As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Wanchu took a step forward and put the cat mask in his hand on Tang Yunci's face in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm... not bad, not bad. My vision is still very good!"

She nodded with satisfaction, ignoring Tang Yunci's helpless look. Then she turned her head and stared at Lin Shuyan, ready to make a move.

Lin Shuyan looked at the fox mask in her hand, somewhat resistant, and said flatteringly: "Wanchu, can you not wear it?"

"No!" Tang Wanchu refused righteously, and then stood on tiptoe to put the mask on him.

"Hey, I'll do it myself. I'll do it myself..."

Lin Shuyue, wearing a tiger mask, stood aside and watched them fight calmly.

Suddenly, she sniffed and frowned. What is this?

"on fire!"

"Come and put out the fire!"

"Someone come quickly!"

The exclamation made several people pause, and they all turned around to look back. Then, they were shocked to see flames and thick smoke in the direction of Xique Bridge, and many people were fleeing in panic from that direction.

After the people at the night market recovered from their shock, they hurriedly found buckets of water and ran towards the fire with them.

"My brother and I will go over and take a look. Brother Yunci, you and Wanchu go find the government. Be careful."

Lin Shuyue gave a quick reminder, then exchanged a glance with Lin Shuyan. The two of them gathered their strength, pointed their toes, and used their lightness skills to fly towards the river. Qinghe and Qingzhi followed closely behind.

Arriving at the river, the four were surprised to see thick smoke billowing from two tall and magnificent pleasure boats in the middle of the river, which was previously dimly lit. They could also hear the crackling sound of flames burning on wood.

The rest of the pleasure boats and flower boats were parked not far away. There were screams on the boats and the place was in chaos. The shore and the bridge were also filled with people watching anxiously.

With the help of the blazing fire, the two men clearly saw that many people on the burning pleasure boat jumped into the water to avoid the flames, but many of them could not swim and could only struggle and scream in the water.

Some owners of the pleasure boats were relatively calm. Upon seeing this situation, they hurriedly ordered their servants who could swim to go down to the river to rescue the people.

Several tall and strong men also got off the flower boat and dived into the river to swim towards those who were struggling in the water.

"Let's go and save people."

The four of them flew towards the center of the river and arrived at the center of the river after a few breaths.

The four men picked up the people who were calling for help in the water one by one, flew to the terrace of a nearby houseboat, put the people down, then turned around and flew back to the water to continue searching for the person who fell into the water.

The people on the houseboat, who were in a mess, saw this scene and slowly calmed down. Looking at the person on the terrace who was still shivering in shock after being rescued, the owner of the houseboat, who had calmed down a little, quickly ordered his servants to cook some ginger soup.

Time passed slowly, and there were fewer and fewer people on the water, until there were no more human figures on the water. Lin Shuyue and the other three stopped and landed on the terrace of a slightly empty houseboat, waiting for Tang Yunci to bring the government officials.

The drowning people who came to their senses after drinking ginger soup were horrified when they saw the pleasure boat being engulfed by flames in the middle of the river. Fortunately, they jumped into the water, otherwise...

Suddenly, several panicked voices were heard.

"Master! Where are you? Has anyone seen my master?"

"Master!"

Everyone looked over and saw several men dressed as servants looking around in panic.

The people on the pleasure boat were a little surprised after recognizing the people. "Those are the people around Young Master Jiang. Could it be that Young Master Jiang is missing?"

"This...will it be..." The young man who spoke stopped his gaze on the steaming water.

"Master! Where are you?"

The servants were so anxious that they were sweating profusely and their faces were as pale as paper. If something happened to the young master, would they still be alive?

At this time, a servant in gray suddenly remembered something, glanced at Lin Shuyue and his sister, and whispered something in the ear of a servant next to him who was more decently dressed.

Afterwards, everyone saw the servant waving his hand to call the other servants to go to the houseboat where Lin Shuyue and his sister were.

In order to save people, these pleasure boats came very close, and a few people jumped over with a light leap.

Lin Shuyue and his sister watched the people approaching and roughly guessed their purpose.

Sure enough, when they approached, the leading servant asked the brother and sister, "Did you see my young master on the river just now?"

Lin Shuyan took a step forward, and together with Qinghe and Qingzhi, he blocked Lin Shuyue behind him, then shook his head and said, "We have never seen your young master, and we don't recognize him."

"You are lying! Who in Wuzhou Prefecture would not recognize my young master?" The gray-clothed servant standing behind the leading servant retorted sharply.

Upon hearing this, the leading servant looked at Lin Shuyan with a serious gaze.

Lin Shuyan was a little unhappy, but still explained: "We just came to the city this morning, and we really don't recognize it."

Seeing that his tone was not fake, the leading servant thought for a moment, looked at the river where the flames were rising to the sky, and said in an unquestionable tone: "Then please go into the water and search again."

Lin Shuyan and Lin Shuyue's faces darkened. Just as they were about to speak, someone in the crowd shouted at them, "You wicked slave, this young man and young lady just saved you guys, and you didn't even say thank you, but now you're ordering them to go into the water. How dare you be so unreasonable?"

"That's right! How dare a slave be so arrogant!"

“…”

The successive scoldings made the faces of the Jiang family's servants gloomy. The gray-clothed servant said angrily: "Just wait, when we find the young master, I will make you suffer!"

The leading servant waved his hand to let the gray-clothed servants step back, looked around at the crowd of onlookers, and sneered: "My young master is the eldest son of the Tongzhifu, and the eldest grandson of the Taifu family in the capital.

If something happened to him here, do you think you can escape?"

Upon hearing this, many of those who had just been indignant and accusing others immediately turned pale and quietly stepped back.

Only a few young masters were so angry that their faces turned red, and they shouted angrily: "This is too much. What does your young master's accident have to do with us? Even the Taifu family cannot be so unreasonable!"

The leading servant glanced at them and turned to look at Lin Shuyan.

"Sir, for the sake of everyone, you should go down and help search again. If you find my young master, I will report to the master and reward you handsomely. Otherwise..."

"How about otherwise?"

Lin Shuyan looked at him coldly and said sternly: "I am not a servant of your Jiang family. You have no right to order me to do anything. This is the same even if your Jiang family's old master comes!"

"If you are really worried about your young master, you should immediately pay a large sum of money to the brave men who are willing to go into the water to help search, instead of wasting our time here. Don't you want to save your young master at all?"
