Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2296: Chapter 2297: The Reason (Fifth Update)

Every time Pan Su saw Lin Chen, for some reason, he couldn’t control his anger. Now, after being provoked by Lin Chen, it was even worse. If Liu Qinghan weren’t present, Pan Su might have rushed to confront Lin Chen.

”No matter the truth of the matter, let’s set this aside for now and talk about it after the official business is settled.”

Liu Qinghan said.

”But Sect Master, if we don’t imprison him in the water dungeon, and he continues to harm the sect’s disciples, what then? It would be disastrous for the inner courtyard if a fire breaks out...”

Hearing this, Pan Su hurriedly leaned over and whispered in Liu Qinghan’s ear, clearly determined not to let Lin Chen off easily.

”Then, by that logic, your disciple also has suspicions. Shouldn’t he be imprisoned as well?”

Although Pan Su’s voice wasn’t loud, Chen Lin, who was strong, heard it clearly and immediately retorted, showing disdain.

”Old Chen, why do you always go against me?”

Pan Su shouted angrily.

”Really? Yet, I feel it was you who started this.”

Chen Lin squinted, already filled with anger due to Chen Jie, and now facing Pan Su, he wouldn’t have a friendly expression.

The atmosphere instantly became confrontational, making Liu Qinghan feel a headache. He raised his hand to rub his forehead and let out a faint sigh.

If it weren’t for the sect’s sacred artifact, how would he allow Pan Su to be so overbearing?

”Enough, both of you say less. How about this...”

Liu Qinghan quickly said, ”Since Lin Chen staying is a big problem, let him search for the medicinal herb required to treat Chen Jie. This way, we can avoid the situation you mentioned of the backyard catching fire.”

”As for Tao Yuyu, you take him along to retrieve the sect’s sacred artifact.”

”Letting him go alone is like letting a tiger return to the wild. I think he should be imprisoned first. After retrieving the sacred artifact, we can discuss the matter of the medicinal herb later.”

Pan Su was somewhat dissatisfied with this arrangement. He pursed his lips, and his face, covered with wrinkles, carried a stubborn expression, as if he wouldn’t be satisfied until Lin Chen was placed in the water dungeon.

”Old Pan, don’t you use your brain? If he really wanted to leave, why did he come back? Or do you not have a brain at all?” Chen Lin sneered.

”You’re the one without a brain!”

Pan Su glared angrily and then looked at Lin Chen, pondering Chen Lin’s words for a moment. Afterward, he stammered, ”Maybe because Lin Chen doesn’t know the situation here yet. Now that he knows the situation has changed, what if he tries to escape? Can you take responsibility for that kind of blame?”

”Alright, if that’s the case, then let Shadow follow.”

As Liu Qinghan spoke, a wave of energy suddenly appeared behind him. The air there subtly shifted, and then the presence at Lin Chen’s side disappeared again.

Lin Chen was shocked, feeling something behind him watching, but when he suddenly turned around, he couldn’t see any shadow—just emptiness.

In broad daylight, to not see even a hint of a shadow’s movement, suddenly floating from there to here, such strangeness couldn’t help but alarm Lin Chen, rightfully so.

Fortunately, this so-called Shadow didn’t have much malice, merely guarding behind Lin Chen, without further action.

”Now, you can be at ease.”

Liu Qinghan’s words carried a touch of coldness; faced with Pan Su’s repeated aggression, even with a good temper, Liu Qinghan couldn’t help but feel annoyed, especially as the sect’s master.

Perhaps hearing the hostility in Liu Qinghan’s tone, although Pan Su was unwilling, he could only clear his throat and awkwardly smile, saying, ”Sect Master is wise.”

Tao Yuyu’s gaze flickered, tightly observing Lin Chen, who was similarly scrutinizing Tao Yuyu.

Although he didn’t know what had happened, somehow this matter couldn’t be unrelated to Tao Yuyu.

”Since that’s the case, you both set off.”

Liu Qinghan said, addressing Pan Su.

Originally, Pan Su should have gone, but upon hearing Lin Chen was back, he insisted on coming here. Liu Qinghan did this to stabilize his mood and let him first search for the sacred artifact.

”Then, I shall take my leave.”

Pan Su said, stepping back a few steps, then signaled to Tao Yuyu beside him, quickly moving into the distance, not forgetting to cast a fierce glare at Chen Lin.

Chen Lin responded with a cold stare; their relationship grew increasingly cold, and tearing off their masks wouldn’t matter.

Sigh.

Seeing them leave, Liu Qinghan shook his head somewhat helplessly and sighed gently.

”Sect Master seems to have some untold matters?”

This relaxed appearance only emerged after Pan Su and the others had left, and Lin Chen noticed, immediately asking.

”You have keen eyes. But it’s not something untoward, just a compromise made out of helplessness.”

Liu Qinghan looked at Lin Chen in surprise, evidently not expecting Lin Chen to have such sharp discernment.

Lin Chen chuckled softly, saying, ”Otherwise, the Sect Master wouldn’t have been dealing with them for so long.”

Initially, Lin Chen thought Liu Qinghan had been fooled by Pan Su and his disciple, but judging by Liu Qinghan’s attitude now, it seemed that wasn’t the case.

”It’s an unavoidable situation, otherwise, they wouldn’t peacefully go to search for the sect’s sacred artifact.”

Liu Qinghan sighed, then slowly explained to them.

The Green Ripple Sect, along with Liu Qinghan today, had four sect masters in total; the first had already ascended to the divine realm, and the second was Pan Su’s ancestor.

Pan Su’s ancestor, named Pan Zhengyan, was the second-generation master of the Green Ripple Sect, possessing significant strength.

The so-called sect sacred artifact was passed down by the first sect master but was greatly developed by Pan Zhengyan, offering him the ability to connect to the divine realm.

Because of this sacred artifact, Pan Zhengyan’s ascension was delayed many years, but it also led the Green Ripple Sect to prosperity.

Later, however, Pan Zhengyan realized the artifact’s power was too destructive, so he sealed it away; only in times of sect crisis is it brought out, unknown to his clansmen.

This is the reason Liu Qinghan was compelled by Pan Su.

”Divine realm!”

Lin Chen wasn’t interested in the various factors involved but hearing about the divine realm made him clench his fists, his gaze flickering determinedly.
