He had interacted with Mr. Zhong most of the time so he was well aware of Mr. Zhong's status and temper. If he wasn't interested in someone, this old man wouldn't waste his time meeting them.
This could only mean that Mr. Zhong had taken a liking to Tan Lin. More likely, he was thinking of taking her under his wing.
One had to know that Mister Zhong's status was special. Becoming his disciple would mean a meteoric rise for any student in the Academy.
Forget a student, even he, a Rank 3 beast appraiser and an assistant teacher, would be willing to follow Mr. Zhong if he had the chance.
After all, Mr. Zhong was a veteran Rank 4 beast appraiser. His knowledge was considered top-notch even among Rank 4 beast appraisers.
Even if it was just a nominal disciple of Mister Zhong, the benefits it could bring were endless.
Hence, when he heard that Mr. Zhong, who would never meet with any students, would take the initiative to meet a student, he knew that Tan Lin was in luck.
And she was extremely lucky.
Of course, he was envious. He was so envious that he could die.
But there was no point in being envious.
He hurried downstairs. While he was doing so, the young teacher made a decision without hesitation.
He could no longer contact Jiang Fengfeng anymore. He had to cut off all ties with her and he had to do it completely. He could befriend this student named Tan Lin.
Yes, he had to befriend her.
Because Tan Lin was very likely to become Mr. Zhong's disciple, even if it was only in name, her future was limitless. Hence, it was best for him to befriend this potential character.
Compared to Mister Zhong, Jiang Fengfeng's connections were not even worth mentioning.
By the time they reached the first floor, the young teacher had regained his normal expression. He was neither cold nor warm, exuding a dignified air that a teacher should have.
The people downstairs couldn't wait any longer.
This was especially so for Jiang Fengfeng. She couldn't wait to defeat Tan Lin. Moreover, there was a bet in this competition between them. When she thought about how Tan Lin would have to respectfully greet her and address her as' Senior Sister 'when she met her in the future, she felt extremely happy.
"Teacher Wang!" Jiang Fengfeng hurriedly greeted the young teacher when he came downstairs. The latter's expression remained unchanged as he walked over and smiled at Tan Lin.
Tan Lin was a little stunned.
After all, this teacher from the Beast Appraisal Hall had never been kind to her before.
This change stirred a sense of anticipation in Tan Lin's heart.
"The result of the competition is out. The winner is Tan Lin!"
Teacher Wang said with a smile. There was a hint of admiration in his words.
Of course, this was all revealed on purpose.
"What?" On the other side, Jiang Fengfeng thought that she had misheard. She stared at him and said, "Mr. Wang, you, you must have made a mistake."
Clearly, Jiang Fengfeng did not think that she would lose.
After all, she had brought along a Rank 3 beast appraiser with her. How could she possibly lose to her?
Teacher Wang's face turned cold. "Do I look like I'm joking? Tan Lin's writing is more accurate, so naturally she wins. "
"This, this … is impossible!" Instinctively, Jiang Fengfeng turned to her childhood friend, the young appraiser. The latter was equally baffled.
He couldn't help but step forward, "Brother Wang, are you sure you didn't make a mistake? Fengfeng has received my guidance and there shouldn't be a problem with her judgment of the five-colored feather. "
When Teacher Wang saw this person, he said politely, "Brother Shen, I'm not saying that Jiang Fengfeng made a mistake. I'm just saying that Tan Lin's evaluation report is more accurate and comprehensive. I didn't make this judgment, but Mr. Zhong did."
At the mention of Mr. Zhong, the Rank 3 beast appraiser was stunned. After some thought, he said nothing.
There was no need to say anything else.
He knew who Mr. Zhong was. He wouldn't dare to refute this man's judgment even if he was given a hundred guts.
Hence, he could only look at Jiang Fengfeng apologetically.
Jiang Fengfeng was about to lose her mind.
This was supposed to be a sure win, so how did things turn out like this? How did Tan Lin get the upper hand? She couldn't accept this. She wanted to say something but the young appraiser stopped her.
"Student of the academy, Tan Lin, please come with me. Mr. Zhong wants to see you!" Teacher Wang said something that shocked everyone.
This time, Appraiser Shen's eyes widened in disbelief.
Tan Lin's heart was pounding. She obviously knew who Mr. Zhong was. He was one of the academy's higher-ups and a legendary figure among beast appraisers.
This man wanted to see her?
It would be a lie if Tan Lin wasn't excited.
Seeing this, Teacher Wang took the opportunity to say, "Tan Lin, don't be nervous. Mr. Zhong is easy to talk to. Come, don't let him wait too long."
Suddenly remembering something, Tan Lin looked behind her. Lin Jin smiled and nodded at her. Tan Lin took a deep breath and followed Teacher Wang up to the second floor of the Beast Appraisal Pavilion.
Jiang Fengfeng was still in disbelief. However, Appraiser Shen was much calmer. Knowing Jiang Fengfeng's temperament, he quickly dragged her away to prevent her from doing something stupid again.
As they walked out, Appraiser Shen seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and locked his gaze on Lin Jin, who was standing among the crowd.
Similarly, he noticed Lin Jin's three-ringed sleeve band.
'Three rings at such a young age?' Appraiser Shen frowned. He noticed that this man knew Tan Lin and a strange thought popped into his head.
Could it be that Tan Lin was also …
He smiled helplessly. So what if she was? Wasn't it the same for him? Without evidence, there was no point in saying anything. If he spoke carelessly, he might even get himself into trouble.
'Forget it, I'm done for today.'
He then continued to drag Jiang Fengfeng, who was unwilling to let go, away.
Lin Jin noticed this young appraiser as well. The man was about the same age as him, a few years older than him at most. To be a Rank 3 beast appraiser at such a young age, his future was limitless.
As for the Mr. Zhong they mentioned earlier, Lin Jin gave it some thought and a name came to mind.
Zhong Zifeng!
This man was a legendary figure in the beast appraiser world. At least thirty percent of the beast appraisal books were written by this man.
Just this fact alone was enough to prove his status.
Lin Jin also heard that this Zhong Zifeng was a national treasure in Heavenly Spiral Nation. He seemed to have reached level four a few decades ago.
It was no wonder he was so intimidating.
If Tan Lin went up there, wouldn't something go wrong?
After giving it some thought, Lin Jin shook his head. Tan Lin was an intelligent woman. She knew what to say and what not to say. Moreover, her knowledge in beast appraising far surpassed her peers and peers of the same rank. After all, with an experienced beast appraiser like Tan Xun as her tutor, she didn't have to worry about her own qualities.
Moreover, Lin Jin had told her about the origin of the feather and how to appraise it so it shouldn't be a problem.
After some thought, Lin Jin retreated outside with Li Xinqi and found a place to sit and wait.
