Chapter: 5811
"Of course!" Ye Chen said firmly. "We can't leave her here. Even if I don't want to give her up, what if she falls into the wrong hands or gets destroyed by people who don't understand? That would be a waste of life!"
"But...," Lin Wan'er hesitated, opening her mouth to say, "But... she has already grown here for tens of thousands of years... This is her roots..."
Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively. "No, no, no. She didn't succeed in the tribulation last time either, which means this place isn't suitable for her. People can't stumble twice in one place, and trees are the same. We need to give her a new place to thrive."
Lin Wan'er asked, "Do you think we should take her to somewhere that's more suitable?"
"Ye Chen said, 'I think you can take her back to that top-level courtyard in Purple Gold Mountain Villa. We can transplant her there, and it'll be great for you to cultivate it by your hot spring pool.'"
Lin Wan'er spoke under her breath, 'Puerh tea trees can only grow in the climate of southern Yunnan. The altitude, climate, sunlight, and humidity here are all suitable for Puerh tea trees to grow, but in Jinling, it's too cold for them to survive!''
Ye Chen said, 'Puerh tea is not adapted to Jinling, but she's not an ordinary Puerh tea tree - she's the Mother of Puerh tea. She's been through tribulations and now has spiritual energy, so her adaptability must be very strong. Your other villa would be great, it's peaceful there, and no one will bother her. As long as this tree doesn't grow too tall, no one will notice, and if it does grow tall in a few years, we can find another place for her.''
As Ye Chen spoke, he added, 'If she really doesn't adapt to Jinling's climate, we can build a greenhouse that simulates the climate of southern Yunnan. That should be fine, right?''
Lin Wan'er murmured to herself, 'You're planning to raise her just so you can harvest her leaves every day, aren't you?''
Ye Chen smiled and said, 'Of course! Raising tea trees is all about harvesting their leaves, isn't it? Planting apple trees is also about waiting for them to bear fruit. What else would we raise them for?' He paused, looking quite reasonable, and Lin Wan'er couldn't find any reason to argue with him.
After a moment of thought, she spoke seriously, 'If you really want to take her back, I only have one request - I don't know if you can agree to it.''
Ye Chen laughed and said, 'Just say it then!''
Lin Wan'er spoke solemnly, 'My request is that you won't randomly pluck her leaves again. At least wait until she grows a bit taller and her leaves are more lush. What do you think?'
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, saying, "No problem. To be honest, her leaves do contain very pure spiritual energy, but it's just that the amount is too small. I really want to achieve an effect comparable to the legendary Dan Medicine. So, I'll have to prune her a lot more. But let's raise her for now and say nothing about it!"
Lin Wan'er relaxed and said, "I'm not opposed to digging her up. Just be careful not to damage the roots when you do. And when you move her, just bring some soil with you. That shouldn't be a problem. The only thing is that I'm worried that we'll take too long on the road and it will affect her condition, even though she's just a tea tree mother now."
Ye Chen nodded again and said, "Alright, I'll stay here and arrange for the plane to wait at the Pangna airport. Once the plane arrives, we can dig her up and then directly head to the airport and return to Jinling!"
Lin Wan'er asked, "What about Wu Feiyan? She should have already arrived in Shennong Mountain by now?"
"It's fine," Ye Chen waved his hand dismissively. "Let's not bother her for now. Let her go. Once she's gone, we can figure out how to cover up her route and see if we can find the specific location within Shennong Mountain."
Lin Wan'er thought to herself, "I came to Xiangnan this time with a predetermined goal that has already been achieved. I went back to Dali, paid homage to my parents, and returned to the edge of the Heavenly Pool where the tea tree mother failed in her tribulation many years ago."
Ye Chen suddenly said he wanted to leave, and Lin Wan'er didn't have any regrets either.
Moreover, this time coming to Xiangnan had an unexpected harvest - I had previously restrained myself to the extreme under Wu Feiyan's watchful eyes. Now, I've unexpectedly obtained a newly sprouted tea tree sapling from the tea tree mother.
Just then, Ye Chen said he wanted to take the Tea Tree Mother back to Jinling, making her heart extremely anxious.
Originally, she felt that the Tea Tree Mother's sapling should be allowed to continue growing here and regain its vitality.
But Ye Chen's words also stirred her up, as if she was going to retrace her previous failure in any field, only to end in defeat. The Tea Tree Mother's tribulation in the past was like a prolonged physical experiment, where scientists struggle their whole lives to find room-temperature superconductors, but never quite break through to the last layer.
If she were to spend another lifetime redoing her research and reattempting it, the result would still be no different. JrNovels.com
