"Brother, don't you have something to do? Go on ahead. We'll walk around on our own!" Lu Xiaoyun began chasing them away. Lu Yunhe's expression darkened but he really did have something to do so he said a few polite words before leaving.
Before he left, Lu Yunhe asked about Lu Ba's condition.
If Lin Jin wanted to, he could have helped Lu Ba evolve long ago. But sometimes, it wasn't a good idea to stand out too much. Hence, he planned to delay it for another two days.
However, since Lu Yunhe had helped him out today, after some thought, Lin Jin took out a prescription and told Lu Yunhe to prepare according to it. In two days, he would use a special acupuncture technique on Lu Ba's orifices. With the help of the pill, there was a thirty percent chance that Lu Ba could evolve.
Lin Jin had purposely said thirty percent. In fact, he was ninety-nine percent confident.
Even so, Lu Yunhe was thrilled to hear this. He quickly said, "Don't worry, Appraiser Lin. I'll definitely prepare everything you need. Please do your best when the time comes. If Lu Ba can really evolve into a Rank 3 pet beast, you'll be Lu Yunhe's benefactor."
Having said that, Lu Yunhe left happily.
Lu Xiaoyun was a mischievous girl. She leaned over and whispered with a grin, "Master Lin, did you already have a way …"
Lin Jin made a shushing gesture and Lu Xiaoyun immediately chuckled, looking like she understood and wouldn't say anything.
Zu Can shook his head, thinking, 'A grown girl can't be kept at home. The ancients weren't lying after all.'
Meanwhile, Chen Yuanyuan was so angry that she kicked a pebble away. "Cousin Brother, that Lu Yunhe is amazing but you're not too bad yourself. Why are you afraid of him?"
Chen Chen's expression did not look good either. He had shown weakness today, and it did not look good on him either.
"Yuanyuan, you know that Lu Yunhe's rank is higher than mine. If I fight him head-on, I'll be the one at a disadvantage. It's not worth it for such a small matter. One more thing. In half a month, the Friar Association's annual beast tournament will be held. The rewards this time are great so I have to conserve my strength. Hopefully, I can raise my ranking. "
Chen Yuanyuan thought about it and could only swallow the resentment in her heart.
"Also, I heard that the rewards for this beast tournament are extraordinary. One of them is a 'lesser dragon blood pill'," Chen Cheng continued.
"Dragon Blood Pill? Could it be the Dragon Blood Pill that can cleanse a pet beast's marrow and strengthen its bloodline? "Chen Yuanyuan was also surprised.
"Indeed." Chen Cheng nodded.
"Cousin, could it be that you want to …"
Chen Chen hurriedly shook his head, "I want it, but I know that this Dragon Blood Pill doesn't belong to me, because in order to obtain this reward, I must obtain first place in the Warbeast Tournament. You know, even if I can surpass Lu Yunhe, I can't defeat Senior Brother Yang."
Hearing the words' Senior Brother Yang ', Chen Yuanyuan's face blushed and her eyes shined, as if the words' Senior Brother Yang 'had some kind of magical power.
Seeing Chen Yuanyuan's infatuated look, Chen Cheng was displeased but he simply said, "Yuanyuan, Senior Brother Yang is a genius with lofty ambitions. He's not someone a mere Maple City can tolerate. He will soar to the top in the future. It's best if you give up on that unrealistic idea of yours. Back then, you found an excuse to have your family annul your engagement with Lin Jin because of Senior Brother Yang. I know that …"
"Cousin Brother, you don't have to worry about this. I just like him. Even if we don't have a title … Even if I become his concubine, it's better than being Lin Jin's wife. That useless Lin Jin isn't even fit to carry Brother Yang's shoes." At the thought of Lin Jin, Chen Yuanyuan's expression turned frosty.
"Cousin Brother, I just can't stand the sight of that Lin Jin. Help me think of a way to deal with him. I understand that you don't have the guts to deal with Lu Yunhe, but there's no reason for you to be afraid of a down-and-out beast appraiser, right?" Chen Yuanyuan's words were filled with provocation.
At the mention of Lin Jin, Chen Cheng looked displeased. "You don't have to say that. I'm going to deal with him anyway. I don't know how he befriended Lu Yunhe but don't worry, I have connections in the Beast Appraisal Association too. Messing with him won't take much effort."
…
Lin Jin didn't expect Zu Can to have a younger sister.
Standing in front of him was a young girl who bore a striking resemblance to Zu Can. She was quite adorable.
"Brother Lin, this is my twin sister, Zu Yingying." Zu Can introduced her enthusiastically, "Yingying, why aren't you bowing? This is Lin Jin, Appraiser Lin. He's a good friend of mine."
Zu Yingying was a well-educated and well-mannered young lady so she smiled and bowed.
Zu Yingying stared at Lin Jin for a long while before suddenly saying, "Oh, I know. You're the one who had an engagement with Chen Yuanyuan, aren't you?"
Lin Jin's expression darkened.
Zu Can quickly tried to smooth things over. Only now did Lin Jin realize that Zu Yingying and Chen Yuanyuan were 'arch-enemies'. Due to certain reasons, they often went against each other.
Lu Xiaoyun was a curious baby with a straightforward personality. Without beating around the bush, she asked Lin Jin what their feud was about.
Zu Can sighed and told her the truth.
"It's all because of that Yang Jie!"
"Who's Yang Jie?" Lin Jin turned to look at Lu Xiaoyun. Upon hearing Yang Jie's name, Lu Xiaoyun blushed, which was a rare sight.
Her expression reminded Lin Jin of how some teenage girls would react when they heard the popular Oppa's name before he transmigrated here.
After some more questioning, Lin Jin finally found out who Yang Jie was.
To put it simply, he was young, promising, and talented. Not only was he handsome, but he was also ridiculously strong.
He was ranked number one among the younger generation in the Friar Association. His blood contract was at the peak of the fourth realm and he owned a Rank 3 pet beast, 'white peacock'. Other than that, he was proficient in pelletization and music theory. His flute playing skills had mesmerized countless girls and captured the hearts of many.
With so many titles, he was skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he was handsome enough to fight. In the era before Lin Jin transmigrated, he would definitely be a popular fresh meat, and a capable 'fresh meat' at that.
Anyway, after Lin Jin learned about him, he felt like he was hallucinating.
Yang Jie was clearly much more outstanding than him. So who was the main character here?
Moreover, Lin Jin learned something else from Zu Yingying.
The main reason why Chen Yuanyuan would 'cruelly' call off their engagement back then was because she was' infatuated 'with Yang Jie. While this sounded ridiculous, it was impossible. After all, nothing was too strange in this vast world.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jin suddenly had a good impression of Yang Jie.
Even though he didn't know him at all.
If it weren't for Yang Jie, Lin Jin would probably be a married man after transmigrating here.
Zu Yingying had always been in love with Yang Jie. Because of this matter, the Zu family was also very distressed. Fortunately, nothing went wrong. Moreover, Zu Yingying was still young. She thought that after a few days, she would realize that things couldn't be done and change her mind.
"Brother Lin, there's no point in admiring flowers here. The auction over there is more important," Zu Can suddenly said. Zu Can suddenly said. Didn't he invite Lin Jin here so that he could purchase a few pet beasts with potential at the auction?
