Not long after walking out of the contest venue, Juey saw Rocky suddenly convulse with pain and let out a low groan. Blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth, in stark contrast to his pale face.
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. I just didn't expect the after-effects of using the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill to be so severe." With a bitter smile on his face, Rocky shook his head to comfort Juey. As it turned out, it was very difficult for him to use the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill with the amount of strength he currently had. The main prerequisite for performing the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill was to have acquired the spiritual power at the Supernal Stage or higher. What was more, one should know to make their five sense organs work in harmony to ensure psychic communion. Therefore, it would take a lot of energy to cause even a little impact. In addition, the Heavenly Shadow Evaluation Skill also 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 waist and 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 Clan had begun to feel the pressure.
At the moment, in a magnificent hall on the east side of the Qi Clan mansion, the Qi Clan members had gathered around to discuss today's contest. At the head of the table sat Alexander while the clan elders, Tate and Samson, sat on either side of him. Apart from them, there were a few other elders and executive leaders seated at the table.
"Damn it! We never expected that the Cao Clan would have such a talented beast evaluator who could even defeat our beast evaluator at the seventh level! And to make things worse, we spent so much 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 heard that Princess Alyssa also seems to be curious about this guy. It will be ba
an disputes are full of fraud and deceit. It will be hard for a girl like Juey to hold her own in such a sophisticated environment."
"That's why I'm asking you to help her. If someone with your level of shrewdness is by her side, she won'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 your childhood," replied Rocky.
"Are you comforting me?" Mary was getting more and more curious about this man, who seemed to have a special way with words, especially when nobody else was around. Therefore, she also knew 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 at Mary with an indescribable look in his eyes.
Mary stared back, lost in thought.
When she finally came to her senses, she said, "I want to know the reason, Mr. Rookie. Why do you believe that Juey can be the chief of our clan? You should know that she doesn't even know the Beast Curing Skill." This was one of the things that had always bothered Mary. Why did Rocky care about 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 an unfathomable smile.
Mary let her gaze linger on him for a while before she nodded slightly and left.
