Chapter Forty-Seven: The Crimson Phantom

Billowing black smoke spilled from the dormitory building, the walls were pitch black under the licking of tongues of fire, and the laughter of the children could no longer be heard, only the hissing of the burning.

Shen Fangli tore off a piece of cloth from her clothes, soaked it, covered her mouth and nose, and rushed upstairs, where the fire was big, she cast a water spell to extinguish the fire.

Thick smoke covered the entire corridor, and sometimes the road ahead could not be seen clearly, but fortunately, Shen Fangli was familiar with the environment, so he could successfully find the dormitory room where he lived.

The books, mattresses, and quilts in the dormitory were all burned beyond recognition, and Shen Fangli could only extinguish the fire one by one, but the immunity of these flames to water really surprised her, the ordinary intermediate water spell was not effective, and the flames surrounded her like a wolf pack instead.

Shen Fangli realized that if she didn't escape, she would die here, but where was that thing?

After walking through bed after bed with heavy steps, Shen Fangli found her bed, fortunately the fire had not spread to this place for the time being.

So Shen Fangli quickly opened the locker and threw out all the useless items, including many toys she had played with when she was a child. When a pale yellow wooden fishing rod appeared in front of her eyes, her heart was indescribably excited.

Wood is the most flammable material, and it's a miracle that the rod survived the flames. Shen Fangli held the fishing rod in her hand, recalling its origin.

That year, Shen Fangli's entrance exam failed, she was in a very bad mood, and she was full of confusion about her future, it was Mu Yunxi who gave her this fishing rod as a gift, comforting her and saying that learning is like fishing, and she has to be calm to gain something, Mu Yunxi made her realize the fun of fishing, so that she has learned to be confident since then.

When Shen Fangli recovered from her memories, the fierce flames had already surrounded her, she quickly stood up and raised her staff to cast a few waves in a row, summoning several streams of water to extinguish the flames, but they were like life, and they could be reborn after being extinguished.

Judging from all indications, this is not an ordinary fire at all, someone must have deliberately set it on purpose, and this arsonist's cultivation is extremely high, and he can actually summon a flame that has a certain immunity to the water spell.

The arsonist was so vicious that she knew they would try to put out the fire before she did it on purpose, and Shen Fangli swore that she would not spare this person.

She tried all the water spells she had learned in the academy, but the results were not good, and she still failed to break through the flames. Shen Fangli exhausted her spiritual power until her legs went limp and she fell to the ground.

As far as her eyes could see, there was only a fiery red, and gradually the fiery red became bright red, as if the figure of a woman passed by the corridor outside, but she no longer had the strength to chase after her, and the smoke of the fire had made it difficult for her to breathe, and finally her eyes turned black and she fainted.

In the darkness, Shen Fangli's ears once again echoed the voice of the goddess of fate, Lena Tenni.

Have you forgotten to follow the light of your destiny? Remember, when the day of destiny comes, there is no escape.

What exactly is the Light of Destiny?

It's a question she hasn't been able to answer, what exactly is Lenatney looking for?

"Fangli, wake up, wake up!"

An anxious call came, and in the haze, Shen Fangli saw Mu Yunxi shaking her shoulders vigorously.

"Why are you here? Where am I?"

"You're embarrassed to ask these words, and you don't even care about your life for a broken fishing rod, are you there?"

"Where's the fishing rod?" Shen Fangli looked around when she heard this, but found that it was in Mu Yunxi's hand, she quickly snatched it over, checked it carefully, and found that it was not damaged, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's get out of here. Mu Yunxi helped Shen Fangli up and found a bruise on her right leg, "Are you injured?"

"Of course you can move!"

"Alas, don't pretend to me, you have been this reckless character since you were a child, and the same is true for fishing rods, in fact, you just need to tell me, and I'll buy you a new one." ”

"It's a very important thing. ”

Hearing Shen Fangli say this, Mu Yunxi was immediately stunned for a moment, and time stopped in an instant, at this time he understood his true intentions, he liked Shen Fangli, compared to this fishing rod, what he really cared about was her person, maybe from the first time he saw Shen Fangli, this feeling was stored in his heart, but he had not realized it before.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Mu Yunxi couldn't care so much, he picked up Shen Fangli, silently recited the incantation in his mouth, cast two walls of water to separate the flames, and then rushed towards the direction of the exit.

Shen Fangli had to admire Mu Yunxi's cultivation, although he couldn't completely extinguish these flames like himself, but this water spell was something she had never seen before, where did this kid learn it?

But compared to these, Shen Fangli still cares more about Mu Yunxi's posture holding himself, his shoulders are very spacious, just like the knight in the drama "Fanghua Love Poem", now think about it, I was sorry for him to let Mu Yunxi play the female role at that time, if he changed into a costume, he would definitely be able to play an excellent knight.

