Lin Jin was trying to dissuade Gu Mengzhong.
The latter was stunned. "Brother Lin, these people are obviously trying to get away after failing their scheme. How can we let them go so easily?"
Gu Mengzhong was used to helping others whenever he saw injustice. Moreover, it was him and Lin Jin who were in trouble. If they didn't stop this sinister act of stealing someone else's pet beast, would there still be any justice in this world? Lin Jin shook his head at Gu Mengzhong.
Lin Jin shook his head at Gu Mengzhong and said, "This isn't the wilderness. Moreover, that person was extremely agile, forcing Master Gu's ink beast sword back with his bare hands. He's no ordinary person either. If we were to really fight them, we might not be able to do anything to them. Also, since they dared to do something like this in broad daylight, they must be fearless. Don't get yourself into trouble later."
Gu Mengzhong gave it some thought before nodding.
Admittedly, Lin Jin's considerations made sense. Although Gu Mengzhong was slightly older, his experience in the martial world paled in comparison to Lin Jin's.
To put it bluntly, Gu Mengzhong was a scholar with a sense of romance and chivalry. Lin Jin, on the other hand, had climbed up from the lowest rungs of society. Having experienced so many complicated things in such a short time, Lin Jin was more pragmatic.
When it came to fighting, be it tactics or strategy, Lin Jin was far superior to Gu Mengzhong.
Gu Mengzhong could only swallow his anger.
However, little did he know that Lin Jin wasn't done with this matter. If it was just a local bully who took advantage of his authority to harm outsiders, Lin Jin wouldn't have bothered to take it to heart.
But if this local bully was connected to the Demonic Appraisal Association, the situation would be entirely different.
Due to the incident with the Qiao family of Reed City, Lin Jin and the Demonic Appraisal Association had become enemies. Moreover, the association had used Daluo Temple's eminent monk to deal with Shang'er and White Ape, almost causing their deaths.
Lin Jin couldn't possibly let go of this grudge.
The blood severing talisman that the local bullies used earlier seemed to belong to the Demonic Appraisal Association. Or rather, to Lin Jin, this was something only the Demonic Appraisal Association could refine.
In that instant, Lin Jin made his decision.
Casting a long line to catch a big fish.
Last time, he was in the open while the enemy was in the dark. Now, it was the other way around.
That androgynous young master was indeed an expert. Lin Jin was sure that if he didn't borrow his pet beast's strength, it would be hard to predict who would win.
Hence, Lin Jin flicked out a needle imbued with his psyche and injected it into the bald man. This man was no small fry. He had a certain status but he wasn't all that powerful. Hence, he was the perfect target for tracking.
This was Lin Jin's plan.
The bald man had become Lin Jin's bait. When the time was right, Lin Jin would deal with this troublemaker and at the same time, investigate their relationship with the Demonic Appraisal Association.
Now is not the right time.
Gu Mengzhong was a little dejected. Perhaps it was because he had yet to vent his anger. Lin Jin consoled him and Gu Mengzhong slowly felt better.
"Brother Lin, you are right. Sometimes, things in this world are too complicated. In the pugilistic world, one has no choice but to do what he wants. I know this very well." Gu Mengzhong couldn't help but sigh.
After some thought, Lin Jin said something that left Gu Mengzhong flabbergasted.
"If you have absolute martial power, you can turn complicated into simple."
After some thought, Gu Mengzhong understood what Lin Jin meant.
"Brother Lin, I'm not as good as you."
Celestial Jade City was huge. Other than the little trouble they encountered when they first entered the city, everything went smoothly. Celestial Jade City was clearly divided into different regions and some of them were 'unsafe'.
Just like the 'train station' in his original world.
Generally speaking, Celestial Jade City was fine. Even if there were people causing trouble, it was only in certain areas.
Lin Jin didn't know his way around while this was Gu Mengzhong's third time in Celestial Jade City. Coincidentally, he knew the location of the Beast Appraisal Association's headquarters. When Gu Mengzhong brought Lin Jin here, the latter felt as if his horizons had been broadened.
The headquarters of the Beast Appraisal Association was basically a separate district within the city.
"In front of us is the Beast Appraisal Association's headquarters. That place doesn't look fancy at all. It looks ordinary and has an antique feel to it, but it's the holy land of beast appraisers in Zhongzhou. There are countless Rank 1 and 2 beast appraisers here, hundreds of Rank 3 beast appraisers, and dozens of Rank 4 beast appraisers. Rumor has it that there are even Rank 5 beast appraisers in Tianxuan City's Beast Appraisal Association headquarters." Gu Mengzhong revealed everything he knew.
Lin Jin had heard about this before he came here. Appraiser Tan Xun and the others had also reminded him more than once to keep a low profile. After all, this wasn't Jade Dragon City. That was a land of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
"At the end of the road, there's a forest of trees. That's the famous Celestial Jade Academy in Continent Central. I heard that many of the top beast appraisers in the Beast Appraisal Association teach in Celestial Jade Academy. "Gu Mengzhong racked his brains and told Lin Jin everything he knew.
As they got closer, they realized that Celestial Jade City's Beast Appraisal Association's clinic was located on the other side. Admittedly, it was great to have a bigger place. Each area could be separated and there was enough space to accommodate them. Unlike Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association, the consultation hall, and the like were all arranged in one yard. Although the yard was divided into several areas and was huge, it paled in comparison to Celestial Jade City's Beast Appraisal Association.
The entrance of Celestial Jade City's Beast Appraisal Association was indeed low-key. In fact, it might even be smaller than Jade Dragon City's. However, there were old trees here. Every brick, tile, stone, and wood exuded a sense of antiquity and history.
This place must have been around for at least several hundred years.
There were guards at the entrance. With Appraiser Tan Xun's recommendation letter, Lin Jin was allowed entry but Gu Mengzhong couldn't.
"It's fine. I'll wait for you outside. It just so happens that I haven't taken a good look around. The scenery here is really nice," Gu Mengzhong said.
Lin Jin nodded and had Senior Mo wait outside as well.
After all, this was Celestial Jade Nation's Beast Appraisal Association headquarters. There were Rank 3 and Rank 4 beast appraisers here. It wasn't a big deal for a monster like Senior Mo to stroll around the royal capital, but if he were to enter, he would definitely be recognized. If someone used the monster as an excuse, it would be troublesome. Hence, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Lin Jin entered on his own.
By now, Lin Jin had revealed his three-ringed sleeve sleeve. The guide was a Rank 2 beast appraiser. At first, he was a little arrogant, but after seeing Lin Jin's three-ringed sleeve sleeve, he displayed the proper respect he deserved.
After arriving at the living room, Lin Jin was told to wait for a while. There were snacks and refreshments available.
All he had to do now was wait.
To Lin Jin's surprise, he had to wait for two hours.
Just as he was getting impatient, the sound of footsteps finally came from outside.
"Haha, I've been busy today so I couldn't get away. Sorry for making you wait, Appraiser Lin." Following the voice, a middle-aged beast appraiser walked in.
There were also three beast tattoos on the other party's sleeves.
