"City Lord, perhaps we've been over-complicating things. Think about it. Lin Jin isn't an average man. He has a master called 'Curator' and a Rank 4 pet beast. Just these points make him worthy of befriending. Moreover, Lin Jin's beast appraising skills are incredible. Even if it's not at Rank 3 level, he should be close enough. His Majesty is fond of talents so giving this exception doesn't sound weird at all." Upon hearing Zuo Wentang's deduction, this train of thought seemed reasonable for this situation.
By now, Bai Zhenkong was done eating. Indeed, he was interested in Lin Jin. Although he hadn't yet clarified the reason why His Majesty held Lin Jin in such high regard, he could be sure now that Lin Jin was someone he could only befriend and not provoke.
However, several hours later, Bai Zhenkong received a personally written letter from Fan City's city lord.
