Chapter 749: Kneel

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Just as Tan Xun had described, the young master looked frail. He did have a handsome face but was too sickly and didn’t have much energy to speak.

This young master was covered in monster energy, but since it was being concealed by a certain spell, even experts didn’t notice it.

But Lin Jin was an exception.

In terms of abilities, even if he wasn’t at the rank of a profound immortal, he was at least at the level of an immortal. This concealment spell may be strong, but it did not deceive him.

Lin Jin already knew there was monster energy here, but it wasn’t until seeing the young master that he learned how serious the situation was.

The young master looked dazed. As if he hadn’t slept well, he merely saluted Lin Jin before yawning a few times.

“Please forgive him, Appraiser Lin. My son has been this way ever since he traveled to another continent. It is my lack of educating him properly that he is being so disrespectful,” said the patriarch. He was furious to see how careless his son was behaving but he couldn’t lash out in this situation.

Lin Jin smiled instead. “It’s alright. He is only feeling unwell so I don’t think he’s being casual on purpose.”

The patriarch was glad to hear this so he relaxed considerably.

Tan Xun had also been observing the young man. He then leaned in to whisper, “Appraiser Lin, this young man is much weaker compared to the last time I saw him. His aura isn’t right either.”

Lin Jin nodded.

He had noticed that too, so he went over to the young man.

“What are you doing? Don’t come near me,” the young master suddenly became irritated and barked, backing away as he did.

His sudden change fl.u.s.tered everyone, but Lin Jin continued to advance without fear.

Just then, a b.u.t.terfly flew in from outside.

This b.u.t.terfly was much larger than average and quite colorful. As its wings flapped, it seemed to scatter powder everywhere.

“My son brought back a pet beast from his travels, saying that this is a rare beast,” the patriarch explained.

He clearly wasn’t fond of his son’s pet beast.

His son only started becoming strange after his travels. Sometimes, the patriarch even thought that his son was like an entirely different person.

His temper and personality were completely different from before.

The patriarch suspected that it had something to do with the b.u.t.terfly, but his son had been treating this creature so dearly that he allowed no one close to it, much less do anything to it.

Lin Jin had heard from Tan Xun that the young master used to have another blood contracted pet beast. But after he returned from his travels, his pet beast had been switched to this one.

Complex operations must have been involved as severing a blood pact required huge sacrifice.

As for the b.u.t.terfly, Lin Jin was sure it was a monster. And of profound cultivation too, comparable to Shang’er’s level.

Lin Jin never imagined he would find such a powerful monster here in Jade Dragon City.

‘Impressive.’

Had it been before, Lin Jin wouldn’t dare to provoke the creature. But now, it should be the other way around.

Lin Jin took another two steps forward. When he was near the young master, a scene unantic.i.p.ated by everyone unfolded all of a sudden. The b.u.t.terfly flashed dazzlingly and then morphed into a beautiful girl who then got to her knees before Lin Jin.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, no pet beast could take on human forms. Those that could were all monsters.

The family was knowledgeable in this sense so their jaws dropped in shock and they backed away. They hadn’t expected this at all.

Even Tan Xun was surprised.

He mused, ‘How can this be? I’ve previously appraised it and it truly was a rare beast, not a monster. Could it have deceived me?’

Judging from the current situation, it seemed so. Otherwise, they couldn’t explain this.

The only one who remained calm was Lin Jin. He glanced at the b.u.t.terfly monster and said, “You’re quite sensible.”

On her knees, the female monster looked frightened. “Appraiser Lin is reputable throughout the mainlands and I have long heard of your name. Now that I have the honor of meeting you, I can see that Appraiser Lin truly is both knowledgeable and powerful.”

The monster was smart and had a high cultivation level. For this reason, she was able to swiftly make correct decisions.

She had to kneel and surrender instead of fighting back.

Otherwise, it might end badly as she couldn’t withstand even one attack.

“Xiao Die, why do you have to kneel?” The young master hurried over indignantly, wanting to help the b.u.t.terfly monster up. But the latter stayed put and said instead, “Sir, Appraiser Lin is a powerful figure, we mustn’t be rude. We have to be honest about our situation. Perhaps Appraiser Lin can help us.”

Upon hearing this, the young master was shocked. He hesitated for a bit before kneeling as well.

These two were just a pair of cruel fated lovers.

Lin Jin frowned.

Another case of romance between monster and human. This was something he didn’t like handling as whatever he did would seem wrong.

He could tell the couple had a problem too, but he didn’t want to ask. He preferred to investigate on his own.

Flipping his palm over, two needles appeared in his hand and he shot them into the young master and the monster respectively.

This was much more straightforward. He could just tell after poking a needle at them.

Lin Jin’s expression changed after that, looking startled and coming to a realization.

“So that’s it.”

The probing of his needle had brought him quite a bit of information so at least he knew what was going on now and where the b.u.t.terfly came from.

The results had been unexpected, so he was indeed shocked.

And due to this shock, he didn’t know what to say for a moment there. However, as Lin Jin was no ordinary man, despite learning the gist of it, he still wanted to know the specifics.

He turned to the patriarch and everyone else. “Could you leave us? There are some things I’d like to ask your son and his b.u.t.terfly pet beast in private.”

It was Lin Jin who made the request so who would dare reject him?

Although worried, the family members were sensible enough to retreat. They could tell there was an issue here too.

Otherwise, Appraiser Lin wouldn’t send them all away.

“Appraiser Lin, then I…” Tan Xun asked as everyone else had gone out. But Lin Jin waved instead. “Please stay, Appraiser Tan. Listen to this situation with me as a case like this is rare.”

Truth be told, Tan Xun didn’t want to leave either. He was curious so upon hearing Lin Jin’s words, he happily obliged.

With this, only four of them remain in the hall.

“Tell me in detail and don’t hide anything. The main concern here is how this young master died,” Lin Jin interrogated sternly.

Tan Xun almost jumped after hearing this.
