Senior Mo grumbled, "There are so many and you can't even pick one? Hmph, what a waste of time. I'll get another batch but hurry up and don't disturb my sleep. "
Reluctantly, he switched to another batch of jade dragons.
This time, there were only seven or eight of them and they came in all shapes and sizes. Some of them didn't look like dragons but rather ugly lizards.
Lin Jin glanced at them and shook his head.
It seemed like Senior Mo was determined to piss He Qian off.
Both sides hadn't completely fallen out yet nor would they engage in actual conflict, but there would be plenty of underhanded tricks. Moreover, to Lin Jin, Senior Mo was an idiot. His provocation must have something to do with the death of the jade dragon deity. But since the deity was already dead, was there a need to do this?
Life had to go on.
If He Qian were to get angry, wouldn't they be the ones to suffer if he added some 'stuff' to their offerings? 'Why can't you think straight? '
Unfortunately, there were some stupid dragons who couldn't be persuaded.
He Yu and Lin Jin's eyes met and she immediately understood what he meant. She could only say again, "Senior Mo, please switch to another batch!"
Senior Mo was already impatient. He had purposely chosen some of the weaker members of the jade dragon tribe to make up the numbers. No matter which one he chose, they would all be trash. And if he didn't choose and insisted on switching, Senior Mo could use this opportunity to make things difficult for him.
"We've already switched to another batch. Your family didn't go through this much trouble in the past. Could it be that you're deliberately making things difficult for us because of the death of the dragon deity?" Senior Mo began using this as a pretext.
Senior Mo clearly knew a little about the death of the jade dragon deity. He knew how the jade dragon deity managed to extend his life.
Both sides had a tacit understanding about this, but it wasn't certain if they would swallow this insult so easily.
He Qian scoffed. "There's no limit to the number of times a dragon can be chosen. Senior Mo, what are you trying to achieve by making things difficult for us time and time again?"
"You say I'm making things difficult? Hmph, if you're so capable, go down to the dragon cave and look for them yourselves. I won't stop you no matter who you choose. But do you dare? "Senior Mo sneered.
He Qian frowned.
He mused that Senior Mo was purposely digging a trap for him. Ever since the Jade Dragon Kingdom's founding ancestors signed a contract with the jade dragon clan, they were to make their choice at the platform. They had never entered the dragon cave before.
That was why it was said that what was below was an unknown territory. Without a doubt, there was definitely danger. At that time, even if he was tricked, he could only suffer in silence.
Moreover, it would be even more dangerous to let He Yu choose the dragon. If something went wrong, He Qian would regret it.
"Master Mo, are you determined to make things difficult for us?" He Qian's tone was thick with threat. Who would've thought that Senior Mo would be so stubborn as well? With a similarly eerie smile, he said, "You can either choose from here, or go down and choose yourselves. It's up to you. In any case, we didn't violate the contract."
He Qian glared and was about to explode when he heard someone say, "Then let's go down and choose."
He Qian stopped talking.
Because he could tell that the one who spoke was Lin Jin.
He Qian could ignore anyone else, but Lin Jin was someone He Qian valued greatly.
"Appraiser Lin!" He Qian turned to look at Lin Jin. Lin Jin gave him a reassuring look before taking a step forward to stand beside He Yu.
Senior Mo turned to Lin Jin and asked coldly, "Who are you? What does this have to do with you? If you're not from the He clan, stay out of our business. "
In other words, this was a matter between the jade dragon clan and the He clan. Outsiders shouldn't interfere.
"I'm the sixth princess, He Yu's teacher. There's a saying that a teacher is also a father. As her teacher, it's only right for me to interfere," Lin Jin said matter-of-factly.
Senior Mo didn't know Lin Jin's background so after hearing his words, he couldn't think of a rebuttal.
Lin Jin didn't give the old dragon time to think. Instead, he reached out and said to He Yu, "Come!"
At this, He Yu grabbed Lin Jin's arm without hesitation.
When Lin Jin mentioned that he was her teacher, He Yu had a strange feeling. She was touched and happy. Her feelings were complicated. But now, she didn't hesitate at all. Lin Jin gave her the feeling that he was absolutely trustworthy. Lin Jin then brought her to the edge of the cliff. Below them was a pitch-black abyss that seemed bottomless. Standing at the edge was a terrifying feeling.
Behind them, some were confused while others were looking forward to it. Then, Lin Jin said, "Cloud, come!"
Then, he stepped forward into the abyss.
The two princes were startled. There was a bottomless cliff ahead. Wasn't walking over suicidal?
He Yu was startled as well. But holding onto Lin Jin's hand, she felt a sense of stability and security. She closed her eyes and followed Lin Jin's lead.
The next instant, two clouds condensed and wrapped around their feet. Like a flight of clouds, it supported them.
They walked on the clouds.
At this, He Qian's anxious heart finally calmed down. Yet another wave of shock washed over him. Lin Jin had too many tricks up his sleeves.
Walking on clouds and ascending to the nine heavens … Weren't these the methods of immortals mentioned in ancient books?
At this thought, He Qian couldn't help but shudder.
If he felt this way, it was even more so for the other two princes.
At first, He Huang and He Yu didn't understand why their father would bring them along. It wasn't until they saw Appraiser Lin that they had an inkling of what was going on.
Although they found it hard to believe, they were both incredibly intelligent so they treated Lin Jin with utmost respect along the way.
This was because they knew that their father wanted Appraiser Lin to comment on their performance.
In other words, their father valued Appraiser Lin's opinion very much. This wasn't a joke. After all, among the princes, these two were the most likely candidates to become the next emperor.
This was the key to who would inherit the throne in the future. Both He Huang and He Yu valued this highly. But to be fair, they didn't think too highly of Appraiser Lin.
They were princes while Lin Jin was a Rank 3 beast appraiser.
Although a Rank 3 beast appraiser was considered top-notch in Jade Dragon Kingdom, there were quite a few of them in Jade Dragon City. None of them could compare to the royal family.
But now, as they watched Lin Jin tread on the clouds, their hearts thumped wildly. They finally understood why their father valued Appraiser Lin so much.
Both of them were now thinking back, wondering if they had been disrespectful to Appraiser Lin in any way and if their performance was commendable.
Other than that, they had other thoughts on their minds that they didn't want others to know about.
Meanwhile, Lin Jin was on a cloud, descending with the equally shocked He Yu in tow.
Lin Jin's Cloud Mist skill had reached a certain level. Although he still couldn't soar to the nine heavens and travel a thousand miles in a single night, it shouldn't be a problem for him to carry someone for a short period of time.
At this moment, He Yu's heart was thumping wildly. She was beyond excited.
This was a plot that could only be found in books. To think that she would actually be able to tread on the clouds one day.
It was like a dream.
However, after they landed, it was pitch-black below. Many things seemed to be lurking in the darkness, watching them. They would be lying if they said they weren't afraid.
