“I thought you said you had nothing to do with the Di Clan?” Rocky teased, shaking his head.
“Well, just because I have no direct relation to them doesn’t mean we can’t enter the school pretending to be one of them, right?” Eunice retorted as she rolled her eyes at Rocky.
Seeing her huffy face, Rocky immediately wore a “you win” look, then sighed and smiled.
“Before you register, let me show you around the school first,” Eunice amiably offered. Her invitation gave Rocky the impression that she knew the place well.
“Oh? Isn’t this your first time here?” Rocky found it odd that she would offer to give him a tour to an unfamiliar place.
“Of course not,” Eunice replied casually and started walking forward.
As Rocky looked at her back, he shook his head and muttered something under his breath. “What a mysterious woman! I wonder who she really is.”
Intrigued, he willingly caught up to Eunice and followed her.
While Rocky was thinking about what secrets she must be keeping, Eunice showed him around the Sky-suppressing School.
"The Sky-suppressing Mansion is led by a military family, so their management naturally adopts military-style practices. Every warrior who chooses to enter the school is subject to very strict control.
Despite the stringent supervision, the school still attracts a lot of spirit warriors to go there, mainly because it will produce at least three spirit warriors with Imperial Souls, around thirty spirit warriors with Spiritual Infants at the middle stage, and hundreds of young talents every year,"
Eunice introduced in detail. “It’s actually not a big deal. What I’m about to tell you, though, is the most terrifying part about this mansion.” As she spoke, she had an exaggerated expression on her face.
“Why? What’s so impressive about it?” Rocky returned her enthusiasm with excitement.
When Eunice perceived that Rocky was eager to find out, she leaned a little closer to him and talked in hushed whispers. “Last year, the school trained the most famous female genius in the Ethereal Region. She's only eighteen years old now, but has the strength that is close to that of the warriors with Imperial Soul. She’s the daughter of the current chief of the Sky-suppressing Mansion. Everyone knew her as the destined phoenix girl. Word has it, they even recognize her as the most beautiful woman in the entire Ethereal Region.”
“Really? Now I’m getting more interested in this,” Rocky replied with a visible grin on his face.
"Tch. Pervert!" Eunice immediately retorted disdainfully.
“What? I’m not interested in her. I’m curious about her strength. You said it yourself. She’s just eighteen years old. It’s almost impossible for her to reach a level that is close to the Imperial Soul given her young age. Unless there’s a unique trick or something…” Rocky said as if he was deep in thought.
“There have been many rumors circulating around the Ethereal Region, but I’m afraid that only the people from the Sky-suppressing Mansion know the truth behind it. Besides, we don’t have time for that. We will enter the school because we have to carry out a certain task. Since we’re here using the name of the Di Clan, theoretically, no one should dare make trouble for us. However, just in case, we should still keep a low profile and avoid confronting anyone as much as possible, especially those from the Sky-suppressing Mansion,” Eunice warned sternly.
“But what if they deliberately provoked me?” Rocky asked indifferently.
“Why would someone provoke you? If you keep yourself out of trouble, no one will intentionally offend you!” Upon saying that, Eunice took a good look at Rocky. Although she knew that he was by no means an ordinary person, if one would just inspect his appearance, there would be nothing special about him. Moreover, his spiritual aura was also weak. Eunice couldn't even figure out how he had cultivated to his current level.
“I don’t know. After all, I’m so charming. Even if I don’t do anything, some people get envious of me,” Rocky retorted in a conceited tone.
“You narcissistic bastard! Stop dreaming!” Eunice snapped back.
Hearing her serious reaction, Rocky couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Due to his loud laugher, many people around them looked over in their direction. Then, soon enough, a very mature and burly man suddenly approached them.
“Eunice? What are you doing here?” The man seemed to know Eunice and was a bit surprised to see her here.
“Hayden?” As she looked over to the man who approached them, Eunice didn’t expect to see someone she knew.
