That was right!
Dead men told no tales.
Zuo Wentang pondered for a moment. That was the case. The only ones who knew about this were himself, Lin Jin, Qu Wenji, Tilly, and that leopard monster.
He and Lin Jin would never speak of this. As for that leopard monster, he had been scared out of his wits by Lin Jin. As long as the leopard monster wasn't captured, no one would ever find out.
If that happened, the power behind Grace Pavilion would go after Westward Country and Westward Country would definitely investigate the matter. However, they would never be able to trace the matter back to Lin Jin.
"But we still have to be careful. Perhaps there are people like that in this world. But don't worry, Brother Zuo. If something really does happen, I will think of a way to resolve it," Lin Jin said, noticing Zuo Wentang's concern.
Zuo Wentang was stunned. Then, he said in dissatisfaction, "What are you saying? If that day ever comes, I, Zuo Wentang, will never let you shoulder the burden alone. Be it good or bad, be it life or death, I will shoulder it together with you, Brother Lin."
These words were spoken from the bottom of his heart.
Lin Jin didn't ask Zuo Wentang where Qu Wenji and the others were staying, but Zuo Wentang took the initiative to tell him.
This showed how much he trusted Lin Jin now. "Wenji said she's very grateful to you, Brother Lin.
"Wenji said that she's very grateful to Brother Lin. When are you free? She wants to cook for you personally. I'm not praising her, but Wenji's culinary skills are quite amazing. I know that Brother Lin has a good relationship with Chef God Liao, and I've eaten Chef God Liao's dishes before. To be honest, Wenji's culinary skills are naturally inferior to Chef God Liao's, but she still has her own unique points."
Zuo Wentang suddenly said.
Lin Jin nodded.
Since the man had invited him with such sincerity, it wouldn't be appropriate to turn him down. Moreover, Lin Jin wanted to meet Tilly.
Some things had to be prepared for a rainy day.
Westward Country might come looking for trouble in the future. Had it been in the past, Lin Jin would have panicked. But now, he was more experienced. Small countries were no longer a threat to him. Anyone in the Visitation Hall could challenge a small country on their own.
As for intermediate kingdoms, they were a little troublesome in the past. But after the incident with Snake Country, Lin Jin realized that intermediate kingdoms were just so-so.
As long as he was strong enough, he could at least intimidate an intermediate country so that they wouldn't dare to provoke him. Wasn't this how he killed the old dragon in the capital? Under the threat of 'Curator', the emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom could only express goodwill and not offend him.
However, the Grassy Continent's Western Region Kingdom was a top tier country, so this was rather troublesome.
Premium countries were guarded by Rank 5 beasts, and there were usually more than one of them. Lin Jin knew how powerful Rank 5 beasts were. Take the old dragon at Jade Dragon City for example. Although he was also a Rank 5 beast, he had an unmentionable illness that reduced his strength. A true Rank 5 beast was much stronger than the old dragon.
It was also because of this that Lin Jin was able to kill the old dragon and use its blood to condense a Dharma body for Xiao Huo.
Meanwhile, even after attaining the Yin Yang Dharma body, Xiao Huo still didn't evolve into a Rank 5 pet beast. From this, one could tell how powerful a Rank 5 pet beast was.
If Western Region Kingdom came after him and he didn't know anything, he would be at a loss.
Hence, Lin Jin decided to find Tilly to understand the situation.
The meal was a delightful one. After the meal was over, Lin Jin and Zuo Wentang bade farewell at the entrance. One returned to the City Lord Manor while the other returned to the Beast Appraisal Association.
Today was a peaceful day. Lin Jin was appraising beasts seriously. No matter what kind of pet beast it was, he would write the evaluation report seriously without the slightest negligence or half-heartedness.
Relatively speaking, his position as chief was relatively easy.
Of course, it was impossible for the Beast Appraisal Association to not have other matters to attend to. However, Lin Jin wasn't good at this so he left the tedious administrative work to Jia Qian.
After a period of training, Jia Qian's beast appraisal skills had reached the standard of a Rank 1 beast appraiser. Jia Qian had a solid foundation to begin with, and with Lin Jin's guidance, it was only natural for her to improve so quickly.
Among his apprentices, Jia Qian was the only one who was adept at managing the association's affairs. Lin Jin could even tell that she was no less capable than Tan Lin. She was much stronger than Wang Ji.
With this, Lin Jin could save himself a lot of trouble. He could be at ease as a hands-off boss.
Perhaps to Lin Jin, his position as chief was only temporary. To him, this position was only for emergencies and he wouldn't be able to hold it for long.
"Master Lin!"
Just as Lin Jin was tidying up the evaluation reports, Jia Qian came in.
Behind her was the chubby and smiling Dong He, who was still grinning from ear to ear.
Dong He's life hadn't been that great in the past. After Wang Ji was demoted and Tan Lin took over, Dong He's days of hardship began. Although he lost his position as the logistics department's manager and went to the front lines to perform beast appraisals, Dong He's meager skills were still insufficient. First, he steamed a rich kid's pet beast, a crab. Then, he embarrassed himself when the Grassy Continent Chamber of Commerce came to visit. He couldn't even sit there as a doctor anymore.
Later on, Dong He returned to the logistics department. However, he lost his position as a manager and could only serve as an errand boy. His days were miserable.
However, it was also because of this that Dong He's temperament had been tempered. Coupled with the strict discipline from his sister and brother-in-law, Dong He had also devoted himself to learning. Compared to before, Dong He had changed a lot.
"Master Lin, the logistics department has sent over the corresponding quota for this month. It includes pills, spirit stones, and beast appraisal talismans," Jia Qian said respectfully. Jia Qian said respectfully. Behind her, Dong He hurried forward, carrying a big box. Clearly, these things were all inside.
In the past, Lin Jin would have needed these items. But now, whether it was beast appraising or treating, he rarely had to use them.
But since he had them, why wouldn't he?
Moreover, even if Lin Jin didn't need them here at the association, he would still need them when he got back. After all, he still had Zombie Cthulhu at home.
"Put it aside," Lin Jin suddenly said.
Dong He immediately hurried over and carefully placed the box on the table. Then, he stood aside respectfully.
Lin Jin recognized him. Back then, Dong He had made things difficult for Lin Jin many times. Fortunately, Lin Jin didn't hold a grudge against him. Moreover, those incidents weren't that big of a deal.
"Put it down and leave," Jia Qian said to Dong He. Jia Qian said to Dong He. However, the latter hesitated for a moment and didn't move. Instead, he mustered up his courage and knelt before Lin Jin.
"Chief Lin, please be magnanimous and spare me this once. I really can't take it anymore," Dong He said as he kowtowed.
Lin Jin was dumbfounded while Jia Qian jumped in fright.
"Dong He, what the hell are you doing?" Jia Qian was aware of Dong He's previous actions. She frowned and was about to step forward when Lin Jin waved his hand. "Let him explain."
