It took years for the Xiao Clan to advance their power. However, they belonged to the third class for a long time, and this was considered an inferior rank. Thanks to the favorable outcome of the Beast Curing Skill and the successful business of the Magical Beast House, the Xiao Clan now possessed a strong economic power. Otherwise, the more powerful families would have destroyed the Xiao Clan.
The backyard of the Magical Beast House occupied part of the Xiao's mansion. Rocky caught sight of houses that belonged to the disciples of the Xiao Clan. It was their place of work, and if you went further north, you could see the magnificent Xiao's mansion.
Rocky had been staying at the Xiao Clan residence for three days, but he never met the chief of it nor glimpsed him. He only heard bits and pieces of information from the servants. He knew that Juey, who took him in out of kindness, was the third daughter of Raef.
Rocky also heard from the servants that Juey was not well-liked by the Xiao Clan. In fact, she almost had no status and had no position in the family business. Unlike Juey's sister Mary, who was Raef's second daughter. According to the servants, Mary was Raef's favorite.
This was because Mary had inherited the blood of Xiao Clan. She was also blessed with a remarkable talent for beast healing. Raef favored her above everyone else because of this and cultivated her while she was young. She was famous for her Beast Curing Skill in the Timber Deity Empire and she would most likely take over her father's position. On the other hand, Juey did not inherit any of the Xiao Clan's medical talents. They considered her dull and mentally deficient in the aspect of beast healing. So while Raef took excellent care of Mary, he ignored Juey completely as her daughter.
Raef also had a sworn son, Travis. They said that he became a disciple of the Xiao Clan while he was still very young. He had an excellent medical talent, and since Raef did not have a biological son, he adopted Travis.
Apparently, despite of Raef's numerous disciples, only Travis mastered their Xiao Clan's Beast Curing Skill. The other disciples had average talent and only learned basic beast curing skills. Because of this, Travis earned Raef's love and confidence.
The other Xiao Clan members followed suit. They welcomed Travis and were warm-hearted to him and Mary. Just like Raef, they remained distant and uninterested in Juey.
The Xiao Clan business had nothing to do with Rocky. He stayed because of the countless resources, and the Magical Beast House provided an excellent research environment. It was also a suitable place to cover up his identity while he checked on the current situation at the Holy Dragon Empire. His rumored betrayal had caused a stir in the entire empire. Much as he wanted to go back, he had to wait for the perfect time.
