What kind of person was Zhong Zifeng?
He was a prominent figure in the Beast Appraisal Association of Heavenly Spiral Nation. Beast appraisers from all over Zhongzhou admired Zhong Zifeng immensely. Some even claimed that Mr. Zhong was qualified to be promoted to Rank 5 long ago but he refused to do so. He had been clinging onto his Rank 4 all this while. Many people didn't understand why, but Mr. Zhong stubbornly persisted.
Others obviously didn't know the reason. Perhaps only Zhong Zifeng himself knew.
It was because of Shu Xiao Lou.
Since Shu Xiao Lou was now a Rank 5 beast appraiser, Zhong Zifeng refused to promote to Rank 5 out of respect. In other words, if Shu Xiao Lou was willing to become a Rank 6 beast appraiser, Zhong Zifeng would naturally become a Rank 5 beast appraiser.
Even the emperor of Spiral Great Nation, Feng Tiannan, had to respectfully address Zhong Zifeng as "Elder Zhong" or "Mister Zhong". For Shu Xiao Lou to call Zhong Zifeng as "Little Zhong" and Zhong Zifeng thought it was normal, it showed how high Senior Shu Xiao Lou's position was in Zhong Zifeng's heart.
Since Shu Xiao Lou was asking for information, Zhong Zifeng naturally told him everything he knew.
"Curator?" Zhong Zifeng thought for a moment before answering, "I've heard of him!"
Shu Xiao Lou was overjoyed. "Tell me about it."
Curator's name had been resounding recently. Although Zhong Zifeng spent most of his time in Heavenly Spiral City or even the academy, he still had some understanding of the world's happenings.
Previously, the Curator had ordered the villainous experts, Black Crow and Madam Ghost Child, to threaten an intermediate kingdom in the Grassy Continent. Zhong Zifeng was naturally unaware of such a trivial matter, but the fact that the Curator single-handedly went to Daluo Temple was well known to the world.
After all, that was Daluo Temple, which was comparable to a premium country.
Curator came alone to challenge the temple but was politely escorted down the mountain by a group of monks. Zhong Zifeng knew that he didn't have the ability to do so.
What did it mean to become famous after a single battle?
This was it.
It was because of this incident that Curator's name spread like wildfire in Zhongzhou. Of course, Zhong Zifeng had heard of him. Hence, he told Shu Xiao Lou everything he knew and added, "Senior Shu, why are you asking about this?"
On the other side, Shu Xiao Lou waved his hand without saying anything. Then, his figure flashed and disappeared without a trace.
However, Zhong Zifeng was already used to it. Senior Shu Xiaolou's appraisal skills were extraordinary. From what Zhong Zifeng could tell, he had long surpassed the Rank Five. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a Rank 6 beast appraiser. Other than that, Senior Shu Xiaolou's skills were unfathomable and his eccentric personality allowed him to do whatever he wanted.
Because he was already used to it, Zhong Zifeng didn't ask any more questions. He adjusted his mood and continued to read. However, this book was no longer in his heart.
"Why does Senior Shu want to know about Curator?"
The next morning, Lin Jin arranged for another public lecture. But this time, he used Lecture Hall Four. The number of people who showed up this time was noticeably higher than before. Other than the group of hedonistic rich kids who still came to support him, there were more than ten other students who showed up as well.
Even so, more than half of the seats in the lecture hall were still empty. Lin Jin didn't mind this at all. It was already good enough that he had a student. After all, this was only a temporary teaching position. It was more about quality than quantity.
Although there weren't many students, Lin Jin didn't hold back at all during his lecture. He was serious. Therefore, all the students who came to listen to the class, especially those who came for the first time, felt as if they had found a treasure. Halfway through the class, they had already put away their originally lazy and contemptuous thoughts and began to listen attentively.
'That's more like it! ' Lin Jin chuckled inwardly. Looking at the students below, he felt like he had returned to his school days in his original world.
Back then, he was truly carefree.
At that moment, Lin Jin's gaze swept across the room and landed on a female student dressed in green who was sitting in a corner.
Lin Jin still didn't notice when she arrived. It was as if she wasn't there before and when he looked up again, she was already sitting there.
Lin Jin had been paying attention to this female student since the last time he met her. Wang Xin had been guarding the door, but no other female students had entered or left. Hence, this time, Lin Jin immediately paid attention to her. Without batting an eyelid, Lin Jin continued his lecture. However, when the lecture was about to end, he deliberately walked down from the lecture hall.
"If there's anything you don't understand, feel free to ask me in class." With his hands behind his back, Lin Jin deliberately paced back and forth. Seizing this opportunity, he walked past the female student.
This female student was a rare sight to behold. Even though Lin Jin was used to seeing Shang'er's peerless beauty, he was still left speechless by her beauty.
How could this person be so perfect?
Just like a beauty from a painting.
As Lin Jin walked past her, he discreetly extended a silver needle and pierced it into the green-clothed girl's clothes. With this, Lin Jin could pinpoint her location so he could investigate after class.
Lin Jin assumed that no one noticed his actions. However, not long after the class ended and the green-clothed girl left, Lin Jin raised an eyebrow.
The connection between him and the silver needle had been severed.
This was Lin Jin's first time encountering such a situation.
After pondering for a moment, he still couldn't figure out the reason behind it. The only possibility was that the green-clothed girl had discovered the silver needle. However, she couldn't possibly erase the psyche attached to the needle.
Unless, this female student's cultivation level was so high that it was much higher than his.
The other possibility was that there was an expert behind the girl.
Lin Jin was more inclined to the second possibility. Moreover, he had a vague feeling that the expert behind the green-clothed girl was most likely related to that strange Mr. Shu.
In Heavenly Jade Academy, there were only two people that Lin Jin was wary of. One was Mr. Zhong, and the other was Mr. Shu.
In the afternoon, when he was teaching his students at Peach Blossom Residence, Lin Jin deliberately asked if anyone had seen the green-clothed girl during class today.
Sure enough, no one had.
Just as Lin Jin expected.
Then, Lin Jin asked another question. Had anyone heard of Mr. Shu?
To Lin Jin's surprise, be it Li Xinqi, Li Yuanqing, or the other students, none of them had heard of Shu Garden's Mr. Shu.
They had no idea that such a person existed in the academy.
This time, it was Lin Jin who was surprised.
How was it possible that no one had ever heard of a teacher in the academy? But that was the truth. If one or two people didn't know or were lying, it was impossible that no one else had heard of him.
Lin Jin even asked Tan Lin, but she had never heard of him either.
He asked Appraiser Wang Xin about it, but the latter shook his head.
That was odd!
Someone who didn't exist.
