~ UNPRECEDENTED FEAR ~
Seeing that Yue Wang didn’t say anything, Mu Yunyao didn’t bother with him anymore . She lightly flexed her wrist and continued to write the Buddhist scriptures .
The Scripture Pavilion was completely silent . Occasionally, there would be the sound of lights exploding, and a faint crackling sound could be heard .
Yue Wang sat to the side and looked at Mu Yunyao as she quietly copied down Buddhist scriptures . Her eyes were bright and clear, and her breath was calm . The strokes in her hands were especially meticulous, giving people a sense of safety as they watched from the side .
Mu Yunyao’s mind was completely immersed in the Buddhist scriptures, completely ignoring Yue Wang . She was in the middle of writing seriously when her heart suddenly skipped a beat . A burst of panic caused the brush in her hands to become unsteady, and a droplet of ink dripped onto the paper .
“Yunyao, what’s the matter with you?”
Mu Yunyao’s forehead wrinkled, and her fingers unconsciously touched her chest . “What time is it now?”
“It’s not that late yet, just around . . . . ”
Before Yue Wang could finish speaking, the door of the Scripture Pavilion was suddenly pushed open . Si Qin, whose head was covered with sweat, ran in quickly . Seeing that Mu Yunyao and Yue Wang were safe and sound, her face turned white: “Miss, are you alright?”
Hearing this, Mu Yunyao’s pupils constricted, and she fiercely stood up from the table . The brush in her hand landed on her pure white clothes and drew a long black ink mark, but she didn’t pay it any heed as she stumbled towards the entrance of the Scripture Pavilion .
Yue Wang’s expression froze as he quickly rushed over to Mu Yunyao and supported her shoulders . “Don’t be afraid!” Mu Yunyao didn’t even have time to react before he wrapped his arm around her waist, hugged her in his arms, and made his way quickly to the prayer hall .
Mu Yunyao tightly held onto the clothes covering Yue Wang’s chest, and her entire body slightly trembled as if it was a bowstring that had been pulled taut to the extreme and would break in the next second .
Just now, Si Qin came over in such a hurry and asked if she had anything wrong . Someone must have told her in advance that something had happened to her . She rushed over to check and realized that nothing had happened to her . It made her suddenly remember that this was a way to lure a tiger out of the mountain .
Some people wanted to move Si Qin and Si Qi away from Mother . Once Mother was alone, then . . .
Mu Yunyao’s fingers tightened . Because she had used too much strength, her fingers were covered in a blue-white glow .
As Yue Wang hurried over, he looked down at her . Seeing her this way, he felt as if his heart was being squeezed tight by someone .
As they approached the prayer hall, Yue Wang placed Mu Yunyao down .
Si Qin, who had followed her, quickly supported her and rushed into the hall . But only Su Qingwu, Su Yaxian, and the others were left in the hall . Su Yuyi and Su Qing were nowhere to be seen .
“Where’s my mother?”
Su Qingwu stood up, and when he saw Yue Wang, who was following closely behind, and his pupils shrank . Why would Yunyao be together with Yue Wang? “Why are you here in such a hurry?”
Mu Yunyao’s heart was in a complete panic as she grabbed onto Su Qingwu’s clothes, “Where’s my mother?”
“Aunt just returned to the room . . . . ” Su Qingwu furrowed his brows, noticing that there was something wrong with her expression . He was a little worried in his heart, “Yunyao, what happened?”
Mu Yunyao ignored him and turned around to walk out . Just as she walked out of the hall door, she heard the sound of a gong being knocked . The faint sounds of clamoring could be heard: “Find water!”
Mu Yunyao lost her balance, her legs went weak, and almost falling to the ground . Luckily, Si Qin had a quick reaction and supported her, “Miss!”
Mu Yunyao wants to run to the side room, but she feels that her legs are out of control . The more anxious she was, the more she couldn’t even take a step forward . Don’t panic, don’t panic, something might not happen, so after she tried to console herself several times in her heart, she turned her head to look for the figure of the Yue Wang, only to see that Yue Wang had already quickly moved towards the direction of the side room .
“Si Qin . . . Quick …”
Seeing Mu Yunyao’s expression, Su Qingwu suddenly reacted, “Yunyao, I’m going over to take a look now . It might not be aunty’s side . ”
Si Qin holds Mu Yunyao to walk towards the side room quickly . While walking, she secretly scolded herself, “Blame it all on this servant . After hearing that Miss was in accident, I become flustered . Thinking that Madam would not be in any major incidents with Si Qi by her side, but I didn’t expect that this would be a diversion . ”
Mu Yunyao didn’t pay any attention to Si Qin . At this time, all the sounds in her ears had already disappeared . She only wants to return to the room quickly . Perhaps all her guesses had been a false alarm, and her mother was fine . She is sitting in the side room waiting for her to come back with a smile .
A fiery light soared into the sky, dyeing half of the night sky red!
At this time of the year, the Capital was already dry and dusty . In addition, the wind at the Baohua Temple was so strong . With the help of wind, the fire flared, and sparks flew in all directions .
Many monks and pilgrims came to save the fire after hearing the news, but the fire was too big, so the water would not have much effect .
Looking at the room was surrounded by raging flames, Mu Yunyao tried her best to widen her eyes . Her voice was so hoarse that it could not be described, “Mother!”
Mu Yunyao pushed Si Qin away, her face devoid of blood . Her entire body was trembling like a sieve, but her steps were firm as she charged towards the burning room .
Su Qingwu hurriedly pulled her back . “I’ll send someone to put out the fire, but don’t be rash . Perhaps Aunt is not in the room . ”
Mu Yunyao suddenly turned her head . The hatred in her eyes was like a tide, surging downwards as if it could drown someone out, “Let go of me!”
Su Qingwu’s heart trembled . It was just that the hatred in her eyes was too astonishing, as though she was an enemy that wouldn’t rest until he died . With just a glance, she was able to make him tremble, “Yunyao, calm down!”
Mu Yunyao reached out to pull off Su Qingwu’s hand, but she couldn’t find enough strength . In a state of emotional breakdown, she directly lifted her hand and fiercely bit onto the back of Su Qingwu’s hand . She mustered all her strength, and immediately after taking a bite, the smell of blood gushed out, causing her to be unable to suppress her urge to vomit .
Su Qingwu subconsciously loosened his grip . Her forehead furrowed, and he didn’t seem to care about his injuries at all . “Don’t move . I’ll go in and help you find someone . ”
Mu Yunyao completely ignored him . After struggling free, she immediately rushed into the room .
“Miss!” Si Qin followed closely . Just as the two of them arrived at the door, the main beam of the side room burned and collapsed suddenly, which was red and roaring .
The house collapsed, there would be no more survivors!
Si Qin stepped forward to block Mu Yunyao’s path . “Miss, the house has collapsed, and we can’t enter!”
Mu Yunyao tried her best to open her eyes wide, and her pitch-black pupils covered in layers of blood-red light from the flames .
Si Qin quickly pulled her back and spoke with an uncontrollably trembling voice, “Miss, don’t scare me . Perhaps Madam isn’t inside . Maybe she is looking for you right everywhere now?”
Mu Yunyao didn’t have the slightest reaction . At this time, she couldn’t hear anything . She only feels that the whole figure has been immersed in an ice-cold pond and was unceasingly sinking . The ice-cold water poured into her mouth and nose, blocking all her breathing . No matter how hard she struggles, she will never see the sun again . . . . . .
