559 Chapter 559 “Master Fu“
"Okay, thank you." Li Shi Ying thanked the villager before she went back to their meeting point. She, Long Ao Zhen, and Shu Chen had decided on a meeting point, so whoever got the information first, they could go back to the meeting point and wait for the others to come back.
Li Shi Ying had just arrived back to their meeting point when she saw that Long Ao Zhen and Shu Chen were already there. They were so fast to return! Could it be this master Fu was so well-known that the entire village knew about him?
"I got the information." Before Li Shi Ying could say that she too got the information about the lava stone cauldron’s whereabouts, Long Ao Zhen beat Shu Chen and her to it.
"It’s in Master Fu’s house right? The location of his house is at the very corner of the village." Shu Chen also followed behind by completing Long Ao Zhen’s statement, making Li Shi Ying stumped for words.
Oh, she didn’t have anything to say anymore.
"Let’s go there now, but this master Fu is well-known to have a bad temper...we have to be careful not to offend him. We need the cauldron after all." Li Shi Ying added a bit of information about this Master Fu character, since both of the boys didn’t mention it before.
As they walked to the end of the village, Shu Chen told Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen about what he had heard as well. It seemed that they had found the right person to get this lava stone cauldron.
He bet that after they got this cauldron, other participants wouldn’t be able to get it anymore. That would be bad wouldn’t it?
"Hey, don’t you think that the item we’re collecting...will be used for the next round of the tournament?" Seeing that their journey was still quite long, and since they weren’t in a hurry, Li Shi Ying began to tell Long Ao Zhen and the others about her deduction.
"Huh? Well, what you said might be true, since what we collected here are all ingredients and tools to make a pill...what about our friends on the other islands? Could it be that the items they collected are also needed for the next round?"
Shu Chen stopped talking about the cauldron when Li Shi Ying mentioned this matter. If what she said was true, that even only one team member from the same academy failed, the rest of the team would fail the tournament in the next round.
Or could it be that the items they collected now only function as a bonus item that could help them in the next round? It can be "I think it will be just a boost item necessary so we can pass the next round easier. Teams who don’t have these items needed later may find it difficult to pass the next round. The tournament won’t eliminate too many participants just because of this."
Long Ao Zhen gulped his saliva nervously, hoping that what he said would be the truth. He left his island to come here, so doesn’t this mean that his team later wouldn’t be able to get the items he was supposed to collect there?
He was sure each island had a different treasure list, and in the end if those items were combined, would it become one great item they needed to pass the next round?
What if it’s like that?? Won’t his academy’s team fail because of him?? He collected the same items as Li Shi Ying collected...wouldn’t it be double...
Ugh, now he was worried!
"Ah, that’s the house." Just when Long Ao Zhen was about to ask Li Shi Ying if his deduction might become true, they had arrived at the very end of the village.
Around them, there weren’t any houses left, except for one big but shabby-looking house. You could see smoke rising from inside the house, or maybe the workplace.
"I’ll go call Master Fu." Wanting to be at least a bit useful, Shu Chen offered himself to be the ’experimental subject’ to knock on the door and see what happened.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK.
"Excuse me, is Master Fu here?" Shu Chen carefully knocked on the wooden door, afraid of disturbing Master Fu who might be making something inside.
CREAK....
"Wuah!" Right after Shu Chen knocked on the door, the door was opened by itself, but no one was opening it, making Shu Chen almost pee his pants at thinking it was a ghost.
"This house is quite weird." Li Shi Ying stepped into the house before Shu Chen as she mumbled to herself. The door was opened by itself...could it be automatic? No, there must be a device somewhere.
It seemed that this Master Fu’s place is quite modern!
"Who’s there?!" Just as Li Shi Ying was about to step further, from inside of the house, there was a hoarse voice of a man shouting towards her and the other’s direction, startling her to death.
"W-we are here to ask for a lava stone cauldron..." Li Shi Ying gulped her saliva as she answered, even though she hadn’t seen the man behind the voice.
"Lava stone cauldron? Come in!" Contrary to Li Shi Ying’s expectations, the man asked Li Shi Ying and the others to come inside even though she thought she would be chased away.
Oh here we go...just what does Master Fu look like, she wondered...
