Chapter 3018 (Three Thousand and Eighteen)

Wu Xunsheng felt a little uneasy again and asked her, “Which step caused it to break?”

Tie Hongyan felt that it was no harm to tell him. It was impossible for him to immediately know what she and Ni Yuan had done there just by listening to her, so she said that her lip was broken during the “second step”.

Wu Xunsheng asked: “What did you do in ‘Step 2’? Can you tell me?”

Tie Hongyan wrote something on the paper and told him that it was the alchemist she had found who used Xing Yujing to perform a ritual for her.

Wu Xunsheng asked: “You bit your lip at that time. Was it because you were in great pain?”

Tie Hongyan wrote to tell Wu Xunsheng that in fact, she was not in as much pain when taking the “second step” as when taking the “fourth step”. She even smiled at him when she showed him the paper with the words.

Although Tie Hongyan said this, Wu Xunsheng’s heart still clenched. He knew that Tie Hongyan would always make the pain he endured sound like it was no big deal. He said, “You didn’t bite your lips again when you were ‘removing the scars’, did you?”

Tie Hongyan nodded.

“The pain you felt while doing ‘scar removal’ must have been much more severe than the pain you felt while doing the ‘second step’, right?” Wu Xunsheng asked again.

Tie Hongyan nodded again.

“If it is true as you said, then why didn’t you bite your lips when you were ‘removing the scars’, but bit your lips when you were doing the ‘second step’?” Wu Xunsheng asked again.

Tie Hongyan wrote some more words and told Wu Xunsheng that it was impossible for him to shout out loud while he was doing the “removal of scars”. However, he could shout out loud when he was doing the “second step”. However, he did not want to shout out loud and affect the Taoist priest, so he bit his lips to prevent any sound.

She originally wanted to write that under the effect of Xing Yu Jing, she couldn’t even scream while she was “removing the marks”. However, she thought it would be better not to mention Xing Yu Jing in front of Wu Xunsheng, so she didn’t say it.

Wu Xunsheng asked, “If you make a sound while carrying out the ‘second step’, will it be disadvantageous to the Taoist priest?”

Tie Hongyan nodded. Wu Xunsheng still felt a little uncomfortable, and sighed, saying: “It was really not easy for you at that time!”

Tie Hongyan smiled and gestured, intending to tell him that it was nothing.

Seeing that Wu Xunsheng still looked reluctant, Tie Hongyan started writing on the paper again.

After writing, she showed the written paper to Wu Xunsheng and told him that the matter was over.

Wu Xunsheng sighed again, and then asked with concern in his eyes: “These four steps will make your progress in practicing Yin Qian Gong faster, but will they cause any actual harm to your body?”

Tie Hongyan shook his head.

Wu Xunsheng was still worried and asked, “Are there sure to be no bad effects?”

Tie Hongyan shook his head again, and seeing that Wu Xunsheng was still worried, he started writing on the paper again, asking him to rest assured that there would be absolutely no adverse effects.

Wu Xunsheng saw that she had written all this, and finally he felt relieved and said, “I want to ask you another question.”

Tie Hongyan motioned for him to tell him what the problem was.

“I know you can’t lock the door, so why did you prop it up with a chair?” Wu Xunsheng asked, “Is it to prevent me from knowing that you are suffering in the room? Is it to prevent me from coming in and sharing your pain?”

Tie Hongyan was stunned and did not answer immediately.
