Si Taizhen was an extremely decisive man. He acted with resolution and rarely hesitated. Even in the presence of the Sovereign, he would often speak bluntly and contradict him.
But when he reached the outside of Yang Jing's Demon Cave, his courage suddenly failed him for some unknown reason. He didn't dare go inside to see Yang Jing.
His heart in turmoil, he paced back and forth outside the Demon Cave, yet he could never bring himself to approach and see Yang Jing.
Seeing this, Eunuch Gui's heart ached. He had never seen Si Taizhen so timid and hesitant before.
Inside the Demon Cave, Yang Jing had, of course, already sensed Si Taizhen lingering outside. He had just about finished packing his belongings and was planning to slip away, only to find Si Taizhen blocking his exit. His heart sank.
'Has he figured out I'm planning to leave?'
Yang Jing's brow furrowed as an unpleasant suspicion formed in his mind.
