Yuan looked equally excited. Taking off the mask, he told the old steward, “This mask is great! With it, I don’t have to worry about getting smoke in my eyes, and I can run around freely in the fire.”
The old steward couldn’t help but glance at Feng Wu.
He was surprised that the girl’s mask had worked.
Master Rong Yang glanced at Feng Wu as well and said, “I’ve never seen her here before.”
The old steward had no choice but to introduce Feng Wu to Master Rong Yang. “She’s Feng Wu from the imperial capital, and she wants you to build a weapon for her.”
The mention of her request brought a frustrated look to Master Rong Yang’s face.
“God —”
He heaved a long sigh. “How am I supposed to forge anything when my work area has been destroyed?”
“What if I can extinguish the fire for you?” Feng Wu smiled at the master.
The old steward glared at Feng Wu. “Who gave you permission to speak? Shut up!”
Master Rong Yang waved him off.
He shook his head and gave Feng Wu a wry smile. “Kiddo, I can’t even put out the fire now, let alone make any weapons. If this goes on, the magma may pour out of the opening…”
He sounded frustrated when he said, “When that happens, all of Three Trees Valley will be burnt to the ground, to say nothing of this manor.”
At the mention of that, Master Rong Yang gave the old steward the instruction, “Take everyone down the mountain now.”
Was he going to give up on the Rong manor?
“Master!” The old steward looked panicked.
The fire from the magma was such a rare resource, which contributed greatly to Master Rong Yang’s achievements.
“Just go —” the master waved his hand and said grumpily.
The old man was very open-minded and had made such a life-changing decision as easily as snapping his fingers.
Feng Wu looked at the old man in admiration, but she felt guilty over what she had done as well.
“Master Rong Yang.” Feng Wu stepped out again and looked earnestly at Master Rong Yang. “What if I can put out the fire?”
Those words shocked everyone.
“Put out the fire? You?” The old steward stared at Feng Wu so hard that his eyes popped out. “Do you know how many cultivators who specialize in the water element we’ve sent into the well? Even they can’t stop the fire.”
Zuo Qingyu stepped out as well and stared coldly at Feng Wu. “Miss Feng, if you can’t give them any help, the least you can do is step aside and let them do their job.”
Other people wouldn’t believe Feng Wu either, but she only smiled and turned to Master Rong Yang. “If I don’t try, the fire will spread to destroy the manor, the valley, and even the entire mountain.”
“How can you be so sure that you can put out the fire?!” Zuo Qingyu glared at Feng Wu.
Feng Wu smiled. “What if I succeed?”
Zuo Qingyu said, “You —”
Master Rong Yang looked from Feng Wu to the basket.
She had said the same thing a moment ago, and the basket of materials had been saved.
While everyone else was still questioning Feng Wu, the master smiled at her. “If you really want to try, go ahead. Be careful down there.”
Master Rong Yang had agreed!
He actually believed that an ignorant girl like her could extinguish this great fire!
“Master —”
The old steward wanted to say something, but Master Rong Yang stopped him.
