Due to the matter with the authorities, Lin Jin was delayed for quite some time. By the time he returned to the Beast Appraisal Association, it was already noon.
"Let's head back to the emergency hall first."
However, just as he reached the entrance and Zhao Ying successfully entered, Lin Jin was stopped.
Lin Jin was a little stunned but the guards refused to let him in, saying that it was Chief Wang Ji's order.
"This is too much!" Lin Jin's expression darkened. It was one thing for Wang Ji to pick on him and Lin Jin couldn't be bothered to deal with him, but for the man to forbid him from entering the association, that was too much.
Just then, Wang Ji walked out with Jia Qian, Zhang He, and the others following behind him.
"Lin Jin, headquarters has revoked your qualifications as an official beast appraiser. Now, please hand over the beast emblem on your sleeve. You're not allowed to step foot into the Beast Appraisal Association ever again because you're not qualified."
Wang Ji was extremely pleased with himself.
His plan to kick Lin Jin out was finally done.
And it was two days earlier than he expected.
Truth be told, he was shocked when he received the news today. The order to revoke Lin Jin's qualifications was issued by an inspector from headquarters.
Inspectors from headquarters had the right to do so.
Moreover, Wang Ji didn't expect this inspector to arrive at Maple City two days in advance. He just didn't know what had happened to anger this inspector to the point of reporting to headquarters and issuing such an order.
No matter what the situation was, as long as it was beneficial to his side, it was fine.
It could be said that Lin Jin had been sentenced to death and there was no way he could make a comeback.
Of course, Lin Jin was shocked. He suddenly recalled that strange woman from last night. Before she left, she seemed to have mentioned that his qualifications as a beast appraiser had been revoked.
Back then, he thought it was just a joke. Who knew that it would really be revoked?
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jin forced himself to calm down.
Now that things had come to this, there was no point in arguing. His plans would definitely be ruined. He had planned to take the advancement exam, but now that his qualifications as a beast appraiser had been revoked, he couldn't take the exam anymore.
But so what?
Since my qualifications as an official beast appraiser have been revoked, I'll take the exam again. Not only that, but I'll also take the advancement exam.
This sounded like a fantasy, but to Lin Jin, who owned the Museum of Deadly Beasts, nothing was impossible.
"What right do you have to revoke Master Lin's qualifications?"
At this moment, an angry voice rang out.
It was Zhao Ying.
At this moment, she was like an enraged lion, her face flushed with anger.
"Based on the decision made by the inspectors sent by the headquarters," Zhang He could not help but say. He had been beaten up by Dong He yesterday and his face was still swollen.
Lin Jin couldn't be bothered with Zhang He, but he couldn't ignore Zhao Ying.
He wanted to pull her back, but Zhao Ying stubbornly continued to shout.
As an apprentice, I can vouch for Master Lin. As an official beast appraiser, be it his skills or character, he is impeccable. I request for a review. If Master Lin is truly incompetent, I am willing to bear all the consequences. "
"Me too!" Lu Xiaoyun and Han Dong also hurried over.
"I, Lu Xiaoyun, am willing to vouch for Master Lin!"
"I, Han Dong, am willing to vouch for Master Lin!"
The three of them stepped forward, bowed their heads, and pleaded.
Lin Jin gulped.
He was slightly moved!
"You think you're worthy?" Wang Ji scoffed. "You're just three apprentices, not even official beast appraisers. What right do you have to vouch for him? What do you have to vouch for him? I'm warning you not to mess around. This is the headquarters' decision. If you don't want to work in the association, you can leave together. I won't stop you. "
"Leave then …" Lu Xiaoyun was the first to erupt in anger. But before she could finish, Lin Jin quickly came over and covered her mouth.
Sob sob sob!
Lu Xiaoyun bared her fangs and claws, but the rest of her words were all muffled.
"Enough, you three!" Lin Jin reprimanded with a straight face.
