Suddenly, the corner of Jing Yuan's mouth curled slightly...
"Heh heh, I've given him so many things. In the future, he'll have to owe me a favor."
Why was Jing Yuan not merely pretending to be foolish toward Sikong Jing, but actually giving him things and even revealing an intention to probe him in return?
It was precisely because he had learned of Sikong Jing's deeds and sensed the extreme danger lurking within him. Put plainly, he was also giving Sikong Jing a small glimpse of his true self while leaving behind a huge favor.
Very quickly, Jing Yuan's expression turned solemn again...
"But he isn't the same as me. I can play the fool, but he cannot."
"The situation he has to face is far, far more difficult than mine."
"He is one of Divine General Yiji's people, so Jun Guxian openly wants to conquer him, while he is almost openly resisting."
"The Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family will not rest until he is dead. In the battle of Heaven-Soaring Sea Cave, I must help him as much as I can."
Jing Yuan continued to think to himself. He knew very clearly that what the Heaven-Soaring Imperial Family intended for Sikong Jing was a killing blow.
On top of that, Jun Guxian was practically using underhanded methods in the open. Sikong Jing had enemies before and behind him...
"No matter what, I absolutely cannot expose myself on the surface. Otherwise, everything will have been for nothing."
"I must cultivate until I am fully capable of protecting my sect and family..."
Jing Yuan secretly swore this oath. Some terrible things had happened to him before, which was why he played the fool so thoroughly.
Then, he secretly copied everything inside the Green Jade Tube before taking out Sikong Jing's Green Jade Tube
