Li Muge panicked.
She had never felt so flustered; she even forgot to put on her shoes and ran barefoot down the steps.
He rushed out of the Xuanguang Sect with the Qingming Sword in hand.
But there was no way he could reach the town on foot. Li Muge covered his head, his hair disheveled, and tried desperately to remember.
“My master taught me sword control techniques, yes, sword control techniques.”
Li Muge put his index fingers together.
Silently recite the incantation.
After several attempts, the Qingming Sword remained unresponsive. For the first time, Li Muge felt utterly useless, unable to even control a sword.
If the Regent really is in trouble.
She will never forgive herself in her life.
"No, I refuse to believe it, I can't fly on a sword." Li Muge bit her tongue until it bled, trying to clear her mind.
I tried again to control the Qingming Sword with my mind.
Fortunately, the Qingming Sword slowly rose up.
Li Muge didn't have time to think too much. He jumped onto the Qingming Sword and controlled it to fly into the sky at top speed.
Flames soared into the sky above the town, and even Li Muge noticed it from high above. She tried to use her magic to get closer to the town, but found that a strange black mist was hovering above it.
This made Li Muge increasingly uneasy.
Without time to think, Li Muge directly controlled the Qingming Sword and rushed in.
As soon as the Qingming Sword entered the town, it immediately lost its magic power and plummeted downwards.
Li Muge fell heavily to the ground, but still managed to limp up. Stumbling along, clutching the Qingming Sword, he ran to the place where the water was flowing, searching everywhere for the Regent.
The townspeople carried buckets of water, trying to extinguish the flames, but strangely, the fires were not afraid of the water at all.
Moreover, the more water you pour, the bigger the fire becomes, like oil.
"Let me go! My young master is still inside!" Wei Tao tried to rush in, but was held back tightly by several people.
"Young man, don't be foolish. This fire is so dangerous; if you go in, you're likely to die."
"Yes, I know you're loyal, but loyalty is nothing compared to life."
People around them offered their advice, one after another.
Upon hearing Wei Tao's words, Li Muge deduced that the Regent was inside. He immediately grabbed his sword and rushed into the flames. By the time those around him saw him, it was too late.
Everyone thought that Li Muge rushed in because she wanted to die for the young master inside.
Even Wei Tao thinks so.
Waaaaah, I'm so touched.
True friendship is revealed in times of adversity.
Contrary to her usual naive and foolish demeanor, the princess was surprisingly devoted to the regent, even risking her life for him.
No one expected Li Muge to come.
Yun Qi hadn't expected this either.
He was trapped in the room, with the doors and windows sealed shut. It was obvious that the arsonist wanted to kill him without leaving a trace.
Yun Qi saw that he had nowhere to escape.
He simply sat lazily in the recliner.
Waiting to be consumed by the raging fire.
It's better to be dead, it's just a pity that I can't watch this world turn into hell with my own eyes, it's such a regret.
Yun Qi closed his eyes.
He had witnessed too much ugliness in the world and had long since lost interest in it.
"Bang_"
Just as Yun Qi was awaiting death, the wall suddenly collapsed with a crash.
Yun Qi opened his narrow eyes, his gaze empty, and met Li Muge's angry stare from outside the wall.
Yes, Li Muge was furious.
She discovered that the doors and windows were under a spell, and they couldn't be opened even with a sword. Fortunately, the murderer made a mistake.
No spell was cast on the wall.
As a result, Li Muge was only wearing a white undergarment, and her hair was almost burned, making her look like a female ghost wandering in the middle of the night.
After smashing this wall.
What is the Regent doing?
sleep.
Li Muge wanted to curse.
Yun Qi's pupils dilated slightly, and he said with a hint of disbelief, "Li, Mu Ge."
How did you end up here…?
"Yun Qi, do you even have a brain? Is this the time to be saying these things?" Li Muge angrily dragged the Regent out.
You could tell she was very angry.
This was the first time she had addressed the regent by his given name.
Yun Qi was slightly taken aback.
Li Muge was speechless. How could this person be spacing out when life and death were at stake?
She grabbed Yun Qi's wrist and pulled him up: "Hurry up and go, Regent. You want to die, but I don't."
Li Muge grabbed Yun Qi's wrist, and the two escaped from the flames.
Yun Qi wanted to ask why he had come to save him if he was so afraid of death, but his gaze fell on Li Muge's already burned feet.
The words he wanted to say were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get them out.
Outside the inn.
Wei Tao knelt on the ground, a grown man crying so miserably.
She ended up crying for a long time.
Li Muge and Yun Qi ran out hand in hand.
Just one second after they ran out.
The inn building finally succumbed to the scorching fire and collapsed with a roar.
___
"Thank goodness, Regent, we escaped." Li Muge's eyes seemed to sparkle with starlight, stirring ripples in Yun Qi's heart, which had been as still as water.
"Regent, what's wrong?" After escaping danger, Li Muge belatedly realized that the soles of his feet were in great pain.
It must have been burned when it stepped on a flooded area.
But she remained silent, fearing the regent would notice.
Li Muge knew that he was indeed a bit simple-minded, dull-witted, and not very likable.
Even with her personality, she sensed that the Regent was not in a good state.
He felt as if he were shrouded in darkness, unable to breathe.
Yun Qi's gloomy eyes fell on Li Muge.
