Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2474: Chapter 2475: Staying Behind

The old man looked somewhat troubled; after hesitating for a moment, he still spoke up.

”If you’re going, that girl must stay. She cannot go with you.”

Lin Chen of course knew what he meant. If Xiao Ying really stayed in this place, in the depths of these wild mountains she very likely would run into danger, which was something he absolutely could not feel at ease about.

Back then Lin Chen had made all kinds of promises before her father, saying he would definitely take good care of her; no matter where he went in the future, he would never abandon her. How could a man go back on his word?

”No. I absolutely can’t do that. I have to take her with me.”

”If you insist on taking her, then the two of us don’t need to go at all.”

The Medical Immortal’s attitude was extremely firm, with no room for negotiation. His meaning was already clear enough: under no circumstances could she be allowed to go along.

As much as Lin Chen felt repulsed in his heart, he was even more curious as to why this girl couldn’t go with him.

”Why can’t I take her? Isn’t it better for her to follow me? What happens if she runs into danger alone here?”

”That’s the rule. If you insist on taking her, I’ve no objection, but I can guarantee you absolutely won’t awaken—this trip will be for nothing. And you only get this one chance to awaken.”

Lin Chen’s attitude remained just as resolute; he would never back down. Just as he was feeling torn over this matter, Xiao Ying suddenly walked over from behind.

She had already heard every word of what the two of them had just said.

Just now, seeing the two of them sneak mysteriously into the cave, she had followed out of curiosity.

She had heard their entire conversation clearly, which was why she came over now.

She could not let him delay his journey and future because of her, so she had to make a decisive choice.

When Lin Chen saw Xiao Ying standing in front of him, he was a bit surprised; he thought she had come to reproach him, and he felt somewhat guilty inside. After all, if he really abandoned her and went to that place alone, it truly would be his fault.

”Just go. I support you.”

The old man, hearing this at the side, stroked his beard and nodded with great satisfaction. Clearly, he very much approved of this girl’s behavior.

Then the old man stretched out his hand, took something out, and handed it to her. When Lin Chen took the object from the old man’s hand and looked, he found it was a bead.

Although Lin Chen didn’t know what wondrous use this bead had, the moment he gripped it tightly in his hand, he could feel a powerful force gradually spreading out.

He quickly turned around to look at the little Xiao Ying behind him.

”What you just said—was that for real? You truly want me to go?”

”I’m already this grown; do you still not trust me?”

Lin Chen felt that what she said did make sense. After all, she’d grown up; perhaps it really was time to give her a chance to temper herself.

”Young man, stop worrying. The item I gave you is a rather miraculous magical treasure. As long as this girl holds it in her hand, ordinary demons and monsters absolutely won’t dare to harm her.”

Lin Chen took the old man’s words to heart. After all, such a treasure was not something ordinary people could possess, and the power it radiated did indeed carry a sense of being unprecedented.

”I don’t know what special use this thing has.”

Lin Chen handed the bead in his hand to the girl in front of him; she received it, then held it in her hand and carefully examined it.

”I’ll tell you now how to use this bead. Grip it tightly in your hand, then pour all of your strength into it.”

Xiao Ying, hearing this, didn’t say a word. She gripped the bead that was emitting a green glow tightly, and kept channeling her strength into it. After a while, she was astonished to discover that many powerful figures had appeared all around.

These people looked all different, but each one held an extremely formidable weapon in hand. Seeing these experts appear before her left her bewildered inside; she didn’t know who these powerful figures were, or why they had come here.

”Old sir, these people, they are...”

”These people are my subordinates. As long as you possess this bead, you can summon them. If you encounter danger, they can appear at any time and place to protect you. Do you understand?”

Hearing this, Xiao Ying deeply agreed, gripping the bead in her hand tightly. She was elated beyond measure; she had never imagined she would actually receive such a treasure.

Lin Chen still felt somewhat uneasy. These people looked fierce and formidable, but he didn’t yet know how capable they truly were.

”Old sir, I still have a presumptuous request. I hope you can grant it.”

The old man turned to look at him, curiosity in his eyes. He didn’t know why this young man still had misgivings.

”Young man, tell me: what else are you uneasy about? Just say it.”

”I hope you can show me how powerful these people actually are. I’m afraid their abilities are just talk.”

Lin Chen’s concern was not without reason. After all, though the people around them looked valiant and robust, no one knew what their actual strength was.

At that moment, a man whose whole body radiated red light took a step forward. He suddenly took out a gigantic iron hammer from his hand and then struck at a tall mountain not far ahead.

Red light flashed around the hammer. When it met that towering Gao Shan in the distance, the majestic Gao Shan was instantly leveled to the ground. One had to know that this Gao Shan was over a thousand zhang high.

The sight before her made the girl at the side shudder inwardly; she had never imagined that this man in red would be so powerful. She had to admit he was truly a formidable expert.

At first Lin Chen had been worried, fearing that the item the old man produced was just something to casually fob people off with. But now it seemed he had indeed used a petty mind to judge a gentleman. Thinking this, he finally let out a breath.

”Old sir, I offended you just now; I hope you can forgive me. Since she has these masters protecting her, I no longer need to worry.” Lin Chen said calmly.
