Got to ch 49 - what mistake was Jing referring to here?
Jing said “When I went to Sheng Nong Mountain to look for you, I talked with the Yellow Emperor and realized I made a big mistake as well. Let’s go see the Black Emperor and talk things out.”
Did CX really think FL can do better in protecting XY (because of his strength?) or was it mainly because as his right hand man, CX knows he can keep FL in check to ensure FL treats XY well? I remember how he compared FL and Jing, FL is straightforward and CX knows what he wants. Whereas CX cannot read Jing. I’m guessing that’s the reason why he was willing for XY to marry FL (besides the benefit CX gets in the political aspect).
Jing said “The Black Emperor is the person you trust the most, don’t let one mistake make you lose faith in him! Have you thought about why he was willing to let you marry Feng Long but tried to stop you from marrying me? He was just as pained in both instances.”
“Because….he thinks you’re not as good as Feng Long.”
Jing shook his head “That’s just the surface reason, the most important reason is that His Majesty believes I don’t have the ability to protect you! He’s lost so much already, he could not place you in the care of someone weak. Tell me the way to the cliff!”
