Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2137: Chapter 2138: The Stranger

As Qian Ning gradually moved away under the support of a few people, the building where Lin Chen lived seemed to return to its original silence.

However, he was not in a hurry and continued to quietly stay in place for a while because he sensed that there were still some auras locking onto him.

This was not a feeling brought on by Lin Chen’s cultivation of spiritual techniques, but rather a keen intuition developed from countless battles.

Qian Ning, supported by a few people, passed by a patch of greenery and moved away from Lin Chen’s building, after which a few figures slowly emerged from behind a tree.

”Brother Zhao, what do you think of this person?”

The three stood side by side, not paying the slightest attention to Qian Ning’s group, but rather gazing through the bamboo forest at the building where Lin Chen resided.

”The spiritual energy is weak, just decent physical strength. It seems to be just like those who returned with him said.” One person responded slowly, speaking in a calm tone, but with a slightly raised head, showing a hint of arrogance.

”What’s the use of having a strong body? If it were me, even with just a small wound, I could make him feel despair!” Another spoke disdainfully, curling his lips, and then coldly glared at Qian Ning’s group, scolding, ”Useless!”

Under this glare, Qian Ning’s group broke into a cold sweat, quickly lowering their heads, their eyes flickering.

The previous provocation was indeed instigated by the people in front of them. It was to see what the person brought back by the elder could do, but they did not expect Qian Ning’s group to be so useless.

They couldn’t even scratch Lin Chen.

”After all, their cultivation is low,” the arrogant person glanced at Qian Ning disdainfully and said, ”But that’s good too. The stronger he is, the more interesting it is for us to crush him.”

After speaking, a hint of a cruel smile appeared on their faces.

Meanwhile, in Lin Chen’s dwelling, after the aura around Lin Chen gradually dissipated, someone suddenly called out.

”Please wait.” A man in a green robe stood outside the door. The bamboo door was hardly taller than the man’s shoulder as he stared inside at Lin Chen, continuously waving his hand inside.

”What’s the matter?” Lin Chen asked faintly.

”May I come in to speak?” The man asked with a shallow smile, his tone filled with inquiry.

”Then please.”

Lin Chen also smiled, perhaps due to the man’s attitude, he developed a slight fondness for him.

”You must be Lin Chen, whom the elder brought back.”

The man entered, sitting across from Lin Chen, taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

”Oh? You know me?” Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He had only been at the Green Ripple Sect for two days, and someone already knew him, which was quite puzzling.

”How could I not know?” The man laughed heartily: ”Cultivating in the Green Ripple Sect is dull, so whenever the disciples return from trials bringing some anecdotes, they are spread far and wide. When you walk to a place, even if you don’t want to hear, you can’t avoid it.”

”Then this time, the anecdote is about me?” Lin Chen realized.

”Indeed,” the man nodded and said, ”but no matter how exaggerated the rumors, they’re not as impressive as seeing you in person. Those fellow disciples say you can withstand an elder’s strike with just your physical strength, which seems too unbelievable.”

”So that’s why trouble came looking for me so quickly,” Lin Chen said calmly, sipping his tea.

”Yes, partly to test and partly for this place,” the man said with a light smile. ”The spiritual energy here is abundant, making it very conducive for cultivation. Many people covet it. However, with the existence of the Azure Dragon Society, their people would take turns residing here for cultivation, and others dared not come due to their power.”

”Azure Dragon Society?” Lin Chen frowned; it seemed that Qian Ning’s group was under someone else’s control. Lin Chen wasn’t worried, just concerned that such constant trouble-seekers would disrupt his cultivation time.

”The Azure Dragon Society was initially just a place for disciples to gather and occasionally exchange cultivation insights. But over time, this guild has changed its nature, becoming a place filled with all kinds of people, more like a bandit gang,” the man laughed disdainfully.

”Is that so?” Lin Chen tapped the table lightly and spoke softly, ”If they don’t continue to provoke me, that’s fine. But if they do, I’ll just have to drive them away again.”

The man looked at Lin Chen’s calm demeanor, shook his head lightly, and said, ”Even if the current Azure Dragon Society has become a haven for ruffians, you shouldn’t underestimate it, especially the three leaders.”

With a serious tone, the man continued, ”Their strength should not be underestimated. It’s just that due to special circumstances, they can’t make a move, otherwise, it might not have been Qian Ning and these useless ones who showed up this time.”

Lin Chen nodded; to become the top guild in the sect naturally meant they shouldn’t be underestimated. Otherwise, with their rampant personalities, they’d have long been destroyed, not feared by everyone.

Lin Chen understood the principle of might makes right.

”Brother, please be cautious. Those people aren’t good; deception and ambush are commonplace for them, so be alert,” the man advised after finishing his tea and got up to leave.

”Thank you for your concern, I will be careful,” Lin Chen said with a light smile. He then asked, ”But aren’t you worried about reprisals from the Azure Dragon Society for advising me like this?”

”Compared to them, I’m more interested in making a good connection. From my observation, you are no ordinary person; just your demeanor of calmness is not something everyone possesses,” the man laughed and then cupped his fists towards Lin Chen, saying lightly, ”Farewell!”

As the man’s hearty laughter echoed, he strode out of the courtyard. Watching his departing figure, Lin Chen couldn’t help but mutter, ”What an interesting person. Just didn’t ask for his name.”

”Oops, I was so busy showing off, I forgot to mention my name,”

The man, taking a few steps away, patted his head as if realizing something. Glancing out of the corner of his eye towards the house, he muttered, ”Going back now seems too embarrassing, maybe next time.”

Sitting alone in the room, Lin Chen had to admit the man’s words gave him a reminder; openly visible threats are easy to dodge, but hidden ones are not. If someone poisoned the food, Lin Chen couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t be affected since he wasn’t familiar with the herbs and medicine here.
