Chapter 968 Leaving Spiritual Pasture Valley


    "Did the altar just self-destruct? Or maybe it finally copsed because of the ancient spiritual beast that


    had been here for all these years." The female voice behind the curtain hesitated for a moment after


    Alyssa spoke, and she sounded a little surprised. She asked hesitantly, "Where is the ancient spiritual


    beast now?"


    "It fell into the abyss together with the altar," Alyssa replied and cast a quick nce at Rocky at the


    same time.


    "Did it?" She sounded even more puzzled. The altar had been there for a long time, and yet nothing


    happened to it. So what prompted its self-destruction so abruptly? It was a question that she could not


    figure out.


    Seeing her confusion, Alyssa nodded her head solemnly. Although she felt sorry for lying to her


    grandma, she had no choice in the matter. She didn''t want to get Rocky involved, so it was worth the


    risk.


    "Then, I will report to the patriarch what I heard from you." The confusion in her voice was gone to


    Alyssa''s relief. It seemed that she trusted Alyssa enough to believe whatever she said. Alyssa was


    both pleased and wracked with guilt.


    "Grandma, do you have any advice for me? What should I do?" Alyssa asked, blinking her beautiful


    eyes innocently.


    "Young man, can you wait outside for a moment?" The voice behind the curtain said to Rocky this time.


    Rocky shrugged his shoulders casually, but he threw a questioning nce at Alyssa. When she


    inclined her head in a subtle nod, he turned around and walked out.


    "My dear, I have checked all the secret manuals of the spiritual race, but I haven''t found any other way


    to remove the curse. I''m afraid that it is the only way..." The voice from behind the curtain trailed off and


    released a sorrowful sigh.


    "Is that the only way?" Alyssa''s eyes darkened. If that was the only way, she would have to make a


    decision soon.


    "My dear, please do what your heart tells you to do. Don''t push yourself too hard. It might not be a good


    thing for you to be a member of the spiritual race. No one can promise you anything!" The voice


    spoke in a soft andforting tone as if it was a mother pacifying her child.


    "Are you saying that I should just live my life as a normal human woman? I don''t think so. You know I


    can''t do that!" Alyssa replied with a bitter smile.


    "It''s hard to say, my dear. Some time ago, you believed that no one in this world can remove the curse


    on you, didn''t you? But do you see what faith had nned for you? You finally found him. What''s more,


    I can see that you care about him very much." The voice behind the curtain seemed to see through


    whatever was happening between Alyssa and Rocky, but of course, Alyssa was deep in denial.


    She snorted and stamped her foot heavily in protest, thankful that the light was dim enough to hide her


    flushed cheeks. "Please, grandma! Who cares about him? Not me!"


    "Whether you care about him or not, you are the one who knows it best. Do not deny your heart, my

    dear. If he is really the one in your destiny, maybe you can give up everything that you care about now,


    all for a beautiful future with him... Who knows! Remember my words. Follow your own heart! But now,


    it is time for you to go back." The voice behind the curtain sounded distant, as it hinted Alyssa to leave.


    It was as if she had turned her attention elsewhere now.


    "Okay. I''m leaving, grandma. I''lle back to see you again when I can." Without saying anything


    more, Alyssa bowed before the curtain respectfully and left.


    After walking out of the tree house, Alyssa was met with the sight of Rocky, who was standing outside


    with his hands behind his back and looking into the distance. It seemed that he was lost in his thoughts.


    "It''s time to go back. Let''s go," Alyssa called out distractedly. The conversation between her and her


    grandma still lingered at the back of her mind. At that moment, her mind was filled with a hailstorm of


    thoughts. She looked down on the ground and took a deep breath.


    "It seems that your grandma didn''t bring you any good news," Rocky remarked when he turned around


    and saw the bitterness on Alyssa''s face.


