The Medallion

Chapter 1046 The Beautiful Instructor

The moment Sabina saw Rocky's face, she could not help but tremble in a mix of emotions. She tried to hide it, but one could see her cold eyes suddenly melt. Her once dismal aura immediately became relieved, and her eyes started to well with tears.

Not long after Rocky came back to the Holy Dragon Empire, Sabina learned from Marcia that Rocky was still alive. However, Sabina had not had the chance to see him because, at that moment, he had gone to the Myriad Beasts Ground. With that being said, she had to wait for more than half a year, which was quite a lot of suffering for her.

Now that he was standing in front of her, her lips didn't know what to say. Her heart wanted to spew out a myriad of words, but nothing seemed to come out. But to her, nothing was more important than seeing him in the flesh, alive and breathing.

At that moment, she tried her best to contain her overflowing joy and excitement and managed to keep people from seeing it on her face. But actions spoke louder than words. All she could do was shed a joyful tear.

In fact, she even surprised herself with her own reaction. Hurriedly, she wiped the corner of her eye so that Rocky wouldn't see her in such state.

"Hey, what's wrong? I can't believe that you're so happy to see me that you even cried!" Rocky teased.

"Oh, don't flatter yourself. There's a bug in my eye! And, I am not that happy to see you," Sabina retorted, but obviously against what she was feeling.

"Oh, really?" Rocky said, pretending to be apologetic.

After regaining her composure, Sabina turned around and asked Rocky, "What suddenly brings you to the Ji Mansion? Didn't my master say that you'd better not show up before everything is ready?"

"But she asked me to come. In fact, she said that everything was ready. And besides, she asked me to help you, because your clan is going to be in very big trouble soon," Rocky said with a frown.

"Wait, trouble? What kind of trouble are we talking about?" Sabina asked right away.

"Didn't your sister return to the Ji Mansion a year ago? She hasn't returned to the Palace City yet, right?" Rocky inquired.

"Yes, you're right. She hasn't returned to the Palace City yet," Sabina replied.

"She is the empress, but she hasn't come back to the Palace City for over a year. Don't you think that something else is going on? According to General Marcia, the royal family members have some doubts about Alston recently, and they also made a fuss about your sister's matter. Knowing Alston, he would not let the matter go on like this. He will send people to pick up your sister tomorrow to dispel the doubts. Of course, what matters most is that if your sister is taken back to the Palace City, Alston may have control over the Ji Clan. Therefore, we can't let Alston's people take your sister back to the Palace City," Rocky said in a very serious tone.

"In that case, then I will do whatever it takes to not let her go back to the Palace City again." Sabina wouldn't just let her sister jump into the abyss of suffering, nor would she let Alston control the Ji Clan.

"But we have a problem. From your clan's current position, your clan can't reject his people directly," Rocky added.

Sabina frowned slightly upon hearing the complexity of the problem. In fact, Alston had tirelessly tried his best to win over the Ji Clan in the past six months. However, the Ji Clan had always maintained a neutral attitude, and Alston wasn't able to do anything about it. Needless to say, Alston wanted to take this opportunity to win over the Ji Clan to his side. More importantly, it was Sabina's father's seventieth birthday tomorrow. If Alston sent people here, then the Ji Clan would not be able to shut them out in public. On the other hand, if the Ji Clan didn't shut them out, it would definitely fall into a dilemma.

In all fairness, Alston's plan was crafted to perfection, as it saw through every tiny detail of their plan. Moreover, he picked the right timing to execute his plan!

"So, she thought it's not possible to destroy Alston's plan without me. That's the reason she asked me to come here," Rocky said with a confident smile on his face.

"Well, does she want you to reveal your identity on my father's birthday party?" Sabina asked skeptically. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

"No. In fact, she asked me to destroy Alston's plan without exposing who I really am." Rocky shook his head and continued, "Even if I expose myself now, I still think that no one will easily believe it. On the contrary, it may alert my enemy. Plus, there are many ways to destroy his plan. Anyway, you don't have to get involved in this mess. I just want you to know what's going to happen."

"Oh, I see. Then I'll leave it to you. You have my support and confidence." Sabina nodded to Rocky immediately. It seemed whether the Ji Clan could escape from Alston's control depended on Rocky's success in this mission.

The next day was already Elvis' seventieth birthday. Compared with yesterday, there were naturally more people coming to the mansion to celebrate his birthday. All famous big figures in the Holy Dragon Empire were present, including the chiefs or elders of several big clans except Bryant, peerless masters above the Divine Stage, military officials of the Holy Dragon Empire, and some royal members.

However, one of them was particularly eye-catching and a head-turner. Perhaps, this was partly because of her stunning beauty, and partly because of who she was.

"Chief Elvis, my grandfather asked me to bring some gifts for you. Please, take them." Under the watchful eyes of the public, the woman walked gracefully to Elvis and presented the birthday gifts, which she claimed were from her grandfather.

"Why, thank you for these beautiful gifts, Miss Mia. Tell me, how's your grandfather doing these days?" Elvis asked kindly as soon as he saw the woman.

If Rocky were here, then surely, he would be surprised to see this woman. She was Mia, the beautiful instructor who was responsible for guiding and training him when he just became a royal spirit manipulator.

After training the royal spirit manipulators in Rocky's class, she resigned from her position and returned to her clan due to her grandfather's poor health. She belonged to the Lan Clan, one of the big clans in the Holy Dragon Empire. Compared with the Ji Clan, the Lan Clan was not famous for the training of spirit manipulators. The reason why the Lan Clan could become one of the big clans was because of its unparalleled economic strength. Moreover, the business of the Lan Clan spread throughout the entire Wild Spirit Land, and they monopolized several main industries of the Holy Dragon Empire. Any move of the Lan Clan could have a great impact on the Holy Dragon Empire's economy.

And now, Mia was a master at the Supernal Stage. In fact, this was celebrated because it was rare in the Holy Dragon Empire that one had such strength under thirty.

For generations, the Ji Clan and the Lan Clan had been on good terms as allies. In fact, Elvis and Mia's grandfather were also close friends. Back in Mia's childhood, she often came to the Ji Mansion that Elvis treated her as his niece.

"He is fine. He can't drink because of his illness. But you know him; he always wants to drink! Before I even left, he told me to drink more for him," Mia replied with a faint smile.
