...well, that reaction is far less intimidating than he'd expected, but he would be genuinely sorry for the heart attack! It just felt silly in Sizhui's opinion to go right in without considering if they could see anything by looking through the window first.
Alright, admittedly, the way Jiang Cheng shouts following his not-so-appropriate decision to go ahead might be somewhat menacing and had the other cultivator actually treated him like an insubordinate puppy-dog, he would've felt guiltier. Which is why when Jiang Cheng makes his way through what remains of the window and attempts bringing him with, Sizhui follows with very little complaint.
Except for one: the overwhelming heat makes it almost impossible to even breathe, so if they could hurry, that'd be great. “I... I said I couldn't see anyone!” They're already inside though, they might as well look, shouldn't they?
The crackling draws his attention upward and before they end up getting crushed by the deteriorating beam, Sizhui springs into action, “Look out!” he exclaims, hooking Jiang Cheng's elbow then bodily moving them both out of the way just as the burning rafter tumbles down behind him. After letting out a breath he hadn't realized he'd been holding then raising a hand to cover his face with his sleeve, “Not to be rude, Jiang-zongzhu, but ah... we should get moving.”
