The Medallion

"Of course, but we must keep it a secret!" Rocky said, pretending to be serious.

"Sure, I'll ask for the young master's permission first and then I'll cooperate with you. Let's catch those retched traitors in the Sky-suppressing Mansion. By the way, do you have a place to stay here?" Ishaan suddenly asked.

"I'm afraid I have none since we just arrived here," Rocky answered and shook his head.

"If you don't mind, I have spare rooms for distinguished guests in my Spiritual Beast Palace. Why don't you rest there? I'll report everything to the young master as soon as I finish arranging everything here," Ishaan said sincerely.

"We would love to. Thank you for your kind offer!" Rocky thanked him as he saluted politely.

Ishaan then ordered someone to take Rocky and Shirley to their rooms in the palace.

As soon as they entered the room, Shirley quickly closed the door and whispered, "Why did you tell Ishaan directly that we're looking for traitors? Aren't you afraid of alerting him?"

"Don't worry. I'm almost certain that he's one of the traitors, but I reckon there's someone in the shadows controlling his every move. The reason I told Ishaan about our mission was to flush out the man in charge," Rocky explained to her.

"And if there really is someone lurking in the shadows, aren't you afraid that they'll hurt us?" Shirley asked in a stern tone. She thought that Rocky had put their lives in danger, but she also knew this was the most effective way to get what they wanted. After all, Ishaan was a cunning old fox. If they investigated him in secret, they might end up empty-handed.

"Offending the Sky-suppressing Mansion is nothing serious," Rocky said and smiled calmly.

"Humph! That's easy for you to say. If we anger them, we might get banned from entering Ethereal Region..." Shirley disagreed immediately, pouring cold water on his reckless idea.

"If that happens, then we'll finally have the chance to take refuge in Alyssa together!" he answered back with a wide grin etched on his face.

Shirley couldn't help but roll her eyes at him upon hearing this.
