The Medallion

"Why did you make trouble again? I've only been gone for a few days, and you couldn't help but misbehave, could you?" Tessa complained as she placed her hands on her hips and glared at Rocky. A few days ago, she had left for Sword Spirit Sect after receiving an urgent summons from the sect. However, when she returned to the city, she heard that Rocky had defeated Cory in the competition. What complicated the matter was that some mysterious woman had injured Cory yesterday, and Tessa was sure that Rocky had something to do with it.

"No, I've been good. I swear!" Rocky blinked as he ardently proclaimed his innocence.

"This guard team comprises of experienced and inexperienced members. It is a place where dragons and fishes jumbled together. As you've been here for a short while, the others might consider you an easy target. Perhaps it's better if you did not stay here. I'll request my father to arrange a leisurely job for you, or if you prefer, you can train Nightshade on a full-time basis for me. Over the past few days, I've noticed that it's been listless on the days that you don't show up, almost as if you are its master," Tessa said, dejection evident in her tone. Not once had she imagined that Nightshade would prefer Rocky over her.

"No, thanks. I believe the guard team is the best place for me at the moment. Please be assured that Captain Ramon takes good care of me." Rocky waved his hand as if to dismiss her offer.

"But..." Tessa started to object. She was worried that the guard team would bully Rocky if he continued to stay.

"I know you care about me, but I can look after myself," Rocky interjected. He needed to settle her worries if he intended to continue as part of the guard team.

"How dare you insinuate that I care about you? What a nerve!" Tessa stared at Rocky, somewhat indignantly. She was horrified that he would make such a suggestion. And yet, her face turned red. During her trip to Sword Spirit Sect, she had thought of Rocky from time to time, which left her quite distressed. Of course, she did not want to believe or accept that she had a crush on Rocky.

And yet, Rocky had unintentionally succeeded in winning another girl's heart with his unique charm!

"By the way, Tessa, is there any spiritual land around the city suitable for cultivation of those at the Spirit Realm?" Rocky asked.

Places with rich spiritual power in the Supreme Ether Land were referred to as spiritual land by the spirit warriors.

"Why do you ask this?" Tessa furrowed her brows in confusion.
