Chapter 224: Looking at the Other Peak from This Peak

Zhao Layue was curious, asking, "How was he fooled?"

"It's because he is too suspicious," Jing Jiu replied.

Thinking of his Big Brother being tricked by him, the corners of his mouth were pulled up slightly, revealing a smile, which indicated Jing Jiu was quite satisfied at the accomplishment.

Zhao Layue was a bit surprised because Jing Jiu had seldom displayed such emotions.

No matter how well he performed at the Inherited Sword Competition by the stream, the Sword Trial on Green Mountain, or the Plum Meeting, he had never shown any emotion, taking the achievements in stride.

Zhao Layue didn't know what Jing Jiu had fooled that person about, and Jing Jiu didn't know how useful fooling him would be; but it was a habit he had developed over hundreds of years, having some trump cards in the hands, that is.

This was something he had learned from his Big Brother.
