What an interesting cicada, thought Yang Qing, wearing an amused smile.
He might not have known the exact thoughts running through the cicada's mind, but based on its current behavior—and how closely it mirrored his own whenever he faced Old Fiend Lei—he could definitely guess the gist of it.
A shameless coward understood another shameless coward best.As such, with that understanding, he knew that no matter what he said to ease the cicada's worries, it wouldn't help. In fact, it would likely make things worse and only deepen its suspicions and apprehension toward him.
He even shelved the idea of tempting it with his qi for now.
His ploy to secure a cheap free formation might have to be put on hold, but not all was lost when it came to his other goals.
Knowing just how deeply cowardly the ninefold natural yin array cicada was actually made certain things easier to manage.
