"Yu'er, hurry up and thank your master!" He Qian suddenly said, snapping everyone out of their daze.
He Yu was stunned but she understood her father's intention. She blushed but without hesitation, she went up to Lin Jin and bowed deeply.
Lin Jin glanced at He Qian helplessly.
When he said he was He Yu's teacher, it was just an expedient tactic to deceive Elder Mo. Who knew He Qian would turn his act into reality?
Speaking of which, He Yu was quite talented. With a blood pact with the white jade dragon, her future would be limitless.
Moreover, he couldn't take back his words.
Hence, Lin Jin accepted He Yu's gift, taking it as a tacit acknowledgment.
Seeing that Lin Jin didn't stop her, He Qian was overjoyed. He wasn't blind either. That white jade dragon's talent and potential were even stronger than his Rank 4 jade dragon. Although it was harder to form a blood pact with a better pet beast, with Lin Jin around, it shouldn't be a problem.
Unknowingly, Lin Jin had become an omnipotent existence in He Qian's eyes.
Suddenly, a dragon's roar resounded.
It was the red and black dragon that had mustered its courage and charged into the flames.
It didn't die.
Not only did it not die, but it also benefited greatly. It hadn't been in the flames for a long time. Although it hadn't truly been reborn, the benefits it received were considerable. The layer of black jade skin on its body was already hard and cracked. With a shake of its body, the black skin fell off, revealing a scarlet jade skin.
The crimson jade dragon.
This crimson jade looked like it was dyed in blood, a beautiful sight to behold. In addition, this dragon had an odd appearance. It looked more like a lizard with large forelimbs and a thick tail. Adept at crawling, it clearly relied on strength.
"You sure know how to seize opportunities. You're much stronger than your peers." Lin Jin quite liked this crimson jade dragon's personality.
Go for it whenever you see an opportunity.
Even if you weren't confident, you'd still give it a try.
The benefits this crimson jade dragon received were only second to the white jade dragon. Its future achievements wouldn't be too shabby either.
"Your Majesty, we can go now!" Lin Jin said to He Qian. The latter nodded, making a mental note of this crimson jade dragon. The next time the royal family wanted a blood pact, he would definitely choose it.
The group headed out.
The crimson jade dragon let out a deafening roar as if expressing its gratitude to Lin Jin. The other jade dragons prostrated themselves on the ground in fear, only Senior Mo remained unaffected.
However, Senior Dragon Mo no longer had the time to care about this.
Right now, his heart was filled with mixed feelings. The pride of the Dragon race was completely shattered at this moment.
Seeing that Lin Jin was about to leave, Senior Mo's heart skipped a beat. It finally let go of its unwarranted sense of superiority. Perhaps it was inspired by the crimson jade dragon that dashed out without a care for its own safety when it saw an opportunity, Senior Mo suddenly spoke up. "That's right.
"Erm, Appraiser Lin, wait a moment …"
Everyone was taken aback, but they stopped in their tracks and looked at Senior Mo.
At that moment, Jade Mo Dragon crawled out from below. Upon closer inspection, it actually looked very similar to the Crimson Jade Dragon. They were both lizard dragons, but it was slightly larger in size.
"Appraiser Lin, please wait. I have a favor to ask of you." At that moment, Senior Mo finally understood that the person in front of it was a true expert. Perhaps this was the only chance it would ever meet again in its lifetime, just like the Crimson Jade Dragon and the other jade dragon beasts from before.
If it could seize this opportunity, it might be able to be reborn and change its destiny. If it stubbornly held onto its own views or held onto its meaningless pride, it would miss out on this golden opportunity.
At this crucial moment, the crimson jade dragon inspired it. Senior Mo decided to let go of everything to pursue this opportunity that was of utmost importance to it.
However, sometimes, an opportunity wasn't something you could ask for just because you wanted to.
Lin Jin shook his head. "I don't have the time to listen to your request."
Having said that, he strode out.
He Qian had been staring at Senior Mo in shock. As the emperor of Jade Dragon Kingdom, he was a frequent visitor to the Jade Dragon Lair so he had known Senior Mo for quite some time.
To He Qian, Senior Mo was like a rock in the toilet, smelly and stubborn. There was no way it would lower its head. Moreover, He Qian's grandfather and father had told him about this before. Senior Mo was two hundred years old and its bad temper had persisted for the past two centuries.
Today, the sun had risen from the west. Senior Mo was admitting defeat. It was rare, no, it had never been seen before. It was obvious that Senior Mo was panicking.
However, He Qian wouldn't speak up for the dragon.
Seeing that Lin Jin was ignoring it, Senior Mo knew that if he missed this opportunity, he would never be able to get it back. Hence, he panicked.
"Appraiser Lin, I'm begging you. Besides, I've just lost so I'm now your servant. Please save me, Appraiser Lin." Senior Mo prostrated on the ground with its head facing down as if it was a human kneeling in worship.
This act of submission was a sign of sincerity.
However, Lin Jin didn't change his pace. Without turning back, he said, "I told you, I don't have the time to listen. I've been in the royal capital for quite some time now so I should head back to Maple City as soon as possible."
Having said that, Lin Jin ignored Senior Mo and left.
Even if the others wanted to say something, they gave up on that thought after seeing Lin Jin's determination.
Who was to blame?
Senior Mo was the one who acted all high and mighty, arrogant, and looked down on others. Now that he knew how to lower his head and beg, it was too late.
The two princes looked at the old dragon with pity, probably thinking that if they were Appraiser Lin, they would have taken this Senior Mo Dragon in as a servant. Everything else aside, this old dragon was strong and intimidating. It could hold its own no matter what kind of situation it was in.
The few of them exited the Jade Dragon Lair together, leaving Senior Mo kneeling on the ground. Beside him, the Vermilion Dragon seemed to be itching to give it a try. However, the Vermilion Dragon had its own intelligence. Although it did not possess the same cultivation level as Senior Mo, which allowed it to speak the human language after refining its Hyoid Bone, it was still capable of thinking.
Although it wanted to follow that person, it didn't dare to.
This was different from when it leaped into the flames like a moth to a flame. Out of respect, it suppressed that urge.
"He's really gone!"
At that moment, Senior Mo crawled up from the ground. There was a look of disappointment in its huge eyes.
It didn't want to hide in this dark Jade Dragon Lair but it had no other choice. Back in the day, it was a 'prodigy dragon' of this Jade Dragon Lair. It had long since refined its supernatural powers and left to explore the outside world. At first, it was a smooth journey, but later on, it met an enemy. Due to a grudge, they became enemies. Senior Mo was no match for its opponent and was severely injured. In the end, it had to flee in a panic.
Ever since then, it had never left the lair. Firstly, it didn't dare to leave. Secondly, the Jade Dragon Lair could nourish its body and mind. However, the effects were slow. Even after such a long time, its injuries hadn't healed completely.
Every year, it would be tormented by its injuries, causing its temper to become increasingly erratic and violent. Sometimes, it couldn't even control itself, and today was no different. However, Senior Mo wasn't muddle-headed. When it realized that it had met a true expert, it immediately changed its rebellious attitude because it had been inspired by the agate dragon.
Whenever an opportunity presented itself, it had to seize it, even if it meant risking its life, even if its bones were crushed.
However, it seemed like it was too late.
