"Then how would you like me to repay you? I will surely do something for you in return for this favor," Hannah insisted.
"We'll talk about it after the wedding," Rocky responded.
"Okay." Hannah understood that now wasn't a good time.
Then, Rocky sent her out of his Magic Spiritual Space and once she was gone, Rocky returned continued with his own work.
The day before the wedding, Rocky was summoned to Timothy's study for a private chat.
"Master Timothy, what can I do for you?" Rocky asked straightforwardly.
"Even if there is something that needs to be done, I am not going to let you carry that burden alone once again. I still don't know how to thank you for saving the Sword Spirit Sect." Timothy stroked his beard and smiled kindly.
"You don't need to thank me. I was just doing my job. If you really would like to thank me with a reward, then I won't ask anything special and be satisfied with your choice." Rocky waved his hand.
"That doesn't sound fair to you. I discussed with several elders yesterday. They all know how great your contribution to the Sword Spirit Sect is. Therefore, we have decided to recruit you into the Sword Spirit Sect. You will receive better training that way," Timothy said.
"I'm afraid that's not a good idea, sir. The others don't know what I have done. If you suddenly recruit me into the Sword Spirit Sect, then the gossip-makers will have a field day with that news," Rocky said tentatively. The truth was that entering the Sword Spirit Sect had been the main reason behind his hard work. That was also why he'd wanted to please Timothy.
"Of course, I understand. But I have my own way of dealing with such things. I will announce your recruitment after the wedding." Timothy seemed to have made up his mind.
"All right sir. I think you have made up your mind so I'll do as you say," Rocky uttered.
"Great. Also, I have invited members of the Grand Sky Sect for tomorrow's ceremony. There's a chance that they might be against you. It's best that you remain mentally prepared, although you don't have to worry about your identity being exposed. I have already arranged everything in the Heaven Shadow Pavilion," Timothy told him.
"I see." Rocky nodded.
After a few more words, Timothy dismissed Rocky.
When the latter returned to the Sword Spirit City and was preparing to go back to the beast farm, a delicate figure appeared in front of him suddenly. Although her aura was restrained, it was obvious that she was at the King Realm.
"Miss Eunice?" Rocky recognized her, but looked very calm.
"Looks like you don't want to see me..." Eunice curled her lips at Rocky's expressionless face.
"Oh, no. Of course I am eager to see a beautiful lady like you," Rocky teased.
"Glib talking, huh?" Eunice snorted.
"Do you have a message for me?" Rocky asked directly.
"Not a stupid person, I see. Yes, I have a message for you. I am not an ungrateful person." Eunice crossed her arms over her chest.
"Do you any good news?" Rocky asked.
"I've got both good and bad news. Which one do you want first?" Eunice looked like she was enjoying keeping him in suspense.
"Bad news!" Rocky decided after a while.
"All right. I was unable to get any information about Marcia like you asked," Eunice said.
"Huh? So what's the good news?" Rocky asked.
"Smile then. I have discovered that there is a group of prisoners from the Shura Race who have been sent to the battlefield of the Ethereal Region. Rumor has it that there are a lot of talented warriors among this group of prisoners, so the Shura Race intends to select the most remarkable ones from the field of battle and train them," Eunice informed him.
"Why were they sent to the battlefield?" Rocky asked with a frown.
"It's quite simple. The best ones will naturally be the survivors. It's natural selection," Eunice replied.
"So the Shura Race is just going to let the best prisoners die at the battlefield?" Rocky's face suddenly darkened.
"That's right. I guess very few of them will be left alive after a month," Eunice said.
"Do you know their specific location?" Rocky asked.
"I don't know. But I can continue to inquire about it." Eunice shook her head. "But I think you should first tell me what relationship you have with them."
"I don't think that has anything to do with you," Rocky said with a frown.
"I have already told you that I don't want to interfere in anything related to the Shura Race. But this matter is obviously related to them. I want to know if this will pose any threat to me." Eunice was more worried about her own interests.
