Chapter 1437 Tessa's Plan

"Why did you make trouble again? I've only been gone for a few days, and you couldn't help but misbehave, could you?" Tessa complained as she placed her hands on her hips and glared at Rocky. A few days ago, she had left for Sword Spirit Sect after receiving an urgent summons from the sect. However, when she returned to the city, she heard that Rocky had defeated Cory in the competition.
