The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 1021 1021. May the future not afford to fight
"The number of applicants for the Galar Championship has surpassed the number of applicants at the peak of the former regional conference system."

"The number of non-Galer local trainers has reached an astonishing [-]%."

"The new competition system allows extreme giantization and the use of MEGA evolution. In order to adapt to the new competition system, trainers have used the existing time to meet elves everywhere, which has driven the local industry in the Galar region to achieve a profit increase in the past month or so."

"Except for Dandi, no other champion has expressed his attitude of participation."

"Emperor Dan's rival Qibana, Kawu intends to take advantage of the conference to compete with Emperor Dan and win three seats among the eight masters."

"The dispute between Sinnoh and the Galar Alliance seems to have been shelved, and the Galar Alliance once again released a signal to ease the relationship. I hope that the two alliances can settle their suspicions."

A thin young man wearing glasses held a mobile phone, swiped the screen with pale fingers, and summarized the information that happened in the past two days in the most concise words.

When recounting the news, his eyes glanced at the patient on the bed from time to time, always paying attention to her actions.

When he saw the patient reaching for the bedside table, he immediately stood up and handed the patient the water glass.

"Cauxi, I haven't reached the point where I can't move. You don't need to pay so much attention to my movements."

Why didn't Xizhu notice Kexi's actions? After she moistened her mouth with a sip of water, she touched Kexi's face lovingly.

"But grandma is suffering now, isn't she... You can't be fooled by the tossing and turning at night. The doctor said that if you really can't stand it, you can use the elf's hypnotism."

For this proposal, Xi Zhu didn't answer, but just smiled wryly.

"Grandma, the Galar Alliance has no sincerity. They use the media to say they are willing to reconcile, but they don't show it at all. It's so hypocritical."

Xi Zhu chuckled, pinched Coxi's face and explained: "He does good things, and Shenao will take the blame. How can there be such a good thing."

"I'm only worried about whether Sinnoh will counterattack. The battle between alliances is not a trivial matter. I really don't want to see such a scene before I leave this world..."

"Obviously it's good for everyone to live in peace, why do we have to reproduce that scene..."

Xi Zhu raised his head sadly, as if recalling something bad.

"Grandma!" Seeing Xi Zhu talking about life and death, Ke Xi grabbed her hand excitedly.

"If you take life and death very seriously, you will feel terrible, but at my age, what can't you see?"

Xi Zhu hugged Ke Xi and stroked his back: "Listen to grandma, if there is such a day, don't shed too many tears for me, and start your own life as soon as possible."

"Sadness is a negative emotion, great for stress relief, but weak if you dwell on it."

"Grandma hopes that you will always be strong. You are much better than your father, and you will have even more remarkable achievements."

Just when Kexi was about to say something, the door of the ward was slowly pushed open by Miss Joy.

Miss Joy stretched her hand in, and a figure walked in first.

Ke Xi's eyes gradually widened, and his heart was beating a little uneasy because of grandma's negative words just now. Looking at the person in front of him, he was at a loss.

He has seen many of his fights on tape.

Because he likes his fighting style and his elves, Cauchy specially collected everything about him, customized all his elves' figures and dolls, and piled them in every corner of his room.

He was overjoyed when grandma took home his autograph two years ago.

After learning that Grandma Xizhu had a close relationship with him, Ke Xi once wanted to meet him in person, and this idea was satisfied when Grandma Xizhu was just admitted to the hospital.

Fast forward to nearly two years, and Cauchy saw his idol again.

Luther also saw Kexi staring at him in a daze, smiled and nodded slightly to him, then pulled out a chair and sat in front of Xizhu's hospital bed.

Following Acerola and Sijana who walked in, they listened to the conversation between Master and Professor Xizhu, and looked at Kexi curiously.

The two stared at each other so that Ke Xi flinched a little.

Xi Zhu has been a little nervous since seeing Luther appear. Under her strong request, Luther helped her up, stuffed a pillow behind her, and lay down.

Xizhu's eyes used to be so bright and gentle, but the long-term pain and suffering made her eyes a little dim, and there was a slight double image on Luther's face.

Fumbling to put on the glasses, the white-haired, wrinkled Xizhu stared at Luther, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Tell me you are here to visit the sick."

