Chapter 1924 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twenty-Four) Forgot
Thinking of this, Tie Wandao asked Li Pingrun: "You said that I would draw a pattern related to a certain experience of mine in this room. If I only draw one, it will be easy to 'see' it when you perform the technique on me. That experience of mine or something related to that experience of mine, right?”
Li Pingrun said: "Yes."
"Then why don't I remember what I saw?" Tie Wandao asked.
Li Pingrun said: "Patriarch, the illusion you saw during the practice will be forgotten after the practice is over."
Tie Wandao asked: "Are you sure I really saw it during the execution?"
Li Pingrun said: "I can be sure of this."
"You're not me, how did you know for sure?" Tie Wandao asked.
"I was doing the magic. At that time, I could feel that the clan leader could see illusions." Li Pingrun said.
"Are you saying that I have forgotten the illusion I saw before?" Tie Wandao said.
"That's it." Li Pingrun said.
"I didn't ask you before if there was a way to not forget it, but now I suddenly want to ask you this." Tie Wandao said.
"There's no way I won't forget." Li Pingrun said.
Tiewan Dao said "hmm" and walked to other places in the room, as if he was checking something, but in fact he was still thinking about things related to the illusion.
Tiewan Dao thought: There is no way to never forget... Some things are just like this. You can't remember them even if you see them. You can't retain them. Even the illusions can't be retained.
He immediately remembered what he had thought about before: after I injured Hongyan that night, I went to Jinqi's spiritual place. There was a thunderstorm and the candle suddenly went out. Yesterday I personally drew the pattern related to Jinqi in this room, and today there was an explosion in this room. Li Pingrun said that I had seen illusions while he was doing the exercises on me. However, the illusions I saw during the exercises would not stay in my memory. They could not be retained... "cannot be retained" itself. Does it mean the same thing as when the candles went out that night and the room exploded today? Did I do something that made Jinqi feel inappropriate? Could it be related to Hongyan? No, it won't! The person Jin Qi cares about the most is me. Even if I risk Hong Yan’s life, Jin Qi will definitely agree! I shouldn't think wildly, Jin Qi must think that saving my life is the most important thing. I believe that in Jin Qi's eyes, Hong Yan's life will never be more important than mine! Well, I'm going to believe that and stop thinking about what that means. I should think differently. That night, there was a thunderstorm in front of Jin Qi's spiritual throne and the candles were extinguished. Such strange things happened, but nothing happened to me. There was an explosion in this room today, and Li Pingrun's actions ensured my safety. Do those two things mean that if one thing has something to do with Jin Qi, even if I am in danger, I will not really suffer any loss? Does this mean that Jinqi has always agreed with my approach? As for the fact that I can't even remember the illusion, maybe it's to my advantage. It's just an illusion after all, so what if I remember it? Isn't it a good thing that I can catch up with this way of doing things? I just assume that Jinqi cares about me, so what remains in my memory are the things that really happened.
Thinking of this, Tie Wandao said to Li Pingrun: "When I go out and come back, I will call those people outside and we will clean up this place together."
"Clan leader, just rest. Tell me what you want to do and I will do it." Li Pingrun said. (End of chapter)
