The Medallion

'All right. It's almost time to leave. I will head to the Fragrance Pavilion first to check on Nightshade, and then I'll go straight to the training ground for my morning training,' Rocky thought to himself. Although he didn't even get a moment to sleep, he was still full of energy. After he packed his things, he left his Magic Spiritual Space and returned to the beast farm before going to the Fragrance Pavilion.

Upon arriving at the pavilion, he immediately saw a young man dressed in luxurious clothes and was accompanied by a few servants who should be at the fifth grade of the Spirit Realm at most.

"Hey, who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that this place is off-limits to outsiders like you?" the man wearing elegant clothes asked as he stared at Rocky with a piercing gaze.

"Oh, I am..." Recognizing the man's unfriendly look, Rocky knew that this person must have come from some powerful background. Moreover, it appeared that he had also reached the seventh grade of the Spirit Realm.

But right before Rocky could finish answering the man's question, Tessa suddenly appeared and interrupted them. "He's here to take care of Nightshade for me. He is a beast curer," she answered in a cold and unwelcoming tone. It was obvious that she was not in the mood to see this man.

"What? How could you let a stranger enter the Fragrance Pavilion so freely? You should learn to be a bit more careful," the man remarked as he wore a dissatisfied expression on his face.

"Why do you care? Choosing whom I let inside the pavilion is my prerogative. Do I need to remind you that it's none of your business?" Tessa retorted haughtily.

"You're still as willful as ever. By the way, I heard from my cousin that she has made some arrangements for you to enter the Martial Spirit Graveyard. Good for you. That way, we can enter the graveyard together. I will help you refine a marital spirit in order to break through to the King Realm. How about that?" the man asked, changing the topic of the conversation.

"No, thanks. I don't want to bother you. After all, I reckon that the nephew of the sect leader should always be pretty busy," Tessa sneered as a look of repugnance became visible on her face. Although this man was actually the nephew of the leader of the Sword Spirit Sect, she did not have a very good impression of him. In fact, it would be an understatement to say that she disliked him.

The well-dressed man's name was Miguel Qiu. Although he was just the nephew of the sect leader, his uncle regarded him highly; thus, he was already accepted as an inner disciple by the Sword Spirit Sect. In the Sword Spirit City, only disciples that possessed outstanding talents could have the chance to become inner disciples. Once they achieved this status, they were reassured of a bright future.

"Tessa, how could you say that?! We are already engaged, and it wouldn't be that long before we get married. You should learn to treat me properly and we should get along well. You can't always be so unruly towards me," Miguel Qiu remarked sternly.

"Huh? My father agreed to that marriage without my consent. Why would I approve of something like that? If there is nothing else that you need to discuss with me, you may now leave!" Tessa ordered with an unyielding attitude.

Miguel Qiu gritted his teeth and shook his head helplessly. Obviously, it wasn't the first time that he had been driven away like
