"This way, we could pull the wool over everyone's eyes. It would explain Ling Rui's cultivation realm while making it seem like he had been greedy for quick gains in cultivation and suffered the consequences—a rash, immature sort. The Li Family's impression of him would naturally plummet, and that marriage arrangement would most likely come to nothing."
After hearing this, Elder Yu considered it carefully and found the method feasible.
Yang Lingrui immediately voiced his agreement as well. He had only ever wanted to focus on cultivation and had no thoughts whatsoever of marrying and having children. Being able to cleverly avoid the marriage alliance like this could not have been better.
