Just then, the young man cried out in grief, "Appraiser Lin, you've really done me a disservice. Back then, I came to ask for your opinion because I thought you were a trustworthy beast appraiser. But who knew …"
Taking a deep breath, he continued, "Back then, I wasn't sure if I should buy this pet beast. After all, the seller was asking for a very high price. I was born into a poor family, so in order to buy this pet beast, my parents had to sell their ancestral home before they could gather enough money. If you had told me that this pet beast wasn't worth forming a blood pact with, I definitely wouldn't have sold my entire fortune to buy it. Now, my parents have lost all their savings and they said that I could take the exam again next year. But now, my parents are penniless, so how could they possibly take the exam again? You've ruined my family, ruined my entire life. "
At this, everyone looked at him sympathetically.
That was right.
It was indeed difficult for a commoner to embark on the path of a cultivator.
Lin Jin had invested his entire family's fortune and pinned all of his hopes on him. This was their trust in him, but in the end, the pet beast they recommended was such a piece of trash.
Lin Jin had indeed ruined his entire family and ruined his entire life.
Even if this young man wanted to form a new blood pact with a pet beast, how could he afford it?
Wang Ji said with a pained expression, "Everyone, do you now understand why Elder Nan, Appraiser Tan Lin, and I made this decision? Lin Jin has gone too far. Banning him is a responsibility to Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association and everyone else. We don't want Lin Jin to commit any more mishaps. "
At this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Who said it was a mishap?"
Lin Jin got up. Having said that, he turned to the furious young man and said, "You're a man who bites the hand that feeds you. I was kind enough to help you find such a precious pet beast but not only are you not grateful, you're even trying to backstab me."
"What nonsense are you spouting?" The young man was enraged.
Wang Ji's expression darkened as well. "Lin Jin, you're still quibbling and spouting nonsense at a time like this."
Lin Jin didn't back down. Instead, he turned to Wang Ji and said, "Whether I'm quibbling or not, we'll know soon enough."
Having said that, he turned to the young man again. "Do you still remember what I told you that day? Even if you've forgotten about it, the beast evaluation report that I wrote for you should have written it very clearly and clearly. I told you that this wolf is a premium pet beast and that you should form a blood pact with it immediately so that you can raise it properly. I also told you to come back within seven days. Am I right? "
The young man was stunned before nodding. "That's right. But after that, I met Chief Wang Ji and he personally appraised it for me. Only then did I find out that this pet beast was flawed."
Wang Ji said angrily. "Wang said," Lin Jin, Lin Jin, Wang, what are you trying to say? "
Lin Jin raised his voice. "That day, when I appraised this man's pet beast, I made it clear that it's an upper-grade pet beast and the most important thing is for him to come back within seven days. Let me ask you, why didn't you come?"
The young man said angrily, "I was tricked by you once. How can I be tricked by you again?"
"I lied to you?" Lin Jin was enraged. He raised his hand, condensed a spirit seal, and slapped it on the young man's wolf beast's head. The next instant, an invisible wave of energy gushed out. Everyone's clothes fluttered in the wind as they stared in shock.
Although the wolf beast was still thin and weak, it now exuded a domineering aura and a sharp gaze. Compared to before, it was like a completely different wolf.
What was most unbelievable was that this wolf beast's silhouette flickered in and out of existence. One look and anyone could tell that it was extraordinary.
"A rare beast!"
Those with discerning eyes could immediately tell at a glance that only rare beasts would have all sorts of special abilities.
This time, everyone was shocked.
The young man was dumbfounded. He pointed at the wolf beast, speechless.
Wang Ji's heart was pounding. His mouth was wide open, more than enough to stuff a bun into his mouth.
Nan Gongxian frowned. Tan Lin's pupils dilated.
None of them had expected such a scene to unfold.
Now, it was Lin Jin's turn to look indignant.
"I lied to you? This pet beast has a rare shadow wolf bloodline. Isn't it wrong to call it an upper-class pet beast? Back then, I saw how poor your family was so I didn't dare to write down the pet beast's bloodline for fear that someone bad might find out and harm you. Let me ask you, have I, Lin Jin, done anything wrong? "
The young man paled. He stared at the wolf beast with a completely different aura, speechless.
Lin Jin's voice grew louder. "I told you to come find me in seven days so that you can bond with your pet beast. At the same time, you can slowly nourish it with meat. When the time comes, I can use a secret technique to activate its hidden bloodline. But what about you? Did you come find me? "
"I …" Sweat began to form on the young man's forehead.
"You didn't!" Lin Jin let out a long sigh. "I, Lin Jin, have always done things with a clear conscience. Yet, I didn't know that I was being schemed against by a despicable person who twisted the truth and made it sound like an appraisal accident. Even so, I didn't refute him. I only hoped that this matter would be resolved as soon as possible and I was still waiting for you to come find me."
"You're finally here today. But to think that I, Lin Jin, would receive a boycott order instead. This shadow wolf is such a rare beast, yet you treated it like this. You probably haven't fed it anything for the past few days. Not only did you treat it coldly, you even abused it. Pet beasts are sentient too. Even if you have a blood contract with it, the way you've treated it, it might turn on you, break free from the blood contract, and leave you. "
Perhaps in response to Lin Jin's words, after activating its bloodline, the shadow wolf howled at the sky.
In an instant, a mist of blood erupted from its body.
It was as if something had just snapped.
"Ah, this is …"
"It broke its blood contract and broke free from its restraints. This shadow wolf is willing to harm itself just to break free from the blood contract!"
It was rare for a pet beast to break a blood contract. It would only succeed when the pet beast was strong but the blood contract was unstable.
Of course, from another perspective, it was also when the owner was too weak or abused the pet beast. Only then would it happen.
Who knew it would happen in front of everyone today.
That young man retreated a few steps in shock. He seemed to have understood something and immediately walked towards the Dark Shadow Wolf. However, the Dark Shadow Wolf growled and looked like it was about to attack.
The young man didn't dare to step forward. He could only kneel before Lin Jin.
"Appraiser Lin, I was wrong. I was wrong. Please think of a way for me to form a blood contract with it again!"
Everyone looked at him in disdain.
Who was the one who ignored their pet beast? Who was the one who tortured it and refused to feed it?
Now that they saw that not only was the pet beast not a worthless piece of trash, but a rare beast with a rare bloodline, their attitude changed immediately. You want to redeem yourself?
Face.
Doesn't it hurt?
"That's impossible!" Wang Ji snapped out of his daze. He immediately cast a spell and activated his spiritual eye to carefully appraise the shadow wolf.
However, the result of this appraisal made him suck in a breath of cold air.
Just as Lin Jin had said, it wasn't an exaggeration to call this wolf an upper-class creature.
There could only be one possibility, and that was that this wolf beast's bloodline was well-hidden and Wang Ji hadn't been able to appraise it back then.
But how did Lin Jin see through it?
Also, what was that spirit seal earlier? Wang Ji couldn't understand it either. This spirit seal could instantly activate the wolf beast's bloodline?
