Queenie, who had just got off Rainbow Glow Unicorn, didn't seem to care at all and just rolled her eyes. Despite the mischief on her face, her voice was serious as she carefully spoke, "I didn't expect you to be hiding such a powerful spiritual beast and it's much more powerful than it looks. Although I don't know why you're hiding your real strength, you must have your reasons. I'll help you keep your secret, if you let me play with your spirit-manipulated beast tomorrow."
"No way!" Rocky turned her down immediately with a shake of his head and quickly left.
"Stingy!" Queenie whined but didn't give up as she gave chase despite his long strides.
As soon as they entered the Cao mansion, two disciples of the Cao Clan hurriedly appeared before them. "Miss Queenie, you're finally back. The chief sent people everywhere to look for you."
"I screwed up. Tate must have told Lucilla!" Queenie immediately guessed that her sister had caught scent of her wrongdoings.
Since there was nothing else for him to do, Rocky wanted to go back to the Osmanthus Yard first. But before he could take even one step away, Queenie grabbed onto his arm and said, "You have to go with me." Without another word, she dragged Rocky to the hall.
Even though he didn't want to be dragged into one more of Queenie's escapades, it wasn't wrong to say that Queenie caused problems this time because of him. Her original intention was to protect the Cao Clan anyway. Moreover, Queenie knew his secret, what if she revealed it? It would spell bad news for his future plans if the Cao Clan found out his stories. He couldn't let them be suspicious either.
"I'll come with you but you have to keep my secret." Rocky walked alongside her as he laid out his conditions.
"All right, all right. I'll keep your little secret. Who wants to tell others anyway?" Queenie
y in its last lap with the white line in sight. Any mistake, no matter how small, might have a great impact on the Cao Clan.
"Don't you dare cry. Do you know what you've done? Why did you go to the Spirit Treasure Hall?! You even got Mr. Rookie involved..." Lucilla rebuked her, every word laced with disappointment. She could forgive the fact that Rocky was exposed to the Qi Clan, but how would she explain to her dead mother and father if something happened to Queenie? The two clans were enemies now and the Qi Clan was ruthless and cruel, no one knew what they'd do. Queenie was her only sister, thus, when she heard the message from the Qi Clan, her fear and anger nearly drove her mad.
"Chief Lucilla, Queenie knows that she's wrong now. So this time..." Lucas pitied Lucilla who was desperately trying to fight back her tears.
"Chief?" Rocky turned to look at Lucilla with widened eyes.
"Mr. Rookie, it's all my fault. I didn't discipline her well. Please forgive me! Could we discuss the matter happened at the Spirit Treasure Hall later? For now I just want to deal with family affairs..." Lucilla dismissed Rocky because she thought it was inappropriate to say something in front of someone who wasn't their family.
