However, Master Skry had no idea that he was actually being deceived.

"Taoist Master!" Yusof was very cunning. He did not immediately agree to his request but instead pretended to be shocked. "Are… are you going to fight him? But he's very strong. I'm just afraid that…"

It would arouse suspicion if Yusof immediately agreed to Master Skry's request, so he decided to play the devil's advocate to dispel any doubt he might have.

It was just as Yusof expected. There was no doubt left in Master Skry's mind. "Don't worry. He's injured, so I'm confident that I'll be able to get rid of him."

Yusof pretended to hesitate. Then he finally nodded and said between gritted teeth, "Very well then. I can't stop you from seeking justice and doing the right thing. In fact, I hope that you'll be able to get an antidote out of him so that I'll be saved."

Master Skry was losing patience with Yusof's dilly-dallying. "Don't worry. I'll definitely find the antidote as long as you help me to capture him."
