The night was quiet. Even though there was the noise of the crowd in the distance, it was quiet here. Except for Cao Dian, there was only myself.
An inexplicable atmosphere filled the air. Although everything seemed normal around him, Yang Ji smelled a hidden crisis from the void.
Subconsciously taking a few steps back, Yang Ji's muscles tightened and he concentrated on dealing with it.
"Why, you seem nervous?"
Cao Dian stopped, across the long street, and suddenly laughed, with a casual expression, as if he was talking about the most ordinary topic.
"what are you doing here?"
Yang Ji's expression was solemn and meticulous. He did not laugh because of Cao Dian's "joke". The corner of his eye glanced around unnoticeably.
"This is right in the center of the city. With the capabilities of the imperial court, it should be coming at any time."
A flash of lightning flashed in Yang Ji's mind, but his face did not change at all.
"how about you?"
Cao Dian responded. Without waiting for Yang Ji to answer, he answered and explained on his own:
"It was too noisy outside. I woke up and found fires everywhere outside, so I came out to take a look. Unexpectedly, even the military supply depot was on fire. I happened to be nearby, so I came over immediately to check."
"Did you find anything?"
Yang Ji said calmly.
"Haha, this is what I want to ask you too. Have you found anything?"
Cao Dian smiled and took two steps forward.
Da da!
Yang Ji immediately took two steps back subconsciously.
"Haha, you seem to be afraid of me?"
Cao Dian said with a smile, but did not stop:
"You're thinking too much." Yang Ji quietly moved a few steps again.
"oh?"
Cao Dian's eyebrows jumped, but he kept walking, getting closer and closer to Yang Ji:
"You haven't told me yet, why are you here?"
Yang Ji watched Cao Dian maintain a steady pace and sighed in his heart. He knew that there was no way he could delay it any longer.
"Evil Prince, that's enough! You don't have to pretend anymore."
