Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

Upon hearing this, everyone expressed their understanding.

They knew that Xueyao was a person with aspirations and ideals, and everything she did was for the beliefs and ideals in her heart.

So they expressed their support and looked forward to the day when they could work with Xue Yao again.

But then I heard Xueyao say, "How are your businesses doing now?"

"Good, very good." The three of them looked satisfied.

"That's good." Xue Yao was also satisfied and nodded.

"It's just that there seems to be some unrest in the city recently." Shopkeeper Zhen frowned slightly, as if he had something to hide.

Xueyao's expression turned serious when she heard this. "Manager Zhen, please tell me more details."

Shopkeeper Zhen sighed and put down his wine glass. "Recently, there have been several strange illnesses in the city with bizarre symptoms. The doctors in our clinic are helpless and can only watch the patients weaken day by day."

Xue Yao was shocked and asked quickly, "What are the symptoms?"

Shopkeeper Zhen gave a detailed description. Xue Yao pondered for a moment and said, "I seem to have seen these symptoms in ancient books, but the specific treatment method requires me to see the patient in person."

Seeing this, Liu Maodong hurriedly said, "Since Miss Xueyao has a solution, please help us. The people of Liancheng will be grateful."

Xue Yao nodded and said, "This is a doctor's duty, and I naturally have no choice but to do it. I will go to the clinic tomorrow to take a look."

Tao Xuzhi also said: "Sister, if you need any help, just ask, we will fully support you."

Xue Yao looked at him gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Tao."

After the banquet, Xueyao, Suxin and others returned to Qingfeng Garden.

When she reached her room, she slipped into the secret garden.

Deciding to take Xue Qingchen away from the waterfall, she brought him into the secret garden. He remained devoted to the jade, and considering his love of water, Xue Yao placed the jade in a large wooden barrel filled with spiritual spring water.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it was placed in the spiritual spring water, the jade began to emit a faint blue light, as if it had some kind of miraculous reaction with the spiritual spring water.

Xue Qingchen's aura also seemed to become more stable. He was like a fish returning to water. He was so happy that he couldn't help but send a message to Xue Yao, "Xue Yao, I didn't expect you to have such a good place. I like it."

It seemed that under the nourishment of this spiritual spring water, his energy was slowly recovering.

Xue Yao was delighted when she saw this. She knew that this spiritual spring water was the essence of heaven and earth, and would be of great help in restoring Xue Qingchen's energy.

At this moment, in the secret garden, the jade stone, nourished by the spiritual spring water, emitted an even brighter blue light. Xue Qingchen's aura was very stable.

Xue Yao couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips and began to have an in-depth communication with Xue Qingchen.

She wanted to know more about him, why he chose to live in this jade, and why he asked her to take him away.

Xue Qingchen's voice echoed in Xue Yao's mind. His voice was low and magnetic, as if telling a touching story.

"Xue Yao, you know that I am not an ordinary person in this world." Xue Qingchen's voice was filled with vicissitudes and emotion.

Xue Yao's heart moved, and she quickly said, "Yes, I know."

"I am the spirit of the waterfall between heaven and earth. Thousands of years ago, I had a connection with a powerful man. Seeing that my heart was pure, he gave me a jade stone as a shelter. Afterwards, the jade stone nourished under the waterfall, and I continued to practice. The powerful man allowed me to stay here with peace of mind and wait for my destined person." Xue Qingchen's voice was full of memories of the past.

Xue Yao listened intently, having never imagined she would have such an indissoluble bond with such a mysterious being. An inexplicable sense of closeness welled up in her heart, as if they had known each other for years.

"Then why did you choose me?" Xue Yao asked curiously.

"Perhaps it's because you are a rare pure person in this world, your soul is as clear and transparent as this spiritual spring water, and only you can help me. Or maybe, you are the one with whom I am destined to be." Xue Qingchen said happily, his voice full of expectation and trust.

Xue Yao felt warm in her heart, she felt Xue Qingchen's trust and dependence on her.

Suddenly thinking of something, she asked again, "Then, why didn't you see that piece of jade when we met last time?"

The last time we met? Xue Qingchen was stunned for a moment before reacting.

He said gently, "Last time, on the one hand, you were only here in spirit, and on the other hand, the opportunity was not there, so the jade stone didn't react at all."

"Oh, I see." Xue Yao said softly, "Then why did you ask me to take you away?"

Xue Qingchen was silent for a moment, as if gathering his thoughts. Then he slowly said, "Xue Yao, I sense a special energy in you. It originates from the same source as mine, yet it's different. This energy comes from your bloodline, a gift you were born with. And I need to draw on this power to complete my unfinished mission."

After hearing this, Xue Yao was filled with doubts. She had never heard that she had such a secret.

She then asked, "So, the reason you helped me gain the power of the waterfall last time was also for this reason?"

Xue Qingchen nodded, a hint of gratitude in his voice: "That's right. You have the gift of the power of the waterfall. It is a gift from heaven and earth, and it is also the fate between you and me. I help you obtain the power of the waterfall not only to make you stronger, but also so that you can better help me."

Xue Yao took a deep breath and suddenly felt as if she was drawn into a huge whirlpool, a whirlpool full of unknowns and mysteries.

After thinking about it, she felt relieved.

People cannot just want to gain without wanting to give, let alone when they are receiving favors from others.

Having received a favor from someone, one should not shy away from repaying it, no matter the price. Of course, if the intention to repay a favor is excessive, that is another matter.

Thinking of this, Xue Yao looked at the jade in the spiritual spring water and said, "Xue Qingchen, I will do my best to help you. But please tell me, what is your mission? And how can I help you?"

Xue Qingchen was silent for a moment, as if pondering his response. Finally, he slowly said, "I have no further information on my mission. As for helping me, you're already doing it. You're helping me by taking me away from the waterfall."

"Oh, that simple?"

"Yes, it's that simple."

"Then, where do you want me to take you?" Xue Yao asked.

"When you leave Liancheng, just take me with you. We'll talk about the next step when the time comes."

Xue Yao was shocked when she heard this, "You actually knew I was going to leave Liancheng?"

Xue Qingchen did not answer this question.

Since there was no answer, Xueyao took it as his consent.

She nodded slightly, becoming more curious about Xue Qingchen's origins and purpose, but at the same time she also felt a sense of responsibility.

After thinking for a while, she couldn't help but ask, "So, the place I'm going to is also where you want to go? Or, is that your wish?"

Xue Qingchen didn't answer directly after hearing this. Instead, his voice was filled with gratitude and relief, "Thank you, Xueyao."
