Ji Changsheng truly respected his teacher's wisdom.
Moreover, he had always been an advocate for open strategies.
Schemes and trickery were things "Brother Hate" and "Ah Dou" admired; Ji Changsheng looked down upon them.
"There's no great achievement in sneaking around; we shall bet on whether Cundi can pass the next challenge."
Li Changxi blinked and said, "But if Cundi can't pass, He will ask you for help. You are His disciple, you can't possibly expect benefits for helping Him."
"I'll let Him win easily," Ji Changsheng said calmly. "How could I, with my limited virtue and ability, overcome the trials even the Teacher can't? Of course, He need not repay me for seeking my aid, but He would need to compensate you for your help."
Although Ji Changsheng could also actively seek Li Changxi's assistance,
The Great Emperor Changsheng never relied on handouts.
Even when asking his own wife to take action, he would offer benefits in return.
