Lu Li knew better than anyone else that Shang Guan Yun Luo only appeared to be tough.
He had no clue about the game content and couldn't possibly influence anything that the company decided. Even if he went and reported Ruling Sword, it most likely wouldn't be enough for the gaming company to do something about them.
The organization behind Dawn was probably the most determined to not abuse their power as the managers of the game.
In a speech about two years later, something that an executive had said really made an impression on Lu Li. If the game company interfered on its own to pressure someone with special tactics, then the end of the game would be near.
This was what gave Lu Li his confidence that Shang Guan Yun Luo wouldn't play dirty.
Not to mention, he wasn't really that determined to play against the Blackrock Spire Celebrity Group. He just wanted a fair and square chance.
Why was the commanding position passed to someone else in silence?
