Li Yuan remembered the hatred in Senior Brother Ren's eyes.
He didn't dare gamble.
With Master and Senior Sister standing up for him, and with the sect rules in place, it's unlikely that Senior Brother Ren would openly strike at him.
But if Senior Brother Ren wants to vent his hatred, he certainly has ways.
The relationship between the proprietress and him is known to anyone who investigates within the Inner City, and if Senior Brother Ren targets Hengwu Restaurant, or even secretly kills the proprietress, would the Blood Saber Sect go after him?
The answer is no, at most he would face some punishment or be left to settle the grudge on his own.
So, if Senior Brother Ren suddenly harbors evil thoughts one day, the consequences would be unbearable for him.
As for him killing Senior Brother Ren, no one would believe it. After all, he's merely a Ninth Grade, and just managing not to get secretly targeted by Senior Brother Ren would already be fortunate, let alone going after him?
