Zhang Yuan was very interested in the Seven-Hued Brocade.
But before pocketing it, he had to establish its origins. Without knowing whether it was a treasure or a bomb, he could easily end up with a hot potato that would get him killed.
Qin Tianyi understood this principle, which was precisely why he had not killed Hai Dengshen with a single palm strike.
