Dong He was beaten up.
This news spread like wildfire. Even though Elder Nangong had stepped in immediately to seal off the news, many people still found out about it.
"Have you heard? That Dong He has only been here for two days and he's already stirred up so much trouble that he steamed someone's pet beast!"
"Hehe, the news has spread like wildfire. All he had to do was add some soy sauce and vinegar and chop a few cloves of garlic. It smelled so good that half the association could smell it."
"I heard that when the pet beast's owner woke up, he immediately started fighting with Dong He."
"If it were me, I'd fight him to the death too."
Dong He stood there with a swollen face. He didn't dare to sit down.
His sister and brother-in-law sat across from him, their expressions as cold as ice.
"Trash!"
Nangong Xian cursed angrily.
As an elder of the association, he was utterly humiliated. After all, he was the one who arranged for Dong He to be here officially.
"Darling, now that things have come to this, there's no point in reprimanding him anymore. Let's think about how to deal with the aftermath." Dong Que was furious as well. She didn't expect her younger brother to be so disappointing.
Earlier, she had given Dong He a harsh slap.
"I'm acquainted with Mr. Zhang of the Chamber of Commerce. I'll personally pick out a pet beast for him and help him form a blood pact. I believe he won't pursue this matter anymore. Now, we should just try our best to minimize the impact." Having said that, Nangong Xian turned to Dong He and asked, "Using steamer steamers? Where did you learn this method?"
Dong He was terrified of his brother-in-law so he shuddered in fear and quickly spilled the beans.
"Lin Jin? It's him again. "Nangong Xian frowned.
"Darling, what's wrong?" Dong Que noticed something amiss so she asked softly.
Nangong Xian's expression darkened. "I think Lin Jin set Dong He up. After all, steamer steamers have never been a treatment method like this before. Although the medical theory in his evaluation report was adequate, there was a huge loophole. He had to make a complete diagnosis that the frigid energy in the pet beast's body had seeped deep into its internal organs. Otherwise, wouldn't steaming the pet beast in steamers be the same as cooking it? "
Dong Que's eyes lit up. "That's right. Why didn't I think of that? He's just a Rank 1 beast appraiser so how could he be so sure that the frigid energy had seeped deep into its internal organs and meridians?"
"Not to mention him, even I can't do it, so he must have done it on purpose to make you fall into a trap." Nan Gongxian concluded, "Dong He isn't entirely to blame for this. That Lin Jin is simply too cunning."
At this, Dong He's face contorted in anger. "Very well, Lin Jin. You and I will never exist together!"
Nan Gongxian turned to Dong Que and said, "Que 'er, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Dong He to ascend the throne this time. After all, this matter has happened and it can't be covered up no matter what. But don't worry, there's still a long way to go."
"That's the only way. But are we just going to let that Lin Jin roam free?" Dong Que's expression was icy.
"Dream on!" Nan Gongxian was enraged. "That Lin Jin's qualifications as a beast appraiser are revoked is a done deal. But he can still take the exam in the future. I want him to never have the chance to rise again. The association's evaluation will be held in two days. I will write a report listing Lin Jin's evil deeds and apply to headquarters for him to be blacklisted."
Banned.
To a beast appraiser, this was a fate worse than death.
If it was just a revocation of his qualifications, he could take the exam again next year.
But once the Beast Appraisal Association blacklisted someone, that person would never be able to make a comeback.
Nightfall.
The other consultation halls of the Beast Appraisal Association were closed for the night. Most of the staff had returned home, leaving only the emergency hall with someone on duty.
This was a precaution so that if there was an emergency at night, there would be someone to deal with it.
This was also why the emergency hall was shunned by everyone. After all, no one would be willing to be on duty at night.
But today, Lin Jin volunteered to be on duty.
The reason was because his home wasn't ready yet. Instead of going home, he would rather stay at the emergency hall.
At night, not many people came by, so the shift was relatively relaxing.
"Zhao Ying, Xiaoyun, Han Dong, you guys can go back too." Lin Jin waved them off. The three of them were exhausted so there was no need for them to keep him company.
Zhao Ying found an excuse to stay behind. After Lu Xiaoyun and Han Dong left, she leaned over and whispered, "Master Lin, I have something I need your help with."
"What is it?" Lin Jin asked out of concern, knowing that Zhao Ying wasn't one to ask for help.
Zhao Ying said, "I have a friend. She … she's feeling a little unwell and she wants Master Lin to take a look …"
"If she's feeling unwell, she should go to a doctor at the clinic. Our Beast Appraisal Association only diagnoses pet beasts." Lin Jin was puzzled.
Zhao Ying wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, she whispered, "She went to the clinic but the doctor said she's fine. But every night when she sleeps, she dreams of a large black snake. At first, it was outside the house, but every night, it would get closer. Yesterday, she told me that the black snake in her dream had snuck into the house and she was terrified."
"Nightmares?" Lin Jin was intrigued.
"I thought so too at first, but she said it wasn't just a dream. The black snake in her dream said that it would … would marry her as a bride!" Zhao Ying's cheeks were flushed.
Lin Jin laughed. "Even if it's true, she's the one who's going to marry you, not you. Why are you blushing?"
Zhao Ying was so angry that she wanted to leave. Only then did Lin Jin say in a serious tone, "Well, get her here. The black snake is considered a ferocious beast. Since it's getting dark, I'll take a look at her."
"Really? I'll get her here then." Zhao Ying smiled and turned to leave.
Lin Jin waited in the emergency hall. He thought it would take a while, but soon, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
"She's here so soon?" Lin Jin had planned to pee but it seemed like he wouldn't make it in time.
After tidying up his clothes, Lin Jin stood where he was.
The footsteps approached and a person entered.
Lin Jin glanced at her and mused, 'This friend of Zhao Ying's is quite good-looking. She's just a little cold and doesn't seem like the shy type. Since that's the case, she could have just come. Why did she have to wait for Zhao Ying to pass the message?'
The woman who came in was well-dressed and her hair accessories were well-groomed. She actually exuded a valiant aura.
Zhao Ying was nowhere to be seen.
She probably felt like she should have some privacy.
Without thinking too much, Lin Jin said, "It's okay, don't be shy. Let me take a look at you. The clinic takes your pulse so let me do the same!"
He had the woman sit on a chair while Lin Jin sat across from her.
Regardless of whether there was something wrong with her body, Lin Jin had to touch her first. If she was related to a pet beast or a ferocious beast, the museum would definitely react once he touched her.
If there wasn't, then she was just a nightmare. Lin Jin could just comfort her and send her away.
The woman was clearly stunned but she didn't say anything. She simply placed her hand on the table, revealing her wrist. There was a hint of curiosity and playfulness in her eyes.
Lin Jin glanced at it. Her wrist was fair and slender. Her body proportions were perfect.
Without a second thought, Lin Jin touched it lightly with a single finger.
In an instant, the Museum of Deadly Beasts stirred.
"There really is!"
Lin Jin wore a solemn expression.
Looking at the results from the museum, Lin Jin saw a strange black fog in the shape of a beast.
"It's a bestial soul curse again!"
Lin Jin mumbled to himself.
