Jiang Han asked Jiang Lang to hold the line, not to set him up, but because he believed Jiang Lang could handle it.

Jiang Lang was particularly sly, enjoying playing the pig to eat the tiger, hiding his true strength, and would not reveal his trump card unless absolutely necessary.

For example, at the Thirty-Three Peaks, he clearly had the combat power of the Mountain and Sea Level and could easily sweep through several Young Wolf Masters, yet he chose not to act.

Later in Yuehu Town, he could have stepped in early to resolve everything, but he insisted on waiting until Jiang Han couldn't hold on, and Ling Yunmeng and the others were on the brink of death before showing up.
