Chapter 2515 (Two Thousand Five Hundred and Fifteen) Blame
"Why didn't you tell me to go in the direction you went to Hongfeng Palace?" Tiewan Dao asked.
"I thought at the time, in that case, the clan leader and Elder Iron would have to walk a lot longer, and I thought it would be almost as good to walk in the opposite direction, so..."
"Isn't it about the same? What's going on now?" Tie Wandao asked.
Li Pingrun said: "I think it's almost the same as the situation at that time. Some things have one feeling before doing it, but another feeling when you actually do it. It's only after you do it that you know it won't work."
"It would be great if you just walked in the direction you came from!" Tiewan Dao said.
Li Pingrun said: "Clan Chief, if I had asked you and Elder Tie to go to a place first, and then walk with me in the direction I came from, wouldn't the Patriarch think it was a waste of time, wouldn't he blame me?"
Li Pingrun didn't mean to say that he should walk in the direction he came from before, but he felt that if he said this, Tie Wandao would not be very likely to agree and would blame him.
After listening to Li Pingrun's words, Tie Wandao thought to himself: What he said is true. If he had told me at that time to let Elder Tie and I walk to a place with him first, and then follow the road he had walked. I definitely don't agree with walking towards Hongfeng Hall. After all, I will have to walk a lot more. But now that he has said "won't you blame me?", I naturally can't tell him that I would blame him if he did that, and I can't make it look like it's because I made him afraid to speak. Like this.
Tie Wandao said: "If you tell me so quickly, why should I blame you? I remember that you are always very brave. You can say whatever you want to me. Why did you choose to do it this time? Don't you dare to tell me directly? I think you didn't tell me because you were afraid of me. If you were really afraid of me, you wouldn't tell me now."
Li Pingrun thought: I don't believe if I had said that at that time, I would not have been blamed by the clan leader. Now the situation is different from before. I tried walking backwards but it didn't work before I proposed to walk again in the direction I came from. If I hadn’t tried it, I wouldn’t have dared to mention it so easily. The clan leader is saying this now, maybe because Elder Tie is present. The clan leader doesn't want Elder Tie to think that my proposal to leave again has anything to do with him? Then... I can't easily deny the patriarch's words.
Li Pingrun looked at Tie Wandao and said nothing.
Tie Wandao said: "You have nothing to say, right? In that case, don't say anything anymore and answer my question directly. If you walk again in the direction you came from, you can guarantee that the path you will take will be yours." Did you go there before when you went to Hongfeng Palace today?"
When Li Pingrun heard Tie Wandao ask this, he felt that he seemed to be agreeing to leave again, but he didn't know if he understood it correctly. He said cautiously: "I can only try my best. After all, walking from that place to Hongfeng Palace is not the same as walking back from here. The clan leader and Elder Tie must be more familiar with the road to Hongfeng Palace than me."
Tiewan Dao said: "What's the use of our familiarity? We just know how to get to Hongfeng Palace, but there is not only one road to Hongfeng Palace. If we tell you how to get to Hongfeng Palace then, Doesn’t that mean you followed us? What if the path the three of us take is not the one you took?”
Li Pingrun didn't know what to do, so he thought about it and didn't speak immediately. (End of chapter)
