Chapter 3076 (Three Thousand and Seventy-Six) ​​Control
At this point, Li Pingrun sighed and said, “If everyone could predict the future, what kind of scenery would this world be like…”

Tie Jinjue said: “You can understand much more than those who don’t know magic.”

Li Pingrun nodded and said, “Some things are indeed like this, but there are some things related to me that I still cannot predict or control.”

Tie Jinjue said: “Now you can’t predict, can you? When you live on because of unfinished business and understand the matter, will something suddenly happen that makes you want to continue living, and live for a very long time?”

Li Pingrun said: “I really can’t predict it, but I feel… it shouldn’t be the case.”

Tie Jinjue could tell that although Li Pingrun wanted to escape from the world, he would not take action at least for the time being because he had unfinished business. He remembered what Li Gengmi had said to him before he died. He hoped that Li Pingrun could let go of that idea and decide to continue living in the world. Whether it was before or after Li Pingrun learned about the unfinished business in his heart, he thought that if Li Pingrun could decide to continue living, he could give Li Gengmi an explanation. At this time, Tie Jinjue knew very well that Li Pingrun did not want to work for Tie Wandao. He really hoped that Li Pingrun would have a chance to get rid of the troubles he wanted to get rid of.

Tie Jinjue said: “This is just your feeling at the moment. When the time comes, it may be different.”

“Maybe.” Li Pingrun said. He just said that, but he didn’t think there would be any chance for him to change his mind.

Tie Jinjue asked, “You performed rituals and asked questions before, just to test whether telling me certain situations would be dangerous. So what was the result of your test?”

“There’s no danger.” Li Pingrun told the truth.

“Then can you tell me everything in your heart?” Tie Jinjue asked again.

“Okay.” Li Pingrun said. “What unfinished business do you have?” Tie Jinjue asked.

Li Pingrun said: “Speaking of this matter, it may take up a lot of Elder Tie’s time.”

“Just as you said.” Tie Jinjue said.

“This matter… is related to the ritual I performed that time.” Li Pingrun said, “When I was performing the ritual before, I felt that I could not concentrate at all. If I continued to perform the ritual, something terrible would happen.”

“Is it because you remembered your sister?” Tie Jinjue asked.

Li Pingrun replied: “Yes. Of course I also remembered the time I took the wrong road. Anyway, that’s it.”

“Tell me what happened.” Tie Jinjue said.

“That day in front of the ritual platform, I thought a lot. I knew I had taken the wrong path and had irreversible consequences. I wanted to test what I should do in the future.” Li Pingrun said, “I took out a thing my master had given me before, which was called the ‘Autumn Mango Box’. If I want to know exactly what I want to know, in addition to the Autumn Mango Box, I also need something called the ‘Qing Lu Stone’. There is no Qing Lu Stone in the world anymore, and the props I needed at the time were not all complete. I don’t think I can find out anything really useful to me using this method, but I think my master taught me this method before, so I want to try it. After all, in the absence of the Qing Lu Stone, using only the Autumn Mango Box can sometimes get some very useful hints. Many alchemists use the Autumn Mango Box alone without the Qing Lu Stone.”
