Han Shaoling had just ordered his personal bodyguard to deal with Meng Wuyou's matter in Qingliang Courtyard.

  Now, something happened.

  The bodyguards in the palace are all cultivators. They carry a huge wooden bucket full of water, take the water from the moat, run back flying and dump about a ton of water onto the fire.

  Some people even jumped up, from high above, as if pouring the rain, splashed down the whole bucket of water from the top of the hall, making a huge roaring sound, splattered countless big and small sized shining white water droplets.

  There were many wooden decorations in the Imperial Harem, including huge carved wooden windows and doors that were connected to the roof. The hall was also decorated with layers of curtains, which is why it burns so fast.

[1] Fengxu : Feng-Phoenix, Xu-empty. Can't find the right translation. Either it's Empty Phoenix, which is kinda weird name, or Reserved for Phoenix.

Chapter 8.2 Fire In Qingliang Courtyard (Part 2)

  The fire was soon put out, leaving only smoke.

  Qingliang Courtyard was burnt black thoroughly, the nearby Fengxu Courtyard was also tragically affected, with a half of it also burnt into ashes.

  After the situation was under control, all of them simultaneously breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare for the aftermath.

  The Guard Commander's face was entangled and escorted two people that were drenched thoroughly like a chicken in the soup, to Han Shaoling.

  You Yingyue and Jiang Jinyuan.

  Han Shaoling: "......"

  Sang Yuanyuan: "......"

  This, is purely an accident.

  She just wants to keep the small life of Jiang Jinyuan and also scare You Yingyue at the same time.

  Who could have thought there'd be fire?

  You yingyue was terribly frightened for real. Like a little chick, she hugged Han Shaoling and didn't let go: "Han Lang! Han Lang! He, he ran to my courtyard and set the fire to burn me! Han Lang upholds justice for me wuwuwu[1]......I'm so scared, wuwuwu......"

  You Yingyue used to be so arrogant. A large part of the reason is that she has Hui Yi, a strong cultivator in Clear Spirit Base by her side——She killed people and set fire at the front and Hui Yi would always take care of the aftermath for her. Now Huiyi had been executed by Han Shaoling, she seems to have lost her eyes and arms. Now met with mishap, her mind immediately collapsed.

  Jiang Jinyuan was also frightened. He was awakened by the smoke. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he found himself lying on the same bed with Han Shaoling's concubine. Dark smoke billows behind the curtain, all frightens him so much that it just feels like being reborn and then dies immediately afterwards. He wakes You Yingyue up at once and beckons her to flee outside.

  As a result, not only the woman did not feel grateful towards him, instead, she pulled and yelled at him. While the two were entangling with each other, they saw someone carrying a huge bucket rushed into the room, and gave the man and woman on the bed a biting cold.

  It's really inexcusable.

  "Teacher, It's not me who set the fire. I also don't know how I was there......I didn't do anything, really. Teacher......" Jiang Jinyuan is withering like a pheasant that has been hit by a rainstorm.
