There weren’t many guards in the Rong manor, and at this late hour, the place looked deserted .
However, that didn’t mean that the courtyard wasn’t well-guarded . After all, it was the residence of Master Rong Yang .
Feng Wu had a pretty good idea what she was facing as soon as she stepped into the manor .
The real guard of the Rong manor was a formation .
The mist in the forest was only a common formation, but the one which guarded the manor was at a far more advanced level .
As a master in refining, Master Rong Yang had a much better understanding of formations than most people in the Junwu Empire, but fortunately –
Feng Wu had been studying formations since she was little, and her beautiful master was a truly peerless formation master .
Hence, she was confident that she could crack the manor’s Lightning Mist Formation .
Feng Wu calculated as she walked, and soon jumped over a wall and landed in the inner courtyard .
She knew that Master Rong Yang would be in his refinery room .
“So, where is the refinery room?” That would be the question Chaoge would ask if she was with Feng Wu .
Feng Wu smiled .
It was very easy to guess .
This mountain was in fact a volcano, and had the purest abnormal flame beneath it . The refinery room had to be right above the mouth of the volcano, which also served as the core of the Lightning Mist Formation .
Hence, Feng Wu would be able to find the master when she deduced where the core of the formation was .
Standing under an old tree, Feng Wu mumbled to herself and quickly did some calculations regarding the Lightning Mist Formation .
Just then, she heard footsteps a short distance away .
By the sound of it, it was the old steward and a stranger .
The old steward asked, “Is the master still inside?”
“The master hasn’t come out since he went inside . ”
The old steward asked, “Is the master studying the dragon scale gold the Zuo family brought?”
“That’s right . The master hasn’t let go of the dragon scale gold since he went inside . All he has talked about is making a formidable dagger . ”
The old steward said, “Yuan, keep your eyes open, and don’t let anyone in . If someone tries anything, you know what to do . ”
Holding his sword between his crossed arms, Yuan said, “I’ll kill them without hesitation!”
The old man was flustered and immediately waved his hands . “You don’t have to go that far . If someone really tries to force their way in, knock them out and leave them to me . ”
Yuan said, “Yes . ”
The old steward strolled off after that, while Yuan jumped into a Chinese parasol tree a few steps away, and sat down with his legs crossed and eyes closed .
The old man walked past the pine tree that Feng Wu was hiding behind .
They were only a meter apart .
Not daring to take the old man lightly, Feng Wu moderated her heartbeat so that it was slow as possible .
Just then, the old steward glanced in the direction of the pine tree .
Feng Wu’s stomach lurched .
She couldn’t afford to be spotted .
This old man was quite a capable cultivator himself, and that guard known as Yuan was only a few steps away . There was no way that Feng Wu would be able to get away if the two men fought her together .
The old steward stuck his head behind the pine tree .
But by then, Feng Wu was already slowly circling around the tree away from the old man .
Luckily, the moon was covered by clouds at that moment, which blocked all light . Otherwise, Feng Wu would have been betrayed by her shadow alone .
That was so close!
And she was so nervous!
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu forced her breathing to slow down and told herself to stay calm .
While she was holding her breath, the old man gave up .
