Super Strong Little Divine Farmer

Chapter 2334: Chapter 2335: Invitation

Originally, he’d arranged for Jiang Husheng to come back first and prepare the Spirit Grass for Lin Chen, precisely because he was afraid Jiang Husheng would provoke Lin Chen on the road and cause unnecessary trouble.

But he hadn’t expected that after Jiang Husheng returned, he didn’t do as he’d been told, which inevitably disappointed him.

After all, having seen Lin Chen’s current strength, Jiang Wei’s intention to win Lin Chen over had only grown stronger.

"This... Clan Leader, an outsider has already come bullying us right at our doorstep, how can we still give him these things..."

Jiang Husheng stepped forward and slightly bowed toward Jiang Wei. Bracing himself, he spoke, and his hand kept gesturing now and then toward Lin Chen behind him.

The face has already been torn; in front of so many people, to have him bow his head to Lin Chen standing there, Jiang Husheng was naturally unwilling.

Lin Chen sneered when he heard this. Supporting Tang Ming, the cold light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter. If not for these people blocking him, he wouldn’t have been forced to break in.

How did the blame end up being pinned on him now?

"Father, it was these people who shut the gates and refused to let Brother Lin in first, that’s why it turned out like this."

At this moment Jiang Ningyan also spoke up to explain, as if afraid Jiang Husheng’s words would mislead Jiang Wei.

"Mm, I know."

Jiang Wei naturally understood the cause and effect. He nodded faintly, then turned toward Jiang Husheng and bellowed angrily, "Why are you still not going?"

Hearing this furious shout, cold sweat streamed down Jiang Husheng’s back. He lowered his head deeply, and from the corner of his eye he glanced toward Jiang Liang, with a hint of pleading in his gaze.

Now Jiang Wei was ordering him to fetch Spirit Grass, but where was he supposed to get it? He hadn’t gathered any at all; in fact, he’d even sold off the Spirit Grass they originally had. You could say that at this moment, there wasn’t a single stalk of Spirit Grass in the clan.

"Do I really have to personally invite you to go?"

Jiang Wei let out a cold snort, and a wave of pressure suddenly bore down on Jiang Husheng. The aura of one who’d been in a high position for years weighed on Jiang Husheng so heavily he could barely breathe.

But after a moment, that oppressive force quickly dispersed, causing Jiang Husheng’s body to loosen slightly. In that relaxation, he couldn’t help glancing gratefully toward Jiang Liang at the side.

Jiang Liang’s expression was icy. He lifted his eyes toward Jiang Wei, and in that gaze there didn’t seem to be the closeness of brothers, but instead a greater coldness.

"Big Brother, this seems a bit inappropriate. No matter what, he is still an Elder of our clan. For you to coerce him like this to help an outsider—isn’t that a little unreasonable?"

Jiang Liang spoke blandly, deliberately going against Jiang Wei’s wishes. Jiang Wei wanted to give Lin Chen Spirit Grass, so he would stir up trouble in the middle of it.

Jiang Wei gave a cold laugh and was just about to speak when a hearty laugh suddenly rang out from outside.

"Hahaha, Brother Lin, you really are here."

Outside, among the many Protectors, a path opened up, and several people walked in through that passage.

At their head was an elder with slightly white whiskers. Smiling broadly, he walked to Lin Chen’s side and slapped Lin Chen’s shoulder with one big hand.

"Fang Lin? What’s he here for?"

Jiang Liang frowned slightly. Moreover, from Fang Lin’s behavior, he actually seemed to be trying to win Lin Chen over, which made Jiang Liang feel all the more uneasy.

"Could it be that he really is a Disciple of some great clan? But judging from his appearance, he doesn’t look like it either."

Jiang Liang pondered inwardly. Lin Chen’s features were indeed refined, but not particularly outstanding, and his clothes were simple and shabby. It was truly hard to believe he was a Disciple of a major clan.

Lin Chen was a bit dazed at the moment. Though he’d met Fang Lin before, it had only been in passing, and Fang Lin had not left much of an impression on him.

So he could only follow Fang Lin’s lead and nod slightly, his expression still somewhat blank.

"Heh, Brother Fang, you came quite fast."

Jiang Wei narrowed his eyes. He naturally knew why Fang Lin had come here.

Back when those monsters fell, with Lin Chen’s warning, they’d all fled quickly.

And because most of the people had already been killed or wounded, the few of them had banded together and escaped a long distance before they began to rest and recover. That was why their return had been delayed.

During that time, after Fang Lin’s inquiries, Jiang Wei had told him the reason why Lin Chen was willing to come. He hadn’t expected Fang Lin’s first order of business upon returning home to be to seek out Lin Chen.

"What, your Jiang Clan has been poor hosts? I absolutely cannot allow my savior to be humiliated here any further."

Fang Lin shot back, giving Jiang Wei no face at all. That shared struggle against the monsters in the forest had been like a fleeting blossom; once they returned to Qingmu City, they were still competitors as before, and Fang Lin naturally wouldn’t show a good face.

"Brother Lin, my household has already prepared a dinner banquet. This isn’t exactly the best place to talk—why not come to my home and have a proper chat?"

Fang Lin tried to draw him in, then as if suddenly remembering something, he gestured for the two servants behind him to step forward.

Each of those two servants carried a rectangular wooden box. At Fang Lin’s slight nod, they opened the lids, revealing that the boxes were already filled with various Spirit Grass.

It was precisely the Spirit Grass Lin Chen urgently needed.

"I heard that Brother Lin was in urgent need of this item, so the first thing I did after returning was to prepare some. It’s just that time was short, and I couldn’t gather too much..."

As Fang Lin spoke, he lowered his eyes slightly, appearing somewhat apologetic.

Looking at the Spirit Grass in the box, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel a rush of joy. Judging from the amount, there were at least several dozen stalks.

"Then I’ll thank you."

Joy overflowed on Lin Chen’s face, and he did not refuse. Filled with delight, he stored all that Spirit Grass into his Storage Ring on the spot.

Not only was Lin Chen pleased, but Fang Lin’s expression also brightened as he watched Lin Chen accept the gift. After all, Lin Chen’s acceptance of it meant he was accepting Fang Lin’s goodwill. How could that not fill him with delight?

However, this scene made Jiang Wei’s expression rather unsightly. He’d long since seen that Lin Chen was not simple, which was why he’d been the first to try to win Lin Chen over. Yet unexpectedly, because Jiang Husheng had acted out of personal grudges, and with Jiang Liang maliciously adding fuel to the fire, things had turned into the situation before him. How could he not be furious?

His mind spun rapidly as he began to think of a way to salvage the situation.

But before he could speak, Jiang Liang stepped forward and said, "Clan Leader Fang, for you to be conversing so loftily in my Jiang household, and with an outsider no less, seems a bit like you’re not putting my Jiang Clan in your eyes. Besides, the man before us has injured quite a few of our Protectors."

Jiang Liang walked forward a few steps, his tone cold, clearly with no intention of letting this end peacefully.
