Family feuds have persisted for so many years in Huaxia, and naturally, friction between them is inevitable unless they are in a state of complete hostility with no reservations. General friction is carefully considered, especially concerning status and seniority.
If a junior simply disrespects their elder, it can be overlooked, but for a junior to actively seek trouble with an elder, and that elder is a clan chief, it's considered highly inappropriate.
Even if Li Yifei were to severely deal with Sunx Kangping now, as long as he spares enough face for the Sunx family, they could either start a war with Li Yifei or they would have to accept it.
Now, Li Yifei hasn't done that, and instead he's negotiating with Sunx Fugui, which is already giving face to the Sunx family.
