Seeing Shangguan Wan'Er's state, Ling Fei's heart ached.
"You silly girl, why didn't you tell me sooner that they were forcing you like this?" he said, taking her delicate hand with a touch of pity.
"The Sect Leader was furious at the time. If I had left the sect then, it might have triggered a massive war between our sects. The consequences would have been unimaginable, and my family hadn't been settled yet." Recalling the situation, Shangguan Wan'Er's face was filled with bitterness. Back then, she truly couldn't think of a better way.
"It truly wasn't the right time for that," Ling Fei sighed, feeling helpless.
At that time, although he had won the Alchemy Dao championship, he had only showcased his talent in alchemy. He lacked the foundation to make the various sects openly challenge the Beiming Sword Sect. Therefore, there was no point in discussing it now. It all came down to a lack of strength. Remembering the past, Ling Fei could only let out a deep sigh.
