71 Chapter 71 Who are you
◎【Host and system unbinding progress: 100%】◎
When Yunhe arrived at Chunfengfulan, although many dusty servants were carrying buckets of water and rushing to put out the fire, the fire had already spread so fiercely that it was difficult to put it out with human power alone.
Yunhe's chest was breathing rapidly, but he looked around very calmly. However, with just one look, he was sure that Yuliu was not there.
"Where's Yuliu?" Yun He pulled over the owner of Chunfeng Fulan Tower, who was standing outside the crowd directing the firefighting. "Is she out yet?"
"No." Master Chen, his red robe covered in dust and sweating profusely from anxiety, was suddenly questioned by Yun He and looked puzzled. "How could she have time to come to my place right now? Why aren't you two together?"
Yun He quickly glanced at the burning Chun Feng Fu Lan Building. The rapidly spreading fire left him no time to explain the whole story to Master Chen. He simply asked decisively, "Did you see Yu Liu's brother Su Yun Yan just now?"
"You mean Su Yunyan? I've seen him before." Master Chen, having rarely been asked a question he could answer, breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves rolled up. "He came down from the right side of the third floor. The fire wasn't that big then. He even said hello when he saw me... Hey! What are you doing?"
Without waiting for Master Chen to finish his words, Yun He already understood that this was a Hongmen Banquet designed by Su Yunyan. He couldn't help but frown and blame himself for why he let Yuliu come to the banquet alone this time, and why he came so late this time!
He turned around and grabbed someone's bucket, then poured the water over himself, soaking himself thoroughly, as if he was ready to rush straight into the burning building.
"Brother, don't be impulsive. Think positively. If Miss Yu were trapped in there now, she would definitely find a way to send out a distress signal. Since there's no movement now, maybe she's already gone somewhere else?" Master Chen grabbed Yun He's hand. "If not, I'll send someone in to help you search! Why bother going there yourself?"
Yun He directly tore off the sleeves of Master Shen Lou, dipped them in water, and prepared to use them to cover his mouth and nose.
Upon seeing this, Master Chen became even more anxious: "Brother, you were seriously injured some time ago and have only recovered a few days ago. Now you rush into the Fire Tower, are you trying to kill yourself?!"
"Brother, don't be impulsive. Think positively. If Miss Yu was trapped in there now, she would definitely find a way to send out a distress signal. Since there's no movement now, maybe she already left somewhere else?" Master Chen grabbed Yun He's hand. "If not, I'll send someone in to help you search! Why bother going there yourself?"
Yun He directly tore off the sleeves of Master Shen Lou, dipped them in water, and prepared to use them to cover his mouth and nose.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Master Shen became even more anxious: "Brother, you were seriously injured some time ago and you've only recovered a few days ago. Now you're rushing into the Fire Tower. Who are you? Are you going to risk your life for her?!"
Yunhe's movements suddenly stopped.
Master Shen was overjoyed and continued to persuade: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely..."
"Yes." Yun He held the torn sleeve of Master Shen in his hand and looked down at him, "Shen Yuan, you should know..."
Master Chen fell silent immediately, as if Yun He was holding not a piece of his sleeve, but his heart.
right.
From the moment he took over the name "Shen Yuan" that was abandoned by Yun He, he should have known that Yun He did not care about his life and was not afraid of death.
"Have you remembered everything?" Yun He lowered his eyes and looked at Master Shen lightly. "Everything that once belonged to Shen Yuan, whether it was money, power, fame, or love and hate, now belongs to you. I am just an idle person in this world, but you can't die so easily. After all, you still have to live well and find out the mastermind behind this fire, right?"
Master Chen was silent, realizing that he could no longer persuade Yun He. He could only watch in silence as Yun He turned around and resolutely stepped into the fire.

hot.
The scorching heat, like being in a flaming mountain, triggered the instinct for survival in the unconscious Yuliu. She breathed with difficulty, vaguely guessing that it was Su Yunyan who set the fire and wanted to kill her.
Yuliu felt that she had not been so embarrassed for a long time.
His hair was wet and messy, sticking to his eyebrows. The silk clothes on his body were sticky and uncomfortable, as if they were about to melt in the temperature. The only thing he was thankful for was that the fire did not start here. Although there were rolling heat waves around, fortunately there was no real fire burning.
So Yuliu gritted her teeth, grabbed the legs of the wooden chair for leverage, and supported herself with the chair before she managed to stand up.
The wooden window behind him had been sealed for a long time. There were only two options before Yuliu. One was to stay where he was and wait for rescue, and the other was to walk out of the door in front of him and go to other rooms to see if there was any way to call for help.
“Cough! Cough cough…”
Yuliu felt weak and sore all over, and it was difficult for her to stand up halfway with the support of a wooden chair. She pushed aside her sweaty hair and took a deep breath, but she still couldn't help inhaling the hot air mixed with smoke, which felt like rust cutting her throat. She coughed a few times in discomfort.
She looked up at the closed wooden door in front of her, and for the first time she felt that a room that was too big was not a good thing.
The room temperature gradually rose, and the skin holding onto the wooden chair felt like it was about to be burned.
If you stay here any longer, you will end up in flames sooner or later.
Yuliu gritted her teeth and forced herself to be more conscious. Holding her breath, she tried to walk towards the wooden door that led to her life. However, the effect of the drug was too strong. She had just taken half a step when her weak ankles were like cotton and could not support her. She immediately lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The wooden door not far away seemed to become increasingly distant. Under the influence of the drug, Yuliu gradually lost consciousness again.

