Chapter 1789 (One Thousand Seven Hundred and Eighty-Nine) Lying
When Tie Wandao said this, he glared at Hou Jizhuan fiercely.
Hou Jizhuan had not looked directly into Tie Wandao's eyes a moment ago. Then he raised his eyes and glanced at Tie Wandao. He found that his gaze was still frightening, so he avoided it. However, by this time Hou Jizhuan was already extremely angry. Fear is reduced.
He thought: The reason why the red alchemist blamed me for stopping reciting the spell first was because of fear. He was afraid that if the patriarch knew that he was the one who stopped reciting the spell first, there would be consequences that he could not bear. In fact, I didn't dare to tell the clan leader that it was my mistake that caused the problem in Gray House. It was also because of fear. I was afraid that I would not be able to bear the consequences if I told the truth. Although it was really hateful that the red alchemist blamed me, he still had something in common with me - we both chose to cover up the truth out of fear. In the final analysis, no one dares to tell the truth because the patriarch is too much! The clan leader takes life and death away from everyone, so that some people dare not admit it after they accidentally make a mistake, for fear of the clan leader's cruelty. People who work for the patriarch are always afraid of doing something wrong. In such a terrifying environment, if others have problems with their work, they can only cover it up. How can we talk about truth? If telling the truth means heavy punishment or even death, who dares to tell the truth? ! In such an environment, if you want to protect yourself, can you do this without lying? Although the consequences of lying would be serious if caught, if it could be avoided, wouldn't lying be a way to avoid terrible things happening? The patriarch always makes the people around him live in fear. People around him are more likely to do wrong things. A nervous person is more likely to make mistakes. The clan leader doesn't give people a chance to breathe. In such an environment, if something goes wrong, wouldn't it be just making up lies and deceiving each other? Those who work for the clan leader will deceive the clan leader and other people who work for the clan leader. The tense atmosphere and terrifying environment make it difficult for "reality" to appear. What is this thing called? Why can the patriarch decide other people's future and life and death at will?
The more Hou Jizhuan thought about it, the angrier he became, and his face turned red with anger. However, when Tie Wandao asked him, he still couldn't resist him.
Tie Wandao said: "Hou Jizhuan, I allow you to speak now, please say something."
Hou Jizhuan was immersed in anger before, but when he heard what he said suddenly, he didn't know what to say immediately.
Tie Wandao said again: "I asked you to speak, but you do it! Looking at you like this, are you dissatisfied or what?"
Hou Jizhuan was of course dissatisfied, but at this moment he could only be grateful that he had heard clearly what Tie Wandao was saying when he was angry just now.
Hou Jizhuan had no choice but to say against his will: "Clan leader, I can let it go. Of course I am not dissatisfied."
"You're blushing. Do you think I can't tell?" Tie Wandao said.
Hou Jizhuan said: "I blushed because I was ashamed." After saying this, he felt a sense of nausea. He was disgusted that he clearly had not let go, and he was just dissatisfied, but in order to protect himself, he claimed to be blushing because of shame.
"Really? Because you are ashamed?! It's okay, you still know how to feel ashamed!" Tie Wandao said, "Since you know you are ashamed, then do something good for me! Continue to do it quickly, and don't do it because of anything you do this time. Stop chanting the incantation due to conflicts with other alchemists! Don’t stop, can you do it?" (End of Chapter)
