Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 102 Being Talked About

"Why?" Rocky asked.

"The leader of the Ximen Clan wants to invite the future grandson-in-law to meet the Ximen Clan.But he definitely has ulterior motives, so remember to be careful. Besides, it looks like Shirley stillhates you, so she might try to embarrass you," Lena replied.

"Well. If I don't go there, then everything will be solved,” Rocky shrugged his shoulders.

"But you have to. You are the key to balancing the royal family and the Ximen Clan. Your slightestaction could greatly affect the equilibrium. You have to behave appropriately,” Lena warned himsternly.

"Alright. I got it. Would you like to enjoy the moon or chat with me?" Rocky wanted to seize thechance to spend time with her.

"No, I'm leaving now. I have something else to do. Don't forget what I've told you," Lena said,before somberly turning to leave.

"The worse thing for anyone is to encounter a beautiful flower in your path but be unable to pick it,"Rocky sighed, shaking his head.

Uriah also sadly whined in a low voice.

Rocky asked all the maids in his palace to leave his room before taking out one of the two yellowspiritual crystals the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire had given him. Uriah took the crystal asRocky took two drops of the magical saliva. Then, he began to absorb the spiritual power in theyellow spiritual crystal, together with Uriah.

After reaching the Earthly Stage, the spiritual power required for evolving the grade was dozens oftimes more than the equivalent process at the Mortal Stage. This time, he took one more drop ofthe magical saliva. However, the speed of the upgrading was still much slower than when he haddone the same process at the Mortal Stage. Because the yellow spiritual crystals spiritual power wasvery dangerous, he would not make the same mistake as last time and absorb all of the spiritualpower. It had nearly been fatal last time.

One night later, Rocky and Uriah had absorbed the spiritual power of one yellow spiritual crystaltogether. But their spiritual power had only increased by a small margin. At this rate, Rocky wouldonly reach the next grade after absorbing the power from several more yellow spiritual crystals.Currently, the fastest way to enhance his power was to absorb the spiritual power in these crystals,but they were a rarity. Besides, the emperor had only allotted him two of them! Rocky definitely hadto replace a way to get some more after these two were used up.

Rocky naturally thought about Marcia. He planned to make time to visit her and exchange anothervial of Uriah's magical saliva for some yellow spiritual crystals.

Then Rocky immediately felt uncomfortable as he remembered that he had to visit the Ximen Clan.He groaned at the realization that he had to meet Shirley again.

Rocky cleaned himself up after the sun rose. After breakfast, his servant reported to him that thecarriage which the Ximen Clan had sent to welcome him was already at his palace.

"I am going to fight a battle. You stay here and I will ask those maids to play with you." Rocky pattedUriah's head and left the room.

He saw a fancy carriage as he came down the spiral staircase. Four spirit manipulators were ridingon horses. They were dressed in grand uniforms, which were embroidered with the Ximen Clan’semblem. Rocky could sense that they were at the first or second grade of the Heavenly Stage.Seeing Rocky emerge from the palace, the spirit manipulators immediately got down from thehorses and bowed deeply. "Your Royal Highness, we are ordered by our leader of the Ximen Clan tocome here to welcome you. Please get into the carriage.”

Rocky nodded, stepping into the fancy vehicle.

The four spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage escorted him out of the Palace City to theMansion of General Ximen.

Rocky closed his eyes to have a rest on the way. He suddenly opened his eyes as he couldn't helpbut remember what Lena told him yesterday. He raised his eyebrows and murmured, "If Shirley isreally going to trouble me, I will definitely “play’ her game. It won't be better if she says she wants toannul the betrothal!" Rocky smiled evilly. A plan was forming in his mind.

After about an hour, the carriage arrived at the Mansion of General Ximen.

Rocky marveled as he saw the structure, which was almost as grand as the Palace City. Now herealized why the emperor of the Holy Dragon Empire regarded the Ximen Clan as his biggest threat."Your Royal Highness, please follow us!" Those four spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage ledthe way for Rocky as soon as they got down from the horses.

As he entered the Mansion of General Ximen with the four spirit manipulators, he noticed that allthe people around them fixed their eyes on him. It felt like a spotlight was fixed brightly on him.

"Is he Prince Basil? I heard that he was a total loser. But he accidentally fused with the Holy DragonBead and suddenly became a talent!"

"He is so lucky. What's more, now he even becomes the fiance of our beautiful Shirley. What a luckyman!"

"I heard he had defeated a master at the ninth grade of the Heavenly Stage, but he is only at theEarthly Stage. I wonder how he did that.”

"What you said is all old news, fellow! Let me tell you what's really up. This Prince Basil must havehidden his power for a long time. Think about it. Everyone knew he was a loser. How was it possiblethat he became a talent just because he fused with the Holy Dragon Bead? That Bead wasimpossible to fuse with a weakling. So apparently, this Prince had been pretending he was weak thewhole time. He hid his power and waited for a good time to surprise everyone. And he decided itwas time!"

Everyone was talking about Rocky as soon as he showed up.

Hearing that this strange prince had come to the general mansion, more and more people of theXimen Clan came to see him. Rocky felt like he was being displayed as he passed through the crowdwith the four spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage. A lot of female disciples of the Ximen Claneven shrieked shrilly the moment they laid eyes on him.

“Looks like the people of the Ximen Clan are much more enthusiastic than I imagined, * Rockythought to himself as he smiled. Meanwhile, he looked around and found that this Mansion ofGeneral Ximen was not only large, but also looked like a small city. In this Mansion of GeneralXimen, all kinds of buildings were regularly placed in two rows. Between the two rows of buildings,there was a wide road made of white stones leading to every corner of this general's mansion.Rocky and the four spirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage appeared to be heading to a grandbuilding which looked like a palace. This palace-liked building was the center of the general'smansion.

They walked across a huge square and an arched bridge decked with white jade railings which hadstone lions on them. They arrived in front of the building after climbing a long staircase. This grandbuilding looked even more spectacular and magnificent than when he first saw it from a distance!The scenery was completely different behind the red gate. Rocky felt like he had entered a gardenfull of colorful and beautiful flowers and vitality. And to think that this was just the front yard!Walking through a straight path, they finally arrived at the magnificent hall.

Rocky saw that lots of people had already gathered here as he entered the hall following the fourspirit manipulators at the Heavenly Stage. It looked like they were all waiting for him—their belovedShirley's future husband from the royal family.
