It was only a form of address, and Li Hongjiu did not take it seriously. Mainly, the woman had voiced no objection, so naturally he did not care either. Calling her his brother's wife cost him nothing, after all.
Come to think of it, he really had to hand it to that bastard Shi Chun. Whenever he saw someone with a powerful family behind them, he clung to them like a dog. He had been much the same with Gu Liani, the daughter of the Summer Path Mountain Sect Master, back in the Divine Fire Domain. If circumstances had not forced things to go wrong, this scoundrel would most likely have latched onto Gu Liani too.
So when Shi Chun said he wanted to cling to his coattails, he somewhat believed it.
His brother's wife? Waves of emotion rose ever higher within the Red-Clad Woman. Deep beneath her calm gaze, she looked at Li Hongjiu as though he were already dead.
She no longer intended to let him leave Gathering Grotto Continent alive.

She needed to sort through the intelligence she had received.
Only after Shi Chun accepted the task of arranging an apprenticeship from her had she become interested in learning about him in detail. Before
