Chapter 3082 Clothes
He thought: Where has Elder Tie gone? Why hasn’t he come back in such a long time? Could it be that I said something wrong just now?

Li Pingrun began to recall what he had said before. Although he felt that it was not good for him to agree so slowly to Tie Jinjue’s request not to commit suicide, looking at Tie Jinjue’s expression before he left, he did not feel that Tie Jinjue was angry with him. At this time, he felt that it was not because he said something wrong that caused Tie Jinjue not to come back immediately.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tie Jinjue came in with a big box.

“Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time. I just met a subordinate on the road who told me something important. He was about to go out of Tiecangting to do some business. If I didn’t listen to him immediately, I wouldn’t be able to understand it today. I didn’t want to delay things, so I just listened to him for a while.” Tie Jinjue said.

Li Pingrun finally felt relieved: “I see, I was wondering what happened, but it seems I was overthinking. Elder Tie would explain to me, which is rare. This also means that I didn’t make him unhappy.”

“It’s okay, Elder Tie.” Li Pingrun said.

Tie Jinjue placed the big box on a large table, opened it, and took out a cloth bag containing something from it.

He handed the bag to Li Pingrun and said, “Take out the things inside and have a look.”

Li Pingrun couldn’t figure out what Tie Jinjue would let him see, so he didn’t think about it any further. He just took the thing and said “yes”.

After Li Pingrun took the things out of the cloth bag, he was stunned for a moment.

“This…” Li Pingjun stared at the thing and was speechless for a moment.

Tie Jinjue stood aside without saying a word, just looking at Li Pingrun quietly.

Li Pingrun asked Tie Jinjue: “Elder Tie, where did this come from?”

“It was given to me by someone before he passed away.” Tie Jinjue said. “Who was that person?” Li Pingrun asked, “Does Elder Tie know that person’s name?”

Tie Jinjue said: “That person told me that her name is Li Gengmi.”

Li Pingrun’s heart was struck by thunder. His hands trembled and the thing almost slipped out of his hand. But he reacted and quickly held it tightly.

Li Pingrun asked: “Elder Tie, what does that person… look like?”

Tie Jinjue gave a description, and Li Pingrun’s eyes became wet as he listened.

It turned out that what Li Pingrun took out from the bag was a piece of children’s clothes. That thing was exactly the same as the piece of children’s clothes he saw on the lid of the Qiumang Box when he performed the ritual last time.

Tie Jinjue asked Li Pingrun, “Master Li, I just heard you mention children’s clothes. What did the children’s clothes look like when you performed the ritual?”

Li Pingrun looked at the clothes in his hand and said to Tie Jinjue, “That’s it! The same! The same as this!”

Tie Jinjue asked Li Pingrun: “The reason why you can see such clothes when you are performing rituals is because you have thought about such clothes in your daily life?”

Li Pingjun shook his head and frowned slightly, saying, “No… no! I have no impression of such clothes before. What… what kind of clothes are these? Why did I see such clothes when I was performing a ritual? Why did Elder Tie let me see such clothes with my own eyes today? Why did Geng Mi give me these clothes?”

“Elder Tie, although I have heard about the circumstances of Geng Mi’s death before, I don’t know the details. Can Elder Tie tell me something?” Li Pingrun asked.
