Chapter 132 Xie Yan, are you crying?
"Shut up!" Xie Yan's eyes were fixed on the palace door engulfed in flames. He kicked Madam Wei unconscious, but the bloodshot in his eyes did not diminish at all.
"Fifth brother!" Ruan Yunjian hurried over with his men, but his voice stopped abruptly when he saw the hellish scene before him.
The next moment, he saw Xie Yan take off his outer robe without hesitation, throw it into the lotus pond in the yard, soak it in cold water, and then put it on his body.
Before anyone could react, he had already broken through the flames like a flash of white lightning and plunged into the blazing Palace of Consciousness!
Ruan Yunjian's eyes were bloodshot, "Fifth brother, come back!!!"
The beams and pillars in the hall had already been crackling and could collapse at any time. If he went in now, he would be seeking his own death!
In the thick smoke, Xie Yan staggered in, and the scorching air wave almost blew him out.
He covered his mouth and nose with his wet robe and called out hoarsely, "Shengsheng! Shengsheng!!!"
Whenever he thought that Ruan Yunsheng might be burned by the flames, his heart felt like it was pierced by thousands of steel needles, and the pain was so severe that he could hardly breathe.
"Where are you... answer me..." His voice was shrouded in thick smoke, trembling with brokenness.
Ruan Yunsheng used all his strength and finally dragged his unconscious third brother into the secret passage under the base of the Buddha statue.
Unexpectedly, just as she closed the heavy stone door, she heard a familiar shout from outside. The voice penetrated the thick smoke and flames, carrying a kind of anxiety she had never heard before.
Her heart skipped a beat!
No way?
Without time to think about it, Ruan Yunsheng gritted his teeth, opened the mechanism, and crawled out of the secret passage again.
At this time, the hall was already filled with thick smoke, and the flames made the doors and windows red. The hot air waves carried ashes and blew towards people, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
As soon as she stood up, she saw a disheveled figure stumbling and groping in the sea of fire. It was Xie Yan.
"Xie Yan!" She couldn't help but shout, but the words were choked by the thick smoke as soon as they came out of her mouth. The violent coughing made her bend over.
Xie Yan turned around suddenly, and his bloodshot eyes suddenly lit up in the firelight.
He ignored the flaming wood chips falling from above his head and ran towards her like a madman.
Just as he rushed in front of Ruan Yunsheng, a crisp "click" sound came from above his head!
A burnt beam came down with sparks, right on top of Ruan Yunsheng's head!
"Be careful!" Xie Yan's pupils suddenly shrank, and he almost instinctively rushed over, pressed her tightly in his arms and turned around to protect her.
With a dull thud, the beam hit his back heavily.
Xie Yan groaned and staggered, but he didn't loosen his arms at all.
The thick smoke made his throat burn, and his voice was hoarse as a broken gong, but he only raised his hand to touch Ruan Yunsheng's cheek and asked anxiously: "Shengsheng...are you okay? Are you hurt?"
The warm breath of the person in his arms brushed against his neck, so real that it made him tremble.
The thick smoke choked Ruan Yunsheng so much that she couldn't speak. She shook her head, grabbed Xie Yan's wrist tightly, and dragged him into the secret passage.
The heavy stone door slammed shut, blocking out the flames and thick smoke outside, and the air finally became clearer.
Xie Yan's hands were tightly gripping her, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if she would disappear from his sight if he let go.
Ruan Yunsheng leaned against the cold stone wall, breathing heavily. When he recovered, he looked up and glared at him, his voice filled with fear and anger: "Xie Yan, are you crazy? You dare to rush in in this situation? Who let you in?"
If there were no secret passage, with the raging fire outside, breaking in would be a dead end!
Xie Yan just stared at her without blinking, his eyes frighteningly red, as if blood was about to seep out.
My throat felt like it was clogged with hot cotton and I couldn't utter a single word.
The moment he saw the fire outside the hall and heard Madam Wei say "all dead", he felt as if the sky was falling and the earth was collapsing.
He didn't even dare to think about what he would do if he rushed in and saw a charred corpse.
The overwhelming despair almost crushed him, and he couldn't care about anything else.
Ruan Yunsheng's heart trembled when he looked at her. Suddenly, she froze for a moment. She raised her hand and stroked Xie Yan's cheek, hesitantly saying, "Xie Yan...are you crying?"
The moisture in the corners of his eyes gleamed in the dim light. It wasn't dizziness, it was real tears.
"I...I didn't mean to scold you," Ruan Yunsheng explained softly, her fingertips gently brushing the corner of his eye. "It's really too dangerous...Look, I'm fine, aren't I?"
But the more she wiped away the tears, the more they came, and they fell hotly on the back of her hand.
Ruan Yunsheng's heart softened completely, and he coaxed him softly, "Fifth brother, don't cry... I'm really fine..."
Xie Yan took a deep breath, and the breath was so rapid that it had a strong nasal sound.
The next second, he pulled her into his arms with such force that he almost rubbed her into his bones and blood.
He lowered his head, aimed at Ruan Yunsheng's lips which were slightly open due to panting, and kissed her fiercely with traces of tears still on them.
The kiss contained the trembling of fear, the ecstasy of regaining what had been lost, and the surging emotions that had been suppressed for too long. It was hot like fireworks, burning people to the point of numbness.
Ruan Yunsheng was stunned, her eyelashes trembling violently. She could clearly feel Xie Yanhuan's arm around her waist shaking, and even the kiss was trembling unsteadily.
She closed her eyes, raised her arms to wrap around his neck, stood on tiptoes, and took the initiative to move forward.
In the darkness, there were only the intertwined breathing of the two people and the equally violent heartbeats in each other's chests.
After an unknown amount of time, Xie Yan finally let go of her, but he still held her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub the lost warmth into his bones and blood.
In order to track down the Yin State spies, he had not slept for several nights and went to great lengths to capture Wu Li Meng alive.
He rode his horse to Jingjue Temple overnight and saw the flames rising from the Juexing Hall. The brief moment of fear almost exhausted all his energy.
At this moment, the tension suddenly relaxed and the string finally broke. Xie Yan tilted his head and leaned on Ruan Yunsheng's shoulder, completely losing consciousness.
"Xie Yan!" Ruan Yunsheng hurriedly helped him sit down. When his fingertips touched his hot forehead, his heart tightened.
Not long after, there were chaotic footsteps and familiar shouts coming from the other end of the secret passage. It was Ruan Yunjian and his men who arrived.
"Shengsheng!" Ruan Yunjian rushed in and saw the three people leaning against the stone wall. His tense back suddenly relaxed and he breathed a sigh of relief.
He first glanced at his unconscious third brother and Xie Yan, then his gaze fell on Ruan Yunsheng, his voice filled with fear: "Are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Ruan Yunsheng shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go out first."
Ruan Yunjian nodded, bent down to help Ruan Yunbo up, and signaled the guards to help Xie Yan.
But although Xie Yan fell into a coma, his right hand was holding Ruan Yunsheng's left wrist tightly like an iron clamp, and no matter how the guards tried to pry it apart, it would not move at all.
Ruan Yunsheng sighed and said to the guards, "You guys hold his other side."
