When Alyssa finished speaking, she walked straight ahead and brushed past Rocky. Seeing that he remained frozen in place, she urged, "Let's go. What are you waiting for? If you don't come, I'll just go without you." Then, she turned around and continued walking.
'Why do women always say one thing and mean another?' Rocky wondered, shaking his head with a bitter smile as he watched Alyssa's back. It would save him a lot of trouble if he could heal his wounds with Alyssa, and he had been hoping that she would have the same line of thought.
He knew that Alyssa already knew a lot of his secrets, so she might "torture" him to find out more, but he still followed her because he needed to confirm a few things.
At dawn the next day...
In the Qi Clan's mansion, many people had stayed up all night because Alyssa had suddenly taken Rocky away and hadn't returned. Needless to say, a lot of rumors would spring up about the two of them if they didn't come back soon.
Besides, the final result of the competition had not been announced by Alyssa yet, so the winner of the Beast Master Contest was still uncertain, and no one knew who would win.
In the wing house where members of the Cao Clan lived, Woods and the members of the Cao Clan had also stayed up the whole night, waiting for Alyssa and Rocky to return. Their disappearance had put all of them on edge.
"Your Royal Highness, why haven't Mr. Rookie and Her Royal Highness come back yet? Could they be in trouble?" Lucilla asked worriedly. As the chief of the Cao Clan, she was the most concerned about their disappearance. After all, to the Cao Clan, Rocky was like a priceless treasure. Even if the Cao Clan did end up losing the Beast Master Contest, it would not be a bad thing for them, since they had gotten this chance to find out about Rocky's hidden talents and abilities.
Woods shook his head, frowning. He also had a feeling that something was wrong. He knew that no matter how much his sister and Rocky had to talk about, they couldn't possibly talk all night long. What was more, his sister was so decisive that she would have either just killed Rocky or let him come back after a while of talking to him. She would never have stayed out all night of her own accord. Hence, he felt that something was wrong.
"How about sending people to look for them?" Lucas started to fidget with his hands. He was so distressed that the white wisps of hair on his chin had almost fallen off.
"I'll go and look for them," Queenie volunteered, jumping out of her seat impatiently. It was not that she actually cared about Rocky. But if something happened to him, she would not have the chance to play with the flying spiritual beast anymore. Or at least, that was what she told herself. The truth was, the fact that Rocky hadn't returned for a whole night had made her inexplicably agitated.
"I will go with you," Juey said immediately.
"Don't worry. My sister knows what she is doing," Woods said immediately. Although he was secretly worried about them as well, he didn't want the members of the Cao Clan to get unnecessarily worked up.
Just then, a disciple of the Qi Clan suddenly walked into the wing house.
"Your Royal Highness, our Chief invites you, the Chief of the Cao Clan, and Master Lucas to the front hall," he said to Woods, cupping his hands respectfully.
"What's the matter?" Woods asked seriously.
"He didn't tell me. He just asked me to invite you there." Woods narrowed his eyes suspiciously. It seemed that the Qi Clan didn't want them to know what was going on. He turned to Lucilla and Lucas to gauge their thoughts.
