"I've received information that Geoffrey has joined hands with the Qi Clan. He has also sent someone to secretly investigate your identity. Apart from us, no one in the Timber Deity Empire knows your real identity, but with Geoffrey's resources, it's just a matter of time before they find out!" Alyssa said, throwing a meaningful glance at Rocky.
Laney frowned and bit her lip. "Your Royal Highness, if people find out that Mr. Rocky is actually Prince Basil, it will be a bad thing for you and Prince Woods. The other princes will use this information to turn people against the both of you!"
"Exactly." Alyssa nodded.
Laney turned to Rocky with a confused expression and asked, "But Mr. Rocky, how are you still alive? And why have you come to the Timber Deity Empire?"
"Oh, it's a long story," replied Rocky.
"According to the current situation, I think we should send you away from the Timber Deity Empire as soon as possible," Laney suggested after giving it some thought.
"I agree. Since Geoffrey has begun to investigate your identity, we have to send you away just in case. How about you go back to the Holy Dragon Empire?" Woods said to Rocky. Although he wished that Rocky could stay here and help him, it was not advisable in the current situation. If Rocky's true identity came to light, it would only complicate matters. In particular, it would have a big impact on his fight for the throne.
"No, he can't leave the Timber Deity Empire yet," Alyssa said firmly, shaking her head. She couldn't let Rocky leave before she made a decision. Since she already had a month's agreement with him, she would not let go of him so easily.
Both Woods and Laney were puzzled to hear this and waited for Alyssa to explain. When she stayed silent, however, they realized that Alyssa had a secret that she didn't want to talk about. Whatever it was, if Rocky was to continue staying in the Timber Deity Empire, they would have to come up with an idea to conceal his identity.
"Maybe we can send him back to the Xiao Clan's mansion in Barren City. It will be safe there," Woods suggested after a while.
"No matter where we send him, he will be safe as long as he keeps a low profile," Alyssa grumbled. Ever since Rocky had "died" and "come back to life," there had been a series of ups and downs. Now, she needed Rocky once again for something that was important for her. Therefore, anything that happened to him would have an impact on her as well.
Rocky shook his head. "I don't think keeping a low profile will make people stop suspecting me. In fact, if I keep a low profile all of a sudden, people will become even more suspicious. I think I should act the opposite. Although this is not my style, I'm afraid I'll have to reveal a fake identity to everyone. This is the best way to keep my real identity a secret."
"I think Mr. Rocky is right. It's better to lie to everyone instead of just hiding," Laney said immediately.
Woods also nodded in agreement. If they could make everyone buy the lie, that would be the best course of action. Alyssa didn't object either, but she had one particular concern.
"True, but he is the imperial spirit manipulator of the Holy Dragon Empire. If someone deliberately tests him, he will easily expose his strength like he almost did just now. If I hadn't stopped him in time, Harold might have found out that he is the imperial spirit manipulator." As she spoke, she shot a glare at Rocky. She knew that although there were many types of powers inside Rocky's body, he could not always avoid using the power of the Dragon Spirit Mark. Therefore, if Rocky was to fight with someone else, he could unwittingly reveal his identity as the imperial spirit manipulator. And once that identity was exposed, it would be hard to hide his identity as Prince Basil.
