"Quick, someone help! Fire! Put out the fire!"
"Why won't this fire go out? Go get the Patriarch immediately!"
"The fire is getting bigger! Someone, come quickly!"
"Where is the water? Bring water, hurry!"
The blaze was not only spreading rapidly, but the water brought to extinguish it had no effect at all. By the time Patriarch Chu rushed to the scene, nearly half of the Chu estate was already ablaze. Fortunately, since Yun Li had set the fire in the garden, most of what was burning consisted of trees and flowers. As for the buildings, only a few courtyards in the back had caught fire; the front courtyard remained untouched.
Patriarch Chu saw many guards standing around in a daze and flew into a rage. "What are you standing there for? Put out the fire!"
