"Master Lucas, Mr. Rookie likes being alone. Could you please arrange two separate rooms for us?" Juey requested, casting a glance at Rocky.
"Well, that's not a problem. Miss Juey, do you have feelings for Mr. Rookie?" Lucas had observed how intimate Rocky and Juey were. He even thought they were a couple.
"Master Lucas, you misunderstood. Mr. Rookie treats me like his sister." Juey's cheeks flushed a deep shade of red.
"Is that so? That's a pity. You two could have made a perfect couple," Lucas remarked with a smile.
Juey felt her face heat up as Rocky stood calmly.
Later that day, Lucas requested two rooms in the remote wing house for Rocky and Juey. A servant led them to their respective rooms. As soon as they were settled, Lucas asked someone to inform Lucilla of Rocky's arrival.
Rocky and Juey followed the servant who directed them to their rooms in the Osmanthus Yard, which was clean and quiet. The smell of osmanthus filled the yard. No one else was there.
"Juey, I have something to deal with later. Will you be alright here alone?" Rocky asked Juey before they separated into their own rooms.
"This is the Cao mansion. Do you think anyone will hurt me here?" Juey joked with a smile.
Rocky nodded and walked into his room.
A few moments later, Rocky left the mansion. He was planning to ask if Woods was in the royal palace or another mansion so he could begin his quest to find him. From what he had gathered, Woods had his own mansion in the capital.
Rocky went to Woods' mansion and snuck in through the back door. When he saw a servant coming out of the exit, he flashed a smile.
Then, he walked up towards the servant and started intimidating him with questions. Eventually, the servant gave him what he wanted. He said that Woods had been ordered to go to the flooded cities of the Timber Deity Empire to help deal with the flood. No one knew when he would return.
'I hope Woods will return before the end of the Beast Master Contest. I don't have time to wait for him, ' Rocky thought to himself. He thanked the servant by giving him a bank note worth a hundred silver coins.
It was his first time in the capital of the Timber Deity Empire, so he took some time to wander around. He passed by a tea house and noticed some men idling around. When he overheard what they were talking about, he stopped.
"Hey, did you hear that? Commander in Chief Rocky of the Crimson Dragon Group, the man who made the Timber Deity Empire army suffer, is actually Prince Basil of the Holy Dragon Empire."
