Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 158 Secret Identity Arouses Curiosity

Seeing that Isis persisted in asking, Marin had no choice but to tell her all the details of what had taken place.

"Are you kidding me?! You really mean to tell me that Rocky, a petty officer, who knows his limited strength, managed to distract the Dark Heaven Insect at the fifth-level of the Earthly Stage all by himself? Is he stupid? How bird-brained! Oh my God!" After listening to the dramatic narration, an odd look crossed Isis's face. She found it difficult to comprehend Rocky's weird behavior.

"But, you still shouldn't have awarded him the first-class military merit, though he has done something great. After all, he is not the one who killed the Dark Heaven Insect. He survived by successfully distracting the insect by chance! " Isis shifted the focus to her concern that the award to Rocky might lead to a flood of first-class merit awards and would make the awards depreciate. "Indeed, I made that hasty award because I thought that he would not survive. To my surprise, he came back safe. I could not figure out how Rocky dodged the attack of the Dark Heaven Insect, and who really killed that monster,” Marin expressed her confusion and helplessness, since she could not revoke Rocky's award. Taking back her decision would prejudice her prestige in the army.

"Marin, according to your description, it is true that this guy is a little strange, but, he should be very smart. Otherwise, he would have been totally obliterated by the Dark Heaven Insect.” Isis seemed to grow more interested in this Rocky. His smarts made her more curious about who he was.

"That guy is not only strange, but also extremely annoying.” Marin recounted Rocky's disrespectful attitude at the camp, seething with anger.

"Dear sister, I've never seen you hate a man so much. You are not yourself when you mention him." Isis was surprised at Marin's intense dislike of Rocky. Isis had grown up with Marin and knew her quite well. Marin was a forthright tomboy who, while being independent, was amiable and seldom disliked anyone with a passion. Marin acted like a flustered lady when talking about Rocky, though seething with anger. Her demeanor made Isis even more curious.

"I just don't like him. Besides, he seems to have a peculiar identity. So, my dear sister, could you please help investigate how Rocky was enlisted to the northeast military camp?" Marin suddenly requested.

If only Rocky knew that Marin was so resolute to investigate his identity, he would have felt worried and rather uncomfortable. After all, his identity could not be exposed easily, or it would bring great chaos and disturbance in the Holy Dragon Empire.

"Expel him from the military camp since you dislike him. Why do you still want to make an investigation? That is an easy solution, right?" Marin's behavior perplexed Isis.

"I..." In fact, Marin was unable to answer Isis's question. The truth was that she was determined to discover Rocky's secrets which he tried to conceal so well.

Well, I'l send someone to check his background right away. If he is an enlisted man, there should be a record in our headquarters!" Isis clapped her hands and soon a pretty servant girl appeared, "Go to the General Affairs Division and check the recruitment records of the northeast military camp to find out the native place and identity of Rocky - a spirit manipulator.”

"Yes, Ma'am." The pretty girl sped away to the Division hastily.

"Thank you, Isis.” Marin nodded.

"It is rare that you show interest in a man, Marin. I ought to do you a favor. I would like to meet this man if possible,” Isis said meaningfully, her eyebrows raised.

"Cousin, what does your favor mean? All what I do is just driven by my suspicions on his identity. A thorough investigation will much relieve my concerns and give me peace of mind. As a commander of the northeast military camp, it is my duty to know more about Rocky since he serves in my army,” Marin explained quickly, catching the hints that Isis was dropping.

"It means nothing special, my dear. But why do you look so nervous if you have no interest?" Marin found no immediate answer for Isis's question.

"Isis, stop playing for fun, or I'll go back to my camp.” Marin replied with embarrassment, visibly uncomfortable.

"Never mind, I was just kidding. How about taking a break to cultivate? We have not cultivated together for a long time!" Isis dragged Marin to the jade bed.

The two women took off their garments, sat opposite each other in a cross-legged meditative position, and stretched their arms to keep their palms touching with each other. The chilly smog from the white jade bed instantly surrounded the two delicate beauties.

After a long time, Isis opened her starry eyes, "My dear cousin, your cultivation is very close to the second level of the Heavenly Stage. Later I will give you a medium-level Dark Heaven Egg. I hope it will help you make a breakthrough.”

"Medium-level Dark Heaven Egg? It's too precious! I can't accept!” Marin was astonished. As a Commander of the northeast military camp, she was entitled to a primary-level Dark Heaven Egg every three months. But, it was much less powerful than the medium-level one, which was considered a rare treasure for a spirit manipulator at the Heavenly Stage. It could help them quickly reach higher stage, and was especially helpful when a manipulator was at the very top of their current stage. The benefit brought by the medium-level Dark Heaven Egg was always beyond expectation. Receiving one as a gift was no small matter. Marin was extremely touched

"Just accept it, my dear cousin!” Isis pretended to be annoyed. Undoubtedly, the rare medium-level Egg sent as a gift without any hesitation showed Isis's deep love for Marin, since it was also very difficult for Isis to get another one.

At the moment of Isis's urging, the pretty girl, who was deployed by Isis to retrieve the details of Rocky from the recruitment record, came back.

"Wait a moment, Marin.” Isis swiftly covered herself with the white light robes, stepped down the jade bed barefooted and went outside to meet the girl.

"Are you sure?" Isis felt quite surprised suddenly when the pretty girl whispered close to her with the result.

"I am certain, Ma'am. I checked the record three times," the girl replied.

"Go take a break then.” Still very bewildered, Isis waved her hand to order the pretty girl to go. Then she went back to the jade bed.

"Isis, what is it?" Marin asked, seeing that Isis looked quite confused.

"Marin, in the recruitment records filed in our headquarter, no details can show that the spirit manipulator Rocky was recruited and allocated to the northeast military camp. That is, Rocky is not among the enlisted men..." Isis answered seriously.

"Really?" Marin was stunned by the astonishing result.

"In the recruitment records for the past several months, there is only one new entry, which has been kept in strict confidentiality. What's even more confusing is that the entry has no details, not even the name. If Rocky is the only spirit manipulator recruited to the northeast military camp within the recent months, obviously the entry of recruitment belongs to him." Isis had never before come across an entry was treated with such strict secrecy. Even her father had no right to access the details of that entry. How strange!

"What?! Do you mean that..." Marin became more bewildered.

"If there is no error in the recruitment record, then the fact should be that Rocky's identity information is deliberately concealed for some reasons. And he must have a special identity or be related to some secrets. He is really peculiar,” Isis said, rubbing her chin with her fingers.

"So, what is his identity? Why could it be hidden? He was never an outstanding manipulator and seems not to be a vicious guy." It was unimaginable for Marin that Rocky, a spirit manipulator who was at best at the second or third level of the Mortal Stage, had a top-secret identity.

"I don't know. I've never noticed that entry before. But, my father may know something about it. I will go ask him. Goodness, cousin. I've joined you in being so curious about him!" A short profound smile of curiosity flashed on Isis's enchanting face. Her curiosity seemed to be incurred by the unexpected mystery arising from the boring military camp.

Listening to Isis, Marin also showed curiosity and astonishment under her attractive appearance.
