Although the fire stopped moving forward, it was still burning fiercely. The billowing heat waves and thick black smoke made Liang Yehan dizzy and unable to open his eyes. She knew that even if the fire could not burn them out, the thick smoke and high temperature around them would soon kill her and Zhao Niantong.

At this point, Liang Yehan had no choice but to hug Zhao Niantong tightly and cover her mouth and nose with clothes to avoid being burned by the heat. He faced the side of the pillar and relied on the natural coldness of the Lingbi Stone to block the attack. Human heat wave. But not long after, the stone pillar in front of him was heated by the fire. Liang Yehan had to use his last strength to take off his coat and put it on the stone pillar, half leaning on it and half leaning on it, and passed out.

I don’t know how long it took, but I heard someone say in a daze: "Fire Circle? There must be someone here... Ye Han?! Is it you? Great, I finally found it!"

Liang Yehan responded in a daze, feeling like he was being picked up gently, but he still couldn't let go of Zhao Niantong in his heart, so he subconsciously called out her name. The visitor said: "Okay...take her away too."

When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on a large solid wood carved phoenix-tail bed, with a wisp of sandalwood lingering at the head of the bed. Looking to the right, Zhao Niantong was lying on another large bed, with a dark complexion and eyes closed, not yet awake.

Liang Yehan was shocked when he saw it. He hurriedly sat up from the bed and looked at Zhao Niantong's expression. People who die in fires often have a dark complexion due to inhaling a large amount of smoke. Zhao Niantong's complexion looks like this, which is probably a bad thing.

After careful inspection, Liang Yehan was relieved. It turned out that Zhao Niantong's face was just smeared with black ointment. He touched his own face casually and found that it was the same. The ointment smelled slightly, and it must have contained comfrey, rehmannia glutinosa and other therapeutic agents. Herbs for burns.

Seeing that both he and Niantong were out of danger, Liang Yehan let out a long breath. Then he felt sore all over his body and could no longer sit up, so he fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

"Senior Sister...Senior Sister..." While half asleep and half awake, I heard someone calling. When I opened my eyes, I saw Nian Tong looking at me with a dark face.

"Senior sister, are you awake?" Niantong opened her teeth lightly and said with a smile. Just as Liang Yehan nodded, Zhao Niantong immediately brought a steaming bowl of hibiscus and pomfret porridge to his mouth. He blew on it hard to avoid the porridge being too hot.

Liang Yehan smiled and said: "Nian Tong, do you have something to ask of me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Niantong feigned anger and said, "Senior sister, what do you mean?! You are my savior. Is there anything wrong with me serving a bowl of porridge to my benefactor? Am I such a utilitarian person in your heart?"

"This... Niantong, you misunderstood. I just said this. I have no other meaning. Don't take it to heart."

Zhao Niantong turned his anger into joy and said: "Senior sister, I was joking with you too! But I really want to thank you. If it weren't for your method to stop the fire, I would have been buried in the sea of ​​​​fire, and you also successfully rescued me from the fire. I really don’t know how to thank you."

Liang Yehan waved his hand and said: "Why should my fellow disciples be so polite? I only know a little about the art of controlling fire. I believe you would do the same thing. In addition, it was not me who rescued you from the fire, but someone else." people."

"Oh? I fainted at that time. I don't know who rescued us. If it weren't for Senior Sister, would anyone else know this fire-fixing technique?"

"Of course, I didn't learn the fire-fixing technique by myself. It was naturally taught by others. Therefore, there are many people who know this technique, such as my master and senior brother Wanji..."

"What? Li Wanji can do it too?! How can his wooden fish brain master such advanced magic?"

Liang Yehan was about to answer when he heard someone outside the door say: "What spell can't I learn? Zhao Niantong, are you looking down on me too much?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened and a man of medium height walked in, wearing a red robe and holding a long sword across his waist.

"Senior Brother Wanji, is it really you? I should have thought earlier that it must be you who saved us."

The man in red smiled and said, "Ye Han, how did you know it was me?"

Liang Yehan said: "Besides the master and him, the only person in the world who can rescue us from such a fierce fire is you."

Li Wanji waved his hand and said, "Junior sister, you are really looking up to me. Just like what our red-clothed disciple said, I have a wooden fish brain and I don't know the kind of magic you mentioned."

Liang Yehan said: "Senior brother, Junior Sister Niantong is joking with you. You are her savior. It's not too late for her to thank you!"

Li Wanji said disdainfully: "I don't dare, I don't dare. I'm just a disciple in red. How dare I falsely claim to be the savior of the first disciple in red?! According to the palace law, this is a serious crime for the following, ranging from being punished with a rod to being severely punished. If you do, you will be expelled from the school."

Zhao Niantong laughed loudly and said: "You are sensible. Since you understand the rules so well, I will not punish you."

Li Wanji snorted and said, "What a shame! You are just a disciple in red, what qualifications do you have to punish me?"

Zhao Niantong said: "Although I can't cure you, I can report your every word and deed to the master to see if he can deal with you!"

Li Wanji sneered and said: "Elder Houtu? I guess he doesn't care about your business. Now he is like a mud Buddha crossing the river - he can't save himself."

Zhao Niantong said angrily: "What do you mean? You dare to slander the elders of the palace? It seems that you can't afford to ignore the following charges."

Li Wanji said: "It seems that you don't know anything. Ye Han, is it you who says it or me?"

"This... okay, let me tell you. Niantong, actually I lied to you."

Zhao Niantong was confused and asked: "Senior sister, what are you talking about? Did you lie to me?"

"What I'm lying to you is...actually, I don't know how to fix fire at all!"

"What?" Not only Zhao Niantong was surprised, but also Li Wanji's eyes widened.

"Do you still remember that I drew a circle on the ground with my long sword? That was actually the fire protection zone I set up."

"Fire Proofing Belt?!"

"Yes. I used my long sword to dig out the soil around the circle, forming a trench. When the fire burned here, it would fall into the trench and could not continue to spread. It looked like it was immobilized by me. Now you understand Already? There is no such thing as setting fire. I'm sorry, I lied to you."

"If...if that's true...then how did we escape from the fire?"

"Let me tell you." Li Wanji said, "I am indeed the one who saved you. Although you may not want to admit it, Zhao Niantong, this is the fact. To tell you frankly, if Ye Han hadn't been in a coma, I still think about you all the time, but I really don’t want to save you! So I don’t expect you to accept my life-saving kindness. If I want to thank you, just thank Ye Han properly."
