“My lord! This disciple doesn't have a single coin. Could you give me a few more days to pay the rent?”
Lin Fan knelt in the mud, thinking the sect master had come to collect the rent.
The sect master immediately dropped to his knees. The three elders behind him knelt in a neat row. The sect master wept as he offered to hand over his position, bowing until his forehead turned red. When the three elders saw him kneel, each of them knelt even more properly than the last, not daring to breathe too loudly.
Lin Fan: ???
The Grand Elder was even more ridiculous. He spotted a crooked weed by the vegetable patch and burst into tears on the spot, claiming it was a Nine-Revolution Resurrection Herb that had vanished three thousand years ago. He knelt and begged to become Lin Fan's disciple, blocking his path wherever he went and warmly calling him “senior.” Nothing could make him leave.
Lin Fan: ???
The sect master held the radish Lin Fan had casually pulled, his hands shaking like a leaf. He said it was a congenital spirit plant, and his bottleneck had loosened right there on the spot. Behind him, one elder turned pale, another stood with his mouth hanging open, and the third muttered to himself nonstop. The Grand Elder added, “If senior can grow a Nine-Revolution Resurrection Herb, what does one radish matter?”
Lin Fan: ???
The Demon Cult's holy maiden arrived and insisted on helping him farm. The demon princess arrived, called him the reincarnation of the Demon God, and dropped to her knees without hesitation. The scruffy chicken he raised, which did nothing but steal food, was declared a descendant of the ancient divine beast phoenix, and the demon race sent people to steal it that very night.
There was one thing Lin Fan never understood: he was just a farmhand, and he hadn't even entered the Qi Refining stage.
The more timid he acted, the more the great experts revered him. The more bewildered he was, the more they thought him unfathomable. The more he called himself a good-for-nothing, the more they believed his words contained the ultimate truth of the Great Dao.
What was he supposed to do?!
