"Actually..." Aware that Juey misunderstood him, Rocky wanted to explain his side further. However, Juey had already grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the interview area.
"Miss Juey, you misunderstood me. I don't want to..." Rocky was amused. Juey was too excited to let him finish what he wanted to say.
When the disciples that were tasked to keep the order for the Xiao Clan saw Juey, they made way for her. Rocky did not have the chance to finish his words. She dragged him into the interview area as the surrounding people fixed their eyes on them, including Mary and several beast curers.
Almost everyone in the crowd knew Juey. They whispered among themselves and speculated about the identity of Rocky and why he seemed to be so intimate with Juey. Their being together made most of the people jealous.
Mary also became upset when she saw that Juey's body was just an inch away from Rocky. She immediately walked towards them and scolded her sister, "What are you doing, Juey? How can you behave like this in front of all these people? Do you want them to gossip about you?"
"Fine." Juey let go of Rocky.
Mary then looked at Rocky with anger in her eyes. As she stared at him, she realized he looked familiar. She thought carefully and asked, "Are you the one working at the beast farm?"
"You still remember me?" Rocky replied with a sheepish smile.
"Mary, he wants to take part in the interview. Can you include him?" Juey asked.
"Him? He is not even a spirit manipulator. He is not eligible for the interview," Mary answered without batting an eyelash.
"We accepted an apprentice who was not a spirit manipulator before. He could learn the cultivation method once he joined our clan," Juey argued. She knew that if Rocky was talented enough, he could enroll and learn the skill from scratch even if he was not a spirit manipulator.
"Stop it! If father finds out, he will reprimand you." Mary frowned as if disgusted with Juey's unreasonable request.
"Father is not here, and he doesn't have to know. I think he is talented. Just let him have a try. You can always dismiss him if he performs poorly." Juey took another shot in defending Rocky. She had seen him tame the baby Magic Sword Panther the previous night, and she had a strong feeling that he was talented.
"Miss Juey, please don't bother. I don't intend to take part in the interview," Rocky explained.
"Good! At least you know where you stand. Now, go back to work!" Mary ordered and glanced at Rocky from head to foot. Clearly, she disapproved of him.
