Chapter 3228 (Three Thousand Two Hundred and Twenty-Eight)

Tie Wandao first asked Tie Jinjue: “Have you found out the reason?”

“I’ve found out.” Tie Jinjue said.

Seeing the white-robed Taoist priest half-lowering his head, Tie Wandao said, “Hasn’t it been found out? Ban Jinneng, you raise your head.”

The name of the alchemist in white robe was Ban Jinneng, and Tie Wandao liked to call those alchemists by their names.

“Yes…I have found it out.” The Taoist priest in white robe said. As he spoke, he slowly raised his head.

Tie Wandao felt bad when he saw him like that, and immediately said, “I told you to raise your head, and you raise your head like this?”

Only then did Ban Jinneng raise his head higher and said, “No.”

Seeing Ban Jinneng’s nervous face, Tie Wandao, who was already irritable, became even more annoyed and said, “It’s all figured out, why are you so nervous? You’re such a grown man, and you’re also an alchemist who knows magic. Did you do anything to let me down?”

“No!” Ban Jinneng said.

“Since there is nothing, why are you so nervous?” Tie Wandao asked.

“I…” Ban Jinneng didn’t know what to say.

Tie Jinjue felt that if things continued like this, Tie Wandao might get angry soon, so he smiled and said, “The clan leader has authority.”

Tie Wandao felt very comfortable hearing this.

Tie Wandao asked Ban Jinneng: “Is this the reason?”

Ban Jinneng answered: “Yes… yes.”

At that moment, Tie Wandao felt very proud, as if his irritable mood was relieved.

“Then don’t look so weird. People who don’t know would think you have done something bad. You don’t even dare to raise your head in front of me!” Tie Wandao said.

“Yes, I understand.” Ban Jinneng said.

Tie Wandao sat down on a chair and gestured to Tie Jinjue to sit down as well. After both of them sat down, Tie Wandao gestured to Ban Jinneng and said, “You sit down too.”

Ban Jinneng was a little afraid and said, “Thank you, Patriarch! But I… I don’t dare.”

“You don’t even dare to sit down?” Tie Wandao asked, “How timid are you?”

“Just sit down if the patriarch asks you to. It’s okay.” Tie Jin said.

Ban Jinneng was still hesitant.

Tie Wandao said to Tie Jinjue: “Forget it, he just doesn’t want to sit. He likes to stand. Maybe standing is good for him to practice magic.”

Then Tie Wandao said to Ban Jinneng: “Don’t sit down, just stand and talk.”

“Yes, Patriarch.” Ban Jinneng said.

Even though he knew that Tie Wandao was speaking in anger, for some reason he felt that standing next to Tie Wandao was more comfortable than sitting, as if he had acquiesced in his heart that he was not suitable to sit there at the same time as Tie Wandao.

Tie Wandao looked at Ban Jinneng and asked, “Why did the head of the Guardian Iron Beast suddenly fall off?”

“Because… because…” Ban Jinneng stuttered, “Someone is doing something.”

“Who performed the ritual?” Tie Wandao asked.

“Sorry, I can’t measure this.” Ban Jinneng said.

“You people who know magic always fail to figure out this or that.” Tie Wandao said, “Some people just say ‘I’m not sure’ when I ask them something. They’re not sure about this or that.”

When Tie Wandao said this, he was thinking of Li Pingrun who always said “uncertain” to him.

Ban Jin could tell that Tie Wandao was very upset. Seeing his frightening expression, he became even more nervous, so he immediately said, “I… I’m sure!”
