"If the two of you still feel worried, I'll immediately leave the Sword Spirit City without causing any trouble. To be honest, although I've only been in the Sword Spirit City for a few months, I already learned a lot. That's how I made so much progress so quickly! Even if I leave the Sword Spirit City now, I'll still remember that you gave me the chance to cultivate here. Given the chance in the future, I will definitely repay the Sword Spirit City..." Rocky took the opportunity and made sure to carefully choose his words to touch the hearts of Timothy and Harrison.
"Young man, there's no need for that! We aren't unreasonable people. If you're saying the truth, we can come to an understanding. However, it's the first time that we have faced a situation like this in our Sword Spirit City, and it's also rare to see a talented young man like you. Apart from some minor things, you did progress so quickly in such a short period of time that it's only fitting to describe you as a genius, but that's also the same reason that we have to be suspicious of you. After all, many coincidences invite suspicion. Of course, I'll keep in mind that you risked your life to protect Hannah. So, why don't you step out for a bit? I'll discuss this with Harrison and then we'll tell you our decision." Timothy gave him a kind smile.
"I understand." Rocky nodded and cupped his hands towards the two of them before leaving.
As soon as he walked out of the Arcane Sword Hall, he saw Tessa and Ramon standing right at the door. The frazzled Tessa quickly homed in on him.
"Are you okay?" she nervously asked as soon as she saw Rocky exit. From the moment Hannah took him away, Tessa realized that Rocky must be in trouble.
"Hard to say. It all comes down on the decision Master Timothy and Master Harrison make. There's a chance I'll have to leave the Sword Spirit Sect soon," Rocky replied, a weak smile on his face.
"Leave? No way! I'll go inside and reason with them immediately. You didn't do anything wrong. Why would you have to leave?" Tessa immediately became upset, since her trust in Rocky was absolute. Even though Rocky kept secrets from her in the past, she completely believed that he was definitely a good person.
"I know you want to help me, but there's no need for you to do that. I believe that Master Timothy will definitely make a rational decision," Rocky assured her with a casual wave of his hand.
"But if you just leave like this, who will help me train Nightshade..." A pout appeared on Tessa's lips.
"Nightshade recently made a lot of progress. You can train it in the future by yourself. I'll give you the training method," Rocky reassured her.
At the same time, Timothy and Harrison continued their discussion in the Arcane Sword Hall. They found it difficult to come to a decision.
If Rocky hadn't managed to break through to the King Realm in today's battle, they wouldn't even hesitate in kicking him out of the Sword Spirit Sect. Their suspicion regarding Rocky's background still gnawed on them. However, Rocky reached the King Realm and showed various extraordinary skills, and it made them feel that it would be a pity if they abandoned him.
Everyone knew that the amount of manpower and material resources a clan or a sect needed to train a warrior to be a master at the King Realm was unimaginable. Moreover, it was even rarer to see someone like Rocky who was obviously outstanding in the aspect of beast taming. Although the Sword Spirit Sect specialized in swordsmanship, they also paid great attention to the cultivation of other skills. However, they still failed to cultivate any extraordinary talents. Yet Rocky, a supernormal talent, came to their sect. Rocky was considered a supernormal talent because he could do many things that could not be explained by common sense. That included his spiritual aura that even Timothy and Harrison couldn't detect, the magical beast transformation skill, and his talent in both beast taming and beast curing. If the Sword Spirit Sect gave up on such a talent, other sects and clans would surely snap him up and invite him to join them. Meanwhile, the Sword Spirit Sect would lose a powerful disciple.
However, Timothy and Harrison had to carefully consider if there was any truth in Rocky's words or whether he had other intentions. If Rocky did anything harmful to them after they agreed to let him stay, then it would also cause them great damage.
"Master Timothy, I leave this up to you!" Harrison found it difficult to make a choice, so he left it to Timothy to make the call.
