Unbeknownst to Lin Jin, several hours earlier, Yang Jie's pet beast, the white peacock, managed to achieve Rank 4 before Xiao Huo at the Friar Association.
This incident startled the entire Maple City.
It was because when the white peacock evolved, a strange phenomenon appeared in the sky. Pure white light enveloped the entire Maple City so everyone who was there knew something must have happened.
The first to be awed were the members of the Friar Association.
Ye Yuzhou was gone when the other mentors had an emergency gathering outside of Yang Jie's seclusion room.
A Rank 4 pet beast was a huge deal even for the Jade Dragon Kingdom, much less Maple City.
"Why is Mr. Yuzhou absent during such a crucial moment?" one of the mentors asked.
