Ren Bao compromised.
Although his heart was unwilling, he still planned to compromise. Just as Lord Chief said, Ren Qian was merely his nephew, not his son. Even though he loved this nephew dearly, there was always a degree of separation in their relationship.
Moreover, even if the person killed by Jing Yan was his own son, Ren Bao would still have to carefully consider how to respond, weighing the consequences of tearing into Jing Yan. This consequence might not be something that a Deputy Master of Jade Bay Medicine Field Management Office could bear.
The Master and another Deputy Master both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Ren Bao's words.
"Deputy Master Ren Bao, you need not feel too distressed. Jing Yan killed Ren Qian, and he surely knows of Ren Qian's relationship with you. He might be thinking that you will seek revenge, yet you choose to not only refrain from revenge but also warmly greet him. Do you think he might feel guilty?"
