Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 810: Chapter 811: The Secret of the Flower of Life

Xue Ying looked at Lin Chen seriously: ”Chen, your opponents this time are unprecedentedly strong. Have you really thought it through about competing with them?”

Lin Chen nodded: ”Of course.”

Xue Ying sighed and said: ”According to our intelligence, the Medicine Sect is hiding a line from an ancient poem, and only the Sect Master has the chance to obtain that line.”

”The Medicine Sect?” Lin Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing Xue Ying’s words.

Not long ago, Elder Sun of the Medicine Sect had eagerly invited him to join their sect, but he had declined. It seemed that he really needed to find an opportunity to visit the Medicine Sect.

Xue Ying continued: ”The Wang Zixuan family who is with you also possesses a line from an ancient poem. However, that line isn’t within their family, but in a mysterious place. To access this location, you must lead the Zhonghai women’s basketball team to win the Huaxia Basketball Championship.”

”Why? What does that have to do with the Flower of Life?” Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Helping the Zhonghai women’s basketball team was actually just because Lin Chen disliked seeing Yin Fengzhu bullying Jiang Qian and decided to step in.

He had already decided to teach them a few techniques and then withdraw once the job was done.

Xue Ying said: ”The location where that line of ancient verse is hidden is actually the entrance to a hidden realm. And only the champion women’s basketball team will have the opportunity to enjoy the privilege of entering there.”

”Who came up with this?” Lin Chen expressed speechlessly.

Xue Ying explained: ”In the past, the selection for entering there involved martial contests, but they were too bloody, resulting in many injuries and deaths. Thus, the masters of Five Mountains later decided to select the younger generation to enter by a more peaceful means, which turned out to be a basketball competition.”

”There really is such a thing. It seems I need to hurry up and train those girls.” Lin Chen realized.

Lin Chen knew that for the sake of acquiring that verse, other forces would certainly send their representatives to compete. Hence, this competition would indeed be full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Given the current abilities of the girls, they could handle ordinary people, but they were very likely to encounter individuals with supernatural abilities in the end, which could mean more bad luck than good.

”Ying, the information you provided me with is simply invaluable. It seems I must take this basketball competition seriously,” Lin Chen said gravely.

Xue Ying smiled: ”Let me tell you some good news. Xiaohua will be coming to Zhonghai City in a short while.”

”Xiaohua?” Upon hearing her name, Lin Chen was overjoyed. With Zhao Xiaohua’s help, Lin Chen felt even more confident.

After fully understanding the situation with the Flower of Life, Lin Chen was becoming impatient. The girls under his command were too weak, and he had to hurry up with their training.

”By the way, what brings you here to see me?” Xue Ying suddenly asked.

Lin Chen said: ”Recently, I exterminated the entire Zhang family, and their assets ended up with a friend and me. However, we are not good at managing them, so I wanted to entrust it to you.”

”You guy, to think you wiped out the Zhang family, one of Zhonghai’s four major families, overnight. That’s incredibly strong. Don’t worry; I’ll take care of it,” Xue Ying responded.

After finishing up with business, Black Demon courteously said: ”Sister Ying, you and Brother Chen continue, I’ll take my leave first.”

Although Black Demon left, the passion from before was no longer there between the two of them.

”Never mind, hurry up and find a way to get the Flower of Life. Xiaowen is still lying in bed,” Xue Ying sighed.

Lin Chen nodded: ”Don’t worry, no matter who the opponent is, I will get the Flower of Life.”

The next day, Lin Chen arrived at the training ground early in the morning, but today only seven people showed up.

”Where’s Gao Qi?” Lin Chen asked with a cold look in his eyes.

”Gao Qi, it seems like she wants to quit the basketball team,” Jiang Qian said with a troubled expression.

”Why?” Lin Chen asked curiously.

Wang Zixuan said from the side: ”Yesterday, while we were cleaning up the stuff in the basketball gym, she seemed to have seen something. Then her complexion changed, and she ended up crying alone in a corner. Later that night, she told us she would quit the basketball team, and she doesn’t answer our calls either.”

After hearing what Wang Zixuan had said, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. What on earth did Gao Qi see that made her make such a decision?

Among these girls, Gao Qi, who came from a poor family, was sensible and resolute, and had a certain tenacity that Lin Chen really admired.

Moreover, Lin Chen could feel during training that Gao Qi loved basketball. But now she had chosen to quit, which Lin Chen found hard to understand.

”You all start with dribbling practice, I’ll check on you later,” Lin Chen instructed several team members before he walked into the resource room.

It didn’t take long for Lin Chen to find an old newspaper: ”The headline read that the captain of the Zhonghai University’s genius basketball team unexpectedly quit, to the great regret of all circles.”

At the bottom of the newspaper were a few teardrops, and upon seeing the photo of the captain, Lin Chen recognized at a glance that the basketball captain was Gao Qi’s father.

”So that’s how it is! Could there be some story behind this?” Lin Chen wondered as he left the reading room.

After a day’s training, Lin Chen went straight to Gao Qi’s home.

Gao Qi’s home was in a shanty area. Some time ago, Lin Chen gave them a sum of money, which finally allowed them to have their own storefront, and they could expand the scale of their barbecue business.

Just arriving at the newly opened store of Gao Qi’s family, Lin Chen frowned.

He saw a dozen or so flashy-dressed youths standing at the freshly renovated storefront, with Gao Qi’s father Gao Shan arguing with a blonde-haired young leader.

”Brother Xiao Fei, this protection fee is way too high. Our monthly income might not even reach ten thousand,” Gao Shan pleaded.

”Come on, you’ve got such a big storefront and no money? Tell you what, it’s ten thousand every month, not a cent less, otherwise don’t even think about running this barbecue place,” the blonde-haired guy snorted coldly.

”Aren’t you just bullying people?” Gao Shan said angrily.

This gang had been extorting protection money from Gao Qi’s family when they were running a street stall before, where they only paid five hundred a month. But now, this Brother Xiao Fei had suddenly raised the sum to ten thousand in one go, something Gao Shan naturally couldn’t agree to.

”Don’t be so shameless, old man. It’s the same words: if you want to keep your shop, pay up the protection money to the last cent, or I can guarantee you won’t have a single customer,” the blonde-haired guy said with a chilly face.

”You guys are really too bullying, I definitely can’t afford ten thousand, do whatever you please,” Gao Shan said coldly.

”Damn, you dare to be tough with me? Today I’ll teach you a lesson, so you’ll know how many eyes the Prince has.”

With that, the blonde-haired guy swung his hand to slap Gao Shan’s face.

Just as Gao Shan tried to dodge, his arm was already firmly held by the underlings of the blonde-haired guy.

Just as the blonde-haired guy’s fully swung hand was about to hit Gao Shan’s face, suddenly his hand stopped in mid-air, a cold voice rang out: ”Damn, daring to cause trouble in my player’s barbecue joint, are you sick of living?”

”Who is it, seeking death?” When the blonde-haired guy turned to see Lin Chen behind him, he immediately burst into angry cursing.
