City Lord Wang's heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was a three-ringed sleeve sleeve.
As the lord of a city, how could he not know what a three-ringed sleeve sleeve represented? There was a beast appraiser branch in Reed City under his jurisdiction but there was no Rank 3 beast appraiser there.
"This is ridiculous."
Chen Ruyuan was infuriated.
It was fine if the other party was disrespectful and disregarded him. Chen Ruyuan had a high self-esteem so even if he was unhappy, he wouldn't hold it against the other party nor would he make things difficult for him on the spot.
But that person suddenly jumped down, so it was not possible.
He was fully in charge of the situation here under the general's orders. Although he was certain that the monster struck down by the Daluo Temple monk was dead, there were still accidents.
He had originally come here under orders to gather manpower, planning to fill up the huge pit, but in the end, he actually encountered a hothead who jumped in.
Although Chen Ruyuan didn't care if the other party lived or died, the problem was that if word got out, wouldn't it mean that he had no control over the situation?
What would his superior think of him?
Chen Ruyuan jumped down as well, intending to drag the other party out.
"Impudent brat, I'll teach you a lesson later." Chen Ruyuan was also a guardian of the nation and one of the few in Jade Dragon Kingdom who owned a Rank 4 pet beast.
Of course, he was also very confident in his abilities.
Ten feet deep, Chen Ruyuan only needed to borrow some force to land.
The boulders below were twisted and the soil was shattered. However, there were also many large cracks that extended downwards. No one knew what was down there.
However, this proved even more clearly that the kid who had suddenly disappeared must have burrowed into some sort of crack.
The crack was about four to five feet wide so it shouldn't be a problem for a person to go down.
Chen Ruyuan went to the spot where the kid disappeared. Sure enough, there was a crack leading downwards. Cursing, Chen Ruyuan jumped down as well.
He had to go down if he wanted to drag the person out.
However, when he went down, he discovered that there was another world below. There was actually a huge hole, and from the looks of it, it was naturally formed. It should have been exposed after the collapse of this place. There was a huge rock covering the top, and only a few cracks could be used to enter.
However, the hole wasn't curved. Below it was a space that was several feet wide. Currently, the kid who jumped down was standing there with something in his arms.
Chen Ru Yuan was furious.
"Stinking brat, this is an important place. How can I allow you to mess around here? Hurry up and scram!" At the same time, it reached out with its claw.
He was using the Beast Grip.
The silhouette of a beast appeared on Chen Ruyuan's body. This was his pet beast, sealed inside his body with the power of the Beastmaster Second Scroll. With this, Chen Ruyuan's strength was ten times stronger than an average person.
But this time, it was knocked away by an invisible force.
Chen Ruyuan retreated a few steps before stabilizing himself.
At the same time, his heart was filled with shock.
"Brat, who exactly are you?"
Chen Ruyuan dared not let his guard down. Under normal circumstances, the Beastmaster Second Scroll would suffice, but in a situation like this, he had no choice but to summon his pet beast.
"Golden-armored Bear, come out!"
Without another word, Chen Ruyuan formed a hand seal. The beast shadow on his body immediately materialized, and a huge golden-armored bear appeared.
However, just as half of the beast's body was revealed, Lin Jin gently extended a hand and pressed against the air.
"Go back!"
Chen Ruyuan's casual words, coupled with the pressure from a distance, caused the ferocious Golden-Armored Bear to be forced back into Chen Ruyuan's body by an invisible force.
The Beastmaster Second Scroll that was about to break out of its seal was stabilized once more and strengthened.
Chen Ruyuan was completely dumbfounded.
His eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at the scene before him. He stuttered, "You … this … this … I … I …"
After uttering a few words, he couldn't even form a complete sentence. He couldn't be blamed for this. This was Chen Ruyuan's first time encountering a situation like this. To think someone could actually force his pet beast, which was about to break out of its seal, back inside.
Who was he supposed to reason with?
He had never encountered a situation like this before.
Just as Chen Ruyuan was at a loss for what to do and his heart was filled with fear, Lin Jin finally spoke up. "Greetings, sir. Due to the urgency of the situation, Lin Jin jumped down without informing you. It was indeed a little rash. Sir, if you ask who I am, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Lin Jin, chief of Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association. "
"Lin Jin?"
When Chen Ruyuan heard this name, he was immediately stunned.
Although the Iron Feather Army that he was in wasn't stationed in Monarch City and was stationed in the south, he knew quite a bit about the happenings in Monarch City.
During the Jade Dragon Festival celebration yesterday, Iron Feather Army's general had gone to the royal capital to attend the celebration. When he returned that night, he informed Chen Ruyuan of something.
His Majesty the Emperor had personally conferred Lin Jin the title of Jade Dragon's number one appraiser. The general had also witnessed Lin Jin evolving the five selected pet beasts through drawing lots. Needless to say, he was astounded.
When he returned and told Chen Ruyuan about it, the general seemed to be filled with admiration for Appraiser Lin.
Could this man be Jade Dragon's number one appraiser?
That had to be it.
Chen Ruyuan was instantly sure. If he wasn't Jade Dragon's number one appraiser, who else could force his pet beast that was about to break out of its seal back into its body?
At this moment, Chen Ruyuan's attitude took a 180-degree turn.
With a smile, Chen Ruyuan took a step forward and saluted. "So it's Appraiser Lin. Apologies for my rudeness. I am the Iron Feather Army's general, Chen Ruyuan. It's my honor to be able to meet you today, Appraiser Lin."
Although Chen Ruyuan was an arrogant man, that only applied to his subordinates. He valued strength above all else, and Lin Jin was no doubt a capable man.
Not only was Lin Jin a favorite of His Majesty, but he was also a guardian of the nation. Someone like Lin Jin couldn't be offended and he had to try his best to befriend him.
Lin Jin nodded at Chen Ruyuan. "Lord Chen, there's something I need your help with."
Chen Ruyuan immediately replied, "Appraiser Lin, you're too kind. Just tell me what you need and I'll do it for you."
Lin Jin glanced at the thing in his arms and said, "Lord Chen, I'll have to trouble you to stand guard outside this pit for a day. During this time, don't let anyone enter."
Chen Ruyuan could now see clearly that Lin Jin was carrying a little fox in his arms. However, the little fox seemed to be unconscious and he couldn't tell if it was dead or alive. Also, the little fox's tail was furry and it looked like it had more than one tail.
Recalling the rumors, Chen Ruyuan had a hunch. But with Lin Jin around, he wouldn't go looking for trouble so he said, "It's a small matter. Don't worry, Appraiser Lin. I'll stand guard outside. Forget one day, even three to five days won't be a problem."
Lin Jin nodded in thanks before Chen Ruyuan took his leave.
Once outside, Chen Ruyuan regained his usual arrogant demeanor. He leaped onto the wall of the pit and said to Wang Yuanqiao, "City Lord Wang, it's fine now. That man was my good friend."
Wang Yuanqiao wasn't a fool so he didn't believe Lin Jin. However, he couldn't expose Lin Jin's lies either. When it was time to be muddle-headed, one had to be muddle-headed.
"So it's Lord Chen's good friend. It's fine then." Wang Yuanqiao looked relaxed and didn't mention anything about the intruder trespassing.
"City Lord Wang, you may head back first. I'll stay here and wait for my friend to come out to catch up. I won't take up any more of your time." Chen Ruyuan began chasing him away.
He didn't intend to share this opportunity to befriend Appraiser Lin with anyone else.
Just as City Lord Wang and the others were leaving in bewilderment, Lin Jin caressed the little fox's head and said, "Shang'er, I'll avenge you."
