Yan Hai immediately understood half of it, but not all. He leaned forward slightly and waited.
Yun Haisheng's expression relaxed a little then, and the old fox-like sharpness in his eyes slowly returned. "Later, if His Majesty questions the matter, we can simply shift all blame onto Bai Lingling herself. We can say that we tried our best to raise a proper spirit beast for her, but she insisted on choosing that useless little white snake of her own free will. No one can force a Heavenly Phoenix bearer's hand if she insists on acting foolishly. At that time, the fault will not rest on us."
The moment Yan Hai heard this, he immediately relaxed.
Of course.
That was the best way.
If Bai Lingling wanted to behave stupidly, then let her. Later, when questions came, they would simply say they had already prepared properly and done all that they could. The person refusing what was good and proper had been Bai Lingling herself.
