Hearing about the hidden secret, Zhou Hengguang’s excitement surged, and he immediately followed, wasting no time. The two brothers soon arrived at the base of the barren hill, more of a valley when compared to the neighbouring peaks rather than a true mountain. With its moderate height, it was reluctantly designated as farmland.

However, it was unfit for cultivation.

The terrain resembled a typical mountainous area, adorned with rocks and moss. Even if the shrubs and grass were cleared in the future, it wouldn’t support crops. The most viable option would be to grow fruit trees.

A narrow path ascended the hill, with Zhou Hengyang leading the way. As they walked, he instructed, “Help me look carefully. See if there’s anything different about this hill.”

“Yes! What’s wrong with this hill?” Zhou Hengguang scrutinized the mountain for a long time but failed to discern anything unusual. He couldn’t help but ask, “Big brother, why do you think there’s something different about this mountain? It’s barren land, not worth a single cent.”

“I thought someone might have secretly seized the land during the distribution,” Zhou Hengyang admitted. He had been present during the village’s land allocation. In hindsight, Sun Yunyun’s actions had raised suspicions.

Yet, it wasn’t just Sun Yunyun; even Wenwen’s demeanour at that time seemed questionable.

Wenwen must be hiding something.

The only plausible answer lay in the mountain before them.

“There’s a problem then. Otherwise, no one would have fought for this mountain. ”

The two brothers spent half an hour scrutinizing the area but found nothing. When they eventually found a large rock to rest, Zhou Hengguang had a feeling that the leaves overhead were tiny and dense, fragmenting the autumn sunlight into countless specks.

Squinting, he examined more closely. The more he observed, the more serious his expression became. Something felt amiss.

Zhou Hengyang sensed it too. Suddenly standing up, he retreated from the tree’s shade and carefully examined a tree they had overlooked.

“This is… a tea tree?” The old man and many family uncles had a penchant for tea, instilling knowledge about tea in the two brothers from a young age.

“Yes! It must be a tea tree.’

“Have you ever seen a tea tree this large?” If he hadn’t witnessed it, he wouldn’t have believed such colossal tea trees existed. “Are legendary tea trees this enormous?

“Impossible!” Zhou Hengguang shook his head, astonished by the tea tree

Yet, upon further contemplation, he felt something was awry. Shaking his head, he muttered, “That’s not right either. Even a thousand-year-old tea tree can’t grow this big. Without careful observation, you wouldn’t recognize it as a tea tree.”

It resembled a banyan tree with a towering canopy, slightly shorter but boasting thicker branches and lusher leaves. When he sat down earlier, the sunlight seemed to fragment because every tea leaf was small. “It must be a problem with the breed,” Zhou Hengyang finally said..