Xi Zhu grabbed Luther's shoulders with his thin hands, his face was full of eagerness, and he shook his hands excitedly when he spoke.

What an insignificant power that is. The old man once walked with him on the beach of Alola, pointing to the sea to popularize the climate and ocean currents for himself.

Walking under the moonlight, she pointed to the stars and told the mysteries of the starry sky.

The past events mentioned when joking with Luther will always give Luther a glimpse of the past in this world.

Such a knowledgeable and kind old man has been so weak after staying on the sick bed for a long time.

Suppressing his sadness, Luther said slowly, "I'm going to Galar to participate in the championship."

Xi Zhu stared at Luther blankly, her pale face suddenly flushed with excitement, and she turned to grab Luther's hand.

Those frail hands kept tightening, condensing all the strength of the old man.

"I received your letter. I know that you are doing it for my own good. To escape from the vortex of this incident, it is the best policy to protect yourself...but I have my own ideas."

The strength in his hands made Luther bow his head. He felt ashamed and guilty for no reason that he had let down the elders in front of him.

"Cosy, get out!"

Xi Zhu suddenly shouted loudly, which made Ke Xi startled.

After seeing grandma's expression, he immediately bowed to Sigana and Acerola, opened the door and walked out.

It was rare for Luther to see Xi Zhu showing such an expression. In his impression, no matter who she faced, she always had a smile on her face, and she was extremely comfortable in dealing with people. She couldn't find a single fault, just like a spring breeze.

Luther once said with a smile that if he traveled decades earlier, a girl like Xi Zhu would be fatally attractive to him.

And this point of view was echoed by Mai, which shows that this kind of charm can be used by both men and women.

"Tell me what you think. I want to know what kind of reason would make someone like you jump into the fire pit. If you can't convince me...I won't let you go to Galar."

Luther hesitated for a while, and after seeing Xi Zhu's resolute expression, he put his hand on the back of Xi Zhu's hand, and slowly told what happened to him in Qidao during this period.

And the plan to extract chestnuts from the fire set by the alliance behind his back.

Xi Zhu didn't show surprise, but just stared at Luther steadfastly, listening carefully to this dangerous move that almost challenged the authority of the alliance.

"I want to completely control Qidao in my own hands. That's why I don't hesitate to take risks to travel."

"As long as Galar's goal is achieved and he returns to Sinnoh successfully, then one of the three plans can always be realized, and the benefits for the island can be maximized."

"If you want to get it, you have to take a risk."

Xi Zhu leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes.

The ward fell silent, and the nervous Sigana wanted to drink some water, but the atmosphere did not allow her to do so, so she had to hold back.

Luther didn't continue talking, but waited for Xizhu to speak.

I don't know how much time has passed, Xi Zhu gently opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

Luther thought that Xi Zhu wanted to drink water, but just as he wanted to get a water glass, Xi Zhu held him down.

"Luther, I have a request."

Solemn and serious, Xi Zhu felt like the first time he met Feng Yuan at this moment.

"Besides not letting me go to Galar, with your care for me, how can I not agree?" Luther said.

"I won't stop you." Xi Zhu said with a smile, "I just want you to accept Ke Xi as an apprentice."

Luther raised his head abruptly, staring at Xi Zhu in surprise.

"He is not very interested in battles, and he is still trying to find his hobbies and talents, but he has a firm temperament, knows how to advance and retreat, understands things, understands human relationships, and understands accidents."

"Although he inherited the weakness of his father and mother when facing some difficulties, overall, he is a good boy."

"If you really don't want to, or don't want to teach Coxi, please help me find a better master on Qidao and teach him."

Luther was puzzled: "I went to Galar this time to make a small fortune. To put it bluntly, I would like to be a gambling dog to gamble on the future. If something happens, Qidao will also be affected."

"Cauxi will only take the risk this time with Qi Dao. You can wait until all the dust settles before coming out."

"Give me a reason, I don't believe you can't think of this layer!"

Xi Zhu said, "Because I read anger from your words."

"Luther, I used to worry about how to define you."

"In the end, I found that if you can live the life you want in peace and stability, even if you are a little bit wronged, you are willing to give in, because you are a person who cares about stability and the feelings of people around you."

