Chapter 1967 (One Thousand Nine Hundred and Sixty Seven) Memory
Nie Huibao saw that Quan Meng's arrogance had lost a lot, so he didn't say anything more on this issue. He said to Quan Chumeng: "Do you have a way to know whether the clan leader will ask the alchemist to test it at Qixing Zuiling Pavilion today?"
Quan Chumeng felt that this was difficult to do, but he was not willing to tell Nie Hui directly that it was not easy. Instead, he said in a different way: "If the patriarch has already found the alchemist and they are testing it at Qixing Zui Renting, I can tell by doing it that there is an alchemist testing it.”
Nie Huihao said: "Why don't you tell me directly if you know whether the clan leader will ask the alchemist to test it? If you already know, I don't need to ask you."
Although it was immediately revealed to Nie Huahao, Quan Chumeng still did not want to directly answer the question of whether he could not know whether the clan leader would ask the alchemist to test it. He said to Nie Huahao: "Let me try my method."
Nie Huibao didn't press forward immediately, so he agreed.
Quan Chumeng immediately acted. After a while, he heard Nie Huihao ask: "Do you know now?"
Quan Chumeng replied: "I don't know yet."
"Okay, then I understand. You have no way of knowing whether the clan leader will ask the alchemist to go to Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion to test it today." Nie Huahao said.
Quan Chu said fiercely: "I will know later if the alchemist the clan leader asks for goes there to test it."
Nie Huiahao said: "Next time I ask you a question, just tell me directly and don't beat around the bush."
Quan Chumeng knew that he could not continue to explain anything at this time, so he said: "Yes, Elder Nie, I understand." "Then how long will you continue to do this?" Nie Huihao asked.
"Otherwise, I'll try it for a while and see if I can get it out." Quan Chu said fiercely.
"Okay, then you try it." Nie Huaihao said.
Quan Chumeng tried again for a while, but still couldn't get it out.
Nie Huibao looked at Quan Chumeng and thought: Since Quan Chumeng didn't tell me directly just now, he wanted to say that if the clan leader had already found the alchemist and they were testing it at Qixing Zui Renting, he would know that there was an alchemist through his methods. If the test is done, then he can just keep practicing in this basement. I have to do other things first. Then I will come over and ask him about his situation. Let him experience something like this once today, and I'll see if he knows how to speak frankly when talking to me in the future.
Nie Huibao said that he would leave for a while to do other things and let Quan Chumeng stay in the basement to continue practicing. He would ask him when the time comes.
Quan Chumeng thought: I might as well just tell Elder Nie directly that I have no way of knowing whether the clan leader will ask the alchemist to go to Qixing Zui Ren Pavilion to test it today. If I say that, Elder Nie will let me continue to practice here. Well, he will ask me again when the time comes, and I will have to stay here for a while longer. I will have a better memory in the future. Since Elder Nie said it this time, I have no choice but to do it. Anyway, I have nothing else to do today, so I will continue to practice here. But, what should I do if I haven’t tried anything yet when Elder Nie comes? It's useless to think so much now, just take it one step at a time.
After Nie Huibao left the basement, Quan Chumeng continued the practice.
After Nie Huihao came back from his business, Quan Chumeng said that he had learned through the practice that an alchemist had gone to test the situation of Qixing Zui Renting. Although he was not sure whether it was the clan leader who asked the alchemist to test it, he felt yes.
