What monkey business are you up to?
Putting on an act?
Even A'Qing could tell something was amiss, but he couldn't figure out why.
If Jin Baowen thought he had found a powerful backer and wanted to forcefully take Shen Yi's natural treasures, why didn't he simply hide inside when they were right at the doorstep? Why the need for such a superfluous and poorly executed ploy?
"I..."
Jin Baowen struggled to his feet and instinctively looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with a trace of panic.
Clearly, he too realized that such behavior would definitely make Shen Yi misunderstand him.
But he had come here as a loose cultivator.
Behaving too humbly and explaining everything on the spot would just give him away.
When engaging in duplicitous actions, there's no turning back. If he ended up displeasing both sides, he feared his life would be in danger.
And those two gatekeeping lads, their strength was so vast and formidable, how bizarre!
