When had Wen Renbai ever seen the usually arrogant Si Chu display such caution and prudence? He couldn't help feeling a bit of schadenfreude at the lively scene, finding it quite amusing and satisfying.
Finally, someone was able to handle him!
But then he thought, if Si Chu was out of the picture, wouldn't he, with his wretched ways, be dragged down as well?
This thought turned his face pale, and he couldn't help but glare at Zhui Ying.
The great Imperial Guard, and they didn't even notice someone at the door!
Utterly incompetent!
Zhui Ying was feeling anxious and couldn't help but be puzzled, he truly hadn't heard any footsteps!
...
The clock turned back to earlier.
Mingshu and Helan Lian had parted on bad terms, and she turned to look for Si Chu only to find that he, along with Zhui Ying and Wen Renbai, was nowhere to be seen; it was as if they had all agreed to disappear together.
