Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 758 Not A Nobody

"Actually..." Aware that Juey misunderstood him, Rocky wanted to explain his side further. However, Juey had already grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the interview area.

"Miss Juey, you misunderstood me. I don't want to...” Rocky was amused. Juey was too excited to let him finish what he wanted to say.

When the disciples that were tasked to keep the order for the Xiao Clan saw Juey, they made way for her. Rocky did not have the chance to finish his words. She dragged him into the interview area as the surrounding people fixed their eyes on them, including Mary and several beast curers. Almost everyone in the crowd knew Juey. They whispered among themselves and speculated about the identity of Rocky and why he seemed to be so intimate with Juey. Their being together made most of the people jealous.

Mary also became upset when she saw that Juey's body was just an inch away from Rocky. She immediately walked towards them and scolded her sister, "What are you doing, Juey? How can you behave like this in front of all these people? Do you want them to gossip about you?"

"Fine." Juey let go of Rocky.

Mary then looked at Rocky with anger in her eyes. As she stared at him, she realized he looked familiar. She thought carefully and asked, "Are you the one working at the beast farm?"

"You still remember me?" Rocky replied with a sheepish smile.

"Mary, he wants to take part in the interview. Can you include him?" Juey asked.

"Him? He is not even a spirit manipulator. He is not eligible for the interview,” Mary answered without batting an eyelash.

"We accepted an apprentice who was not a spirit manipulator before. He could learn the cultivation method once he joined our clan,” Juey argued. She knew that if Rocky was talented enough, he could enroll and learn the skill from scratch even if he was not a spirit manipulator.

"Stop it! If father finds out, he will reprimand you." Mary frowned as if disgusted with Juey's unreasonable request.

"Father is not here, and he doesn't have to know. I think he is talented. Just let him have a try. You can always dismiss him if he performs poorly.” Juey took another shot in defending Rocky. She had seen him tame the baby Magic Sword Panther the previous night, and she had a strong feeling that he was talented.

"Miss Juey, please don't bother. I don't intend to take part in the interview,” Rocky explained. "Good! At least you know where you stand. Now, go back to work!" Mary ordered and glanced at Rocky from head to foot. Clearly, she disapproved of him.

Rocky did not want to argue with her and was about to leave, but Mary was not finished yet. She shouted, "You are a nobody. Don't chase Juey. Just leave her alone. A crow can never become a phoenix. So is a poor man like you.”

"Mary! How can you say that? He never chased me. This is embarrassing!" Juey exclaimed.

"You don't know this man. People like him look honest, but who knows what he is up to. You are too naive. Stay away from him, understand?” Mary said. Her voice was stern, and an unexplained anger filled her eyes.

Rocky did not want to cause trouble, but Mary's remarks triggered him. His eyes turned cold, and his expression changed. Mary's insult was uncalled for and it provoked him. He was not the kind of person who took abuse and insult lightly.

He smiled at Mary, but his eyes burned with anger. Mary met Rocky's gaze, and it frightened her. She felt something in him changed and turned him into a different person. She was about to say something but changed her mind out of fear.

"Miss Mary, it's obvious that you dislike me. Since you look poorly on me and my abilities, I will do my best to make you change your opinion. I hope that you will allow me to take part in the interview.” Rocky was good at reciprocating evil deeds. He wanted to return the abuse and made Mary regret her words.

"Rookie, she did not mean it!" Juey shouted in panic. Rocky and Mary were now at odds with each other, and it was all her fault. She did not expect Mary would despise Rocky like this.

"I meant every word," Mary said coldly. With a sneer, she asked, "You want me to change my opinion of you? You're really dumb and thickheaded. That is not possible, but in the spirit of fairness, I will give you a chance. If you pass the interview, I will make you a disciple of the Xiao Clan. If you fail, you must leave our place right away.”

It was an opportunity for Mary to kick Rocky out of the Xiao Clan. She could ask him to leave directly, but this was not a decent way to do it. She had to take into account the Xiao Clan's reputation.

"Mary..." Juey was about to say something, but Rocky spoke, "Okay, I hope you know how to keep a promise. There are several witnesses here.”

Mary looked around and saw that the people had whispered among themselves. She felt disgraced arguing with a servant like this. It was not her style, and she felt embarrassed. However, Rocky's presence was disturbing. She felt uncomfortable at the very sight of him. She really wanted to get him out of her sight for good.

She then turned around and went back to her seat. She asked the other interviewees to leave, and before long the interview area was empty.

"It's all my fault. I forced you to come here, and now Mary is pissed off with you. I don't know how to fix this. She will definitely find fault with you." Juey blamed herself. She knew Mary would send Rocky packing if he failed the interview.

To her surprise, Rocky smiled and walked towards the interview area.

The surrounding people fixed their eyes on Rocky, expecting him to fail. Obviously, it was part of Mary's plan to embarrass him and make him the laughingstock of everyone.
