Li Juenian was cold by nature and not good with words.
After he arrived on the mountain peak, he remained silent the entire time.
Only when Lin Bai and Yi Zien began discussing Bai Yifei did he finally answer coldly, "If he becomes the Sacred Son, I won't accept him."
Yi Zien smiled. "Oh? Why?"
Li Juenian said, "The position of Sacred Son must be given to the strongest disciple in the sect. That is one of the most basic requirements."
"As for Bai Yifei, his family background and standing are impeccable within the sect."
"As Sacred Son Lin Bai said, Bai Yifei has strength, responsibility, knows what to choose, and understands when to advance or retreat!"
"But his strength... isn't enough!"
"Either Yi Zien or I could fight him to a draw. With strength like that, he isn't qualified to bear the position of Tianshui Sect's Sacred Son!"
"The position of Sacred Son must be held by a prodigy who overwhelms his peers and possesses peerless elegance."
Li Juenian stated his opinion with an expression as cold as frost.
Yi Zien smiled faintly without expressing agreement or disagreement.
Li Juenian continued, "However, Bai Yifei understands when to advance and retreat, so he has never taken that final step toward the position of Sacred Son!"
"Perhaps Bai Yifei himself knows that his strength is insufficient to become the Sacred Son!"
Li Juenian's words reminded Lin Bai of what Bai Yifei had said to Li Yuanzong in Storm City.
Back then, Bai Yifei had said to Li Yuanzong... You want to become the Sacred Son? Even if the position were handed to you, could you hold on to it?
Clearly, Bai Yifei had a profound understanding of the position of Sacred Son, and he also knew his own strength very well.
