Chapter 763 Stir Up Trouble

After class, Harry asked someone to lead the disciples of the Xiao Clan to the pharmacy where they were going to learn how to identify medicinal flowers and herbs under the guidance of a beast curer from their clan.

Rocky's face was blank as he joined the tail end of the group. 'If I had known this, I shouldn't have gone to the disciples recruitment interview yesterday; I'd much rather be with the lonely beasts in the beast farm!' he thought.

At this moment, a figure approached Rocky. Rocky turned his head and recognized him—Jonas.

"I don't even know your name. Would you at least tell me that first?" Jonas asked with a smile.

"You can call me Rookie," Rocky replied with one eyebrow arched. "Alright then, Rookie. By the way..." Jonas started but did not continue. He looked flushed as if he was embarrassed of whatever he was about to say.

He was visibly hesitant.

"Just say it. Suppressing your feelings will do you no good," Rocky remarked as he noticed Jonas' expression.

"I just wanted to ask how you were able to catch everything Master Harry told us during class. I barely remember half of it. Then I realized you were practically asleep during half the class," Jonas replied with a slight chuckle.

"Maybe I'm just a bit cleverer than you." Rocky, of course, was being falsely modest. He knew he was more than a bit cleverer than Jonas. He was a gifted man with an extremely retentive memory.

"Could you please share what you learned from Master Harry with me when you're free? I could really use some help so I can understand it better," Jonas begged with a hopeful expression.

"You seem like a diligent man," Rocky commented as he flashed Jonas a quick look.

"To be honest, I had worked for a whole year before I finally became a member of the Xiao Clan last month. I was orphaned at a young age. My sister and I grew up with our grandpa. Our life wasn't easy and it's just getting harder. My grandpa is old and my sister is young.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

ortunately, he did not have any money with him at that moment. He had to sell a few items and some rare objects of the spirit-manipulated beasts that he had collected in the desert. He didn't want to have to sell any of the materials in the Magical Beast House. Those were rare and were at least at three-star level. He didn't want anyone there to become suspicious of him.

Rocky entered the main hall of the Magical Beast House. As he was about to get out of the gate, he heard a commotion on the third floor. "Hurry up!" a staff member shouted while running down. "Call Butler Willie over. Something bad happened."

"What is it? Don't make us nervous!" Willie appeared in the hall looking greatly displeased about being disturbed.

That staff member walked up to him and whispered something to him.

"What? How could that happen?" A shadow dawned on Willie's face. He followed the staff member and they walked toward the stairs.

'Looks like something bad just happened, ' Rocky thought to himself. He figured that something was up in the auction hall on the third floor.

Rocky tried not to be bothered too much for he didn't want to waste his time. As he was about to leave, he heard someone shout, "Everyone, listen! The pill from the Magical Beast House poisoned my spirit-manipulated beast to death!"
