However, Tod was secretly glad that Lucilla hadn't been prepared for the Qi Clan's tricks in the critical battle. Unless something unexpected happened, the Cao Clan would definitely lose this competition, putting them in a tough spot.
At this moment, the sharp-eyed Freddy noticed that the participant the Cao Clan was sending on stage was Juey, of all people. "What? Isn't that Miss Juey of the Xiao Clan? Why is she being sent on stage? From what I heard, she doesn't know any Beast Curing Skill. Aren't you just sending her to her death? Lucilla, even though you are the chief of the Cao Clan, you don't seem to be worried about our clan at all. You've just set us up for failure by sending a girl who doesn't know the Beast Curing Skill at such a critical moment!" he exclaimed aggressively.
Lucilla's face darkened with a hint of embarrassment, but she had no words to offer in response since she had just blindly trusted Rocky without knowing his plan. She couldn't tell them the truth, either, because her uncles would use it as an excuse to ridicule her and take away her post as chief of the Cao Clan.
"Lucilla, what do you have to say for yourself? If you don't give us an explanation, we won't let you go. If the Cao Clan loses the Beast Master Contest this time, you better retire from your position as chief. Otherwise, we will have to invite all the elders of the clan and tell them what happened. That will just cause embarrassment to everyone involved," Tod sneered, trying to drive Lucilla into a corner so that she would give up her position.
"Uncle, why are you being so unreasonable?" Lucilla gave Tod an exasperated stare.
"Lucilla, we're not the ones being unreasonable. You should take responsibility for failing the Cao Clan!" Tod rebuked.
"Tod, this is not the time or place for this conversation. We can talk about it after the Beast Master Contest," Lucas interjected, furious after hearing Tod's words.
"Very well, Master Lucas. When we return, we will surely tell everyone about this." Tod's intention was to add fuel to the fire and to hold the advantageous position. Although Lucas supported Lucilla, the Cao Clan was probably going to lose the Beast Master Contest. Moreover, the Cao Clan had already been defeated by the Qi Clan many times so far, which was obviously the chief's responsibility.
Lucas just snorted and didn't respond.
As for Lucilla, she bit her lip hard to keep her emotions in check. Although she looked calm on the surface, she was a little afraid in her heart. If the Cao Clan did indeed lose, her uncles would spare no effort to force her to give up her position of the chief of the Cao Clan. If that happened, the Cao Clan would certainly fall into chaos.
There was a cold glint in Rocky's eyes as he stared at the waiting area where the Cao Clan was. Then, a wicked grin appeared at the corners of his mouth. It seemed that he already had a plan.
The second round of competition began as Juey entered the ring.
Two spirit-manipulated beasts with injuries were brought out to the diagnosis tables.
The beast curer of the Qi Clan immediately executed his garish Beast Curing Skill and began to diagnose the spirit-manipulated beast in front of him.
In stark contrast, Juey, who was standing on stage for the first time in her life, froze and looked around timidly. Her heart pounded in nervousness when she saw so many people staring at her. It was not until her eyes met Rocky's that she finally calmed down.
There was a hint of expectation in his eyes that lit a fire within her.