    She didn''t bother answering. She just looked at him balefully, still hearing her grandma''s voice in her


    head, and called out her spiritual beast. She jumped on its back as soon as it was close enough, while


    Rocky jumped behind her, shaking his head. At that moment, he was puzzled by her foul mood, as he


    thought about how difficult it was to read her moods. He really didn''t know how to get along with this


    woman. She could be smiling one moment and frowning at the next. He could not help but wonder


    what her grandma said to put her into such a tizzy.


    Silent as a grave, the two of them left the Spiritual Pasture Valley riding the spiritual beast.


    Half a dayter, they arrived at the Cao Mansion. Alyssa dropped Rocky at the gate and left without


    speaking a word to him.


    He watched as she disappeared from his sight with a confused frown, for he was still in the dark on


    why she was acting so weird. He shook his head when she disappeared from his sight, shaking away


    the thought of her that lingered in his head. After all, he should not think of it as a big deal. Women


    were sentimental.


    Rocky walked inside to find Luci first, and he immediately found her dealing with the n''s affairs in


    the Magnificent Hall. A brilliant smile lit up her face as soon as she spotted Rocky. With a bit of


    impatience, she nodded at the clerk who was discussing with her, hurriedly dismissing him.


    "You are back! Did everything go well?" Luci asked softly when they were alone. She had risen from


    the chair, and Rocky could not help but watch, as she sashayed toward him. After that night, she had


    figured out how to get along with Rocky. She decided that from that night forward, she would be


    treating Rocky as normally as she could. Thus, she received him naturally when they met again at this


    moment, and she acted as if she was nothing but a youngdy of a big noble family.


    "Everything went well. I guess nothing has happened since I left, right?" Rocky asked, nodding slightly.


    "Yes. It''s very strange. After that day, the Qi n suddenly became quiet, and I haven''t heard any


    movements from them. It was weird." Luci shook her head with a confused expression. She had


    thought that the Qi n wouldn''t give up easily after being humiliated on her birthday, and they would


    surely take revenge. However, they didn''t cause any trouble at all in the past few days that Rocky was


    away. She was afraid that they were just lulling them into a sense of peace, so she could not rx


    "I''m afraid that it''s just the silence before the storm. I think Geoffrey and the Qi n may be plotting


    something big in secret. So, please take more care, Chief Luci. Keep a close eye on them, and don''t


    let them take advantage of loopholes again," Rocky reminded carefully. The truth was that he was


    getting tired of cleaning the Cao n''s mess. Every time he gave them a hand, it would cause a lot of


    trouble for him. There was also the risk of his secret identity being exposed because of them.


    "I will, thank you. But I''m more worried about you, Mr. Rookie. As far as I know, Tate will try everything


    he can to exact his revenge on you. You need to be careful too," Luci said worriedly.


    Rocky snorted dismissively. He didn''t see that guy as a threat to him at all. "I''m waiting for him. Let''s


    see what he can do!"


    Seeing this confused Luci though, for she did not understand where his confidence wasing from.


    She thought that he was still weaker than Tate. If Tate wanted to kill him, he would undoubtedly n it


    well, so shouldn''t he be anxious? Of course, she had no idea that Rocky had be a master of the


    Supernal Stage in the three days that he was away. He was far stronger than Tate now.


    "I think I should send a few masters of our n to protect you, Mr. Rookie. They can guard you against


    any attacks," Luci suggested after thinking for a while.


    "No, thanks. I don''t need any protection, but if you, the Chief of the Cao n, want to protect me in


    person, then I can think about it!" Rocky refused at once, but he also deliberately chose to tease her.


    He knew that Luci couldn''t protect him since she was way too busy.


    "Please stop teasing me! You know I''m too upied with the n affairs, but I do want to protect you


    personally! How about that? I''ll ask my younger sister to stay around you. Then she can learn the


    Beast Curing Skill from you, and protect you at the same time," Luci suggested this time. She


    grumbled a bit at the start because she felt that he was not taking her seriously, but her eyes showed


    that she was eager and sincere.


    "Your younger sister? There is no need for that, I assure you. I can''t afford it! In fact, I think I will be


    safer if she''s not around!" Rocky hurriedly shook his head with a bitter smile.
