Reborn as a tree, the peerless god is obsessed

As night fell, the lights in the clinic were still brightly lit, and Xueyao's team of eight and the doctors in the clinic were still busy.

Although their faces are tired, their eyes are shining with determination. They are willing to give and bring hope and recovery to patients.

At this moment, there was a burst of hurried horse hoof sounds outside the clinic, and then a man dressed as a servant hurried in, with a look of tension and anxiety on his face.

He looked around and saw Xueyao at a glance. He immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Miss Xueyao, my master wants to invite you to his house for a chat."

Xue Yao was slightly stunned, then asked, "Who is your master?"

The servant replied respectfully, "My master is the head of the Tao family, Master Tao."

Master Tao?

Xue Yao couldn't help but feel puzzled when she heard this. "Is it Shopkeeper Tao from the grain shop?"

She was so busy that she just remembered that Tao Xuzhi had said last night that he would hold a banquet at home today.

But she didn't expect that the person who came invited her in the name of Mr. Tao.

Because there were many patients in the clinic, Xueyao and others were busy until very late, and it was just time to start work now.

So she nodded and said to the servant, "Okay, please lead the way."

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately led Xueyao and the others out of the clinic. Along the way, Xueyao was filled with confusion and curiosity. She didn't know what the Tao family was like now, but she figured they must have been living a good life.

Ten years ago, when she and her companions left Liancheng, his family's life had changed dramatically.

After another ten years of development, I think things are very different now.

The carriage moved slowly forward in the night. Xueyao sat in the carriage, with a thousand thoughts in her mind.

The carriage soon arrived at Tao's house, where we found a three-courtyard house with a grand layout, flowers, plants and trees arranged in an orderly manner, exuding an ancient and elegant atmosphere everywhere.

This is a large mansion built in Liancheng, which is completely different from the small farmhouse back then.

The entire mansion was decorated with lights and bustling with activity. Servants moved busily and orderly around the mansion.

The servant led Xueyao and others through the winding corridor and came to a spacious hall, where they saw Master Tao already waiting.

Today's Mr. Tao is the Tao Junhua of that time, and the father of Tao Xuzhi.

He looked as healthy as ever, though his face bore some traces of aging. Upon seeing Xueyao and the others arrive, he immediately stepped forward and greeted them warmly, "Miss Xueyao, you're finally here. Please take a seat."

His words were full of emotion and excitement, as if he had been looking forward to Xueyao and the others' return for a long time. Xueyao was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Master Tao to welcome them so warmly.

Xueyao and the others bowed to Master Tao and sat down as he was told. Master Tao ordered the servants to serve tea, and then chatted with Xueyao about family matters.

Master Tao sighed, "Miss Xueyao, ten years have passed in a flash. I've been looking forward to your return year after year, and finally we see each other. When you left Lotus City that year, I was worried that you weren't doing well out there. Now it seems that you're all doing well, which is really comforting."

Xue Yao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Tao. We were just lucky. But the Tao family has been developing better and better over the years. It's really gratifying."

Mr. Tao waved his hand and said, "No, no, it's mainly because of your help back then, and the efforts of the younger generations in the family that we have today."

He continued, "Since you left Liancheng, a lot has changed here. But no matter what, we have never forgotten your kindness. Your contributions to Liancheng have brought great benefits to the people of Liancheng.

We have brought you hope and light. Now that we know you are back, we naturally want to treat you well and express our gratitude."

Xueyao felt a surge of warmth in her heart after hearing what Master Tao said. She had never expected that after ten years, the Tao family would still remember their kindness and be so warm to her. This made her feel extremely comforted and moved.

She hadn't expected her actions back then to leave such a deep impression on the Tao family. She smiled and said, "Uncle Tao, you're so kind. We only did what we could back then, so it's not like we're doing you any favors. Besides, we're very happy to see how prosperous Liancheng is now."

After hearing Xueyao's words, Master Tao's smile brightened. He said, "Xueyao, you are just as the rumors say. Not only are you a skilled doctor, but you also care about the world."

In just a cup of tea, a wide variety of dishes were served.

After everyone sat down, Master Tao raised his glass to toast Xueyao and the others, saying, "Miss Xueyao, and your companions, it is truly an honor for me to have you as my guests today. I toast you with this glass. I thank you for your help to the Tao family and to Liancheng. I also welcome you back to this place where you have left countless memories."

Xueyao and others also raised their glasses in response, with warm smiles on their faces.

The Tao family held a banquet not only to express gratitude, but also to welcome these old friends home.

During the meal, Mr. Tao talked about the development of the Tao family over the years and the changes in Liancheng.

Xueyao and the others listened with great interest, and exclaimed in admiration from time to time.

They saw that the Tao family had grown from a small grain shop to its current magnanimous business, and Liancheng had transformed from an ordinary city into a prosperous commercial center, and they all felt extremely proud.

Thinking back to her early connection with the Tao family, Xueyao couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. They had weathered all those years together, and now, looking back at the changes in the Tao family and Liancheng, it was as if she were seeing her past self, constantly growing and improving.

Tao Xuzhi also specially toasted Ling Xue and the others, "Sister, thank you and your companions. Without you, there would be no Tao family today, and there would be no Liancheng today."

Tao Xuzhi's words deeply moved everyone present. They recalled the past days, those days when they fought side by side and overcame difficulties together, as if it were only yesterday. They were pleased with each other's growth and progress, and proud of the changes in Liancheng and the Tao family.

The dinner continued in a pleasant and warm atmosphere. The dishes carefully prepared by the Tao family were not only delicious, but also full of the taste of home, making Xueyao and others feel the warmth of home.

They sat together with the Tao family, talking about the past and looking forward to the future, as if they had returned to that era full of dreams.

But there was one thing that happened, which was exactly what Xueyao had expected, and it surprised her and her companions.

That is, Tao Xuming, who was once seen as someone who only knew how to travel and enjoy the scenery, is now the general manager of Liancheng Academy.

This news was like a flash of lightning, shattering Xueyao's tranquility. She was startled for a moment, then delighted. She remembered the ever-smiling, seemingly uninhibited Tao Xuming. She had never imagined he would now hold such a high position at Liancheng Academy, making significant contributions to its education.

Xue Yao raised her glass to toast Tao Xuming and said with a smile, "Xuming, it's true that when you've been away for three days, you should look at someone with new eyes."

Tao Xuming also raised his glass in response, with a humble smile on his face: "Sister Xueyao, you are too kind. I am just doing my best to contribute to the education cause of Liancheng."
