Lan Ju only wanted to tell him that he trust Mark's decisions and don't unnecessarily question them but Xie Zhong understood it differently as he analyzed those deeply.
Why a supreme being accepted a commoner as his master in the first place when even the Emperors had to greet them in respect? Such loyalty can only occur by two things.
One, the guy has a strong hidden background.
Two, the guy forced the supreme being into servitude.
Feeling that the second option is out of the question, Xie Zhong concluded that Mark belonged to the first option. The existence of firearms and the Kunlun sect's support for Mark only increased his suspicion.
Now, the only question that remained in Xie Zhong's mind is why Mark is participating in this tournament.
For a person who had a supreme being as his servant, a manticore as a mount, and a beast emperor kitten as a pet, the rewards from the tournament shouldn't entice him. Hence, there's another motive. Perhaps, revenge?
