In Sun Wukong's view, a marginal figure like Pilgrim would soon be forgotten, and then he could peacefully cultivate in the celestial Court.
He would wait until he gained some strength before taking further action, but before that, he needed to be cautious to avoid getting inadvertently involved in troubles.

Li Jing stood by, puffing his beard and glaring. If Sun Wukong had been under his command, things would have been much easier, but to see him choosing such a minor position made Li Jing think him foolish and ignorant.
Lacking any ambition.