The moment Yunhe pushed open the door and saw Yuliu lying on the ground almost unconscious, the panic he had been running all the way to finally subside.
However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the beam just above the elm and willow trees ignited by a cluster of flames, making crackling sounds in the chaotic sea of fire.
Yunhe's pupils suddenly shrank, his muscles tensed up, and he subconsciously ran towards Yuliu.
Just before Yuliu fell into complete coma, she felt herself falling into a warm and trembling embrace.
And the mechanical and cold voice of the system.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission. ]
[Congratulations to the host for completing the side quest. ]
【Congratulations to the host for receiving the return reward. 】
[The host and the system are being unbound. Current unbinding progress: 0%]
[When the progress reaches 100%, the host will automatically return to the original correct world line]
【……】

Yuliu's body fell into a deep sleep.
However, her sea of consciousness began to flow, and the pure white mist around her moved slowly, as if the time here was also infinitely stretched.
Yu Liu knew that she hadn't completely untied the system yet. She stood up with one hand and shouted angrily at the void, "System, what do you mean? Why did I suddenly complete the world line mission just now? I clearly didn't let the male and female protagonists..."
The system determines the host mission completion points as follows:
1. The main mission reaches a critical point: the hero Xiao Tianmin and the treacherous minister Su Yunyan form an alliance, achieving the "unification of the world" line, and the heroine Su Yunyue can no longer escape the hero's world;
2. Important judgment point for achieving the side quest: The villain Yun He (formerly known as Shen Yuan) sacrificed himself to save the female supporting character Su Yuliu in the fire, successfully correcting the cause and effect line of the "Cremation of the Brothel".
All important world lines have returned to normal, allowing the host to return successfully. 】
After hearing this, Yu Liu was furious but then laughed: "Are you using me to pave the way for Xiao Tianmin's throne?"
The system did not respond.
Yu Liu pressed on, "And what does it mean that Yun He sacrificed himself to save me? What is our connection to the Great Cremation Brothel?"
As Yuliu was speaking, she suddenly stopped, and many scenes that she once thought were hallucinations and dreams suddenly emerged in her mind.
However, those scenes were real, and they were traces of her life as Su Yuliu in this world.
The first time Yuliu and Yunhe met was during the cremation of the brothel.
The mother of Prince Xiao Si did not hesitate to set fire to the building in order to hunt down the prince born by the palace maid. Xiao Yunhe was the target of the hunt. He had been hiding for many days without food or water, but still could not escape the hunt. He thought that if he fled to a crowded place, it would be inconvenient for the other party to attack him alone, but he did not expect that the world would be so cruel.
So he wondered, could this be his fate?
He should have died in this imperial city.
With this mood in mind, Xiao Yunhe casually walked into the half-open broken door.
He thought everyone was fleeing and no one would stay in the room waiting to die. However, Xiao Yunhe did not expect that he would see a thin little girl kneeling beside the old bed, her face covered with tears.
Xiao Yuliu originally had the intention to die.
Her seriously ill mother passed away completely on this day. She couldn't imagine how she would survive alone in such a mixed world without her mother's company.
It would be better for her to stay here and accompany her mother today.
Xiao Yuliu was thinking desperately, but was suddenly surprised to find that a stranger of the same age as her was standing silently at the door.
Little Yuliu asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm sorry." Xiao Yunhe half lowered his head and explained in a low voice, "I got lost and walked here accidentally."
"You don't know the way here, do you?" Xiao Yuliu looked at the stray person, wiped the tears from her face, and reached out to Xiao Yunhe, "I'll take you out."
"You finally remembered." The system said, "Yun He was supposed to perish in the sea of fire that day, but you saved him and became a variable in the world line."
"He survived, and from then on, the rest of his life was filled with hatred, but you ended your life early. Now, the cause and effect between you has been resolved, and it is time for you to wake up again."
