"I'm not sure if Canaan was also involved. It could have been his confidant's own doing. If that were the case, it would have nothing to do with Canaan or the Sky-suppressing Mansion," Shirley said with a frown.
"What's his name?" Rocky asked.
"Ishaan Gao," Shirley replied.
"Given Canaan's identity and his high status, he wouldn't have to sell his country for wealth. My guess is that it was Ishaan. Canaan is innocent," Rocky said after some thought.
"I think there is a huge conspiracy behind this," Shirley said, nodding. "I hope you don't get involved. You might get into trouble. Canaan is a master at the Emperor Realm. You can't deal with him. If you try to investigate Ishaan, you will offend Canaan."
"I will have to think about it. By the way, I found Alyssa." Rocky didn't want to tell her that he would get involved yet, so he changed the topic.
"Alyssa? Really?" Shirley exclaimed. If they could get in touch with Alyssa, it would be much easier to find their other companions.
"Yes. She is the commander in chief of the spiritual race now. However, she didn't want to become the commander in chief, but somehow she had to," Rocky explained.
"Is there anyone else with her?" Shirley asked, getting more excited.
"She didn't mention it. Her identity is special now and it's not appropriate for her to say too much!" Rocky shook his head.
"If that's all you had to tell me, I will go. I'll come to see you again when I'm free," Shirley said.
"Wait, Shirley!" Rocky shouted the moment that she turned around.
"What's wrong?" Shirley looked back at Rocky.
"I think we have to investigate the matter of Ishaan selling information to the spiritual race. It might be our only opportunity." Rocky had made up his mind in a short period of time.
"So you want to risk it. What can I do?" Shirley didn't really expect Rocky to let it go. She knew that he refused to give up so easily.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained! If we can collect evidence, we may be able to solve everything!" Rocky exclaimed, smiling.
"But what are you going to do?" Shirley asked impatiently, rolling her eyes at Rocky.
"I'm going to go to the Sky-suppressing Mansion to perform an investigation and meet the son of the chief," Rocky answered.
"Are you crazy?" Shirley's eyes widened.
"Yes. It comes with my personality," Rocky joked. He wore a confident smile on his face.
"Then I'll go with you!" Shirley exclaimed, frowning in determination.
"Will it be convenient for you?" Rocky asked.
"I have to come with you no matter what. The risk is too large if you go by yourself."
"All right. I'll report to Commander Wang first. Then we'll set off. Wait for me outside the valley."
Shirley nodded in agreement and walked away.
Rocky traveled to Tucker's tent and entered it. Then he explained that he had found a clue that might lead to the mysterious person who had sold the information to the spiritual race.
When he heard that, Tucker naturally grew excited. After all, if he could find the mysterious person who had sold the military secrets of the human race to the spiritual race, it would be a great contribution. He approved it straight away.
After that, Rocky went to inform Eunice, Kye, and Maxwell that he must leave to carry out a new task.
"Ishaan is a well-known figure in the Sky-suppressing City. He is in charge of a lot of businesses that the Sky-suppressing Mansion owns. He is respected by many people. Because he is Canaan's confidant, not a lot of people in the Sky-suppressing City dare to offend him. But he has a special hobby that everyone knows about," Shirley explained.
"Is he a womanizer?" Rocky raised his eyebrows.
"All men are lascivious, aren't they? No. He likes collecting spiritual beasts." Shirley rolled her eyes at Rocky.
"He collects spiritual beasts? That's not a weakness, is it?"
"Of course collecting spiritual beasts is not a weakness. But he is obsessed. That is the difference," Shirley answered. "Isn't it your specialty to study spiritual beasts? You could use it to get closer to Ishaan."
"That sounds like a good idea." Rocky nodded.
"In order to feed into his hobby of collecting spiritual beasts, Ishaan built a very luxurious Spiritual Beast Palace in the Sky-suppressing Mansion. He keeps all the spiritual beasts he collected there. Several times a month, it is open to outsiders so that he can communicate with people that share his hobby. And if anyone has a rare beast to sell, they go to the Spiritual Beast Palace. There will be someone there to purchase it." It was clear that Shirley had come on the mission prepared.
"Really? I guess I will have to use the Purple-flaming Phoenix to get close to Ishaan," Rocky said, forming a plan in his mind.
"Are you going to the Spiritual Beast Palace now?" Shirley asked.
"Of course, but before we go there, I think we need a disguise. We don't look like businesspeople right now." Rocky looked both Shirley and himself over and shook his head.
"I know there is a good clothing store in the Sky-suppressing Mansion." Shirley's eyes lit up.
'Shopping for clothes is indeed a woman's pastime!' Rocky thought to himself as he saw Shirley smiling.
The two of them then headed for the clothing store that Shirley had been talking about.
