Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 763 Stir Up Trouble

After class, Harry asked someone to lead the disciples of the Xiao Clan to the pharmacy where they were going to learn how to identify medicinal flowers and herbs under the guidance of a beast curer from their clan.

Rocky's face was blank as he joined the tail end of the group. 'If I had known this, I shouldn't have gone to the disciples recruitment interview yesterday; I'd much rather be with the lonely beasts in the beast farm!" he thought.

At this moment, a figure approached Rocky. Rocky turned his head and recognized him—Jonas.

"I don't even know your name. Would you at least tell me that first?" Jonas asked with a smile.

"You can call me Rookie,” Rocky replied with one eyebrow arched. "Alright then, Rookie. By the way..." Jonas started but did not continue. He looked flushed as if he was embarrassed of whatever he was about to say.

He was visibly hesitant.

"Just say it. Suppressing your feelings will do you no good," Rocky remarked as he noticed Jonas’ expression.

"I just wanted to ask how you were able to catch everything Master Harry told us during class. I barely remember half of it. Then I realized you were practically asleep during half the class,” Jonas replied with a slight chuckle.

"Maybe I'm just a bit cleverer than you." Rocky, of course, was being falsely modest. He knew he was more than a bit cleverer than Jonas. He was a gifted man with an extremely retentive memory. "Could you please share what you learned from Master Harry with me when you're free? I could really use some help so I can understand it better," Jonas begged with a hopeful expression.

"You seem like a diligent man,” Rocky commented as he flashed Jonas a quick look.

"To be honest, I had worked for a whole year before I finally became a member of the Xiao Clan last month. I was orphaned at a young age. My sister and I grew up with our grandpa. Our life wasn't easy and it's just getting harder. My grandpa is old and my sister is young. They only have me to rely on. I work so hard each day so they could live a good life." Jonas started to tear up. It was obvious that his life hadn't been easy.

Rocky reached out to pat his back. "There, there. Don't cry. You're a strong man," he said. "Just come with me to the beast farm in the afternoon.” Rocky saw Jonas’ sincerity and it made him go soft in him.

"Really? Thank you so much, Rookie." Jonas smiled as he wiped his tears.

The morning classes finally ended. Rocky stifled a yawn. That felt like an entire year for him. Xiao Clan disciples had classes to attend in the morning and assigned work to accomplish in the afternoon. Rocky was a servant in the beast farm; he could just go to the beast farm after the classes as he had no other obligations.

Supposedly, as soon as he became a Xiao Clan disciple, he wouldn't be obliged to do chores in the beast farm. Obviously, that did not happen. Rocky figured that Mary was behind it. She probably found a way to make sure he still suffered in the beast farm and continued working as an inferior. But she didn't know that that was exactly what Rocky wanted. He wanted a reason to stay long hours in the beast farm so he could study various spirit-manipulated beasts. If he was transferred elsewhere, he wouldn't be able to conduct extensive research.

What Rocky absolutely hated was the fact that he still had to go to classes every day for at least half a month. The classes were too simple for him. He felt like he was wasting his time. Rocky proceeded to the beast farm with Jonas. "I didn't know you work in the beast farm. I am so envious of you.

You get to see and interact with so many spirit-manipulated beasts each day!" exclaimed Jonas. The only time he'd been to the beast farm, he had to quickly leave. So he took in the scene as if it was his first visit ever.

He looked around with great interest.

"Why? I do chores all day," Rocky retorted. "If you need help in the future, just tell me. I'd be more than happy to help you.

I want to be able to pay you back for all your help as well," Jonas said sincerely.

"Wait, don't you have assigned work to do in the afternoon?” asked Rocky. Every disciple of the Xiao Clan had their own assigned job.

"Yes, I do. But I only need to work once every two days. I have plenty of free time," Jonas explained. "Really? That's great. Alright, if I need your help, I might actually take you up on that offer.” Rocky smiled. He rarely encountered such a helpful person.

And he wasn't in the position to refuse help.

"Sure." Jonas nodded.

"I'll make sure you learn something from me. I'd be more than happy to teach you. If you have any questions regarding our classes, you can ask me for help," Rocky promised.

"Thank you so much, Rookie. You saved my life." Jonas fought the urge to hug Rocky.

"Well, please help me clean these beast stables first,” Rocky said gesturing to the stables behind them. "I have something to deal with now. I'll be back and I'll teach you what Master Harry taught us this morning." Rocky turned to leave the beast farm.

He was about to leave the Magical Beast House to prepare for his research. His laboratory supplies were almost used up. He had to stock up on supplies or else his research might be delayed. Unfortunately, he did not have any money with him at that moment. He had to sell a few items and some rare objects of the spirit-manipulated beasts that he had collected in the desert. He didn't want to have to sell any of the materials in the Magical Beast House. Those were rare and were at least at three-star level. He didn't want anyone there to become suspicious of him.

Rocky entered the main hall of the Magical Beast House. As he was about to get out of the gate, he heard a commotion on the third floor. "Hurry up!" a staff member shouted while running down "Call Butler Willie over. Something bad happened.”

"What is it? Don't make us nervous!" Willie appeared in the hall looking greatly displeased about being disturbed.

That staff member walked up to him and whispered something to him.

"What? How could that happen?" A shadow dawned on Willie's face. He followed the staff member and they walked toward the stairs.

“Looks like something bad just happened, ' Rocky thought to himself. He figured that something was up in the auction hall on the third floor.

Rocky tried not to be bothered too much for he didn't want to waste his time. As he was about to leave, he heard someone shout, "Everyone, listen! The pill from the Magical Beast House poisoned my spirit-manipulated beast to death!"
