There was a split-second moment where Ji Changsheng doubted whether the Master was trying to probe his undercover identity in the Sky Devil Sect.
But he quickly dismissed that thought.
The Master's strength could allow him to kill Ji Changsheng instantly, he didn't need to test him in such a roundabout way.
Considering his earlier report of Bing Ziping's actions, Ji Changsheng began to understand the Master's real intentions.
"Master, are you suggesting I seek protection from the wife of the Sky Devil Sect Leader?"
The Master found he was growing more and more fond of this young fellow.
He was incredibly perceptive.
He fully followed his line of thought.
If it were anyone else, he would have probably needed to spend a lot of effort explaining his benevolent intentions.
But Ji Changsheng, he extrapolated from one instance and guessed the truth.
