Although not consumed by flames, just a momentary scorch left my cheeks feeling hot, even some hair at my temples nearly ignited.
If truly burned—
Wo Xue shivered, looking back at Shang Ruyi who was half-embracing her.
At this moment, watching the flames recklessly raging through the doorway, Shang Ruyi broke out in a cold sweat, understanding what the other party intended for them.
By adding the Hook Vine, which causes unconsciousness, to the smoldering medicinal herbs, they could ignite it in this relatively enclosed room to render them unconscious; meanwhile, they took advantage of Shantong'er's absence to seal the windows and doors, setting fire outside.
Thus, even if people in the room don't suffocate from smoke, they'd be burned to death!
If they are in this situation, let alone—
Shang Ruyi turned back to see Yu Wenye lying quietly on the bed.
The true intention of these people was to kill him!
