Chapter 247 Planting Jade Seeds

"Is it resolved?"

As soon as Qiao Yu and the other four came out of the room, Ding Baian, who had been waiting outside the door, came to greet them.

"Yes." Qiao Yu nodded, "Thank you for your help, Old Ding."

It was not convenient for Hua Yue to know about her mother's affairs, so Qiao Yu and others brought Hua Yue's biological mother directly to Ding Baian.

"You're welcome, boss." Ding Baian smiled slightly. "I'll take care of the body."

Cheng Sinian raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, stretched out his long arm, put it on Ding Baian's shoulder, and said with appreciation: "Old Ding is indeed reliable."

"But don't worry, we won't cause you any trouble. We've already dealt with the body."

After Hua Yue's mother died, Cheng Sinian threw a fireball and burned the body to ashes.

Although Ding Baian is willing to do things for them, they can't always just sit back and do nothing, right?

But Ding Baian was a really good person to get along with. He was quiet, never nosy, and always did whatever he was told to do. He was truly the best subordinate.

Ding Baian didn't say much after hearing this, but just nodded, "Okay, is there anything else you need me to do?"

Qiao Yu thought for a moment and said softly, "We've already connected with Commander Xie, so the store won't just sell bran and wheat pancakes anymore."

"We'll deliver some goods tomorrow. You can count them, find a way to check the market price, and then sell them normally."

"If you run out of stock later, please let me know."

Ding Baian nodded, "Okay, boss."

"That's right." Qiao Yu clapped his hands, lowered his head and pretended to take out a jade seed from his pocket, but actually took it out from the space, placed it on the palm of his hand, and stretched it in front of Ding Baian.

"Old Ding, are you willing to let this seed be planted in your body?"

Qiao Yu looked serious and solemn, not joking at all, which made Ding Baian slightly stunned.

What's the meaning?

Did Qiao Yu not trust him? Did he want to monitor him?

Qiao Yu noticed the hesitation on Ding Baian's face and explained with a smile, "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you."

"It's just that we might be busy later on, and I'm afraid we won't be able to stay home all the time. I'm giving this to you in case you need to contact us and you can't find anyone."

"This jade seed is in your body and normally won't have any effect on you. But if you want to find us, I can sense your intentions."

Although the jade seed would wither outside the human body if it stayed away from Qiao Yu for a certain period of time, as long as it was planted inside the human body, it would remain unaffected by distance and time, and would maintain a constant telepathic connection with Qiao Yu, though the connection would be slightly weaker.

This is the result of Qiao Yu's experiment on Cao Yanba.

When she planted the jade seed in Cao Yaba's body, she originally just wanted to scare him because she knew that the jade seed would wither after being away from her for a certain distance and time. However, she did not expect that the jade seed planted in Cao Yaba's body still had a telepathic connection with Qiao Yu.

This really surprised Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu later observed the situation closely and discovered that when the jade seed was implanted in the human body, it would automatically absorb a certain amount of energy as nutrients. However, this amount of energy was insignificant and would not affect the implanted person's ability to use it, nor would it have any side effects. This was why Qiao Yu dared to implant it in Ding Baian.

Ding Bo'an's expression softened upon hearing this. Without further hesitation, he reached out and took the jade seed. "Where should I plant this? How do I plant it?"

Qiao Yu raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect Ding Baian to accept her proposal so decisively.

He didn't even ask if this thing had any effect on his body.

She was already prepared to be rejected.

Qiao Yu's heart suddenly warmed, and the smile on his lips became softer. "You can plant it anywhere you want. If you find it convenient, just plant it directly in the palm of your hand."

"Okay, no problem." Ding Baian nodded.

After obtaining Ding Baian's consent, Qiao Yu placed a finger on the jade seed in his palm. As the emerald green light energy slowly entered, the jade seed gradually sank into Ding Baian's palm at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the jade seed completely disappeared, Ding Baian withdrew his hand and touched the palm of his hand in surprise.

It really disappeared.

There is absolutely no trace of jade left.

"Is this all right?" Ding Boan asked uncertainly, "Then what should I do when I want to find you?"

Qiao Yu continued to smile slightly, "Whenever you want to find us, just call my name into your palm."

Ding Baian trusted her, and she was willing to trust Ding Baian, so she would not pry into Ding Baian's privacy and daily life.

She had just given the jade seed an order that it would remain dormant unless it heard her name.

"Okay, I understand." Ding Baian nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, boss. Just go ahead and do whatever you want. We'll take care of the store!"

Cheng Sinian patted Ding Baian's shoulder again with satisfaction, "Thanks, Old Ding."

Ding Baian's grin widened. "What's there to thank me for? I'm not going to get my salary for free!"

"Okay, we'll go first then."

--

After leaving Ding Baian, Qiao Yu and the other four returned home.

The light in Huayue's room was still on. Yu Qingchuan hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not go over and knock on the door.

He had just killed her biological mother with his own hands.

Although it was for her own good, the strong sense of guilt still made Yu Qingchuan a little afraid to face Hua Yue at this time.

Before returning to his room, Cheng Sinian patted Yu Qingchuan's shoulder and whispered, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep and pretend nothing happened."

Yu Qingchuan forced a smile and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Cheng Sinian glanced at him without saying whether he believed it or not. He just pursed his lips and took Luo Zhenzhen back to the room.

Yu Qingchuan was left alone, standing in front of Huayue's door in a daze.

I don’t know how long I stood there. Just when Yu Qingchuan felt his legs were a little stiff and was about to go back to his room, the door of Huayue’s room suddenly opened.

"Doctor Yu, what's going on?"

Hua Yue's pretty face suddenly appeared in front of Yu Qingchuan.

Her eyes were soft and full of trust.

But at this moment, Yu Qingchuan didn't dare to look her in the eye.

Yu Qingchuan opened his mouth, wanting to tell her her mother's last words, but he didn't know how to start.

"Doctor Yu? What's wrong?" Hua Yue's eyes flashed with doubt, and she asked tentatively again.

Yu Qingchuan was silent for a long while, then suddenly raised the corners of his lips and said, "It's nothing. I'm just too tired from work today, so I wanted to come see you."

Hua Yue blushed when she heard this and stammered, not knowing what to say.

Seeing this, Yu Qingchuan smiled again and said, "It's late, go to bed early. Good night."

Huayue nodded, "Well, good night."

The smile on Yu Qingchuan's lips disappeared the moment he turned around, and there was only one thing in his heart: Yueyue, I'm sorry.
