Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2449: Chapter 2450: Take Action

Zheng He looked at Lin Chen with a gaze that was somewhat different from before. Initially, he had a bit of fondness for the young man before him, which was reflected in his eyes as admiration. But now, it had turned to anger.

Seeing the glowing stone in his disciple’s hand, Zheng He clenched his fists tightly, slightly trembling with rage. If not for exerting all his control, he would have already erupted.

Zhou Lie watched his master’s reaction with internal smugness.

”I ask you today, what do you have to say now that we have both witnesses and evidence?”

Lin Chen glanced at the stone that glowed blue, smiled slightly, and displayed a demeanor of calm and casualness.

”I maintain what I said, I truly don’t know why that stone is in my home,” Lin Chen replied.

Zhou Lie shouted upon hearing this.

”At this point, you still dare to quibble? You think you have a death wish, don’t you? You even dare to steal my master’s belongings.”

Zheng He possessed great skill and extraordinary talent, ranking among the top in this place.

To think that this young man before him would be so audacious as to steal from him.

”I stand by my statement, none of this has anything to do with me, and I don’t know why that stone is in my house.”

Zhou Lie immediately knelt before his master upon hearing this, bowing his head.

”Master, this guy has ill intentions, he’s despicable and shameless. If you let him go today, justice surely won’t stand for it.”

After hearing this, Zheng He looked up and sighed deeply, his voice tinged with disappointment and helplessness, before tightly clenching his fists.

”You brat, I trusted you so much, who knew you’d have the gall to do something so ungrateful? I definitely won’t let you off today.”

After saying this, Zheng He shouted loudly, tightly clenching his fists.

The other disciples watched the scene unfold, all wearing expressions of schadenfreude.

Even if this guy is skilled, so what?

Could he possibly be stronger than Master Zheng He? Everyone looked at the young man before them with a hint of mockery in their eyes, certain that today would be his end.

Lin Chen stood there unfazed, able to feel Zheng He’s power, knowing full well that his aura could not be matched by himself right now.

But he would not be afraid.

At that moment, a girl’s voice suddenly rang out from behind the house, and everyone turned towards it to see Xiao Ying standing there.

”Everyone, please listen to me. He definitely didn’t do this; it has nothing to do with him. You must believe in Brother Lin Chen,” Xiao Ying pleaded.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lie took a step forward with mockery in his eyes, extending his hand.

”You ask us to trust him in this situation, how can we? This guy is far too despicable and shameless.”

Lin Chen now finally understood what it means to have a crime unjustly attributed to you.

”Exactly, little girl. I can’t fathom why you would follow such a person. A guy like him should be eliminated sooner than later.”

Regardless of the venomous words from those around, she steadfastly stood by Lin Chen, refusing to believe he would do such heinous things.

”Stop spewing nonsense here, I absolutely don’t believe he’d do such a thing,” Xiao Ying retorted.

Zheng He’s gaze turned icy upon hearing this.

”I too was initially unwilling to believe it. But everything is just too coincidental. This item was found in his house, so is it not his doing, or did I secretly give it to him?” Zheng He questioned rhetorically.

Everyone fell silent.

”Elder, am I really such a despicable existence in your eyes?” Lin Chen asked with a smile.

His tone was filled with a touch of helplessness.

Zheng He Elder smiled faintly upon hearing this, then sighed deeply.

”To be honest, I too don’t want to believe that this is your doing, but this item was found in your house. How do you explain that?”

”Maybe someone is framing me,” Lin Chen replied coldly.

As Lin Chen said this, he glanced at Zhou Lie by his side.

The latter suddenly displayed a rather peculiar expression, swallowing nervously.

”What do you mean by that? I warn you not to slander here,” Zhou Lie warned.

”Some people know in their hearts whether it’s slander,” Lin Chen retorted.

Zheng He indeed held appreciation for Lin Chen, unwilling to believe all this was his doing.

”Young man, I will give you an opportunity. I give you three days. If within these three days you can find evidence proving your innocence, then this matter will be written off. If after three days you can’t, don’t blame me for being unkind,” Zheng He stated.

Hearing his master say this, Zhou Lie seemed somewhat disappointed.

He had hoped for a thrilling scene today, but now it came to this. He shook his head with a sigh, feeling particularly helpless.

”I say, why don’t you know how to appreciate this?” Zheng He shouted.

Upon hearing this, silence fell among everyone, uncertain of what to do.

”Alright, Elder, I promise you that within three days, I will uncover the truth and give you an explanation,” Lin Chen vowed.

Zheng He nodded in satisfaction at this, then turned away to leave the place.

If within three days Lin Chen doesn’t find the truth, it would undoubtedly lead to a critical confrontation between him and Zheng He.

With his current strength, Lin Chen was no match for Zheng He.

Zheng He regarded that treasured item in his possession as extremely important. If after three days they truly met in battle, Zheng He would undoubtedly fight with all his might, marking a grim fate for Lin Chen.

This was indeed quite a tricky problem to tackle.

”Brother Lin Chen, what on earth is going on? Why is his item in your room?”

Lin Chen smiled calmly, displaying an air of poise and freedom.

”It’s nothing. If I’m not mistaken, this is all the doing of his ’good disciple’,” Lin Chen said.

Xiao Ying appeared somewhat perplexed upon hearing this, raising her head to look at Lin Chen, unable to understand why he spoke this way.

”Why do you say that?”

”Because the incident last night was such a humiliation for him, he must have been seeking revenge,” Lin Chen explained with helplessness.
