Baili Hong, being a three-star Saint Inscription Master, was indispensable to the Moon-Illumination Sect.
Qian Kong knew well that even if he were to take action, Jiang Wei would intercept him, and in doing so, he would only draw Jiang Wei’s ire; thus, he restrained himself. Had he been alone, his "Saint Realm" cultivation would have rendered him fearless of Jiang Wei. However, he had many descendants within the Moon-Illumination Sect. To ensure their future well-being, he could not afford to offend Jiang Wei too deeply; he had to know when to draw the line. Just now, with Jiang Wei having explained himself to such an extent, to continue being difficult would be tantamount to deliberately opposing him.
"Elder Baili, I am deeply sorry for the trouble caused to you today."
