Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2386: Chapter 2387: Breaking the Seal

The events of the past made Pan Yan feel somewhat guilty towards Pan Su, so even with Pan Su’s previous behavior, Pan Yan did not become very angry because, in his eyes, he was indebted to Pan Su.

However, whether Pan Su appreciated it was another matter.

After hearing him speak, although Lin Chen felt that judging right or wrong in such a manner seemed overly arbitrary, Lin Chen was after all a bad person, and naturally he couldn’t say much. He sensibly maintained silence, quietly waiting for Pan Yan’s next words.

Beside him, the previously talkative Xiao Ying was now also sensibly keeping silent. In Pan Yan’s current emotional state, she dared not speak much either. She tactfully used her handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corner of Pan Yan’s eyes, helping him recover slightly from his sorrowful mood.

”Xiao Ying, go out and play for a while. Come back after we finish discussing our matters.”

After a moment, Pan Yan spoke so, clearly not wanting Xiao Ying to hear the next conversation.

Xiao Ying opened her mouth, nearly ready to speak, but she saw the stern expression on Pan Yan’s face, and couldn’t help but purse her lips, finally giving Pan Yan a deep look before leaving the hall.

Pan Yan also watched as Xiao Ying walked out from here.

As he watched Xiao Ying’s figure grow more distant, only then did Pan Yan let out a long sigh, as if relieved of a burden.

Some words should not be heard by a girl of barely ten years old.

”Senior, now there are no outsiders. If there is something, please speak.” Lin Chen cupped his hands and bowed solemnly.

Considering Pan Yan’s past words and how he sent Xiao Ying away now, Lin Chen could foresee that what Pan Yan was about to say, naturally would not be a simple matter.

”The matter is indeed somewhat difficult.”

For a long time, Pan Yan seemed to be in deep thought before he raised his head, his eyes revealing a heavy expression. It was clear that what he was about to say was no simple matter.

”Right now in the Pan family, a whole large clan, only I am still alive. If I die, that sacred artifact in the sect might be left unable to be activated...”

Pan Yan spoke slowly, then glanced apologetically at Liu Qinghan.

The sacred artifact in the sect was not originally like this. Of course, its displayed power was far from what it is now.

The one who brought about all of this was the ancestor of the Pan family, who improved the sacred artifact to give it more power and the ability to communicate with the divine realm.

He had to admit that the ancestor of the Pan family was a highly talented person.

But there was also a downside, which was that since then, the sacred artifact had been entirely controlled by the Pan family. This was exactly the selfishness of that person, so he could maintain the Pan family’s everlasting fame. Even without holding the position of Sect Master, he could have a place within the sect. However, he never anticipated this change.

This led to the current situation where Pan Yan and Pan Su were unmarried, without children, and their bloodline seemed to have ended with them.

Now Pan Su is dead, leaving only Pan Yan with a frail body. If Pan Yan passes away, the bloodline of the Pan family would be completely severed, not to mention the sacred artifact, which would essentially be useless.

This is the pros and cons of the situation.

It is precisely because Pan Yan deeply understands this point that he looks at Liu Qinghan in such a way.

”There’s no need to dredge up old matters. Furthermore, it’s not your fault.”

Liu Qinghan spoke slowly, saying that this issue ultimately involves ancestors and holds little significance discussing it now. After all, who truly understands right from wrong in this matter?

”In any case, the situation has developed into this. The only thing that can be done is to continue passing on the sacred artifact.”

Pan Yan coughed a few times. This artifact had been managed by the Pan family all along, but now the Pan family cannot continue its guardianship. Naturally, it must be returned to the Sect Master’s hands of the Green Ripple Sect.

Lin Chen listened clearly, and he also had a basic understanding in his mind.

Pan Yan’s arrival this time was likely because he knew about Pan Su’s situation, thus preparing to remove the existing restriction on the sacred artifact and then return it to the Green Ripple Sect. That should be the issue.

But Lin Chen was also puzzled about why he was being involved in this matter, as it seemed unrelated to him.

”Removing this restriction is a very troublesome task. I can’t do it alone.”

Pan Yan coughed lightly as he explained slowly. This was the restriction set by the Pan family’s ancestor. It’s extremely troublesome to remove now, given the power of the ancestor placed there. To remove it, immense effort and resources are required.

”Is Senior asking for my assistance in breaking this restriction together?”

Lin Chen frowned slightly, feeling a little confused. Despite his increase in strength, he understood his own limitations; how could he possibly help?

”Indeed, this task is somewhat troublesome. However, among the juniors, you’re the only one familiar. Moreover, hearing from the Sect Master that during your confrontations with the Demon Sect, you’ve repeatedly stood out, your strength is evident.”

Pan Yan nodded slowly, addressing Lin Chen.

When coming here, he had already heard Liu Qinghan’s evaluation of Lin Chen. This evaluation wasn’t just what Liu Qinghan witnessed firsthand but also from the shadows dispatched earlier, which had very high praise.

This naturally led to a good judgment. Originally coming here, Pan Yan didn’t plan on relying on Lin Chen for assistance, but the evaluations by Liu Qinghan and others guided him to this decision.

After all, Pan Yan had come here with this very purpose in mind. Initially intending to search further, that now seemed unnecessary.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen lightly rubbed his nose. Regarding the Demon Sect matter, there were times he himself wasn’t sure of the process, as mysterious forces within him surfaced without clear reason, as they did before.

Whether it was due to his own reasons or external forces, Lin Chen could not ascertain. With his current strength, he couldn’t fathom the appearance of the Evil Qi within him.

Yet Lin Chen couldn’t declare these matters openly. Even if he did, whether they believed him or not was another matter, while on the other hand, it would expose some of Lin Chen’s secrets, which was not a worthwhile trade-off.

Therefore, Lin Chen naturally didn’t argue, only offering a bitter smile without speaking.

”We don’t know when Lu Kang will recover, so let’s handle this matter as quickly as possible.”
