Other chiefs may treasure such an important personal prerogative, but it wasn't so for Lin Jin. He was mainly focused on the study of pet beasts so he didn't care for matters unrelated to his interest. It went without saying that something as superficial as 'authority' could never distract someone like Lin Jin.
Looking at it another way, this delegation of powers indicated Lin Jin's faith in Jia Qian. Otherwise, he wouldn't have passed on such an important duty to her.
Jia Qian bowed and said, "Master Lin, I'm afraid I may not be able to handle this well."
Lin Jin chuckled instead. "Just do it. Or perhaps you would like me to let Xiaoyun do it instead?"
Jia Qian was stunned.
At the thought of Lu Xiaoyun's fiery temper, if she was in charge, who knows what other mess would she bring back?
Jia Qian immediately stifled a chuckle.
