Ang Xiao was faking it.
It was a joke. With his tens of thousands of years of experience and shrewdness, how could he ever wear his heart on his sleeve? If he had truly wanted to turn hostile, he would have gone all out against Lü Yang long ago.
His intentional outburst of anger was merely for show.
Even the surge of his Divine Sense and his attempt to reclaim control of the Earth-Walking Avatar were all part of the act, designed to lower Mu Changsheng's guard.
The reason was simple.
'This deal... is actually doable.'
'Mu Changsheng also wants to sell us the information on the Celestial Human Residual Consciousness. He has to guard against the Old Dragon Monarch turning on him!'
