Chen Yuanyuan was about to lose her mind.
Not only did the other party hit her, but he also said such infuriating words.
Just then, a young man walked out from the door. This young man had an extraordinary air about him. Behind him was a purple-spotted snow leopard that exuded a domineering aura. On the young man's robes, there were three 'blood cloud patterns'.
Just like the Beast Appraisal Association, the Friar Association had a detailed hierarchy where one's strength spoke for themselves.
In the Friar Association, upon reaching the first realm of blood contract, one could sew a blood cloud pattern. At the second realm, one could sew a second blood cloud pattern, and so on. With three blood cloud patterns on this young man's robes, one could tell his realm and status in the Friar Association.
When he came out, Chen Yuanyuan's eyes lit up at once.
"Cousin Brother!"
"Yuanyuan, what happened?"
When the young man saw Chen Yuanyuan with tears in her eyes, he immediately frowned and approached her.
"Cousin Brother, they bullied me. That Lin Jin and that woman beside him hit me."
As if she had just been bullied, Chen Yuanyuan complained to her parent.
"Insolence!"
The young man was furious. How dare someone bully his cousin sister in the Friar Association's territory? They were clearly trying to embarrass him.
After all, he was one of the top five members of the Friar Association's younger generation.
"Lin Jin? You mean that useless beast appraiser who was engaged to you? " The young man obviously knew about what happened earlier. He sneered, "He's just a Rank 1 beast appraiser who rose to his current rank through sheer luck. Although he's an official beast appraiser, there's no way for him to advance. He's not even worth mentioning. I've been against your engagement with him ever since. Our Chen family may not be a prominent family, but we're not a family that any Tom, Dick, or Harry can claim."
Chen Yuanyuan had clearly found her backbone. Someone was backing her up.
"Cousin Brother, you have to help me get back at him. Right, this Lin Jin doesn't have an invitation so we can't let him in. It doesn't matter who pleads on his behalf. "
Chen Yuanyuan's eyes were once again filled with pride and arrogance.
"Don't worry. I'll definitely help you get back at him." The young man patted the back of Chen Yuanyuan's hand, enjoying the sensation.
As for this beautiful cousin of his, he also had some thoughts in his heart.
He immediately glared at Lin Jin.
But soon, he saw Lu Xiaoyun.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Lu Xiaoyun was Lu Yunhe's biological younger sister. She wasn't someone he could afford to offend. Lu Yunhe was already on the fourth realm and his status was higher than his. Among the younger generation, Lu Yunhe was ranked top three. Some even said that if Lu Yunhe's pet beast could evolve to Rank 3, he would be on par with Maple City's Friar Association's number one genius, Yang Jie.
Compared to Lu Yunhe, he was still a little lacking.
When he saw Lu Xiaoyun leaning on Lin Jin's shoulder 'intimately', he knew something was wrong.
"Chen Chen, I really want to see how you're going to help them vent their anger." Lu Yunhe walked over from the other side.
In fact, he came with Lu Xiaoyun. However, when Chen Yuanyuan made a scene just now, it was not appropriate for a man to step in. At that time, it was best for Lu Xiaoyun to step in.
He didn't come over from afar but when he saw Chen Chen 'acting cool', he knew it was time for him to step in.
Chen Chen was considered a prominent figure in the Friar Association. His mentor was quite impressive since he shared the same mentor as the number one genius, Yang Jie. However, Chen Chen was only average. His blood contract was on the third realm, his pet beast was Rank 2, and his talent and potential were above average. He was ranked below Lu Yunhe.
For other matters, Lu Yunhe wouldn't mind giving Chen Chen some face. But for today's incident, it was impossible.
Setting aside his sister's relationship with Lin Jin, Lu Yunhe himself still needed Lin Jin's help to evolve his pet beast. Hence, he had to stand on Lin Jin's side.
Seeing that Lu Yunhe was here too, Chen Chen had a bad feeling about this.
If he knew Lu Yunhe was involved in this, he would never have come out. But since he was here, he couldn't just keep quiet and not ask any questions.
"Senior Lu, what are you …" Chen Chen started feigning ignorance.
Lu Yunhe was straightforward. He walked up to Lin Jin and said, "The one who hit your sister is my sister. As for Appraiser Lin, I was the one who invited him here. I forgot to bring the invitation. Let me ask you, which guest of mine would dare to refuse entry?" Lin Jin nodded.
The last sentence was meant for the people guarding the door to hear.
The gatekeepers had witnessed the entire process. When they saw Lu Yunhe step forward, they quickly said, "Since he's Senior Lu's guest, of course he can enter."
Lu Yunhe nodded and did not make things difficult for these disciples who were guarding the door.
Chen Chen chuckled dryly.
He mused, 'This isn't going to be easy. Lu Yunhe is obviously trying to stand up for Lin Jin. In other words, forget about Lu Xiaoyun's assault, he couldn't even criticize Lin Jin anymore.
Doing so would only offend Lu Yunhe.
Chen Chen's mind worked quickly as he said, "It's probably just a misunderstanding. I still have things to take care of so I won't disturb you any longer, Senior Lu."
Having said that, he dragged the indignant Chen Yuanyuan away.
Naturally, this farce came to an end.
Lu Yunhe came over and glanced at Lu Xiaoyun. Only then did she realize that she was still holding onto Lin Jin's arm. She quickly let go, her face flushed red.
"Brother, why didn't you come earlier?"
Lu Xiaoyun was a shy girl so she decided to shift the blame to her brother.
Lu Yunhe was helpless. He knew that Lu Xiaoyun was just trying to help Lin Jin out of trouble. It was probably just an act. But to be honest, even if it was true, Lu Yunhe wouldn't mind.
His sister had told him about Lin Jin's promotion to Rank 2 so it shouldn't be a lie. After all, a Rank 2 beast appraiser was much more powerful than a Rank 1 beast appraiser. Although it was only one rank higher than a Rank 1 beast appraiser, the difference was huge.
Take Wang Ji for example. As a Rank 2 beast appraiser, he was the chief of Maple City's Beast Appraisal Association. The people he interacted with on a daily basis were all sorts of influential people.
Now that Lin Jin was a Rank 2 beast appraiser, even if he didn't do well in the future, with a few years of networking, it wouldn't be a problem for him to become a minor elder.
Lu Yunhe smiled at Lin Jin. "Appraiser Lin, Xiaoyun didn't tell me that you were coming. If she had known that you were coming, just let me know and I'll give you as many invitations as you want."
"I was dragged here at the last minute too." Lin Jin smiled. Beside him, Zu Can smiled awkwardly. He had been too naive this time. To think that the people here wouldn't show him any respect and he even ran into a crazy woman. Fortunately, Lu Xiaoyun and Lu Yunhe arrived in time to resolve the problem.
At the same time, he was surprised. He didn't know that Lu Xiaoyun's brother was the famous Lu Yunhe of the Friar Association.
Thanks to Lin Jin, they finally got to know each other.
The group entered the venue together. Inside was a huge garden that could accommodate hundreds of people. Birds chirped and the fragrance of flowers bloomed everywhere.
