"They're out! They're out!"
"It's Young Master Xie!!"
"And Miss Dongzhu too! Young Master is carrying Miss out!"
"It's Young Master! Young Master and Miss are both alive! They're both alive!"
Jingtian City, the western suburbs forest area, the towering flames illuminated the ink-like night of early autumn.
A group of people held torches and shouted excitedly when they saw Xie Yubai carrying Ye Huaran out of the fire.
Ye Huaran's personal maid, Biyuan, rushed forward in the first place. "Miss, Miss."
As she approached, Biyuan suddenly screamed, her eyes widened in horror as she took several steps back.
Biyuan's scream caused everyone to subconsciously follow her gaze. Under the torchlight, Xie Yubai's face was blurred by blood and flesh, causing everyone to gasp in shock.
Xie Yubai's eyes darkened.
When he handed the wet military felt to Ye Huaran, Xie Yubai was already mentally prepared. Therefore, when he carried her out of the fire and was not too burned by a burst of flames, he didn't mind.
Without a mirror, Xie Yubai couldn't know the severity of his facial injuries. At this moment, from everyone's reactions, Xie Yubai had already inferred that the injury on his cheek was quite serious.
The deep forest fire continued to burn, and occasionally, the sound of trees falling could be heard.
They had to leave here as soon as possible!
Xie Yubai said in a deep voice, "Hengchi."
His deputy, He Buxian, ran forward at the mention of his name, and when he saw the burns on his master's face, he was also startled.
Receiving Xie Yubai's cold gaze, He Buxian immediately straightened his waist, his legs together, and spoke loudly, "Attention!"
"Orders, form up and move out."
"Yes, Young Master!"
He Buxian followed Xie Yubai's command and immediately turned around to face the guards of the Xie Mansion, loudly ordering, "Everyone listen up, move out!"
Ye Huaran was unconscious and unable to ride a horse, not to mention that she was a female and a noble Miss. It was inappropriate for her to show up in front of these soldiers and servants.
The carriage that Ye Huaran, Ningxiang, and Biyuan were riding in was still there, tied to a tree nearby. The horses from the mansion were all well-trained, and despite the forest fire ahead, the horses remained loyal and waited faithfully for their masters to return.
They were good horses, but their owner was not a good person!
He Buxian lovingly patted the horse's beautiful mane, soothing the restless horse due to the fire, and went forward to open the curtain of the carriage for his young master.
Xie Yubai carried Ye Huaran onto the carriage.
How could a man and a woman be together in a carriage?
Seeing Xie Yubai carrying Miss onto the carriage, Biyuan became anxious, wanting to speak up, but Ningxiang pulled her sleeve, shaking her head.
What was their identity? It was clear that even if they spoke up, the young master wouldn't listen.
They had helped Miss escape privately first. Due to Miss's status, Xie Yubai would certainly not do anything to Miss, but he might not spare them.
At this time, why add fuel to the fire and make Xie Yubai feel uncomfortable, and invite trouble for themselves? Biyuan didn't understand why Ningxiang stopped her, but since they entered the mansion at about the same time, and Ningxiang's brain had always been more useful than hers since childhood, she thought that Ningxiang must have her own plan. Biyuan, although worried about Miss, could only endure it.
Xie Yubai bent down and placed Ye Huaran on the soft felt, then took out a match from his pocket and lit the candles on the table.
As he was about to leave, he unexpectedly encountered some resistance.
Xie Yubai lowered his gaze and saw a small hand tightly grasping his clothes.
