He Qian didn’t panic.

He wasn’t worried that no one would support his country mainly because Lin Jin was here. So forget the premium countries who were invited, those that weren’t invited might just show up.

In regards to this matter, He Qian even specifically discussed it with his ministers during their morning assemblies. The core officials of Jade Dragon Kingdom all had brilliant minds with experience and competence no average person could compare to.

All of them agreed that Lin Jin’s status had now risen to a frightening level in the entire mainland.

Prior to this, Lin Jin’s reputation had only been somewhat superficial. But after being known for defeating the Grassy Continent coalition on his own, to the extent that the enemy couldn’t even retaliate nor dare to take revenge, Lin Jin’s fame shot through the roof.

His reputation of being a living immortal wasn’t baseless. And for this reason, Jade Dragon Kingdom’s invitations would surely not be disregarded.

Reality was similar to what they had assumed. Many premium countries’ representatives subsequently poured in one after another, turning Jade Dragon City into a lively place.

Interestingly, if any other country had a sudden influx of dignitaries and armies from so many foreign countries, they would surely panic and be fearful of making mistakes.

After all, it was best not to offend their guests. But the city of Jade Dragon had no such worries. No matter how domineering these royalty and dignitaries were on a regular basis, they all behaved inside Jade Dragon City as if they were good-natured citizens.

No one had the audacity to cause trouble.

Especially when they know that Lin Jin was right here in the city.

The case of Lin Jin reviving a beast now had more than a hundred versions spread across the lands, further enhancing his reputation.

Of course, nothing was absolute in this world. Although most people revered Lin Jin, feared him even, some just refused to believe all of it.

A group of men, worn from their travels, were now resting inside one of Jade Dragon City’s inns.

Judging by their outfits, it was easy to tell they weren’t ordinary folks. Each one of them was buff and had menacing looks unique to people far from the mainlands.

Even their horses looked unusual. United Continent had never seen anything like them, much less the inn’s shopkeeper and his staff.

Out of curiosity, they couldn’t resist glancing at their guests, but it turned out that the bunch had fiery tempers. They immediately berated the staff, even threatening to use violence.

Yet, the shopkeeper wasn’t fazed at all.

“Gentlemen, since you are guests here, you must abide by Jade Dragon’s rules. Haven’t you seen the notice before entering our city gates, advising you not to cause trouble here? Or do you plan on deliberately going against them?” The shopkeeper had been courteous at first, but the guests had been terribly vulgar so he ended up losing his temper too.

Regardless of how far their guests traveled, the people of Jade Dragon City had high self-esteem so they wouldn’t allow outsiders to trample on them this way.

Mainly because they assumed they had a backing figure.

And this figure was Appraiser Lin.

Everyone knew that. They had also seen many foreigners come and go in between. Even dignitaries had been courteous to them, never shouting at nor berating them.

Hence, this gave the locals a sense of pride and cheekiness. Simply put, Jade Dragon Kingdom welcomed guests and treated them respectfully, but they surely wouldn’t tolerate unruly behavior and spoil these people.

Upon hearing the shopkeeper’s words, one of the guests flared up in anger.

“How dare a mere shopkeeper speak to our prince this way?! This is outrageous!” As the man spoke, an ember lit up behind him and a flaming snake emerged to pounce at the shopkeeper.

This flaming snake was at least Rank 3, and of fire attribute. It burned everything in its path, so if the shopkeeper was caught in the line of attack, he would surely catch fire and be burned to death.

The guest had been overly vicious in his attack, having aimed to kill, and this scene startled even his own comrades.

“You mustn’t!” Someone tried to stop him but it was evidently too late.

Rumble!

The flaming snake had another ability, and that was to explode. For a moment there, flames erupted from this inn, accompanied by sounds of explosion. Many buildings nearby were also caught up in the fire.

Dark smoke rose into the sky and this group of men rushed out of the burning inn with grim looks on their faces.

“This is bad,” the leader of the group said. A tall man beside him spoke up, “My lord, I don’t think we should worry. These peasants disrespected us first, so we were being reasonable. Even if we aren’t, what’s wrong with killing a few ignorant peasants? Is Jade Dragon’s emperor going to declare war against us just because of this?”

The tall man seemed nonchalant. He then said to the man who started the fire, “Brother, you’ve done well. I’ve been enduring all this time since entering Jade Dragon City. We’re the royal family members of a premium country and our prince has a noble status. He might even be the next person to succeed the throne, but Jade Dragon didn’t send anyone to receive us outside the city. We’ve even been ignored after entering the city and this is just absurd.”

Many of his comrades echoed in agreement with his statements.

Even the prince seemed to agree with his guard captain’s words.

He had indeed been tolerating and controlling his anger all this while.

As a noble prince of a premium country, his status was far above even emperors of intermediate countries. So how dare they let him stay in such a cheap inn?

This was blatant disrespect for him.

He had been enduring all this while because he didn’t want to cause trouble, and also because there was Lin Jin.

However, the men he brought along all had short fuses and lashed out when pushed to a limit. As their prince, he couldn’t exactly reprimand them.

Regardless, now that everything was said and done, they had to shoulder the responsibility as this concerned his dignity and his home country’s honor.

“Although you’ve gone slightly overboard, you only did it for my sake. Those peasants have died, so be it. I will take responsibility for this but do not act on your emotions anymore. This is Jade Dragon Kingdom after all, and Lin Jin is here too. He’s not someone we’d want to provoke,” the prince warned.

His subordinates saluted in response.

“My lord, is that Lin Jin really a deity as per the rumors? I think it’s just an exaggeration because how can immortals still exist in this world? It’s ridiculous. Also, news of him defeating the Grassy Continent coalition on his own sounds like an exaggeration too. The way I see it, Jade Dragon must have had the support of Heavenly Spiral, and it was most probably Heavenly Spiral who defeated the Grassy Continent coalition. As for Lin Jin, he may be a slightly competent beast appraiser, but he’s definitely not a deity as the rumors say.. If he doesn’t have his beast appraisal skills, he’d probably lose even to me,” the tall man said with obvious disdain and doubt in his tone.
