Su Sheng's true motives! That was the purpose of Li Tianxing's emergency meeting, after all, he had nurtured his beloved protégé for more than seven years; there was no need to mention understanding his character, as he was completely under his influence.
Therefore, by putting himself in his protégé's shoes, Li Tianxing knew that his protégé wouldn't be practicing martial arts for the sole purpose of it; there had to be other motives.
What he wanted to do, to dispense with King Yan's support—Li Tianxing of course trusted his protégé's abilities, but he was afraid that he might be led astray and do something that violated his principles, which would be a grave matter.
Meritorious deeds can't be used to offset crimes; only after being punished can one seek a reduced sentence, but his beloved protégé couldn't bear a stain on his life.
As for Su Sheng's complex emotional issues, they were not of concern and certainly not a violation of the law!
