Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 857 Foretell The Future Of The Xiao Clan

Not long after walking out of the contest venue, Juey saw Rocky suddenly convulse with pain and let out a low groan. Blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth, in stark contrast to his pale face.

Juey blanched in a mixture of shock and fear and immediately hurried over to support Rocky. "Mr. Rookie, are you all right? What's wrong?"

"I'm fine. 1 just didn't expect the after-effects of using the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill to be so severe." With a bitter smile on his face, Rocky shook his head to comfort Juey. As it turned out, it was very difficult for him to use the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill with the amount of strength he currently had. The main prerequisite for performing the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill was to have acquired the spiritual power at the Supernal Stage or higher. What was more, one should know to make their five sense organs work in harmony to ensure psychic communion. Therefore, it would take a lot of energy to cause even a little impact. In addition, the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill also had a strong after-effect. Of course, no great power would come without limitations.

"Let me take you back to your room," Juey offered worriedly. She wrapped her arm around his waist and put his arm around her shoulder. This way, she helped him walk back to the Osmanthus Yard. The Cao Clan had won the beast evaluation contest, putting them in the lead. Naturally, the Qi Clan had begun to feel the pressure.

At the moment, in a magnificent hall on the east side of the Qi Clan mansion, the Qi Clan members had gathered around to discuss today's contest. At the head of the table sat Alexander while the clan elders, Tate and Samson, sat on either side of him. Apart from them, there were a few other elders and executive leaders seated at the table.

"Damn it! We never expected that the Cao Clan would have such a talented beast evaluator who could even defeat our beast evaluator at the seventh level! And to make things worse, we spent so much money on hiring him!" Alexander shouted in a rage.

"Father, I have ordered people to investigate his identity," Tate said at once.

"Check his background. It will be extremely unfavorable for us if he stays in the Cao Clan. I've heard that Princess Alyssa also seems to be curious about this guy. It will be bad for us if she takes a fancy to him," Alexander said seriously. Technically, there was no need to worry that Alyssa would change her stance, because Samson of the Qi Clan was one of her trusted subordinates. However, if Alyssa took a fancy to Rocky and was inclined to get him on board, it was very likely that she would choose to be neutral. That meant that she would not show partiality to either of the clans. In that case, the Qi Clan and the Cao Clan would have to compete neck to neck, which would be a disadvantage for the Qi Clan.

It wasn't that Alexander had no confidence that the Qi Clan could defeat the Cao Clan, but it was always better to have the upper hand. If a mysterious and exceptionally talented beast tamer or beast curer showed up in the coming contests to represent the Cao Clan again, it would be impossible for the Qi Clan to handle it. Therefore, it was crucial to retain Alyssa's support.

"Well, Chief, you don't have to worry so much. The next contest is beast taming, and we're quite confident about winning it. As for the contest after that, beast curing, everything has already been arranged, hasn't it? There's no need for us to fear the Cao Clan at all," Samson said in a very calm tone.

"Master Samson, no matter what, we still need to be careful. Please go and visit Her Royal Highness as often as possible.” Alexander shot Samson a meaningful look.

"Don't worry, Chief. I'll take care of it," Samson said seriously with his eyes narrowed.

Meanwhile, Rocky was cultivating his energy after returning to his room. At that moment, someone suddenly barged in.

"Girl, didn't anyone teach you to knock?" Rocky opened his eyes and saw Queenie standing in front of him.

"Humph! As if there's anything interesting to see here. But you promised me something!" Queenie said arrogantly.

Rocky knew that he couldn't fool her easily, so he didn't bother arguing with her. Instead, he walked outside and, after confirming that there was no one in the vicinity, opened the Magic Spiritual Space and summoned the Rainbow Glow Unicorn.

"All right, let her have some fun. If she harasses you, just shake her off,” Rocky joked as he patted the Rainbow Glow Unicorn on its head.

With a loud neigh, the unicorn trotted toward Queenie.

She squealed in excitement before mounting the unicorn. In an instant, the unicorn rose, and, with a beam of colorful light, the two of them disappeared into the sky.

Once Queenie was out of sight, Rocky turned around and stepped back into his room, but before he could close the door, he heard a voice from nearby. "Mr. Rookie?"

He turned around and saw Mary.

"What are you doing here?" Although he wasn't as indifferent to her as he had been before, he still stayed at a respectful distance from her.

"I heard that you suffered internal injuries after performing the Beast Evaluation Skill, so I've come here to see if I can help,” Mary said calmly.

"Wow, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful,” Rocky teased lightly with a smile.

"Well, actually, I also came here to apologize. I thought that you were just an ordinary person, but it turns out that you are much more than that. I was mesmerized by your performance during the evaluation contest today. You did so well! I have never seen a fantastic master like you before,” Mary said, looking slightly abashed.

"I'm glad you think that, Miss Mary! And as a matter of fact, I do need your help,” Rocky said. "What is it?" Mary's eyes lit up expectantly.

"I will leave the Timber Deity Empire soon. After that, I hope you can take care of Juey for me and help her establish her role as the chief of the clan,” Rocky said seriously.

Mary was surprised to hear this. "Do you really think Juey can be a good chief, Mr. Rookie? There is a lot of danger that comes with assuming a position of power in a clan. Clan disputes are full of fraud and deceit. It will be hard for a girl like Juey to hold her own in such a sophisticated environment.”

"That's why I'm asking you to help her. If someone with your level of shrewdness is by her side, she won't suffer,” said Rocky bluntly.

"It seems that you do not have a good impression of me, Mr. Rookie,” Mary joked.

"Your nature is not bad, but you have an unscrupulous father who has influenced you since your childhood," replied Rocky.

"Are you comforting me?" Mary was getting more and more curious about this man, who seemed to have a special way with words, especially when nobody else was around. Therefore, she also knew that he must have some secrets.

"You can take it however you want. All I want to know is if I can trust you.” Rocky stared intently at Mary with an indescribable look in his eyes.

Mary stared back, lost in thought.

When she finally came to her senses, she said, "Il want to know the reason, Mr. Rookie. Why do you believe that Juey can be the chief of our clan? You should know that she doesn't even know the Beast Curing Skill." This was one of the things that had always bothered Mary. Why did Rocky care about her sister so much? In any case, she was better than Juey.

"Your question will soon be answered. If you don't have anything else to say, you can leave now. People will start to gossip if a man and a woman are alone in a room.” Rocky shot her an unfathomable smile.

Mary let her gaze linger on him for a while before she nodded slightly and left.
