"Don't blame me for what happened next!" - You mean you thinking you're some big-shot and getting the whole dao-crosswanker-club demolished by the MC? Don't worry, he doesn't give a fuck about small time third-rate villain-wannabe beta-losers like you.
honestly, you are probably right, considering how most cultivation stories go.
But to give him the benefit of doubt, it could just be that he suspects somebody else is going to fuck with him and not he guy himself.
Aka he is "worried" about shit hitting the fan and he is trying to tell himself its not his fault if something happens.
