However, Ye Yuning shook her head with all her might. Her bright eyes were filled with tears as she stared at him. The current Ye Yuning was weak and powerless, she was in extreme despair, like a plant that had lost all its water, wanting to die from defeat.

Shen Yunxing's heart suddenly shook, and his hand subconsciously tightened.

"Where is the First Wife's room?"

Ye Yuning pointed to a certain direction in the fire, and her tears could not help but fall.

Shen Yunxing frowned, and patted her shoulder: "Don't cry, I already said, First Wife will be fine, believe me!"

"But …" Ye Yuning sobbed as she raised her head, only to see a pair of calm eyes.

His eyes gave people a sense of trust.

Seeing that Ye Yuning's emotions had stabilized, Shen Yunxing gave her to Fei Xiu. Looking around, he ran to the well and splashed a bucket of water on himself.

It was August, and the day was still hot, but the night was cold. Shen Yunxing shivered, and rushed into the fire without hesitation.

Young miss, Young Master Shen! Fei Xiu could not help but exclaim.

Ye Yuning stared blankly at Shen Yunxing's figure that was rushing into the flames, her mind a complete blank. As the fire continued to spread, Fei Xiu pulled Ye Yuning further back more than ten meters, feeling extremely nervous.

If anything happened to Young Master Shen, her Ye's Mansion would definitely be involved. Ye's Mansion could not handle the anger of the Shen family! Thinking about that, Fei Xiu shivered.

When he raised his head to look at the young miss again, Fei Xiu saw that the expression on her face was extremely complicated.

Ye Yuning didn't notice Fei Xiu's gaze as she clasped her hands together in front of her chest and silently prayed, "Buddha, Bodhisattva, Heavenly Divine Buddha, please bless my mother and Shen Yunxing, don't let anything happen to you!"

Ye Yuning had never prayed so sincerely before.

Perhaps it was because her prayers had really worked, but after a while, the monks in the temple finally arrived. Each of them carried a bucket, a blanket, and other things as they came to put out the fire.

Under the crowd's bustle, the fire finally died down by quite a bit, but Ye Yuning's heart was still as anxious as ever.

When he heard that Shen Yunxing had rushed into the fire to save someone, his complexion greatly changed. If it were not for the other monks blocking his way, he probably would have charged in too.

Clang!

Crack!

Suddenly, a loud sound was heard.

Ye Yuning raised her head and looked over, to her shock, she saw that the roof of one of the rooms had collapsed, and the roof beams had smashed into the ground heavily, suppressing all the furniture in the room.

Soon after, the other rooms collapsed one after another. Originally, these rooms had been constructed in such a manner that they were connected to each other. And now, a chain reaction was triggered by the collapse of a building, causing everyone's expression to change greatly.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

With a loud bang, all of the houses collapsed. Sparks flew in all directions as the entire area was razed to the ground.

Ye Yuning's face turned pale white.

"Mother … Shen Yunxing... "

Ye Yuning looked in the direction that Fei Xiu pointed, and sure enough, she saw a shadow in the thick flames.

Ye Yuning immediately ran forward.

Shen Yunxing and Fei Qing, one on the left and one on the right, carried Lady Wen's arm as they quickly walked out. His deep blue robe was burnt and had quite a few large holes in it and was already in tatters.

Lady Wen's face was as pale as paper. She was extremely weak, but she was clear-headed.

Ye Yuning had already rushed to her front and hugged her.

"Mother!"

Lady Wen looked at the anxious Ye Yuning, and couldn't help but cry, "Yu Ning, mother thought that she would never see you again."

The mother and daughter duo were crying bitterly outside the fire.

Shen Yunxing sat to the side and rested, then he casually lifted the corner of his robe and wiped his face. Seeing Ye Yuning so worried about her mother's consolation just now, Shen Yunxing's usually cold heart was touched for some reason. He did not even think about rushing into the fire to save her.

At this moment, looking at the mother and daughter pair's joyous ending, he couldn't help but smile. However, he couldn't get rid of the sense of disappointment in his heart.

"If my mother treats me like this too …" Shen Yunxing's muttering, was not heard by the others.

"Miss, the Madam is fine. She just passed out from smoking earlier. This servant woke up the Madam from her sleep. The back door was blocked, and I almost couldn't get out. Fei Qing limped over and explained.

Ye Yuning saw that Fei Qing's small face was covered in dust, and could no longer recognize her facial features, but her bright and beautiful smile was extremely eye-catching.

"Fei Qing, your leg!" Fei Xiu covered her mouth in shock, and quickly stepped forward to support her.

More than half of Fei Qing's skirt had been burnt, leaving her with only her knees above. Her legs were exposed in the air, but she was bleeding profusely. It was a shocking sight.

Ye Yuning's nose turned sour, and tears once again fell.

"He's already so injured, but he can still laugh!" Ye Yuning kept wiping tears away, but she could not stop herself from crying.

Seeing that the three of them were injured, but their lives were fine, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief, "Everyone, we should not stay here any longer. Let's go with this old monk to the west wing for a moment!"

Ye Yuning supported Lady Wen as she nodded her head, "I'll have to trouble you to lead the way, Master."

An hour later, the fire was finally extinguished, but the mood inside the temple remained heavy.

The fire was sudden, and the monks were not prepared. Although the fire was put out in time, many of the buildings in Putuo Temple were still burned down, and the east wing was the most serious.

The large area of the east wing was now charred black, with ruins everywhere like ruins. Even if he wanted to rebuild it, it wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time.

To this, even though he was pained, he was not too concerned. After all, Young Master Shen and Ye First Wife were here.

Ye Yuning and Lady Wen moved into two bedrooms to rest. Lady Wen was shocked, she was barely able to speak to Ye Yuning for a moment, and then Nanny Liu led him into a deep sleep.

In front of the bed, Ye Yuning looked at Lady Wen's sleeping face for a long time, then quietly covered the door and walked out.

In their group, only Fei Qing had the heaviest injuries. Not even two or three months had passed before she could completely recover. Even if everything was fine, scars would probably be left on her legs.

As for the other maidservants, most of them had received some light injuries. They were either choked from the smoke or burned, and would be able to recover in a few days. Only after Ye Yuning asked them about them one by one did she finally relax and return to her own room.

Fei Qing had applied the medicine and had already rested. Only Fei Xiu was left in the room.

Ye Yuning waved her hand, signalling for Fei Xiu to go rest too. "You are also scared, so there is no need to wait on me from such a close distance. It's going to be dawn soon. Let's take advantage of the time and sleep a little longer! "

Fei Xiu was also exhausted, but after hearing that, he did not force it, so she bowed and left.
