"What's going on?!"
He had dropped to his knees partly to thank Shen Fei for helping kill the monsters and partly because he wanted Shen Fei to embellish the story of the city's capture, making him, the Immortal Emperor, sound more impressive to the outside world. But Zhao Li never expected Shen Fei to just leave! He showed no intention of taking over the city at all.
Moreover, before Shen Fei left, he had even said, "Help me keep this a secret."
This was exactly what Zhao Li wanted. Brother Chongtian had asked him to keep it a secret, meaning his involvement shouldn't be revealed to anyone else. And Zhao Li, who had just been itching to show off, needed exactly this kind of reputation. This realization got Zhao Li all worked up.
Shen Fei's selfless behavior left Zhao Li at a complete loss. Big Bro, if you don't take something, I'll feel terrible!
