Chapter 1874 [Shang Xie] Lure the Tiger Away from the Mountain
Ever since Xia Fuyi knocked over the candlestick and nearly set the house on fire, the sect leader ordered that no candles should be lit in Fuyi Pavilion. Therefore, the house guarded by the secret guards was always dark at night.
It is still the same now.
When the entire Tianji Sect was in chaos, only the Fuyi Pavilion remained dark and silent as before. Compared with the chaos and noise over there, it was like a completely different world.
"She didn't seem to be woken up?"
In the darkness of the night, someone murmured this.
The secret guards responsible for guarding Fuyi Pavilion during the day were not the same group as those at night. Even though they were not disciples of the same pavilion, they had already become familiar with each other after working together for a month. Occasionally, they would talk to each other when they did not need to be on high alert. For example, at this moment, after the initial voice, the air was silent for a moment before another voice was heard.
"I heard that blind people always sleep more deeply than normal people because they can't see any light at all, so they are not easily woken up."
There was another moment of silence before a low "hmm" was heard.
"Why hasn't the fire at Linglong Pavilion been put out yet?"
"The fire must be quite big."
"Don't we really need to go over and help?"
"The Sect Master said that unless it concerns the life and death of the entire Tianji Sect, we cannot leave Fuyi Pavilion until we receive orders."
"But if there really is a fire over there, isn't it a matter of life and death? Linglong Pavilion and Jiange are interdependent. If the fire can't be put out, it is very likely to burn down Jiange as well."
The leaves rustled in the wind and the air suddenly became silent.
In this silence, someone suddenly came hurriedly from outside the corridor and said in a low voice,
"Why are you still here? Go put out the fire!"
The air was stagnant for a moment, and the treetops outside the corridor suddenly shook slightly. A cold voice also lowered its voice.
"Without the Sect Master's order, we cannot leave Fuyi Pavilion."
"It's already this late and you're still following these rules! There are too many people guarding Fuyi Pavilion! As a result, there aren't enough people over there to put out the fire! If you don't send some people over, the ancient books in Jiange will be burned to ashes!"
There was a silence.
The treetops were still swaying slightly in the shadows, but no one appeared in the corridor.
"The Sect Master has been away for the past two days. If he returns and sees the burned-down Sword Pavilion, and learns that you're still incapable of adapting and allowing the fire to spread, don't you think he won't be angry?"
The man glanced coldly at Fuyi Pavilion and said,
"This person has been going to bed early these days. I'm afraid he's already fast asleep. If you leave two of you here, how can a blind girl with no martial arts skills really defeat two of the Sect Master's personal guards?"
It seems that he was finally persuaded.
The shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, and then a black shadow appeared silently under the corridor.
"Six and Seven stay here, the rest of you come with me to put out the fire."
Probably the head of the secret guards who was in charge of night watch, said this in a low and cold voice.
The person who came to ask for help could not wait any longer, and turned around and left in a hurry while urging.
A group of dark shadows that seemed darker than the night fell silently to the ground and quickly flew towards the direction of the fire.
There were only two secret guards left outside Fuyi Pavilion, and in a blink of an eye, complete silence was restored.
At the same time, the girl who had fallen asleep in the room opened her eyes silently.
