Su Qian spoke out everything uncontrollably, but the more Lu Huan listened, the more frightened he became.
After the deathly silence...he finally understood that simply knowing the truth was not something worth being happy about.
If he had only felt jealous and envious before, then at this moment, he truly felt fear.
I was afraid that she wanted to go back to the so-called China, and I was afraid that after she completed her so-called mission, she would never come back.
During these days, no matter how she quarreled with him, no matter how unhappy he was or how jealous he was of Yan Xuanye.
One thing he had to admit was that he was very happy and at ease with Su Qian around.
No matter how late he came back, he would come to see her. Only when he saw her here could he leave with peace of mind.
But if one day, she left his side...
He felt that he would not be able to accept it.
Even now, just knowing the news, before she left, he had already started to worry...
Su Zhao, don't go, don't leave.
…
Lu Huan didn't know how long she had been sitting in her room. Just as she was about to leave, she heard a commotion in the east yard, as if someone was talking about putting out a fire or something.
Lu Huan suddenly stood up and blew a whistle. Zi Tan, who was guarding the roof, immediately flipped over and landed outside the window.
Zitan pushed open the window and said, "Master!"
Lu Huan asked her, "What's the commotion outside?"
Zitan: "There's a fire at the ancestral hall. I saw Zhong Cang and Zhong Wei both went over there. I think the fire should be put out soon. Master, don't worry too much."
Ancestral hall!?
There was a tablet for his mother enshrined there. Lu Huan didn't have time to think about anything else. He left a word and hurried towards the ancestral hall.
"Keep an eye on Su Zhao, there must not be any mistakes or accidents."
Rosewood: “Yes.”
Lu Huan had been smart all his life, but now he became confused.
He was so focused on his mother's tablet in the ancestral hall that he forgot about the incense burner still burning in Su Qian's room...
He had used the antidote in advance, so no matter how much he smelled the fragrance, he wouldn't be affected by it. But Zitan stayed on the rooftop...
…
The ancestral hall was engulfed in flames and everyone was busy fetching water to put out the fire.
When Lu Huan arrived near the ancestral hall, a loud explosion erupted from the window...
The fire spread rapidly, almost engulfing the entire ancestral hall.
Thick smoke billowed into the sky. Lu Huan smelled a pungent smell of gunpowder and burning. Beneath this smell, he also alertly smelled a smell of gasoline.
It seems that this fire is definitely not an ordinary fire.
Although there were indeed candles lit in the ancestral hall and there were a lot of wooden materials, it would not burn so quickly and so dangerously.
Zhong Cang and Zhong Wei remained calm and led a group of panicked servants to carry out fire-fighting operations.
Lu Huan had no time to hesitate. No one dared to go in, but he knew that he had to go in.
Lu Huan rushed to Zhong Cang and ordered, "Pour water on me!"
Zhong Cang was stunned for a second, then realized what he wanted to do and hesitated for a moment, "Master..."
Lu Huan glared at him and ordered, "Pour it quickly!"
Zhong Cang had no choice but to do as he was told, and while instructing others to pour the water in the bucket on Lu Huan.
The weather was bitterly cold in late autumn, and although they were worried about having buckets of cold water poured over them, they had no choice but to do it.
Zhong Wei also quickly soaked a cloak and coat, "Master, wear this."
The weather has been cold recently, and they feel cold when they are on the rooftop keeping watch at night, so they put on this coat, which is now useful.
Lu Huan quickly wrapped his wet robe tightly around himself, covered his mouth and nose, and rushed into the sea of fire without hesitation...
…
A huge smell of smoke filled the air, and Zitan, who was guarding Su Qian's house, frowned slightly.
Looking at the fire in the distance, I felt a little anxious and regretted that I couldn't go to help.
For some reason, Zitan, who had stayed in Su Qian's room for a long time, suddenly felt a little sleepy. Fortunately, she was a trained killer and her physical endurance was stronger than Su Qian's. She soon realized that something was wrong.
His eyes wandered around the room, finally stopping on the incense burner that was still burning.
She walked over, opened the incense burner and took a look, confirming that it was this smell. Then she went to the table and poured a cup of cold tea into the incense burner.
After doing this, with her keen insight, she sensed an unusual murderous aura.
Zitan turned around suddenly and saw a flash of cold light behind her. She dodged it skillfully, and the dart flew past her hair...
Zitan looked at the newcomer warily, unsure of his movements.
But what is certain is that this person is definitely not coming for her. Her gaze slowly turned to Su Qian who was sleeping on the bed.
I felt a little panicked. If it was aimed at Su Qian, it would be difficult to deal with.
Before leaving, the master instructed her to protect Su Qian well, and she must not make any mistakes!
But the black-clad assassin suddenly appeared, catching her off guard. He was like a beast waiting for its moment, lurking in the shadows, just waiting for the perfect moment.
However, this person was able to remain unnoticed right under her and Lu Huan's noses, so he must have very good kung fu skills.
Zitan was not sure about this man's origins and purpose. He was afraid that he could not defeat him for the time being, or that he had other plans, so he immediately whistled for help.
At this moment, the black-clad assassin swung his sword at her. His swordsmanship was sharp, fast and accurate.
Zi Tan's eyes were deep and resolute, and with the flash of swords and shadows, he resolved one sharp move after another. Both of them were agile and had superb sword skills, and for a while, it was evenly matched who was better.
The killer's eyes were cold, like a sharp knife. "Your skills are good, but compared to me, you're still a little behind."
Zitan: "It's a little too early to say that now."
Zitan exchanged a few moves with him and tested his skills. She knew that her martial arts skills were not as good as his, but she just wanted to delay until others arrived, right?
No matter what, she must protect Su Qian.
Zitan stood in front of Su Qian's bed, in a defensive posture, silently praying that Su Qian would wake up soon.
At least she was awake and knew how to defend herself. It was much better than just lying in bed waiting for someone to kill her.
The killer in black seemed to have seen through her thoughts and attacked her next time. Zitan couldn't stay too far away from Su Qian and was in a dilemma for a moment.
The killer also saw this in her and pretended to attack Su Qian, but Zi Tan neutralized several of his attacks.
In order to lure him away, they attacked all the way towards the window. The man in black pretended to retreat, but in fact he was deliberately leading Zitan to this place.
The black-clad man, wearing Zitan, fought with her for more than ten moves, then crashed her into the window coffin. One of them pulled her arm hard and pulled her out of the window together...
Zi Tan fell to the ground in shock, realizing that she had fallen into his trap...
