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 andlet out a low groan. Blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth, in stark contrast to his paleface.

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 sosevere." With a bitter smile on his face, Rocky shook his head to comfort Juey. As it turned out, itwas very difficult for him to use the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill with the amount of strengthhe currently had. The main prerequisite for performing the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill was tohave acquired the spiritual power at the Supernal Stage or higher. What was more, one should knowto make their five sense organs work in harmony to ensure psychic communion. Therefore, it wouldtake a lot of energy to cause even a little impact. In addition, the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skillalso 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 waistand 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 Clanhad begun to feel the pressure.

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

"Damn it! We never expected that the Cao Clan would have such a talented beast evaluator whocould even defeat our beast evaluator at the seventh level! And to make things worse, we spent somuch 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 heardthat Princess Alyssa also seems to be curious about this guy. It will be bad for us if she takes a fancyto him," Alexander said seriously. Technically, there was no need to worry that Alyssa would changeher stance, because Samson of the Qi Clan was one of her trusted subordinates. However, if Alyssatook a fancy to Rocky and was inclined to get him on board, it was very likely that she would chooseto be neutral. That meant that she would not show partiality to either of the clans. In that case, theQi Clan and the Cao Clan would have to compete neck to neck, which would be a disadvantage forthe Qi Clan.

It wasn't that Alexander had no confidence that the Qi Clan could defeat the Cao Clan, but it wasalways better to have the upper hand. If a mysterious and exceptionally talented beast tamer orbeast curer showed up in the coming contests to represent the Cao Clan again, it would beimpossible 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 quiteconfident about winning it. As for the contest after that, beast curing, everything has already beenarranged, hasn't it? There's no need for us to fear the Cao Clan at all," Samson said in a very calmtone.

"Master Samson, no matter what, we still need to be careful. Please go and visit Her Royal Highnessas 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, someonesuddenly barged in.

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

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

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

"All right, let her have some fun. If she harasses you, just shake her off,” Rocky joked as he pattedthe 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 abeam 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 hecould 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 stillstayed at a respectful distance from her.

"I heard that you suffered internal injuries after performing the Beast Evaluation Skill, so I've comehere 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 itturns out that you are much more than that. I was mesmerized by your performance during theevaluation contest today. You did so well! I have never seen a fantastic master like you before,” Marysaid, 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 andhelp 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 isa lot of danger that comes with assuming a position of power in a clan. Clan disputes are full offraud and deceit. It will be hard for a girl like Juey to hold her own in such a sophisticatedenvironment.”

"That's why I'm asking you to help her. If someone with your level of shrewdness is by her side, shewon'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 yourchildhood," replied Rocky.

"Are you comforting me?" Mary was getting more and more curious about this man, who seemedto have a special way with words, especially when nobody else was around. Therefore, she alsoknew 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 atMary 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 youbelieve that Juey can be the chief of our clan? You should know that she doesn't even know theBeast Curing Skill." This was one of the things that had always bothered Mary. Why did Rocky careabout 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 anunfathomable smile.

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