Jiang Li never intended to interfere from the beginning.
With Qin Luan's knowledge and experience, how could he not know that Lin Ruling was deliberately picking a fight? He never obliged Lin Ruling, forcing him to specifically demand a challenge.
However, Qin Luan wasn't sure about Xizhi's intentions. If Xizhi didn't allow fighting here, the verbal conflict between the two would inevitably provoke Xizhi's displeasure.
But if Lin Ruling openly challenged him, it would be a different matter.
The other person was almost pointing at your nose to challenge you; you couldn't just stand still. Xizhi had no reason to stop it.
What Qin Luan wanted was justification.
Qin Luan's combat power also surprised many people. Lin Ruling, who was known to be able to compete with the Nascent Soul Stage, was killed instantly by someone else. Even if Lin Ruling was boasting, it was enough to show how powerful Qin Luan was.
