The Sky Prison was dark and filled with despair. Most people here would find it hard to get out. After all, this was a place where criminals were locked up so the place had a murderous aura to it.
This wasn't a place to chat but today, with He Qian outside and Lu Bin inside, they actually started chatting.
Lu Bin had no idea why Emperor He Qian was suddenly interested in Lin Jin but since the man wanted to listen, Lu Bin would tell him about it.
Although He Qian didn't elaborate, the sixth princess was clearly still alive. Perhaps it was because of the golden needle Lin Jin gave him.
However, Lu Bin definitely wouldn't say anything about the needle. As for the rest, he could talk about it.
"Hehehehe, that's strange. To think that the emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom would be interested in a mere beast appraiser. Alright, what would you like to hear, Your Majesty?" Lu Bin asked.
He Qian wasn't annoyed by Lu Bin's attitude. After a moment of thought, he said, "Let's start from when you first met Appraiser Lin, General Lu."
Lu Bin nodded. "Previously, the sixth princess was tormented by a bestial soul curse. She was also in a bad mood so I used the excuse of taking her out for a walk as an excuse to disguise myself and search for a famous doctor."
He Qian nodded. He was aware of this and had even tacitly agreed to it. Otherwise, why would Lu Bin bring the sixth princess out?
"Later on, we arrived at Maple City. We heard that there was a master among the common folk so we wanted to seek a diagnosis. However, we couldn't find him. Coincidentally, we were passing by Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association so we went in for a look. It was then that we met Appraiser Lin for the first time …"
Lu Bin then recounted the incident.
He Qian listened attentively.
When he heard that Lin Jin was able to identify the bestial soul curse in He Yu without any diagnosis, He Qian immediately asked, "General Lu, are you sure that Lin Jin didn't treat her?"
Lu Bin shook his head. "I saw everything. He didn't. It was just that when the sixth princess almost fell, Appraiser Lin was the one who helped her up."
"Oh!" He Qian thought to himself. If it was just by observing the man's complexion, he must be an expert. But if he was, why would he be unknown in a beast appraiser's branch?
"After that, we didn't think much of it and went to visit that so-called Master Liao, only to find out that he was a scammer. At the time, the Sixth Princess was in a bad mood and I accidentally mentioned that Appraiser Lin had seen through the curse in her body. I thought that the Sixth Princess had told him about it but when I realized that wasn't the case, I realized that we had met an expert. However, Your Majesty, you summoned us back urgently so we put this matter aside."
At this moment, Lu Bin's face was filled with regret.
If he had gone to Lin Jin earlier, the situation might have been resolved by now.
"Later on, Sixth Princess' condition worsened so I went to Maple City to look for Lin Jin. I asked for an ancient prescription for the nine water floating cloud pill."
"I also know about this matter. This pill formula should have been lost a long time ago."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too. I came back with the intention of giving it a try, and it turned out to be really useful." Lu Bin looked fearful. If he hadn't gone to Lin Jin back then, there would be no hope left.
"The nine water floating cloud pill is indeed effective. While it can't remove the curse, it can greatly reduce the Sixth Princess' pain."
Even He Qian nodded. "I have to thank Appraiser Lin for this as well."
Lu Bin sneered. "I think you're eager for him to die, aren't you? On the first night Lin Jin arrived at the royal capital, he was assassinated and almost lost his life. Your Majesty, don't tell me you don't know about this. "
He Qian's expression remained unchanged as he said calmly, "Indeed, this has nothing to do with me. General Lu, if I wanted Lin Jin dead, do you think he would still be alive?"
Lu Bin was stunned. He believed He Qian.
"Alright, even if it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, there's no way you wouldn't know about it."
"Let's not talk about this for now." He Qian waved his hand. "Lin Jin is still young. No matter how talented he is, he can't possibly be so knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I heard that he has a mysterious expert backing him up."
Appraiser Lin is the disciple of a mysterious expert. Snake Country's crisis was resolved by this expert so if Your Majesty knows who is behind Lin Jin's assassination, please advise them to stop them from bringing trouble upon themselves. "Lu Bin laughed heartily, taking pleasure in Lin Jin's misfortune.
"Does this mysterious expert have a name?" He Qian asked in a low voice.
"I don't know his name. I only know that everyone calls him Curator." After some thought, Lu Bin decided to reveal the truth.
In this situation, he had to protect Lin Jin so he mentioned Lin Jin's background and had He Qian investigate it. Lu Bin was sure that Curator was no ordinary person. Perhaps if He Qian found out something, He Qian wouldn't dare to act recklessly.
"Curator?" He Qian repeated. Among all the experts he knew of, there was no such person.
However, it was obviously just a title and not a real name.
He Qian was deep in thought while Lu Bin didn't speak. For a moment, silence descended.
After a long while, He Qian got up, seemingly ready to leave. Lu Bin was stunned before he quickly asked, "Your Majesty, are you leaving? What about Sixth Princess? What do you plan to do? She's your daughter, the valley master's only child. You must protect her no matter what. "
He Qian stopped with his back facing the cell.
"General Lu, have you met that Curator?" He Qian suddenly asked.
Lu Bin shook his head. "I haven't, but Ye Yuzhou of Maple City has!"
At the same time, Lu Bin thought to himself that He Qing had met Seventh Princess too. But he wouldn't tell He Qian about this.
He Qian nodded and walked out. At the same time, he spoke.
"General Lu, stay here for the next few days. Perhaps things will turn for the better for Yu 'er."
Lu Bin's heart skipped a beat. He wanted to ask further but He Qian was already gone.
He left.
…
Nightfall.
Lin Jin was waiting at He Qian's residence.
Tonight was the opening day of the Visitation Hall but it wasn't time yet. According to usual practice, there was at least an hour left.
"Xiao Huo, White Ape, stay here for now. If you encounter a strong enemy, don't get entangled and leave," Lin Jin instructed.
Two nights ago, someone had come looking for trouble so they had to be on guard.
However, Lin Jin wasn't afraid. The other party had failed twice so what could they possibly do today?
Looking at the sky, it was pitch-black. The moon and stars couldn't be seen. Dark clouds had been hanging over the sky since evening but there was no rain. This weather was clearly not a good omen.
Moreover, Lin Jin's heart was pounding. His five senses were far sharper than the average person's. Although he had chosen a rather secluded place, there were still people living nearby. Usually, he would hear some noises around this time. It could be people talking or cooking. But today, there was no sound at all. It was eerily quiet.
'Something's not right! '
Lin Jin felt a sense of danger rising within him.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
