ATSWM Chapter 8.2

Chapter 8.2 Fire In Qingliang Courtyard (Part 2)

　　The fire was soon put out, leaving only smoke.

　　Qingliang Courtyard was burnt black thoroughly, the nearby Fengxu Courtyard was also tragically affected, with a half of it also burnt into ashes.

　　After the situation was under control, all of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare for the aftermath.

　　The Guard Commander’s face was entangled and escorted two people that were drenched thoroughly like a chicken in the soup, to Han Shaoling.

　　You Yingyue and Jiang Jinyuan.

　　Han Shaoling: “……”

　　Sang Yuanyuan: “……”

　　This, is purely an accident.

　　She just wants to keep the small life of Jiang Jinyuan and also scare You Yingyue at the same time.

　　Who could have thought there’d be fire?

　　You yingyue was terribly frightened for real. Like a little chick, she hugged Han Shaoling and didn’t let go: “Han Lang! Han Lang! He, he ran to my courtyard and set the fire to burn me! Han Lang upholds justice for me wuwuwu[1]……I’m so scared, wuwuwu……”

　　You Yingyue used to be so arrogant. A large part of the reason is that she has Hui Yi, a strong cultivator in Clear Spirit Base by her side——She killed people and set fire at the front and Hui Yi would always take care of the aftermath for her. Now Huiyi had been executed by Han Shaoling, she seems to have lost her eyes and arms. Now met with mishap, her mind immediately collapsed.

　　Jiang Jinyuan was also frightened. He was awakened by the smoke. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found himself lying on the same bed with Han Shaoling’s concubine. Dark smoke billows behind the curtain, all frightens him so much that it just feels like being reborn and then dies immediately afterwards. He wakes You Yingyue up at once and beckons her to flee outside.

　　As a result, not only the woman did not feel grateful towards him, instead, she pulled and yelled at him. While the two were entangling with each other, they saw someone carrying a huge bucket rushed into the room, and gave the man and woman on the bed a biting cold.

　　It’s really inexcusable.

　　”Teacher, It’s not me who set the fire. I also don’t know how I was there……I didn’t do anything, really. Teacher……” Jiang Jinyuan is withering like a pheasant that has been hit by a rainstorm.

　　”Han Lang upholds justice for me, wuwu, wuwu……Gah[2]!” Half way crying, You Yingyue suddenly saw You Wuming standing on the side, leering at her with a faint smile on his face. She was so scared that her tears, snots, and voice were all choked back inside. The drenched clothes seemed to freeze in an instant, so cold that made her start to shiver and tremble.

　　”Ro, Ro, Royal, Brother.” She let go of Han Shaoling and moved towards You Wuming with two trembling legs.

　　She originally wanted to kowtow delicately, but halfway through, her leg became soft and fell straight downwards, conveniently carrying out the big ceremony of ‘casting the head and limbs on the ground’.

　　You Wuming softly chuckled.

　　”Royal Younger Sister, haven’t met for years, but you have better manners than before. It seems that, King Han teaches you well. “

　　As soon as this man opened his mouth, it seemed to bring along the aura of silence, and in the twinkling of an eye, neither the sound of crow nor sparrow could be heard around.

　　Occasionally there was a crackle of burnt wood, which appeared unusually abrupt.

　　Jiang Jinyuan was also frightened into stupidity.

　　The ruins of the whole fireground was like a silent boundary, frozen up strangely. All the focus is on You Yingyue’s body, waiting for her to break the ice.

　　You Yingyue just straightly fainted.
