The Medallion

Rocky knew that the old witch was far stronger than him, so the only way that he could win in the situation was by tricking her.

"Madam, although I'm not your lover, I actually know where he is!" he lied convincingly with a friendly smile.

"You do?" asked the old witch in a hoarse, shaky voice.

"Of course! In fact, he asked me to come and get you. That's why he disguised me like this so that I could lure you out," Rocky added, nodding sincerely.

"Then, tell me! Where is he?!" the old witch asked Rocky eagerly.

"He is staying with the Di Clan!" Rocky randomly guessed and figured that he could mention the Di Clan just to try his luck.

"You mean he is still in the Di Clan? If it weren't for that hateful clan's interference, I wouldn't have ended up like this. All the members of the Di Clan deserve to die!" the old witch growled with a ferocious look.

Rocky maintained the blank expression on his face, but he was really surprised to hear that the old witch's lover was a member of the Di Clan. It seemed like he had a lucky guess.

He started connecting the dots at the back of his mind, and a thought suddenly took hold of him. He immediately asked, "By any chance, madam, did you steal a treasure called the 'Army-blessing Scroll' from the Di Clan that year?"

"That's right. They refused to let me be with the man I love, so I stole their most valuable treasures to get back at them. However, I didn't expect that they would relentlessly chase after me, and even forced me to hide in the Sky-suppressing School, which made offended the members of the said school. That is all the Di Clan's fault! Once I get out of here, I will kill them all!" The old witch was enraged. It was evident that she had maintained a deep grudge against the Di clan after all the years.

"Well, that's why I'm here. I'm going to help you get out of here," Rocky assured her.
