The way Zu Tianli acted as if he had forgotten his little conflict with Lin Jin before this.
In fact, after he returned home that day, a harsh realization sank in that Master Liao was actually an incompetent beast appraiser. Although the man spoke eloquently, what was important at the end of the day were the results.
In the end, Master Liao was utterly defeated by Lin Jin during the beast auction to the point of being unable to put up a fight.
The man actually failed to realize the important bloodline this two-headed snake possessed.
More importantly, it wasn't just Lin Jin who realized it but another person found out as well. Otherwise, they wouldn't have competed with Zu Can in the bidding.
However, Zu Tianli had been indifferent to it back then precisely because he fell for Master Liao's bluffs.
He went to search for Master Liao after everything was over only to find out that the latter had escaped.
