Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 1308: Chapter 1309: The Sloppy Uncle

Lin Chen looked at Ashi in his arms and gave a faint smile, ”Of course!”

Ashi’s face lit up with a happy smile, ”Just your words are enough.”

”Ashi, if you tell me so much and your Alliance Hierarch finds out...”

Ashi smiled lightly, ”I’m betraying Yuan Tiangang, not the Alliance Hierarch, and do you think for so many confidential things, why would the Alliance Hierarch tell me?”

”Are you saying he wants to use you to relay this information to me, and then sit back and watch the fight?” Lin Chen squinted his eyes.

Ashi nodded, ”Maybe, but I’m telling you Yuan Tiangang’s background not to make you seek revenge on him; rather, I’m hoping you won’t provoke him. Even our Alliance Hierarch is somewhat wary of that guy.”

Lin Chen smiled wryly. His relationship with Ashi was very awkward. They should have been enemies, yet they were so close, and indeed trusted each other unconditionally, making sacrifices for each other.

”Ashi, thank you,” Lin Chen said sincerely.

”I only know this much about Yuan Tiangang, and I hope it can help you. I still maintain, if you can avoid provoking that old guy, do so.” Ashi looked at Lin Chen seriously and said.

Lin Chen smiled indifferently, ”I made a promise just like that to that girl, so no matter how strong he is, I have to meet him.”

Ashi shook her head, ”You’re something else. I can’t get involved in this matter, so I can’t help you, but you might want to pay attention to the recent viral news about the epidemic in Qinjialing; maybe you’ll find clues.”

Saying that, Ashi leapt and disappeared into the jungle in a few flashes.

Qinjialing epidemic?

Lin Chen was taken aback. He seemed to have heard Xia Xiner mention that she went there with her unit’s medical team.

Back when Xia Xiner mentioned it, he thought it was just a regular epidemic; however, Ashi asked him to pay attention to this news, so there must be something amiss.

Lin Chen quickly found news about the Qinjialing epidemic on his phone.

In a small village near West City in the Qinling Mountains, an epidemic suddenly broke out.

This epidemic came very unexpectedly, and all the patients infected suffered from body ulcers, looking extremely frightening.

The small village had over four hundred people, all without exception struck down by the epidemic.

The village is now isolated; epidemic prevention personnel enter the mountain village wearing heavy protective gear.

”Could this epidemic be related to Yuan Tiangang?” Lin Chen squinted his eyes.

Lin Chen left the jungle, drove straight towards Qinjialing.

Qinjialing was about more than two hours from West City; after leaving the highway, it was a rugged mountain road.

As Lin Chen was driving forward, he suddenly saw someone lying in the middle of the road.

”Oh dear, is this a scam or a robbery?” Lin Chen was stunned for a moment and stopped the car four or five meters from the person.

Upon seeing the car stop, the person dusted himself off and stood up.

”Uncle, what’s the meaning of lying in the middle of the road, are you trying to scam me?” Lin Chen said speechlessly.

This uncle was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, his face unkempt with a scraggly beard, emitting an unpleasant odor.

The uncle pulled out a Peach Wood Sword from his tattered Taoist robe.

”Young fellow, do you recognize this Peach Wood Sword?” the uncle said mysteriously.

Lin Chen glanced at it; the Peach Wood Sword was just an ordinary wooden sword, not even made of peach wood.

”I don’t recognize it.” Lin Chen shook his head and said.

”Boy, I am a Taoist from Maoshan; this Peach Wood Sword was left by our ancestor. When a thousand-year-old fox demon appeared in the Qinling, our ancestor battled the demon for ten days and nights, relying on this Demon-slaying Sword to slay the fox demon,” the uncle said.

”Oh wow, so this Demon-slaying Sword is quite powerful.” Lin Chen chuckled.

”Of course, such a powerful Demon-slaying Sword, I’m selling it for only 9999 yuan, how about it?” the uncle said excitedly.

While speaking, the uncle showed a reluctant expression and stroked the Peach Wood Sword in his hand: ”Ah, this Demon-slaying Sword was left by the ancestor, if it weren’t for repairing the temple, how could I bear to sell it.”

”This Peach Wood Sword is a bit expensive!” Lin Chen shook his head.

”Expensive? No problem, I see there is fate between us; I’ll sell this sword to you for 999 yuan.” The uncle said as if he made a big decision.

Lin Chen gave a faint smile, ”That’s still kind of expensive; you see, I’m just a student.”

”Forget it, you seem sincere, so I’ll make it even cheaper, 99 yuan, no less.” The uncle said seriously.

”You’re selling a Demon-slaying Sword that can kill a thousand-year-old fox demon for only 99 yuan?” Lin Chen made a shocked face.

”I’m having a promotional sale.” The uncle said lightly.

”The thing is nice, sorry, I’m not interested, Uncle, I need to get on with my trip, please step aside.” Lin Chen really didn’t have the patience to keep messing around with the uncle.

”If the price is an issue, we can talk, how about 9.9 yuan?” The uncle hurriedly said when he saw Lin Chen turning to get back into his car.

”Forget it, take your wooden sword and keep fooling others, pal is really busy.” Saying that, Lin Chen got into the car getting ready to start the vehicle.

”Did you say I’m fooling you? That’s too much, bro is a person of stature, would I fool you, brat?” the uncle said coldly, feeling his self-esteem wounded.

”You have stature?” Lin Chen looked the uncle up and down.

If this uncle was a swindler, he’d believe it, but other than that, he’d be hard-pressed to believe.

The uncle assumed a mysterious air and said, ”Dude’s from the higher-ups?”

”I know you’re an immortal, banished to earth, right? Master, please go back to the heavens and fool people there.” Lin Chen said speechlessly.

”Kid, when I say I’m from the higher-ups, I mean I’m from the country; I’m from the Dragon Group.” Saying that, the uncle puffed up with pride.

”Dragon Group?” Lin Chen was amused immediately.

”Uncle, that’s not even a funny joke.”

”Come on, kid, let me show you my work ID.” Saying that, the uncle handed over a work ID to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen opened it and saw a handsome young man named Wu Tianshi, with the Dragon Group’s official seal marked on it.

”The ID is real, but is that you?” The handsome young man in the photo was vastly different from this scruffy uncle.

”Of course it is, don’t look at how scruffy uncle is now, back then he was a young stud, that photo was when I first entered the Dragon Group.” The uncle said proudly.

”Alright, Uncle, so what’s the idea of lying in the middle of the road?” Lin Chen asked puzzledly.

”Isn’t it about catching a ride? I didn’t bring money, the driver threw me off halfway and ignored me; I tried selling him this Demon-slaying Sword but he didn’t want it. A few cars drove by later and wouldn’t stop even when I tried to flag them down, so I just lay in the middle of the road out of frustration.” The uncle said gloomily.

Lin Chen was speechless, this uncle was truly a character.
