, turned around and asked me how I felt. I told him how I felt. Then Wu Xunsheng asked Master Li if he should tell me how he felt. Master Li nodded, and Wu Xunsheng told me how he felt.”

“When Li Fangshi heard you express your feelings, was his expression normal?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“I feel that when he listened to me talking about my feelings, he didn’t seem as natural as when he listened to Wu Xunsheng talking about his feelings. Of course, this is just my opinion, and I may be overthinking.” Tie Hongyan said.

“After listening to your feelings, did he say anything to you regarding your feelings?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“He didn’t say anything about our feelings.” Tie Hongyan said, “He just told me to practice the external and internal skills together. I started practicing, but it was very difficult. I asked Li Fangshi if there was something wrong, and he said he couldn’t tell me what was wrong, but the progress was slower than he expected. He also told me that it didn’t matter, and asked me to practice more when I had time, especially to try it outdoors.”

Tie Jinjue felt bad after hearing this and said, “Do you think the difficulty you feel when practicing has anything to do with your body’s recovery?”

Tie Hongyan said: “I don’t feel that way. I really feel that my body has fully recovered.”

“Then what do you think the reason is?” Tie Jinjue asked.

“I haven’t figured it out.” Tie Hongyan said.

“Why did Master Li say that it is especially good to practice outdoors?” Tie Jinjue asked again. “He told me that when some people practice Yin Qian Gong indoors, their progress is a little slow, but when they practice outdoors, their progress is much faster.” Tie Hongyan answered.

“Why didn’t he choose to teach you outdoors?” Tie Jinjue asked.

Tie Hongyan replied: “Master Li said that his ritual must be performed indoors. It will not be effective outdoors. The clan leader asked him to do it in the practice room.”

Tie Jinjue said: “So that’s how it is. What else did he tell you?”

Tie Hongyan said: “He told me that after I master the first stage, we can go to the practice room and learn the second stage.”

“Did he let Wu Xunsheng practice in front of him?” Tie Jinjue asked.

Tie Jinjue thought that if Tie Hongyan was allowed to practice alone, it might be because he thought her condition was abnormal. Although it would not prove anything if Li Pingrun also let Wu Xunsheng practice, it would make Tie Jinjue feel a little more relaxed. He was looking forward to Tie Hongyan saying that Li Pingrun also let Wu Xunsheng practice in front of him.

“Yes.” Tie Hongyan replied.

Tie Jinjue did feel a little relieved, and asked, “After Wu Xunsheng finished training, how did Li Fangshi react?”

“He didn’t seem to have any special reaction at first, but then he looked at me and then at Wu Xunsheng, as if he was lost in thought.” Tie Hongyan said, “I asked Li Fangshi whether Wu Xunsheng’s training was normal, and he said it was normal. I asked Li Fangshi again whether Wu Xunsheng’s progress was consistent with his imagination, and he said it was okay.” Tie Hongyan said.
