Chapter 2386 (Two Thousand Three Hundred and Eighty Six) Cleared
Tie Wandao said: "It's not easy to talk nonsense. But if the alchemist is unsure about something, such as not being able to tell what a person is doing there... then it is really easy for others to guess what the actual situation is."
Li Pingrun thought to himself: I have said everything I can say, and I can't say anything nonsense. As for some things I am not sure about, I have not given a definite statement. Under such circumstances, if others make random guesses because they do not know what the actual situation is, that is their business and cannot be blamed on me. But I can't say that to the patriarch. It's like I'm blaming the patriarch for his own random thoughts.
Li Pingrun just said: "In short, as an alchemist, you must be honest. I will be honest with the clan leader."
Tie Wandao felt that the previous sarcasm against Li Pingrun was considered sarcastic, and he no longer wanted to be sarcastic at this moment, so he said: "Everyone must be honest in front of the clan leader, whether he is an alchemist or not."
At this time, Li Pingrun felt that Tie Wandao had finally stopped ridiculing him, so he said, "Yes. You must be honest in front of the clan leader."
Tie Wandao glanced at Li Pingrun and said, "Then tell me honestly what happened after the girl left."
Li Pingrun said: "Nothing happened."
"Didn't you say you have to be honest?" Tie Wandao asked.
Li Pingrun thought: The patriarch doesn't believe me? I'm telling the truth!
"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "I'm telling you honestly."
Tie Wandao glared at him and said: "This passage is like this, how dare you say that? Nothing happened? Doesn't this passage look like this because something has happened?"
Li Pingrun quickly explained: "Chief, I don't mean that nothing happened here after the girl left..."
His words were interrupted by Tie Wandao, who said: "You mean what you said is not the truth?"
"No..." Li Pingrun said. He wanted to say "That's not what I meant," but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted again by Tie Wandao. "You really dare to say 'no'! How dare you tell me if it's not the truth?" Tie Wandao said immediately.
"What I said is the truth." Li Pingrun said, "What I just wanted to say was 'that's not what I meant'."
"Then what do you mean?" Tie Wandao asked immediately.
Li Pingrun quickly explained: "What I mean is...I was not talking about whether anything actually happened here after the girl left. I was only talking about what I saw from the Observation Fan."
"Isn't what you see in the Observation Fan true?" Tie Wandao asked, "Then what is your Observation Fan?"
Li Pingrun explained: "What I saw in the Observation Fan must be the truth! But then there was a problem with the monitoring camera, and I couldn't see the following facts with the Observation Fan."
Tie Wandao said: "You didn't see anything related to the opening of this passage in the Observation Fan?"
"Yes." Li Pingrun said, "I didn't see it at all."
"In the scene you saw in the Observation Fan, there is still something blocking the entrance of the passage. Now that we are here, we see that the passage has been opened. Obviously, the passage was opened with the help of the Observation Fan. What happened after what I saw." Tie Wandao said.
Li Pingrun nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, I was just about to tell the clan leader this. It's really like this. I guarantee it will happen later! I'm sure! There is absolutely nothing wrong with this!"
