How could the second prince, Feng Zishan, not think of what the first prince, Feng Ziyong, could think of?
Feng Zishan's expression darkened.
Who would have thought that Princess Ruoli of Thousand Island Country would be so direct? Didn't this mean that his previous efforts were all for naught?
In the end, the most crucial part was the beast appraisal.
The problem now was that his third brother, Feng Ziqian, clearly had the upper hand. The person she invited was of a high status. Feng Zishan didn't know how capable Senior Shu was, but he was certain that he was more capable than the other Rank 4 beast appraisers here.
Then, Feng Zishan turned to the two Rank 4 beast appraisers he invited. Noticing Feng Zishan's gaze, they whispered, "Don't worry, Your Highness. We'll do our best."
Feng Zishan could only nod. What else could he say at a time like this?
'Do your best. '
Meanwhile, Princess Ruoli had already ordered for the cloth covering the three deaf people to be removed.
In an instant, three specially made cages appeared. Each cage was over three meters tall and was extremely large. Runes were carved on the cages to suppress pet beasts.
When the crowd saw the pet beasts in the cages, they were dumbfounded.
"How … how could this be?" Feng Ziyong couldn't help but ask.
He was indeed shocked.
Because the pet beasts in the cages were three 'Chi Dragons'.
Chi Dragons had four legs and a long body. They had no horns on their heads, long tails, and strong physiques. They were dragon beasts native to Thousand Island Country, just like the jade dragons of Jade Dragon Kingdom.
The problem was, other than some differences in color and details, these three Chi Dragons looked exactly the same. It was as if they were made from the same mold.
To be honest, the Hornless Dragon was definitely a rare beast. Even among the dragon beasts, it was a rare breed. Ordinary people might not be able to recognize and appraise it.
But who were the beast appraisers here?
They were all official Rank 4 beast appraisers, experienced and knowledgeable. How could they not recognize Chi Dragons?
Therefore, it was not a problem for them to identify the Hornless Dragon. The real problem was to determine which of the three almost identical Hornless Dragons was Princess Ruoli's pet beast. This was indeed a little difficult.
Of course, it was only a difficult task. It wasn't impossible.
A Rank 4 beast appraiser was no joke. Every single one of the Rank 4 beast appraisers present had several methods to determine the blood contract relationship between a beast appraiser and a beast appraiser.
The first to lose his cool was Appraiser Yan. He only had Appraiser Yan to help him so he had to make haste. He stood up and said, "Appraiser Yan, please take a look."
Appraiser Yan knew he couldn't refuse so he stood up as well.
Feng Zishan knew now was not the time to be modest so he immediately invited the two beast appraisers behind him to examine the beast.
Feng Ziqian glanced at Lin Jin and Mister Storyteller, but they didn't seem to have any intention of getting up to go over. This made Feng Ziqian a little anxious.
"Appraiser Lin, Appraiser Lin, aren't you going to take a look?" Feng Zishan whispered.
Lin Jin smiled and turned to glance at Xiao Shu Lou. "Senior Shu, go take a look."
Shu Xiao Lou did not move. He shook his head and said, "I'm only here to attend the banquet. I didn't say I'm going to evaluate beasts."
From the looks of it, Shu Xiao Lou did not plan to enter the battlefield.
Lin Jin knew what she was thinking. Given her status, if she were to compete with these juniors, she might become a laughingstock. Although Xiao Lou had a carefree personality and didn't care much about rules, she still took things like this seriously.
Lin Jin nodded before getting up and heading over.
In reality, everyone was secretly paying attention to Shu Xiao Lou's situation.
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they realized that Senior Shu was not going to appraise the beast, except for Feng Ziqian.
Feng Zishan was so excited that his fingers were trembling. "Indeed, indeed, it is as I expected. With the status of this senior, he shouldn't be competing with the juniors. I knew it. This is great. With this, our chances of winning are much higher."
He now had two Rank 4 beast appraisers helping him while Feng Ziyong and Feng Ziqian were all alone. The one Feng Ziqian invited was so young that Feng Zishan had heard of him before. His name was Lin Jin and he had just become a Rank 4 beast appraiser not too long ago.
Everyone knew that beast appraisals relied on experience and accumulation. Hence, Feng Zishan's instincts told him that Lin Jin was no match for the two veteran beast appraisers he had invited.
The Rank 4 beast appraisers stood around the cages and observed them from a close distance. They thought they would have an answer soon, but after a while, all four Rank 4 beast appraisers, including Lin Jin, were stunned.
No one said a word.
This made the three princes extremely anxious.
"Appraiser Yan, is there a result?" Feng Ziyong couldn't resist asking.
Appraiser Yan wore an odd expression. With a hint of uncertainty, he shook his head.
Feng Zishan was overjoyed. But when he asked the two beast appraisers he had invited, he realized that they were shaking their heads in silence just like Appraiser Yan. Feng Zishan was stunned as well.
What was going on?
Did they fail to appraise the beast?
That shouldn't be the case. These people were all Rank 4 beast appraisers. How could they fail to appraise the beast?
Feng Ziqian turned to Lin Jin as well to find him deep in thought with his head lowered.
"Alright, I'll stop asking." Feng Ziqian understood that something was amiss, so he gathered his courage and turned to look at Shu Xiao Lou. He saw that the latter was also looking at the Hornless Dragon Beasts in the cages with interest, a hint of a smile on his lips.
Unconvinced, Appraiser Yan and the others tried to appraise the beasts again but Lin Jin didn't. He returned to his seat and sat down. Unable to resist, Feng Ziqian asked, "Is something wrong? I know it now. Is it because none of these three beasts have a blood contract reaction? "
Lin Jin shook his head before whispering to Feng Ziqian, "You're wrong. It's not that there isn't a blood contract reaction, it's that all three hornless dragons have a blood contract reaction."
The so-called blood contract reaction referred to the blood contract between the beast and Princess Ruoli.
All three hornless dragons had a connection?
How was that possible?
Feng Ziqian understood why the Rank 4 beast appraisers reacted this way. They must have noticed this as well. But the problem was, it was impossible.
Lin Jin pondered for a moment before suddenly mumbling to himself, "Nothing is impossible in this world."
The corners of his lips curled up as he whispered into Feng Ziqian's ear.
Feng Ziqian had a strange expression on his face as he repeatedly asked Lin Jin for confirmation. After receiving Lin Jin's affirmation, Feng Ziqian hesitated for a long time before finally gritting his teeth and getting up. "Princess Ruoli, I'm sorry but the results are out."
When Feng Ziqian spoke, his two brothers were startled. They thought Senior Shu was giving Feng Ziqian advice.
But when they noticed that Senior Shu hadn't said a word since the beginning and only Appraiser Lin Jin participated in the appraisal, they heaved a sigh of relief.