"You want the people around you to be safe and protect them, so you push yourself to be more powerful, and that idea drives you to grow and ultimately make you who you are."

"At this time, you are kind and even a little foolish. Although you will have revenge, you only point your fangs at your own enemies."

"But what if we change the scene?"

"What will happen if your stability is broken?" Xi Zhu looked directly at Luther, as if he could peep into the truth in his heart.

"The mob, Wan Nianqing, and that anonymous person who wanted to attack you and Mai, who has become mud...they were all smoothed out after you released your inner violence."

"When you want to unleash your inner fire, it is absolutely impossible to just set a house on fire, you will let many things go down together!"

"You know your own flaws, and constantly heal them. With the establishment of the island and the increase of friends, you are no longer afraid of the beast in your heart, and you have completely mastered it..."

"But... I'm still scared."

"I'm afraid that you can't help it, you can't control that emotion, and you will become your former self again."

Luther was still puzzled: "Now I am no longer the weak self I used to be. I understand my flaws. In order not to hurt the people I care about most, I have changed."

"You were so worried, but you taught Kexi to me?"

"Because you still have one of your biggest weaknesses, which is affection."

Xi Zhu gently hugged Luther.

"For the grace of dripping water, you are willing to repay it with a fountain. This is the reason why many people like you."

"Only a good boy will have such a weakness. Now I am willing to add more weight to this weakness."

"Kuchy will be a member of your island, and my bones will also be buried on the island."

"Xi Island is well, and Cauchy will shine on your teachings."

"Qi Dao is well, and I can rest in peace after I die."

"Luther, calm down those angers that have no place to rest, carefully grasp the scale, and walk between the two alliances."

Luther felt the heart that might stop beating at any time fluctuate at an extreme distance from him, and he couldn't help trembling.

He lowered his head and said seriously: "I know you are thinking so much because you are worried about me for my own good."

"But I really won't go too far. I never took this trip to Galar as an opportunity to release my inner anger, but as a teaching, let the Galar Alliance be a student."

"I have too many people I care about, Mai, Huishi, Sigana, Acerola... Everything on the island is something I have worked hard to get. Now I need to bear the responsibility of the island owner. Every word and deed is related to the future of the island."

"As you said, I've grown."

"Restraint, I have mastered the skill of controlling emotions a long time ago. Karuna is good at it, and she taught it very well."

"To be honest, this is the first time you have misjudged me. Does it matter if you care?" Luther joked with a grin.

After staring into Luther's eyes for a long time, Xi Zhu, who was full of worry, was relieved. She was sure that Luther was not lying to him with beautiful words.

Luther in front of him has really grown up, he has adapted to his new identity and switched seamlessly.

She was not annoyed when she heard Luther teasing herself, and slowly lay back on the pillow.

"You want the Galar Alliance to be a student?" Xi Zhu no longer questioned Luther's words, but savored the words carefully, and said with a smile, "Which one of the upper echelons of the alliance is not a genius, you want to teach them how to do things, is it too big?"

"It's not big at all." Luther said confidently, "Although Galar will suffer a loss this time, after the loss, the championship will be better."

"Do you approve of the championship system?" Luther asked tentatively.

"No, I just think that the emergence of new things is necessary. The system of the regional conference has not changed much for decades. As a brand-new competition format, the championship has taken a new path and stirred up a stagnant environment."

"The benefits of low-level trainers are obvious, and it is also true that the major leagues have increased their benefits."

"I was worried that you still maintained your status as a trainer and didn't take up the status of an island owner. You used the Galar Alliance as a stage to vent your anger."

"Now that you've really grown up, I'm relieved."

"You said that you want to teach the upper echelon of the Galar Alliance a lesson, then I will watch the live broadcast even if I am dragging my body like a piece of metal."

Luther asked: "Even so, you still entrust Cauchy to me?"

"If you say something, you won't change it."

"If I die, my ashes can be buried in a beautiful place on Xunqi Island."

"I don't have the chance to take a good look at Qidao when I'm alive. After I die, I want to see it with my own eyes."

"Luther, go and win back everything you want."

"Let the Galar League feel your strength and understand the shortcomings of its own competition system."

"May the disputes stop at elf battles, and may there be no wars in the future!"
