Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 1668 Gilbert's Visit

"Leader, are you really sure that you will allow the Godly Genius to be under Esteban’s care? Evenyou know that he is famous for his unsociable character. I'm afraid that if Odin had somehowoffended him, something bad might happen to the Godly Genius!" an elder said, expressing hisworries.

"No need to worry. Esteban should know what he is doing. He has been in the Ghost Capital for along time, and he had never accepted a disciple even once. It just means that there is indeedsomething special with the Godly Genius.” From Gilbert's words, one could see that he had theutmost confidence towards Esteban.

On their way back to the Ghost Palace, Rocky had been constantly nagged by Esteban. He deeplyregretted letting Rocky go with him. As a result, they were in big trouble.

It was not actually a bad thing that Rocky was chosen to be the Godly Genius. However, his realidentity would cause a lot of trouble once it was leaked out.

"Is it possible the deity did not replace out your real identity? Well, it would be strange that she gaveher divine power to you if she knew who you are." Esteban was extremely baffled. Logicallyspeaking, with the deity's power, it should be easy for her to replace out Rocky's identity. Moreover,according to the tradition, all of the Godly Geniuses should have come from the Shura Race. Therehad been no precedent that a human or a member of the spiritual race had been chosen as theGodly Genius.

"That's impossible.” Rocky shrugged with a smile on his face.

"Well, then, you mean she didn't punish you even she knew who you are!" Esteban added.

"Yes. She even tried her best to persuade me into accepting her divine power. Actually, I was notwilling to do it at first. However, she laid some tempting conditions, so I eventually agreed,” Rockyanswered bluntly.

"What? Are you kidding me?" Esteban could not believe what Rocky said. He could not help butquestion what was going on in the deity's mind.

"I am telling the truth. There is no merit for me to lie about this,” Rocky said with a straight face."So, did you see what the deity looked like?" Esteban asked out of curiosity.

"Nope. I just heard her voice,” Rocky replied as he shook his head.

"I see. Then—" Esteban still wanted to ask him about a few more things, but Rocky immediatelyinterrupted him. "Hey, old man. When did you become so talkative? It's not like you."

"Can you blame me? I just want to make sure that you won't cause any trouble and disturb mypeaceful life," Esteban replied with a deep sigh.

"Oh, yeah. I forgot to tell you something. I don't think you will be able to have some peace in thefollowing days,” Rocky said with a playful smirk on his face.

"What did you say?!" Esteban could not help but exclaim. Of course, this was the last thing that hewanted to happen, but it was inevitable.

Just as Rocky had predicted, the Ghost Palace became packed with people and vehicles in the nextfew days. Every day, all kinds of powerful people from the Ghost Capital would visit or send theirgifts.

In fact, just a few days after, almost half of the palace was filled with presents.

After a few more days, Esteban was almost about to lose his temper. "This is so annoying! Manypeople come in and out every day. I don't have the time to focus on my research anymore! Damn it.They are forcing me to seal the Ghost Palace again,” he grumbled.

"l actually don't mind,” Rocky said indifferently.

However, just when Esteban was about to put a seal outside the palace, Gilbert came along withseveral of his men.

"Leader? What brought you here?" As soon as he saw Gilbert, Esteban calmed down andimmediately let them in.

"I am actually here for the Godly Genius,” Gilbert said as he looked at Rocky, who was standingbehind Esteban.

"Oh? You don't have to come here. He can just go to your mansion whenever you need him,"Esteban answered.

"Well, I happened to be on an inspection nearby, so I already thought of coming here. Besides, I alsocame to ask for some medicine for my sister. Although she was already saved and detoxified fromthe poison, she is still very weak. I want to ask for some medicine that will help her recover quickly,”Gilbert explained.

"She was indeed lucky to be saved from such imminent danger. I don't really think there issomething that could make her recover very quickly, but I do have some medicine that could greatlyhelp her progress. Wait a minute. I will go get it now.” Upon saying that, Esteban left in a hurry andwent to his pharmacy.

"So, how are you doing these days?” Gilbert asked as he turned towards Rocky.

"I'm fine. Although we did not expect that a lot of guests would be coming and going here recently.It's fine by me, but you know my master. He is quite bothered by it," Rocky replied politely.Hearing that, Gilbert immediately understood what he meant. Thus, he said, "Fine. I will immediatelyorder that outsiders would not be allowed to visit you here in the Ghost Palace.”

"Thank you for your consideration, leader,” Rocky said as he cupped his hands

"Actually, I have one more thing to ask..." Of course, Rocky already assumed that Gilbert must havea serious reason if he was to visit him personally.

"Please go ahead, leader. I am listening,” Rocky answered.

"You should know that in addition to the Ghost Capital, there are also Godly Geniuses that wereselected from the other eight fiefs. Therefore, being chosen as the Godly Genius of our fief is onlythe beginning. From here on, you are going to face a lot of tests,” Gilbert said with a seriousexpression.

"Yes, sir. I am fully aware,” Rocky replied with a nod.

"But of course, the most important thing is your safety. I think that the Ghost Palace is a little toosecluded and remote. Hence, I am afraid that we will have a hard time protecting you here.Therefore, I am actually thinking of letting you move to the Godly Genius Palace that I havespecifically arranged for you.” It turned out that Gilbert was worried about Rocky's safety so he wentand arranged a separate place where he could stay.

"I see. I appreciate the kind gesture, leader. However, I am already used to living here in the GhostPalace. Besides, I don't think you should worry too much. My master is powerful enough to protectme." Rocky quickly used Esteban as an excuse. He speculated that one of the reasons why Gilbertwas trying to move him into the Godly Genius Palace was so he could conveniently supervise hisactions. But of course, Rocky did not want that.

"That is true. But..." Gilbert let out a frown, not expecting that Rocky would refuse straightforwardly."Sir, if you will be more relieved, you can just enhance the patrols around the Ghost Palace," Rockysuggested to further convince Gilbert.

"All right then.” Seeing that Rocky was persistent on staying at the Ghost Palace, Gilbert did notinsist anymore.

At the same time, Esteban had come back at the gate, carrying the medicine that he would give toGilbert.

"Okay then. I shall take my leave now.” Gilbert took the medicine and eventually left with hisservants.

"What were you talking about just now?" Esteban asked as soon as Gilbert and the others had leftthe palace.

"Nothing. He just asked me if I wanted to move to the Godly Genius Palace,” Rocky replied casually."So, what did you say?" Esteban asked again.

"Of course, I refused,” Rocky said firmly.

"Good. You are indeed smart. Currently, there is no place more suitable to hide your identity thanthe Ghost Palace,” Esteban said with a sigh of relief.

Then, since Gilbert had already given the order that prevented outsiders from coming to the GhostPalace, life became quiet again for Rocky who stayed behind in the palace.

Meanwhile, it turned out that the Godly Geniuses from the other eight fiefs were all much strongerand high-profile than Rocky. Just a few days after they got selected, their names spread aroundalong with their past glories.

Before these geniuses were even chosen, they were already top warriors in their respectiveterritories. Some of them were already powerful warriors, while some were rising stars. Therefore,this batch of Godly Geniuses was really worth the hype.

However, no one really heard about Rocky. The only thing he was known for was that he wasEsteban's disciple. Moreover, no one knew that Esteban had such a disciple before, so many peoplewere actually looking down upon the Godly Genius of the Ghost Fief.
