Crossing his hands behind his back, the old man shook his head and mumbled to himself, “I thought I sensed someone behind the tree . I guess I’m not as sharp as I used to be…”
Feng Wu only let out a breath of relief once the old steward walked away .
She had been holding her breath for as long as five minutes, and was on the verge of passing out .
Once the old man was gone, Yuan, the teenager sitting in the tree, was the only person Feng Wu had to worry about .
Rubbing her chin, Feng Wu darted around .
“Roar -”
Just then, the tiger cub crawled out of Feng Wu’s sleeve and gestured with its front paws that it would lure the teenager away .
Feng Wu frowned . “But he’s really good . ”
The cub was very stubborn and insisted that it could run very fast .
Feng Wu recalled how fast the cub had run when they were in Proud Snowfield . It might have very short legs, but that didn’t stop it from running very fast .
What was more…
After the amazing job Little Phoenix had done with refining the sand, the cub had to feel threatened .
“Are you sure?” Feng Wu asked again .
The cub waved its paw angrily, and the look on its face said, “Yes! I’m sure!”
“Alright . ” Feng Wu rubbed its little head and said, “Remember to hide somewhere safe . I’ll go get you when I come back out . ”
The cub nodded .
After that, Feng Wu picked up a stone and threw it in Yuan’s direction .
Thump!
“Who’s there?!” Yuan cried out and immediately jumped out of the tree .
The cub shook its little bottom at Yuan and smirked .
A smirk?
Yuan was shocked and irritated by the smirk on the cub’s face .
The cub threw another stone at the teenager .
“How dare you, you little cub! Stop right there!” Yuan ran after it .
Right at that moment, Feng Wu jumped into the inner courtyard like a flash of light .
Yuan tried to catch the cub and almost succeeded at first . However, the cub moved so swiftly and ran up a tree…
Feng Wu looked around the place after she jumped inside .
All the rooms around the courtyard were refinery rooms, but there was only one major one .
She would be in a lot of trouble if she walked into the wrong room and disturbed Master Rong Yang .
As Feng Wu walked in the dark, she quickly calculated the location of the formation core . Before long, she stopped in front of a well .
A well?
How could that be?
Feng Wu went over her calculations again, and this well was still the result she obtained .
She slowly breathed out .
Master Rong Yang was indeed a very wise man . No one else would have guessed that the real refinery room was in this well .
So, the real trick lay in this ancient-looking well with rippling water inside .
Feng Wu jumped in . As expected, instead of hitting the water, she landed on a protruding rock .
There were four buttons next to the rock, and each was marked with a direction .
Feng Wu’s eyes flickered .
She had to choose one button out of the four . The right one would take her inside, and the wrong one would definitely set off some kind of alarm .
This place was filled with traps .
One out of four…
Feng Wu quickly analyzed the layout inside the well, then smiled . As expected, the buttons changed as the formation changed .
