Ju Chi sat in the dark room in a daze. He didn't understand the Dragon King's behavior, and hated his own cowardice. "I should have stood up and taken responsibility for it, then the midwife wouldn't have been taken away.
"We're partners." He blamed himself.
Soon, he comforted himself, "I had no choice. The midwife doesn't know very many secrets, so she won't get others involved. But if I got caught, dozens of people would be killed once I failed to withstand torture."
"However, the Dragon King knows everything." Thinking of this, he could feel his heart beat faster. He had once been afraid of the Dragon King's saber and sword, but now he was more scared of his eyes. The Dragon King seldom fixed his eyes on him, but he found the Dragon King's eyes were like sharp daggers and his secrets would be exposed to him once their eyes met.
