After a while, Sikong Jing asked somewhat speechlessly, "You could've tested my talent anytime. Why go around such a huge bend?"
Sikong Jing was rather speechless. Had he known they were Grandpa Su's subordinates, he naturally would not have told Duanmu Chun that the Black Jade Master Fragment Map had been extracted from the Primal Heaven Map. Yet Old He and the others had insistently taken such a long detour.
All this time, Sikong Jing had believed that Grandpa Su's subordinates had long since been wiped out.
Old He glared at him and said, "When we take in disciples, we must also judge their character and see whether they can inherit our boss's will. And our identities can't be exposed lightly, so this was our only option."
"We'd even planned to use you to enter the Eastern Tyrant Branch as guest elders."
Old He spoke with the same helplessness. By all common sense, no one should have said it, yet Sikong Jing had.
Sikong Jing gave a bitter laugh and could only ask, "So what are you planning to do with me now?"
This was all a coincidence born from miscommunication on both sides.

Sikong Jing's mouth fell open. He wanted to say something, but in the end held it back.

At the same time, Heavenly Wolf Courtyard!
Boom...
