Master Above [9]
With one leg, she kicked the door that was about to be burned down. As soon as she rushed in, she immediately heard the crying and coughing sounds inside the room.
“Pei Yu, your father can’t be saved anymore. Quickly leave! Cough…,” Dong Ling said as she anxiously tried to persuade her.
Hearing Dong Ling’s voice, Huang Bei Yue’s spirit was roused. She took out an ice feather to sweep away the fire surrounding her before walking in.
“I’m not leaving, let go of me! Let me go! Dad, dad, wake up, cough…”
“Let’s go Pei Yu,” Dong Ling shouted. However, Pei Yu had already fainted.
Huang Bei Yue rushed inside and wept the ice feathers over. The violent and raging flames were immediately extinguished. A cold aura surrounded them because of the ice feather. When Dong Ling felt the coldness, she turned around and became overjoyed.
“Miss, you finally came. Steward Zhou, he…” Dong Ling held the unconscious Pei Yu and her tone showed her self blame.
Huang Bei Yue looked at Steward Zhou in the corner. He was pressed down by a burning wood pillar that had collapsed. He had already taken his last breath.
He was already beaten by wooden planks before this, making him unable to walk. So after the fire started, he couldn’t run away, he could only wait for death.
Huang Bei Yue was depressed. Since Steward Zhou died, then there would be one less witness. Don’t know how full of themselves Xiao Yuan Cheng and Concubine Qin will be!
However, there was nothing she could do at the moment. She walked over to Dong Ling and took Pei Yu’s hand. She then said to Dong Ling, “Quickly, let’s go!”
Two people, one on Pei Yu’s left and one on Pei Yu’s right, helped her out. With ice feather in her hand, the surrounding flames didn’t dare to approach them. When they walked into the courtyard, Concubine Fang was still in the Ice Luan Spirit Bird’s claw, trembling in fear with a stunned expression on her face.
Huang Bei Yue handed Pei Yu to Concubine Fang and coldly said, “Concubine Fang, you’ve seen my true face. Originally, I want to dispose of you. However, since I was young, you had shown me a lot of love, so I can’t be an ungrateful person. As long as you keep my secret, I definitely won’t hurt you.”
Concubine Fang immediately nodded her head. “Third Miss, I… I won’t say anything. With how powerful you are now, there’s now hope for the residence of Princess Zhang”
Huang Bei Yue trust Concubine Fang a little. When Princess Zhang was still alive, Concubine Fang was one of the few people who was able to talk to Princess Zhang for a while. Although her personality was cold, she treated Princess Zhang with complete courtesy and respect.
On the other hand, she didn’t pay much attention to Xiao Yuan Cheng. Princess Zhang had treated her much more affectionately than other concubines.
After Princess Zhang had passed away, Huang Bei Yue was often bullied in the residence, and it was also Concubine Fang who had repeatedly protected her.
Otherwise, if it was Concubine Xue or Concubine Qin who had seen her true face, she wouldn’t have shown the slightest bit of mercy and end their life!
“Let’s go out first.” Huang Bei Yue nodded towards the Ice Luan Spirit Bird. The Ice Luan Spirit Bird opened its mouth wide, thick ice shards immediately came out and the flames in front of them completely disappeared. At the same time, the Ice Luan Spirit Bird flapped its huge wings and flew up into the fiery red sky, disappearing in the next moment.
The few of them supported each other as they slowly walked out of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion. The people standing outside of the Flowing Cloud Pavilion didn’t even dare to make a sound when they saw the people coming out. Some of them that were carrying buckets of water, immediately went up to her to receive credit.
“Third Miss, are you alright? This fire was too strong. No matter how much we tried to extinguish it, we weren’t able to. Third Miss, you must’ve been frightened!”
“Third Miss’s luck is great, blessed with great fate. Floods of good fortune filled the heavens, so of course, she’s safe and sound.”
As the sounds of chatter filled the air, the gazes of the crowd grew increasingly respectful as they looked at her.
What a joke! The person who went to save them just now was the person who has the most influence and the strongest power, the great master Xi Tian. Princess Bei Yue must have some relationship with Xi Tian, to have him rescue her.
