Although he didn’t speak, Ye Chen knew his thoughts—he wanted to take the potion back to his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye, can I have a portion of this potion? I want to take it back for the folks at home to use.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew the last batch of apple planting ended in failure, which was a great blow to the village folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could take this potion back, it could potentially change the face of his hometown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Bai’s dream of a green oasis was about to come true; how could Deng Xiaochao not feel moved?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Deng Xiaochao was eager to take the potion back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing how much Deng Xiaochao contributed to developing the potion, Ye Chen nodded: \"Sure, you can take a bottle back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen deeply admired those who were grateful and devoted to their hometowns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Xiaochao was ecstatic upon receiving Ye Chen’s permission: \"Thank you, Mr. Ye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deng Xiaochao was sincerely grateful to Ye Chen.
