It can be said that among all the survivors, Cang Xu is the one who knows best how to hide his abilities.
His rich life experience made him quite clear that pretending to be stupid and acting confused is a very practical survival skill.
By pretending not to see through the ship ghost and not appearing too smart, he wouldn't trigger the ship ghost's apprehension. The latter would maintain his old impression of Cang Xu and hold onto the false superiority of having higher intelligence.
To a certain extent, this greatly mitigated the ship ghost's jealousy towards Cang Xu's mutated Holy Domain Level bloodline.
More importantly, Cang Xu also achieved his more significant goal—by playing dumb, he "detained" the ship ghost, indirectly "forcing" the ship ghost to reveal secrets, resulting in the direct appearance of the Undead Master.
The appearance of the Undead Master was not only unexpected for the ship ghost but also outside of Cang Xu's estimation.