"Master Lin, I, Han Dong, have been greatly indebted to you. Now that my mentor is being humiliated, how can I remain indifferent? I swear to advance together with my mentor …"
"Shut up!"
Lin Jin glared. He was truly enraged.
Han Dong immediately shut his mouth in fear.
But he couldn't stop his tears from flowing. Han Dong, the big boy who was always smiling, was actually crying at this moment.
Not only him, but Zhao Ying and Lu Xiaoyun's eyes were moist as well.
At the association's main entrance, Lin Jin was stopped in front of everyone. Then, Wang Ji purposely revealed this incident in front of everyone to humiliate Lin Jin.
Couldn't he have called Lin Jin aside to discuss this in private?
It was obvious that this was all meticulously planned. After receiving headquarters' decision, Wang Ji had started plotting it.
The three of them obviously couldn't tolerate Lin Jin being humiliated. After spending days together, they had shared weal and woe. Moreover, they were young and hot-blooded, so it was only natural for them to react in such a manner.
This was human nature.
If Lin Jin was an average person, he would probably lose his mind from anger. He would either cause a scene and embarrass himself, or he would faint from anger and become a laughing stock.
But Lin Jin wasn't an average person.
He patted Han Dong's shoulder, patted Lu Xiaoyun's head, and wiped away the tears on Zhao Ying's face. "I understand your intentions. If you still respect me as your master, then listen to my orders. Don't say too much and stay in the association. Study your skills and increase your knowledge. Leave the rest to me."
At the trio's nod, Lin Jin turned to Wang Ji.
"Of course I can't defy headquarters' orders. Chief Wang, let me ask you. Headquarters has only revoked my qualifications as an official beast appraiser. That's all, right?" Lin Jin asked.
Wang Ji laughed.
"Lin Jin, isn't that enough? Alright, if you want to hear it, I'll say it again. That's right, headquarters has only issued an order to revoke your qualifications as an official beast appraiser. Do you understand now? "
Lin Jin nodded. "That's good. So, I'll be registering for the beast appraiser's exams the day after tomorrow. Chief Wang Ji, see you then!"
Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and left.
The crowd was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter.
"Has Lin Jin lost his mind? Does he think he can still pass? "
"What a joke. Does he really think he has the qualifications to be an official beast appraiser? The inspectors from headquarters aren't blind. If they didn't prove that Lin Jin doesn't live up to his name, why would they revoke his qualifications? He's just asking to be humiliated."
Wang Ji laughed as he shook his head. "I can't wait for you to take the exam. But your actions are questioning the decision of headquarters' inspectors. They're still in Maple City. If they find out about this, forget about you failing the exam, even if you do, you won't be able to pass."
Wang Ji would 'ensure' that the inspector found out about this.
Moreover, he knew that this inspector dispatched by headquarters had an extraordinary status. If he were to anger him, Lin Jin wouldn't be able to make a comeback even if he had three heads and six arms.
Inside the Beast Appraisal Association, Tan Lin listened to Wang Ji's report. When she recalled what happened last night, her expression darkened and the anger within her flared up again.
'He's still not convinced? Not only is this person shameless and lowly, but he's also overestimating himself. '
She gritted her teeth as she thought about it.
However, she managed to keep her composure on the surface. She said calmly, "If he wants to take the exam, let him take it. Headquarters didn't deprive him of the right to take the exam again."
Despite her words, Tan Lin's expression made it clear that she was furious.
This was exactly what Wang Ji wanted. He said, "It's my fault for not being strict enough to have such a scum in the association. Right, has Elder Tan come out yet?"
His attitude was surprisingly respectful.
Elder Tan was the Rank 3 beast appraiser invited by the City Lord Manor. Tan Xun held a high position in headquarters and was also the father of Inspector Tan Lin.
Tan Lin shook her head. "Father is still in the geocentric fire vein, discussing with Elder Mo and Elder Du about strengthening the seal. It might take some time so I'll stay here and wait for him to come out."
