"That's right!"
Sun Mo admitted it outright.
He could more or less guess what Guan Shijie was thinking. He must be thinking that if Sun Mo was just trying to fool around with him, then he'd take care of Sun Mo.
Sun Mo could understand him. After all, if someone were to try to bluff him to increase their reputation, then he wouldn't let them off either.
The real reason that made Sun Mo give up on telling Guan Shijie the entire story was that after Guan Shijie had heard his 'comprehensions', he had gotten inspired but yet didn't contribute any favorable impression points.
This wasn't saying that he wasn't grateful toward Sun Mo, but that the first thing he cared about was whether he could attain a breakthrough.
This was a little selfish of him.
