Chapter 837 Rocky''s Piece Of Advice


    As Rocky discovered a peaceful bamboo forest surrounded by several stone mountains inside the Qi


    mansion, he also heard a pleasant sound which seemed to being out of a leaf.


    He was drawn to the mncholy sound and searched where it wasing from. He soon saw a


    charming but lonely figure inside the bamboo forest.


    ''Luci?'' Rocky stepped closer and saw that it was Luci, who came to visit the chief of the Qi n a


    few moments ago.


    Just as he was about to approach Luci, another figure appeared out of nowhere.


    "Luci, here you are. I''ve been looking all over for you." It was from a low and gentle voice.


    "What are you doing here? You know that I don''t want to see you," Luci said in a bitter tone.


    The figure turned out to be Tate.


    "If you didn''t want to see me, you wouldn''t havee here. We often came here before. I taught you


    that song you yed," Tate said. His voice was calm and reassuring as he recalled the old days with


    Luci.


    "Everything has changed. We are enemies now," Luci said coldly, then looked away from Tate.


    "Although we have only met a few times in the past ten years, you can see that my love for you hasn''t


    changed," Tate said affectionately.


    "We are not kids anymore. I''m not what I used to be. I had a crush on you, but that was a long time


    ago," Luci said frankly.


    "Then why do you hate me so much? I didn''t even see you for a long time..." Tate had to ask. Luci''s


    attitude confused him.


    "Since you want to know, I have to ask you one question. Did your n secretly push my father into


    madness? I don''t believe my father would go insane suddenly. Someone was responsible for his


    mental illness," Luci asked candidly. She suspected that some people were involved with what


    happened to her father.


    Her question stunned Tate, and he did not know how to answer.


    "I knew it..." The look on Tate''s face confirmed Luci''s suspicion.


    "Luci, let it go or you will only put yourself in harm''s way. Live in peace and embrace your new role


    as the chief of your n. Do not scratch around looking for trouble," Tate warned her. The warmth in his


    voice had disappeared, reced by a forewarning of danger.


    "I will find an evidence. If I found out that the Qi n did it, you and your n will suffer the


    consequences," answered Luci. She tried hard not to cry as anger and resentment filled her eyes.


    "Be careful with your words. You should know better than to threaten us. The Cao n does not have


    the capability to fight against the Qi n." Tate was not afraid of what the Cao n could do to the Qi


    n.


    "Are you sure?" Luci sneered.


    "You will know soon. We, the Qi n, can get whatever we want," Tate said, as if threatening Luci.


    "Let''s wait and see," Luci answered confidently.


    Tate stared at Luci for a brief moment, then left.


    Rocky listened to the entire conversation and could only shake his head in disbelief. It seemed like the


    grudge between the two ns was deep and veryplicated, but he did not intend to interfere. He


    decided to leave and took a step backward when he stepped on a pile of dry bamboo leaves. The dried


    leaves made a creaking sound as Rocky lifted his foot carefully.


    In a sh, a slim figure showed up in front of him. She held a bamboo leaf against his throat and


    seemed to threaten him with the delicate leaf. It happened so fast that even Rocky was surprised. But


    he remained calm and smiled at the person holding the bamboo leaf.


    "Mr. Rookie?" It was Luci, and she looked very surprised to see Rocky.


    "You''re here!" Rocky eximed as he smiled calmly.


    "When did you arrive?" Luci asked with a frown.


    "Just a while ago," Rocky answered as he avoided her eyes.


    "So, did you hear everything?" Luci asked. Her face turned pale.


    Rocky nodded.


    "Who sent you here?" The look on Luci''s face changed. It was a dangerous moment for Rocky as


    she pressed the bamboo leaf harder on his neck.


    "I don''t know what you are talking about," Rocky said as he pretended not to know anything.


    "I don''t believe you! Did you follow me here?" Luci was fearful, and she doubted Rocky.


    "It''s natural for you to suspect me, but I did not intend to spy on you. I wanted to find a quiet ce, so I


    went here. I honestly did not expect to find you here and..." Rocky exined and tried to smile. He did


    not mean to overhear her conversation with Tate and he was now in an awkward position.


    Luci saw that Rocky stayed calm and answered her question sincerely. After a moment of hesitation,


    she put down the bamboo leaf. With a sigh, she said, "I''m sorry. I''m just trying to be careful. I don''t


    know who to trust anymore."


    Rocky understood that Luci was in a tough situation. A fragile girl like her had to assume the


    important role of a chief. Moreover, someone in the Cao n clearly dreamed of being the chief of the


    n. And now, the Qi n had their eyes on the Cao n too. For some reason, the Qi n wanted


    to extinguish the Cao n.


    "It may be ridiculous, but as the chief of the Cao n who has unlimited wealth and power, I''m


    struggling to support the n. The Cao n legacy wille to an end if I do nothing. It is critical that


    the Cao n win the Beast Master Contest. If not, I will  lose my position as the chief," Luci said with


    a defeated smile.


    "If it''s next to impossible, why not let go?" Rocky could not help asking.


    "I can''t." Luci smiled bitterly and shook her head. She could not let the Cao n fall into the wrong


    hands. Their enemies would surely destroy it. She inherited the Cao n from her father, and she had


    sworn to protect its legacy and people.

    "But it''s too dangerous. Your enemies are heartless. What if holding on to the position will only cause


    you and the Cao n more harm?" Rocky had made sense of the situation. Luci was in deep


    trouble. For him, if Luci wanted to help the Cao n get rid of this situation, she must stop being


    stubborn. Winning the Beast Master Contest would not solve all of her problems. For one, it would not


    eliminate her enemies, and it''s one of her most serious problems.


    "What do you mean?" Luci asked. She fixed her eyes on Rocky as she searched for an answer. She


    felt that there was a hidden meaning behind Rocky''s remarks.


    "You are smart enough to figure it out. To survive in such a desperate situation, you cannot just rely on


    good luck. Besides, if someone from the Qi n pushed your father into madness, there should be a


    traitor. Find him. Only then can you reveal the face of your enemies and sort this out." Rocky gave his


    piece of advice then turned away quietly.


    Luci was deep in thought as she listened to Rocky''s words. When she came to her senses, Rocky


    was nowhere to be found.


    "Who is he? Why do I feel that I can trust him?" Luci asked herself, but had no answer.
