Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's emphatic inquiry, they glanced at the ginkgo tree and shook their heads!

"I didn't notice anything."

"Me neither."

"Nor did I."

They often came here to dine but indeed had not noticed any difference from before.

Receiving such a unanimous response, Hu Xiaobei smiled.

Shortly after, Hu Xiaobei pressed further, "So, none of you observed anything at all?"

As soon as Hu Xiaobei finished speaking, a man with glasses stood up, "Wait a minute, let me take a closer look. Each time I came here for a meal, I always snapped a photo of the ginkgo tree first! Let me find them and take a good look now."

While saying this, he took out his phone and began searching through the photos he had taken.

The others took notice and crowded around.

Hu Xiaobei, Ling Xin'er, and Ling Keke also moved closer...

Seeing so many people approaching, the man with glasses grew slightly nervous.

Noticing this, Hu Xiaobei reassured him, "It's fine, don't be nervous."

"Okay!"

Heartened by Hu Xiaobei's reassurance, he nodded, quickly opened his album, and began flipping through the photos one by one.

Everyone watched along, but after a full cycle, no one spotted anything different.

"All of you didn't see anything?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's rhetorical question, instead of responding, they determinedly flipped back to the first photo and started viewing them again.

At that moment, Ling Keke took a closer look and suddenly spoke up, "I've found something."

"I think I've noticed something too!"

Following Ling Keke's lead, Ling Xin'er also softly spoke up.

...

Hearing their words, Hu Xiaobei laughed, "Tell me, what did you find?"

The two exchanged glances and said in unison, "The color of the leaves. The color has changed in these photos!"

Upon hearing this, everyone else looked very carefully once more.

Quickly, they all noticed that indeed there was a change; the leaves on the ginkgo tree were getting softer with time.

"This kind of change should be normal, right?"

"Yeah, exactly!"

"I think so too!"

Murmuring to themselves, they couldn't help but take a few more looks. They thought it was natural for the ginkgo leaves to change.

...

"You'll soon find out this isn't normal!"

With a cheerful tone, under everyone's gaze, Hu Xiaobei walked underneath the ginkgo tree, quickly grasped one of its branches in his hand, and chuckled.

After a light laugh, Hu Xiaobei gently shook it.

The next second, everyone's eyes widened, for as Hu Xiaobei lightly shook it, all the leaves started falling off. Soon, every single leaf on the branch had fallen...

"How... how is this possible!"

Everyone was in disbelief.

They knew that ginkgo tree leaves only fell off after turning completely yellow.

"Big brother Xiaobei, what... what's going on?"

Hearing Ling Keke's question, Hu Xiaobei laughed lightly, "Pick up the leaves and take a look, and you'll understand."

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's mysterious words, Ling Keke and the others quickly bent down to gather the fallen leaves...

After a thorough examination, they realized that although the leaves appeared normal, the veins of the leaves had started to wither...

Seeing that everyone had noticed the issue with the veins, Hu Xiaobei softly said, "Ginkgo trees can live for a long time, but quite often, they encounter problems. They are now facing a serious one, and within a week at most, all the leaves will have fallen off, and then they will completely decline and die."

"This..."

Everyone gasped in shock!

Liu Yun quickly walked up to Hu Xiaobei...

He looked at Hu Xiaobei with a nervous whisper, "Xiaobei, is... is this ginkgo tree really going to die?"

"Yes!"

"Is... is there any way to save them?"

After glancing at the anxious Liu Yun, Hu Xiaobei soothed him, "Uncle Liu, don't panic!"

At this point, Hu Xiaobei's tone shifted, "I can try, but I can't guarantee success because their condition is really severe!"

"Alright, give it a try!"

"Okay!"

After nodding, Hu Xiaobei calmly walked toward one of the ginkgo trees...

...

"Can he really bring it back to life?"

All the onlookers were doubtful...

Just now, Hu Xiaobei had taught those troublemakers a lesson, showing them that he was not to be underestimated.

Yet, even so, they still didn't quite believe that Hu Xiaobei could pull them back from the Ghost Gate...

"Can Xiaobei really revive them?"

After glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Ling Xin'er muttered uncertainly...

Hearing Ling Xin'er's muttering, Ling Keke laughed confidently!

After the laugh, Ling Keke spoke up directly, "Sister, rest assured! Brother Xiaobei's ability to cultivate the widely renowned 'Xiaobei Brand' shows his deep understanding of plants, so he definitely has the ability to heal them now."

"If that's the case, then that's the best!"

As she spoke, Ling Xin'er focused intently on Hu Xiaobei, who was standing seriously in front of the ginkgo tree...

Previously, Ling Xin'er came to know Hu Xiaobei through the 'Xiaobei Brand,' and her curiosity about him grew, wanting to understand more about him.

Simply put, her desire to understand Hu Xiaobei sprang from his creation of the 'Xiaobei Brand'!

Now, having met Hu Xiaobei and experienced so much with him, she wanted to get to know him even better!

This time, her desire to understand Hu Xiaobei was not because of the 'Xiaobei Brand,' but because she was genuinely interested in Hu Xiaobei himself...

...

"The root system is only 90% damaged, fortunately!"

After confirming that the root system of the ginkgo tree was not completely decayed, Hu Xiaobei let out a slight sigh of relief...

Hu Xiaobei knew that if its root system were entirely decayed, even he, no matter how capable, would not be able to revive it!

Thinking so, Hu Xiaobei placed his hand on the trunk, slowly infusing it with strands of Nine Wood True Qi...

The people present couldn't see the process of True Qi infusion, so to them, Hu Xiaobei just looked foolishly supportive of the tree...

"What is that idiot doing?"

"Exactly!"

"Probably just putting on a show!"

Seeing Hu Xiaobei motionless, a few people sneered and ridiculed him...

Just before, Hu Xiaobei had disciplined those troublemakers.

This won many people's admiration, but not everyone felt the same.

There were a few who always deceived and tricked others relentlessly. They were indifferent to Hu Xiaobei and thus jeered at him...

To them, Hu Xiaobei didn't deserve the attention of so many people!

Especially not the attention of those two beautiful sisters...

"It seems this young man is also out of options!"

"That's normal!"

"Indeed!"

Minutes later, noticing no change in the ginkgo tree, many people murmured in disappointment...

Hearing their disappointed murmurs, Ling Keke glanced at them and quickly said, "It won't be like that, if brother Xiaobei says he can save them, then he surely can."

"Is that possible?"

"Exactly! If the tree is dying, it's not like it can be brought back to life."

"Indeed! Stop trying to play the sorcerer. You really think you're a Heavenly God descending to Earth?"

The tricksters, upon hearing Ling Keke still defending Hu Xiaobei, voiced their displeasure unabashedly...

Ling Keke, hearing their sarcasm and about to retort, suddenly saw someone cry out in astonishment...
