No wonder Ji Changsheng felt that Cao Ziming seemed to bare his heart out the first time they met.
Initially, Ji Changsheng thought it was just enthusiasm, but now he realized it was genuine admiration (naïvety).
In reality, being a bit naive isn't a bad thing for cultivation.
Often, smart people lack a steadfast spirit of Tao, preferring to take shortcuts. However, those who are pure to the point of foolishness are often undeterred, making them more suitable for breaking through in cultivation.
But the best cultivators are those who are both intelligent and resolute.
Understanding Cao Ziming's situation, Ji Changsheng felt even more at ease using him as a right-hand man.
"Don't worry, Elder Brother Cao, your matter is mine too. We've worked together for a year; I guarantee you'll understand the essence of Hao Ran's righteous energy," Ji Changsheng made a sweeping promise.
