The Charismatic Charlie Wade

Geena and Maria’s return journey went without a hitch.

Their plane departed promptly at 8:30 AM and touched down in Aurous Hill at a crisp 11 AM.

At noon, the two rushed back to the Zilian Villa. Along the way, Maria cradled the young offspring of the Pu’er Mother Tea plant, her vigilance unwavering.

Upon their return to the villa, Maria summoned everyone to maintain a respectful distance for the time being. She and Geena ascended to the villa’s top-floor courtyard, wasting no time in transplanting the young Pu’er tea plant. After a careful scan of the premises, Maria determined that the open space adjacent to the hot spring pool would be the perfect spot.

Pointing towards the empty expanse, she turned to Jordan. “Judging by the normal growth rate of tea trees, this space should suffice for a decade or more of growth. However, I’m uncertain about the growth rate. If it expands beyond the available soil space, we may need to relocate it.”

Geena grinned, “Let’s not worry about that for now. Let’s settle it here temporarily. It survived natural disasters in its past life, but repeated moves could prove fatal. We’ll start here and perhaps consider relocating it in the future. Once you take charge of the Celestial Group and transform Erlang Mountain, you might find a suitable spot there.”

Maria shook her head resolutely, “This tree belongs to the Young Master. I’m merely its caretaker on his behalf. If it can’t thrive here in the future and the Master decides to move it, I’ll relocate it to his chosen spot.”

Geena replied with seriousness, “You’ve been by its side the longest. The choice of where to plant it will be yours in the future.”

Maria nodded firmly, “I will follow the Young Master.”

With that, she grabbed a gardening shovel, dug a hole in the soil beside the hot spring pool roughly the size of a basketball, delicately nestled the Pu’er tea’s Mother’s roots within, and filled the void with soil she’d excavated. Next, she fetched a wooden water ladle, positioning it near the hot spring pool. She carefully scooped room-temperature water into the ladle and poured it gently around the plant’s edge. The midday sun bathed the delicate green leaves, rendering them almost translucent.

So far, only the Cultivation Pill can boost reiki, but it’s intricate to refine, requiring specific high-quality ingredients. Mass production is impractical.
