Upon hearing Mu Lingling speak, a faint trace of surprise and astonishnt flickered in Hu Xiaobei's eyes.
Previously, Hu Xiaobei had asked her, but honestly, he was rely asking in passing because he didn't believe Mu Lingling could give him the correct answer.
After all, in his view, Mu Lingling shouldn't be able to perceive such subtle changes, given that compared to major transformations, the change in the tea tree was rather minute.
But now, Hu Xiaobei realized that he had underestimated the tacit connection between Mu Lingling and the tree.
Without receiving an imdiate response from Hu Xiaobei, Mu Lingling squinted her eyes in surprise.
Soon, she earnestly looked at Hu Xiaobei and softly murmured, "Brother Xiaobei, did you not expect that I could actually guess it?"
At this mont, Mu Lingling was rely guessing, yet she felt this guess was likely correct.
Because Hu Xiaobei's current behavior was indeed a bit odd…
"A woman's sixth sense is truly frightening; she almost completely guessed it right!"
Muttering quickly to himself, Hu Xiaobei coughed gently and said, "What are you talking about! How could I not have thought of it, I thought of it! I figured it out earlier."
"Really?"
Noticing that she was still doubtful of him, Hu Xiaobei's eye twitched, and he quickly said, "Let's not dwell on these little things for now. Move aside for a mont, so I can continue to treat this tea tree. After this treatnt, its condition should improve significantly!"
"Okay!"
Having solemnly agreed like this, Mu Lingling stepped back.
Seeing that she really didn't continue to dwell on the previous matter, Hu Xiaobei breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Previously, he was genuinely worried she would persist in pestering him.
With a relaxed mind, Hu Xiaobei continued earnestly treating the tea tree.
Mu Lingling also continued to watch intently…
At this ti, outside, Shen Yuntian frowned angrily.
"Damn it! Damn it! That bastard Hu Xiaobei still hasn't co out? What does this an? Could it be he knows I'm here and plans to cower away his whole life?"
Initially, while waiting here for Hu Xiaobei to co out, Shen Yuntian was quite calm…
But as ti went on, he began to feel frustrated.
Now, not only was he frustrated, but he was also burning with rage.
Because his patience had been utterly exhausted…
Hearing Shen Yuntian speak in such anger, the helpers he brought along all turned to look at him.
Their expressions were composed…
Because they weren't the ones who were bullied before.
...
"Could it be that we should just charge in now?"
When this idea ca up, Shen Yuntian thought about it carefully.
Soon, he shook his head gently, dismissing the thought…
He knew that rushing in now would indeed be hard to resolve.
So, no matter what, he couldn't directly storm in.
Seeing Shen Yuntian growing more eager, they spoke softly, "Young Master Shen, there's really no need to be anxious, because in the current situation, getting anxious won't solve any problems! Right!"
They were worried Shen Yuntian might lose his temper, so they advised him with a calm deanor.
The already irate Shen Yuntian, upon hearing their reminder, roared madly and responded coldly, "It's easy to say when you're not in my place! If you had been taught a lesson by Hu Xiaobei before, you might be even more agitated than I am now."
Hearing such sarcasm, the leader among them was sowhat irritated.
Honestly, if it were soone else, he would have imdiately retaliated fiercely.
But now it was Shen Yuntian, so he didn't dare, because he knew Shen Yuntian was his benefactor, therefore, even for the sake of money, he couldn't confront him. Otherwise, it would really lead to a breakdown.
"Young Master Shen, it was my oversight!"
Having said this, he glanced at the tea room, walked up to Shen Yuntian, and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Shen, does that Hu Xiaobei really have so tricks up his sleeve?"
The already furious Shen Yuntian, upon hearing his inquiry, recalled the previous situation once again.
With his eyes twitching intensely, he said ominously, "No kidding, if he didn't have so tricks, would I have been so passive before?"
"I understand, Young Master Shen, don't worry, later on, my n and I will definitely teach him how to behave properly."
"Hmm!"
Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Yuntian slightly regained so calmness.
...
In the backyard, Hu Xiaobei was unaware of the situation over there.
Honestly, he had long forgotten about that piece of trash called Shen Yuntian…
At this mont, he kept infusing the trunk of the tea tree with Nine Wood True Qi from his body…
As Hu Xiaobei did this, it gradually started to change.
Initially, the change was very slight, but soon, it beca more and more significant.
Eventually, even Mu Lingling, who had been watching nervously from afar, noticed the very clear transformation.
"It should have completely co back to life now, it should have completely co back to life!"
Speaking enthusiastically to herself, she quickly looked towards the top of the tree, where she could clearly see a bit of tender shoots sprouting rapidly.
"Grandpa, did you see that? It's coming back to life again!"
Looking at the growing tender shoots, Mu Lingling murmured to herself…
At this mont, she really missed her grandpa.
She rembered, when she was little, she would often swing under the tree with her grandpa.
At that ti, her grandpa taught her many things…
Later, he fell ill and departed.
This tea tree beca Mu Lingling's spiritual support.
It was also for this reason that when she saw it starting to wither before, Mu Lingling beca utterly anxious.
This anxiety led her to resort to desperate asures.
This desperate approach affected it significantly, so previously Hu Xiaobei needed to detoxify it.
...
Hu Xiaobei didn't know what she was thinking, but he could guess a part of it.
And because he could guess, Hu Xiaobei said nothing, just stood quietly to the side…
After a while, Hu Xiaobei heard her softly speak with an apologetic tone.
"Xiaobei, I'm really sorry! I was a bit absent-minded before!"
"It's okay!"
Responding softly, Hu Xiaobei pointed at the tea tree behind him and said gently, "How about it? Are you satisfied with it now?"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei speak softly, she earnestly examined it again.
After this, she quickly said, "Not just satisfied, it's absolutely wonderful!"
Previously, although Hu Xiaobei said it could be fully restored.
But honestly, she didn't quite believe it!
Now, seeing it completely revived, she truly believed in Hu Xiaobei.
With a gentle smile, Hu Xiaobei said, "I'd like to cut off a branch from the tea tree to take back, do you think it's okay?"
"A branch? You want to transplant it?"
"Yes! If you're not willing, then forget it!"
Hu Xiaobei quickly said.
A forced lon is not sweet!
This is sothing Hu Xiaobei understands very well…
Because he understands, at this mont, Hu Xiaobei doesn't plan to make her do sothing she's uncomfortable with.
So if she refused now, Hu Xiaobei wouldn't really take away even a tiny bit of the tea tree branch.
"How could I disagree, I completely agree!"
"Really?"
"Of course!"
After solemnly saying this, she quickly said, "My grandpa always hoped it would flourish and spread! So, being able to take the tea tree branch now, it really makes extrely happy."
