Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master -
Chapter 801 Lucilla's Curiosity
Lucilla was not just responsible for advancing the power of the Cao Clan, but also worked on improving her own strength for the past ten years. At twenty-nine, her strength was at the second grade of the Supernal Stage. She had made herself famous and people acknowledged her as a talented spirit manipulator in the Timber Deity Empire.
Lucilla had to work hard to achieve power and success, but it was different for Queenie. Everything came up roses for her. Back then, Lucilla wanted to focus on the affairs of the Cao Clan, and she could not take care of this younger sister. She also did not trust any outsider to take care of her, because she knew very well that her two uncles lusted over the position of being the clan chief. For this reason, she asked Lucas to take care of Queenie and take her in as a disciple.
Lucas was very fond of Queenie and treated her as his own granddaughter. She had inherited the impressive talent of the Cao Clan as a spirit manipulator, and she became a Timber spirit manipulator at the very young age of fourteen. Eventually, Lucas helped Queenie establish a solid foundation at the cost of his own spiritual power. In the span of three years, she gained the strength that others would need to cultivate for ten years. This was why she reached the Supernal Stage in her early twenties.
Lucas had been protecting Queenie since she was a child, and this made her fearless. Except for her sister Lucilla, Queenie was not afraid of anyone in the Cao Clan at all. People regarded her highly, and she could always have her way the moment she said she was Lucas’ disciple. Sadly,
this also turned her into a lawless and arrogant person.
When Lucas saw that there were only three people from the Xiao Clan inside the hall, he looked at them briefly and asked Raef with a smile, "Has Mr. Rookie not arrived yet?"
"That bastard! Where is he?" Queenie asked through gritted teeth. She wanted to know where Rocky was.
"Chief Raef said that Mr. Rookie is on his way and will arrive soon," Lucilla answered as she gazed at Lucas and Queenie with her beautiful eyes.
"Okay." Lucas nodded calmly.
"I don't think he's coming. He knows that if he comes here, I will teach him a lesson,” Queenie disagreed as she clenched her fist in anger.
"By the way, Miss Queenie, Mr. Rookie asked me to deliver a message to you," Raef blurted as he remembered.
"What? I have a message from him? Go head! Say it!" Excited, Queenie jumped right in front of Raef and pulled a wisp of his long beard
Raef cowered as he answered, "Mr. Rookie said that you should wait for him willingly, Miss Queenie.”
"What? Wait for him willingly? That bastard is so arrogant! Who does he think he is?" Queenie knew that Rocky wanted to provoke her.
At that moment, Mary looked at Lucas and said, "Master Lucas, I have a question, but I don't know if it's okay for me to ask.”
Lucas nodded his head and signaled for her to ask the question.
After a moment of hesitation, Mary asked, "Why did you recommend Mr. Rookie, Master Lucas? Is there anything special about him?"
Raef and Travis both turned to look at Lucas. They were also eager to know the reason why he recommended Rocky.
"Well, you don't have to know the reason. One thing I can tell you is that Mr. Rookie is beyond your wildest dreams. He is something else. In fact, I myself felt unsure,” Lucas answered sincerely. He had witnessed Rocky's performance at the Xiao Clan, and he knew right then that Rocky was not an ordinary person. He marveled at the fact that he had successfully entered the Black Sand Abyss where only spirit manipulators at the Divine Stage dared to go and even managed to save Queenie. Based on all these, Lucas thought highly of Rocky and was convinced that he was extraordinary. But he also knew that Rocky purposely hid his identity and strength. He could not figure out why, so he chose not to mention it until he was sure.
When Raef and the others heard this, they were confused and did not understand what Lucas meant.
"Chief Raef, you travelled thousands of miles to get here. You must be exhausted. I ordered my people to prepare a wing house so you could rest. Once the other chiefs arrive, we can discuss the Beast Master Contest together.” Lucilla turned to look at Raef and invited him warmly.
The three of them bowed at once and then followed a servant girl out of the hall.
"Since he's not here yet, I'm leaving too.” Queenie did not want to stay. She knew her sister would go out of her way to nag at her. She did not want to give her a chance, so she left before Lucilla could utter a word.
Straight off, Lucilla stared at Lucas and asked, "Master Lucas, you never told me how capable Mr. Rookie is. Are you sure he could work for the Cao Clan?"
"Even before the start of the Beast Master Contest, the Qi Clan already has a cutting edge because of the relationship between Samson and Princess Alyssa. They are also very familiar with the status of our Cao Clan since they have been dealing with us for a long time. They even sent people to make a scene in the Magical Beast House of the Xiao Clan. In the Beast Master Contest this year, the Qi Clan has the upper hand. It won't be easy for us to defeat them, but we could take them by surprise. Hopefully, Mr. Rookie can lend us a helping hand. It's not because he's strong and powerful, but because of unfamiliarity. The Qi Clan doesn't know about him and his style," Lucas explained with a serious look on his face.
"Your words make perfect sense. But I'm not sure if we could trust him. What if he has been sent by my two uncles?" Lucilla said, worried
"Well, you can test him. Then we would see how the wind blows," Lucas said. His eyes were filled with hope and determination.
"Okay. Let me know when he arrives. I want to see him in person,” Lucilla said and left the hall as soon as she finished speaking.
Meanwhile, Rocky travelled with Juey from the Barren City all the way to the capital of the Timber Deity Empire. Together, they saw several exclusive spirit-manipulated beasts from the Timber Deity Empire. He took advantage of this time and collected countless samples that he had never seen before. It was a bountiful harvest, and it delighted him.
Juey was on cloud nine. They had only spent a few days together, but Rocky exerted great efforts to teach her the basic principles of his Beast Curing Skill. As long as she had a solid foundation, she could still use the surgical treatment on spirit-manipulated beasts after he left.
As for Juey, she was passionate about her studies and was a fast learner. It was easy for Rocky to teach her his Beast Curing Skill.
Two days after Raef and his two children arrived at the Cao mansion, Rocky arrived with Juey.
Since Lucas gave strict instructions to the servants to inform him if a young man named Rookie would arrive, he was notified the moment Rocky and Juey stepped into the mansion. Lucas wasted no time and greeted them in person at once.
Several members of the Cao Clan were stunned when they heard that Lucas came out to receive a young man in person. They thought Rocky must be a very important person for Lucas to go out of his way to greet him and show great respect upon his arrival. Many people heard about the news and came immediately. Curious, they gathered outside the Cyan Dragon Hall to check the profile of this very important visitor.