Shen Fangli could only hear the sound of her own heartbeat, she had no more embarrassment than now, this was the first time she had been so close to a boy, she could easily see the expression on Mu Yunxi's face, and even hear his heartbeat, and feel his body temperature similar to her own.

After arriving at the safe zone, Shen Fangli limped away from Mu Yunxi's hands with her shoulders covered, and her expression almost made Sister Xianyin mistakenly think that she was being bullied.

Yigong Kite leaned down to bandage the wound on Shen Fangli's foot, Lan Yifan was in charge of comforting the crying children, the students and children all sat side by side, looking at the burning orphanage, the indescribable sadness in their hearts, the wailing continued until the flames were completely extinguished, and the orphanage became a pile of ruins.

By this time, the sun had risen in the east, and the clean-up of the site began, and the staff and director of the orphanage counted the number of people at the scene, and found that except for some children who had suffered more serious burns, everyone was safe and sound, and thanks to their timely escape, there would have been serious casualties.

The fire broke out between 8 and 9 p.m. last night, when the students were bathing in the bathhouse, in the dormitory building, and it took a few hours for the fire to spread throughout the orphanage. The cause is probably that someone deliberately set the fire, because according to the description of the orphanage staff who participated in the firefighting, as well as Shen Fangli and Mu Yunxi, this is not an ordinary flame, but more like a flame summoned by a spell, this kind of fire seems to be impossible to extinguish, in fact, as long as the arsonist's spell does not stop, the fire will spread.

"In other words, when the fire broke out, the person who caused the fire was near us, watching it all with a cold eye. ”

Lan Yifan came to his own conclusion, and after listening to her analysis, everyone expressed their own opinions, and Shen Fangli clenched her fists even more, saying that she would not let this person go easily.

"Dean Lan, think about it carefully, who would do such an excessive thing to us?"

"I don't know, this person is ruthless, even the children don't let go, he must be an extremely dangerous person, and judging from all indications, this person's cultivation is extremely high. Faced with Mu Yunxi's question, Lan Yifan helped Shen Fangli up and asked her to try to walk a few steps to determine the injury on her leg.

"That's right, Fangli. Yi Gong Kite suddenly thought of the crux of the problem, turned to Shen Fangli and said, "When you entered the dormitory building to search for your fishing rod, did you find any suspicious characters?"

"Let me think about it......" Shen Fangli pounded her head vigorously, and the figure of a woman in red flashed through her mind, she remembered that before she fainted, she had indeed seen a crimson phantom, could that woman be the arsonist?

At this moment, the phantom flashed through the woods not far away again, Lan Yifan shouted someone and wanted to rush over, but Shen Fangli had already chased after her one step ahead.

Mu Yunxi was worried about the injury on Shen Fangli's leg, and after explaining to Lan Yifan, she also chased after Shen Fangli, and Liu Yuhan chased after her regardless of the obstruction, she said that it was for the safety of the two.

After chasing for several miles, Shen Fangli realized that this person's instantaneous step technique was not at the same level as her at all, and it took a lot of physical strength to barely keep up with that person, and that person seemed to be deliberately slowing down her pace so that she could keep up. Although she was out of breath after chasing, she still couldn't figure out the man's intentions.

In the end, the woman stopped in front of the shore of Haohan Lake, and Shen Fangli could only see her crimson clothes, and even the bright light of the lake could not reflect her face.

"Who are you?Did you do the fire in our orphanage?Why did you do this?" Shen Fangli shouted at her back.

"Holy Maiden, have you really forgotten me?" the woman turned around, revealing her charming smile and breathtaking beauty, "I'm a red girl!"

"And did you do this fire?"

"There are some things you don't need to know, or even the adult won't be able to ensure your safety, so be it! Take care!" the woman said as she recited the incantation, her figure becoming transparent.

"Hey, you haven't answered me yet. ”

Shen Fangli shouted, but the woman had disappeared out of thin air, leaving only a meaningful word.

"Holy Maiden, the day of your return is coming, so prepare yourself. ”

Listening to the woman's words, Shen Fangli somehow felt that she had mixed feelings in her heart, and when she turned around, she saw Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan standing behind her with concerned expressions.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, let's go!" Shen Fangli laughed a few words.

"Where's the mysterious woman just now?"

"Alas, let her escape, but next time we'll have to catch her. ”

Faced with Mu Yunxi's doubts, Shen Fangli replied in response, but in her heart, she had already recalled that she had heard the name of that woman before, that person was one of the sanctioners of the Tianzhao Sect, code name No:2, Red Silk.

After many years, what it meant for the reappearance of the sanctioners of the Tianzhao Sect, Shen Fangli knew best in her heart.
