Feeling the shock from Haruno Rei, she smiled gently and said, "Yes, I woke up just now. I really have to thank you. If it weren't for you saving earlier, I can't even imagine what would have happened!"
"It's fine, this is what we should do. Co on, have so mung bean soup first, and make yourself comfortable."
"Thank you!"
Having agreed, Bai Xuening took it and sipped it delightedly.
After finishing it, she truly felt comfortable in her heart…
After putting down the bowl in her hand, she heard footsteps again...
Quickly turning her head, she soon saw a tall and beautiful girl with slightly flushed cheeks running over.
"Xiaobei, I've prepared these fruit salads. If it's not enough, I can still go and make more, I…"
Before she could finish, Nanako's eyes widened!
The reason for her excitent was because Nanako saw the woman who was supposed to be unconscious smiling at her broadly.
"My God, you... you woke up!"
"Yes, I woke up just now. It was really kind of you to prepare all these things for ."
"It's nothing! There are plenty of fruit trees in the back yard, I just picked a few, co, taste how it is. This is my first ti making a fruit salad, it might not be very delicious."
"Okay, thank you!"
Bai Xuening didn't really like eating fruits, but knowing that Nanako had gone to the trouble to make it for her, she felt too embarrassed to refuse.
After picking up a toothpick, Bai Xuening speared a piece of fruit.
Then, under their gaze, she put the fruit into her mouth.
After lightly biting into it, Bai Xuening widened her eyes.
The next second, she swallowed the fruit in her mouth and exclaid, "My God, this... the taste of this fruit salad is too amazing."
With such enthusiastic praise, she stared blankly at Nanako.
She really wanted to know how Nanako had made it, why it was so delicious!
Nanako noticed her astonishnt, smiled gently and said, "You don't need to look at so amazed, because the reason this fruit salad tastes so good is not my doing, but because the fruit itself is really good."
"These fruits are great by themselves? Impossible! Isn't the soil and water quality poor in Japan? Aren't the fruits from your trees supposed to taste bad?"
Bai Xuening had little knowledge about Japan previously, but she was aware of so common knowledge.
She knew that Japan was an island nation with not only low yields of fruits and vegetables but also poor taste.
"Yes, you're right. The vegetables and fruits produced in Japan don't taste good, but the fruit you just ate isn't actually produced in Japan, because it was cultivated by Xiaobei himself before."
Hearing such an explanation, Bai Xuening looked at Hu Xiaobei...
"This... this fruit was really cultivated by you?"
"It was ! Back when I was in Huaxia, I cultivated quite a number of vegetables and fruits myself. Actually, it was because of this that I had a conflict with Tanaka Shoichi."
"I see!"
She nodded gently then looked at Hu Xiaobei, "Xiaobei, right! I'd like to have a serious talk with you alone, if that's possible?"
"Of course, there's no problem with that, let's go outside!"
"Okay!"
While they were talking, Hu Xiaobei and she left one after another!
Soon, the two of them arrived at the edge of the woodland in the backyard...
Bai Xuening, looking at the myriad of fruit trees on the mountainside, expressed her heartfelt admiration...
After that, she turned to Hu Xiaobei and said, "Earlier on, Tanaka Shoichi told that there was a great master from our Huaxia. At that ti, I didn't believe it, but now it seems he wasn't exaggerating at all, you really are a master!"
"Master? That's a bit of an exaggeration! By the way, do you want to eat sothing?"
"Get an apple, please!"
"Okay!"
Smiling, Hu Xiaobei reached out and picked an apple...
Soon, he tossed it directly to her...
After catching it and taking a bite, she revealed a satisfied expression...
Quickly, she looked at Hu Xiaobei and said earnestly, "Xiaobei! I won't beat around the bush with you; I want to ask if you really have a way to save my daughter?"
After saying this, she looked at Hu Xiaobei with great anxiety...
Feeling her anxiety, Hu Xiaobei hesitated for a mont and said, "Without seeing the patient, I cannot make any promises to you. But I can assure you, I definitely have a much greater chance of curing her than Tanaka Shoichi!"
At this point, Hu Xiaobei paused slightly!
Quickly, he continued, "Think about it, even if Tanaka Shoichi were to produce a millennium-old ginseng, it wouldn't fundantally cure your daughter's illness. At most, it would delay it, while I truly am confident that I can completely heal her. Let put it this way, I am seventy percent confident!"
Hearing Hu Xiaobei ntion seventy percent confidence, she imdiately smiled and said quickly, "Don't... don't say seventy percent, even if it's seven percent, seven per thousand, or even seven ten thousandths, I would still let you try it."
"Alright! Before that, I'd like you to do a favor!"
"What favor? Just say it! As long as I can do it, I have absolutely no objections!"
"Great! I want to et Tanaka Shoichi, but I don't know where he is!"
"I thought it was sothing serious! I'll be returning to his place later, you can secretly follow ! I believe, sneaking along with shouldn't be difficult for you!"
"Yes! It's not difficult!"
"Good! When the ti cos, don't rush to appear. I'll make him bring out that ginseng, and you secretly help identify it well! See if there really is sothing fishy about it!"
"Can do!"
After setting up the overall frawork, Hu Xiaobei and Bai Xuening discussed the specific details further...
Once they finished discussing, Bai Xuening left the place.
Hu Xiaobei smiled and quickly followed her.
Soon, the two of them left one after another...
Since they left so covertly, no one knew about it.
Everyone thought they were still in the backyard chatting!
Even Haruno Rei and Nanako didn't know that Hu Xiaobei had already left...
...
"This ti, I've put all my faith in Hu Xiaobei; I hope it wasn't misplaced!"
After leaving the inn, Bai Xuening took a deep breath...
Quickly, she quickened her pace; Hu Xiaobei watched her leave, and then quickly caught up to her...
