Fei Si was not sure about Han Ming's exact connections within the Soul Devouring Sect. If they captured Han Ming and provoked an ancient old monster, it would be a big problem.
The more crucial point was the Lava Immortal Palace. Currently, the four forces including the City Lord's Mansion were fully focused on exploring this Immortal Palace and did not want any unnecessary trouble.
So, Fei Si's previous thought was, "After all, it's Sun Lie who is being disturbed, not us."
"Once Sun Lie couldn't bear the harassment and voluntarily left Persimmon Fire City, wouldn't the problem be solved?"
The City Lord's Mansion's leniency further fueled Han Ming's arrogance until she was taken down by Ning Zhuo.
In a certain sense, Sun Lie's tolerance and the City Lord's Mansion's half-hearted efforts were in a way assistances that led to Ning Zhuo successfully capturing Han Ming in the end.
"This time it's different."
