Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2388: Chapter 2389: Transformation

Indeed, that’s true. Pan Yan’s previous words deeply touched Xiao Ying. Not only because of Pan Yan’s experiences, but also because she herself is an orphan.

She wonders whether her parents might have gone through similar hardships, which led to her becoming an orphan.

This was something she had never considered before, but thinking about it now genuinely left her feeling somewhat melancholic. Hearing Pan’s impatient narrative also struck a chord in her. In that instant, Xiao Ying felt as if she had grown up, losing the desire to play amidst such emotions.

Seeing this, Lin Chen refrained from saying much, choosing instead to quietly accompany her for a while longer.

Not long after, Pan Yan finally came out. His figure was slightly hunched, shielding his eyes from the glaring sun with his craggy hands as he looked up.

”Grandpa!”

Xiao Ying called out as she abandoned Xiao Bai, running towards Pan Yan.

In such a short time, it seemed as if Xiao Ying had been away from Pan Yan for ages. She rushed over and buried herself in his embrace.

”What’s wrong?”

Pan Yan fondly patted Xiao Ying’s head, showing great affection.

Xiao Ying shook her head without saying much, simply gazing at him with watery eyes, as if deeply attached to him.

”Come on, I’ll take you for a tour, as I’ve never been here before myself.”

Pan Yan said, preparing to take Xiao Ying for a walk around. He noticed that Xiao Ying seemed emotionally unsettled.

This time, Xiao Ying didn’t resist and followed his arrangement, trailing behind Pan Yan.

”Would you like to join us, young man?”

Pan Yan turned to ask Lin Chen.

”No, thank you.”

Lin Chen shook his head. Initially, he worried Xiao Ying might feel uncomfortable here, but now with Pan Yan present, Lin Chen didn’t need to guide them anymore.

”I’ve got some matters to handle.”

Lin Chen explained to Pan Yan.

Indeed, time was pressing, leaving him no room for idle thoughts.

”Alright then.”

Pan Yan understood Lin Chen’s intent. Without further persuasion, he nodded in agreement.

”Come on, Xiao Bai, why are you still hesitating?”

Lin Chen raised his eyebrows at Xiao Bai, puzzled at how it had reappeared with Pan Yan after vanishing in the Green Ripple Sect for so long.

Lin Chen crouched down, stroking Xiao Bai’s fur. He didn’t intend to scold Xiao Bai, for within the Green Ripple Sect, unlike outside, danger wasn’t lurking at every turn, allowing Xiao Bai to run freely without issue.

This indeed brought some benefits.

Previously, Xiao Bai harbored immense hostility towards humans, but after spending time with people, it learned there are differences among them.

With a soft chirp, Xiao Bai snuggled against Lin Chen’s leg, showing an adorable insight. Its current small form lacked the imposing might of its larger self, making it irresistibly cute, which explained why people like Chen Jie adored it.

”I’ll first visit Chen Jie to check on the situation, then pay a visit to Master Wang Hao.”

Lin Chen thought, having missed a chance to meet Wang Hao after returning earlier, he now had the time to see him, wondering if he was still training in the attic.

...

Chen Jie was resting as usual, having only awakened briefly during which Lin Chen wasn’t present. Nonetheless, seeing Chen Lin’s face reassured Lin Chen that Chen Jie’s injuries were significantly better, bringing him great relief.

Lin Chen let Xiao Bai remain there and proceeded towards the attic.

The attic, being a key sect location, housed countless collections, and Lin Chen couldn’t bring Xiao Bai along, as the prohibitions alone wouldn’t allow it inside.

In the familiar attic, Lin Chen searched for a familiar figure.

People were as numerous as ever, gathered to study the numerous Cultivation Techniques. They diligently attempted to comprehend the obscure characters left by their ancestors.

And in a corner, there was quite an unkempt figure, though only middle-aged, his hair and beard grew freely, drifting around him.

The person was unmistakably Wang Hao.

No one knew how long he had been here, but by the looks of it, it seemed to be at least several months. Lin Chen quietly speculated.

”Master.”

Lin Chen approached and made a respectful salutation, his voice full of reverence and gratitude.

It was due to remembering a scene from the spirit realm where Wang Hao appeared abruptly in black attire. It was hard for Lin Chen to believe there was no connection to him, profoundly touching Lin Chen.

Moreover, the sword techniques taught by Wang Hao saved him from peril more than once, and this reverence was well-deserved.

”Not bad, you’ve made progress.”

Wang Hao glanced over, noting Lin Chen’s significant growth in Cultivation Technique, and hid his surprise as he withdrew his gaze.

”Thanks to your guidance, master,” Lin Chen humbly replied, though the sword techniques taught caused genuine enlightenment during battles.

”I didn’t teach you that. My progress isn’t as quick as yours.”

Wang Hao commented quietly.

Indeed, Wang Hao’s advancement paled compared to Lin Chen’s. Being middle-aged, unlike Lin Chen in his prime, further advancing his strength proved exceptionally challenging for Wang Hao.

Still, he wasn’t bothered, dedicating himself to refining the sword techniques, striving for maximum potential in his current cultivation.

This tranquil mindset, rare in others, might not be easily observed.

Lin Chen shook his head, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, understanding well that Wang Hao’s real power couldn’t be assessed based on cultivation alone.

Just the force unleashed by a single strike was beyond Lin Chen’s ability. He was merely at the starting level and had a long way to mastery.

Yet Wang Hao had already achieved perfection.

”Though your cultivation has improved, I wonder if your sword skills have grown.”

Wang Hao suddenly remarked, his eyes filled with challenge and intensity.

”Please, master, teach me!” Lin Chen understood his intent and respectfully saluted.
