Li Qinghai had long sensed the arrival of the Great Emperor Shengyuan.

He just pretended not to know.

Otherwise, if he directly confronted the Great Emperor Shengyuan and let him know that the Broken Ape was lying, the Broken Ape would likely be executed on the spot.

Li Qinghai had previously mentioned sparing the Broken Ape, and since he still had use for him, he naturally didn't want the Broken Ape to be killed by the Great Emperor Shengyuan.
