The Medallion

"Well, my father would certainly claim so. Ugh, this is really annoying. What about the final result?" Tessa couldn't help but pout as she asked.

"What do you think?" Hannah responded with a meaningful smile.

"I know that you are very eloquent, so I really hope that you have convinced my father," Tessa said with an expectant gaze from her gleeful eyes.

"Ha-ha! Of course, I did. However, he still insists that you participate in the competition for the qualification. And it is a must that you land the top eight position at the least," Hannah replied.

"Top eight? That should be a piece of cake then! Moreover, I think this will also be a good chance to practice my skills," Tessa remarked with a bright smile on her delicate face.

"Oh, one more note. You are not allowed to bring Nightshade in this competition. After all, spiritual beasts are rare, so it would be unfair to the other participants if you did so," Hannah added.

"Well, I don't intend on bringing it anyway. Nightshade still needs more rest," Tessa replied. In fact, she didn't think that it would put her at a disadvantage if she didn't use Nightshade in the competition. She was confident enough to win it with her own strength.

"I'm glad to hear that. So, I think that's all for today. I should take my leave now," Hannah said after a while.

"All right. Come on, let me walk you out," Tessa quickly offered.

"That would be unnecessary. Besides, if Nightshade is almost healed, you shouldn't let anyone outsider enter the Fragrance Pavilion. Otherwise, we don't know what might suddenly happen," Hannah remarked as she cast a subtle glance at Rocky.

"Oh, yeah. You're right..." Tessa just nodded slightly, knowing immediately what Hannah actually meant.

Soon enough, Hannah left the Fragrance Pavilion.

"It seems that she doesn't like me that much. I even thought that she was nice to me the first time we met," Rocky blurted out. Judging from Hannah's attitude just now, he had a bit of a different opinion of her. The first time he encountered her, he thought that she was a kind-hearted woman, but now it seemed that it was only on the surface. There was something that told Rocky that she was pretty scheming.

"Well, she is indeed nice if you get to know her more. Probably since you're an outsider, she is just a bit wary of you. And I have a good hunch that Ramon spoke ill of you in front of her," Tessa said with a mischievous smile.

"I would also assume." Then, Rocky changed the topic and asked, "By the way, I heard the two of you talking about the Martial Spirit Graveyard. What is that place? It sounds very interesting."

one of the forbidden areas that are being guarded by the Sword Spirit Sect. It is said that a long time ago, that place used to be a battlefield where the human race, the spiritual race, and the Shura Race on the Supreme Ether Land fought each other. However, due to an unexpected natural disaster, they were all killed in one swoop. But after these super masters died, they didn't completely vanish. Instead, they were transformed into martial spirits and wandered in that place.
