By then, Chaoge had realized what was going on as well, so she tugged at Feng Wu and said, “That stupid woman has already bought the people here, and we’ll only humiliate ourselves! Xiao Wu, let’s just leave!”
Chaoge couldn’t bring herself to see Feng Wu get humiliated.
However, Feng Wu only smiled. “No, we’re not leaving.”
“Xiao Wu —”
Feng Wu said, “It’s just some black sand, isn’t it? We have to show some sincerity if we want to see Master Rong Yang. So, let’s do this.”
Chaoge asked, “Xiao Wu, are you sure?”
Everywhere they turned, all they saw was black sand. They might not be able to finish the job even after ten days, let alone before sundown. It was an impossible task!
Since Feng Wu had a plan, she didn’t mind the seemingly impossible mission. She gave Chaoge a bright smile and said, “We need to show them that we really want this. Let’s get to work.”
Zuo Qingyu had been standing by the window the whole time so that she could laugh at Feng Wu. However, she was utterly dumbfounded when she saw Feng Wu start working without hesitation.
She couldn’t understand what Feng Wu was thinking.
Chaoge was equally intrigued, so she asked Feng Wu, “What’s your plan?”
Feng Wu smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s going to work out just fine.”
No one could guess what Feng Wu’s plan was, though.
Chaoge said, “But there’s so much —”
Feng Wu asked, “What’s so difficult about that?”
With the storage bag she got from Jun Linyuan, Feng Wu was able to move all the black sand in one go.
The old steward had thought that they would never be able to finish before sundown. That way, he could chase them off and get his reward from Miss Zuo.
However, when he came back after just a short trip to the kitchen, all the black sand had been moved to the designated spot. They hadn’t even used a basket.
“Is there anything else I can do for you?” Feng Wu grinned at the old steward.
The old man gritted his teeth!
The brighter Feng Wu’s smile, the harder he gritted his teeth.
“Of course there’s more. Everyone who wants to see my master has to finish three tasks, and that was only the first one. Now, you have to refine all this sand into iron!”
The steward stared at Feng Wu. “If you don’t finish refining the sand by sunrise, I’m going to ask you to leave!”
Making iron…
Feng Wu rubbed her chin. “I don’t have time for this…”
Just then, she heard a sound in her ring space.
Little Phoenix?
With a wave of her hand, Feng Wu summoned the bird.
“Wow —”
Little Phoenix was thrilled when it saw the black sand.
It shrieked and buried its little body in the sand…
Chaoge asked, “What’s its problem?”
Feng Wu had an idea, but she wasn’t sure. After all, Little Phoenix was too tiny to devour all this sand.
However, what happened next amazed Feng Wu.
Rustle…
The black sand was disappearing as she watched.
Hearing the sound, the old man ran out to see what was going on. He then saw the two girls standing there, staring at the pile of black sand.
He immediately found an excuse to yell at them. “Why are you just standing there? Get to work!”
