As the wealthiest and most prominent family in Reed City, the Qiao family obviously had Rank 3 pet beasts to guard their territory, and they had more than one at that.
Hence, Qiao Feigong was very familiar with the aura of Rank 3 pet beasts.
He was surprised to find that Escort Zhang's pet beast possessed an aura similar to his companion's. He didn't recall having the same feeling back when he met him, so he came to a realization.
Escort Zhang's pet beast had evolved.
Did he perhaps return for this reason? What about the gifts he entrusted their company to deliver?
Qiao Feigong was puzzled.
Fortunately, Escort Zhang did not hold back the truth. He began elaborating what had happened during their journey and told them about meeting Appraiser Lin after crossing Maple City's borders. He also told them the supernatural skills Appraiser Lin possessed and how he easily evolved all their pet beasts on the spot.
