Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

Rocky and Juey had been received by Lucas and entered the Cyan Dragon Hall.

"Mr. Rookie, Miss Juey, please have a seat," Lucas greeted them as he signaled towards the seats and asked people to serve them tea.

"Thank you, Master Lucas," Rocky replied politely.

"Mr. Rookie, you must be wondering why I recommended you to the chief of the Cao Clan to attend the Beast Master Contest on behalf of the Xiao Clan." Lucas was quick to get to the point. He looked at Rocky with stern eyes as he surveyed him.

But Rocky remained calm and composed. He even smiled at Lucas, as if to say that he was serious and had nothing to hide. But Lucas was sure that Rocky was deliberately hiding his true strength. That was why Rocky caught his eye.

"Yeah, I'm a little confused," Rocky replied frankly.

"I think you already know the reason, Mr. Rookie," Lucas answered back.

"Are you referring to when I saved Miss Queenie, Master Lucas?" Of course, Rocky already knew that Lucas had seen through his true strength.

"Mr. Rookie, you said you saved Miss Queenie. What happened?" Juey asked immediately in surprise. She didn't know when and how he had saved Queenie. He mentioned nothing of the incident during the past few days.

"I have forgotten to thank you for saving Queenie's life, Mr. Rookie. The chief wants to thank you personally. That's why she invited you here," Lucas said in gratitude.

"Well, it was just a coincidence. I didn't actually plan on helping her," Rocky said, still keeping a playful look on his face.

Hearing that, Lucas didn't say anything but smiled.

"Does Miss Queenie know that I'm here?" Rocky asked. Logically speaking, if Queenie knew that he was here, she would be the first one to appear.

"I've asked the servants to not tell Queenie

Rocky said with a shrug. Although he didn't say yes directly, it was a tacit consent. After all, this was the only way he could get what he wanted which was to let Juey take part in the Beast Master Contest.

Of course, Rocky had already anticipated it. He could use this time to see Woods and ask him for a reward for saving his life.

"Then I'll arrange two rooms for you in the wing house where the Xiao Clan members live," Lucas offered now that Rocky had agreed to his term.

"Don't bother. Just arrange a room for Juey. I can find a place to live on my own." Rocky felt that it was inconvenient to keep staying in the Cao mansion. He'd rather live an idle life.

"Mr. Rookie, please stay!" Juey was happy to be with Rocky during the past few days. She had already learned how to perform simple surgical skills, but she still wanted to be with him. Hearing that he'd leave her to be alone made her lash out like a spoiled child.

When Rocky saw that Juey didn't want him to leave, his heart immediately softened. He felt like he owed her something in his past life. Maybe he felt he owed Sue a lot, so he wanted to make it up to her by being nice to a girl who resembled her.
