Seeing the two approaching figures, Yi Chen couldn't help but find his heart pounding heavily.
'…but how…just how did they discover me?' he thought with a frown as he saw them coming closer and closer to the door inside which he was hiding.
'Should I escape...but where…'
Several thoughts flooded his mind as a wave of worries fully took over him. Escaping wasn't an option. If he were lucky, he might be able to outrun Cao Li, but that definitely wasn't the case with the emperor, who was already at the First Heaven Ascension Stage.
Luckily, what he feared the most didn't happen as the two of them soon went past the door and kept walking forward.
'Phew…I worried for nothing,' he sighed in relief while keeping his eyes on their figures as they walked down the corridor without any signs of stopping before taking a turn.
