He'd slept with the Sect Master's Wife???
The Li Clan Old Ancestor was stunned. This was a minor matter?
This kid had some nerve!
With such poor self-control, how had he managed to form a high-grade Immortal Infant?
Thinking this, the Li Clan Old Ancestor furrowed his brow slightly.
Things like this—where a Sect Master spent years in seclusion and his lonely wife secretly seduced a handsome young disciple—had never happened in Chongming Sect before. But during the Old Ancestor's long years of cultivation, he had seen it happen in some small sects.
So what truly angered him now wasn't that Pei Ling had slept with the Sect Master's Wife.
It was that, as the Future Holy Son cultivated by the Jiu A Li Clan, he couldn't control himself around a woman. Knowing the Holy Son's investiture ceremony was imminent, instead of devoting himself to cultivation, he had secretly fooled around with the Sect Master's Wife... He had absolutely no sense of the bigger picture!
Forget it. Pei Ling was said to have come from a remote little city. Though his cultivation talent was astonishing, he had lacked any decent guidance growing up. It was only natural that his horizons were narrow.
As long as he secured the position of Holy Son for the Li Clan, they didn't necessarily need him to be far-sighted or skilled at planning strategy.
Besides, a genius with overwhelming strength and rapid progress, but an obvious weakness, was also useful to the Li Clan.
With that thought, the Li Clan Old Ancestor slowly reined in his aura, then said calmly, "Things have come to this. There's no point running now. If Su Lijing finds out, no matter what the circumstances were, he won't kill Si Hong Qingyan, a legitimate daughter of the Si Hong Clan
