The Sage of Time never dreamed that people in the Cultivation World would be so dishonest.
It's like a pitfall at every step!
Despite his countless calculations and precautions, he almost ended up falling into a trap.
On the verge of losing control over his body, he used his last strength to say to the protagonist, "Messenger, we have an agreement, you can't break your word."
The protagonist ignored him and remained vigilant against Linglong.
Though the Sage of Time was powerful, he wasn't familiar with the Cultivation World, feeling out of place.
Linglong was different.
She hailed from a prestigious family in the Cultivation World, a native.
Her understanding of the Cultivation World even surpassed the protagonist's.
Therefore, the protagonist could disregard the Sage of Time, but he had to be wary of Linglong.
Linglong had tricked him before, serving as a warning.
Linglong wasn't angry at being treated like a thief by the protagonist.
