Shijana is not the kind of person who is good at entertaining others, so she was not assigned to entertain visitors from the Sinnoh Alliance.
Luther pretended to be sick, and Acerola was also busy. Xijana couldn't find anyone suitable for a battle, and couldn't find anyone for fun, so she and Gu Niuniu climbed up to a towering tree with leafy branches.
, taking advantage of the good weather, I took a comfortable nap.
The green caterpillar family saw that the sap-rich fruit tree they had stepped on yesterday was occupied by Shijana. After hesitating for a while, they simply ignored it and climbed up to the trunk to take a big sip.
Shijana didn't care. Although the sound of smoking was noisy, she had often slept in the bustling surroundings in Meteor Falls before, so she was used to it.
As for Gu Niuniu, she closed her ears and just pretended that the outside world did not exist.
One person and one elf, spending their own leisurely afternoon comfortably in a place where the sun can only cast tiny spots of light.
The peace was broken. Shijana, who was sleeping heavily, heard the sounds ringing in her ears from time to time. She rubbed her eyes and yawned softly.
Looking down, next to the big tree, there were several people in straight suits pointing into the distance with their hands from time to time, making circles with their hands from time to time, and discussing something excitedly.
Shijana, who had just woken up, picked her ears, and the sounds under the tree began to become clearer.
"It's no use what you say. This island has long belonged to Luther. When the transaction was made, the agreement was very clear. In the next hundred years, this island will be Luther's property, and Luther's descendants will have
Priority right to renew.”
"So I said it was a mistake to let him take over the island so easily. Yes, he saved some people in the top management and did some things that were beneficial to the Sinnoh Alliance. At worst, you can just use money to make up for it.
.”
"Look at this island. The unique advantage of the migration route allows fertilizer to arrive on time every year. The fertility here is visible to the naked eye."
"Didn't you just hear that person named Nanjo Aoi boast about the great harvest on Qidao last year, and how cold it was this winter, only one tenth of the fruit trees were frozen to death?"
"If we plan better and plant more fruit trees, we will definitely have greater income."
Some people couldn't help but interrupt someone who was talking incessantly.
"You're almost there."
"Why, you advocated selling the island at that time, and now you want others to shut up?"
"No, I just can't be as shameless as you."
"What did you say?" The person being accused was very excited and his face turned red.
"Don't you understand? Then I'll say it again, shameless and shameless!"
Seeing that the two people were about to perform a traditional martial arts brawl when Sinnoh was debating the Galar issue, the people nearby quickly pulled the two away.
But pulling away didn't stop them from continuing to argue.
"Someone is willing to buy the island and develop it. How can I remember that I strongly supported it in the past?"
"Ever since the alliance took control of the entire Sinnoh, Qidao has been here. The fertile land, unique geography, and climatic conditions you mentioned are also here, but have you ever thought about developing Qida?"
"We all know that it takes time and money to develop the island, and the two combined are a gold-swallowing beast. No one can guess how much money it will take to successfully do it. Therefore, we are still considering the population is not saturated, and the land vacancy rate
We are not even talking about development matters right now.”
"Now that someone has spent more than three years developing Qidao into what it is now, it would be too shameless of you to just think of taking over. You are competing with juniors for profit. You are shameless, and I still want face!"
"Who said we want to compete for profit? This place is so close to Suzuran Island, where the Sinnoh Alliance is located, and it can be reached in a moment from the mainland of Sinnoh."
"Luther also built a fighting arena on the island and gathered powerful trainers from other regions such as Cattleya on the island. Sooner or later, it will affect the holding of the Lily of the Valley Conference."
"Isn't it true that the current confrontation with Galar is to save the local conference system? Why are you turning a blind eye to the potential threat of Qidao?"
"As Qidao's reputation grows, more and more trainers will gather outside Qidao. When the time comes, can you still casually say, 'Compete with the juniors?'"
The quarrel between the two parties undoubtedly represents two different attitudes towards Qidao within the alliance.
Shijana didn't dare to express her anger. She didn't fall down from the tree until the quarreling group of people dispersed and continued their inspection.
She ran all the way and saw the wind speed dog resting beside her. She whistled and then jumped on his back.
"Go find Acerola."
The master is pretending to be ill, the master is acting, and the smartest person Shijana can think of is Acerola.
In a flash of lightning, Wind Speed Dog and Xijana rushed from the South District to the West District, and happened to meet Acerola who was leading the Sinnoh Alliance to visit the orchard.
Seeing the furious Shijana, Acerola was stunned for a moment.
She first smiled and arranged for the guests to find a place to rest for a while, and then asked the Night Demon and Mimikyu to guard the surroundings.
Shijana told Acerola exactly what she heard after taking a nap just now.
Acerola was not surprised after hearing this and acted very calmly.
"Normally, a person who wants to strive for profit will definitely not say that he wants a share of the pie, but will use the name of righteousness to achieve his goal euphemistically."
"For this inspection, Master asked Adek and the others to leave the island in advance just to prevent them from being even more surprised."
"Master already knew they would think so?"
Acellola sighed, seeming a little helpless towards Shijana.
"Originally, there were differences within the alliance's top management over the sale of the island. This time I went to the island and saw how well Qidao was doing, of course I would feel uncomfortable. But I didn't expect them to express their uncomfortable attitude so quickly and so fiercely.
"
"You asked Master before that the Sinnoh Alliance was pretty good to him, why did he want to take away the island completely? Master didn't tell you the answer, but asked you to look at it with your eyes. Can you see it now?
"
"As Master's status gradually rises and Qidao's presence becomes stronger, he will become a weapon for those who hate Master to attack Master."
"In addition, there are two voices within the Sinnoh Alliance... It doesn't matter that the voices supporting Master are at the top now, but what if one day, these voices become weaker and fall into the disadvantage?"
Acellola warned with emphasis.
"I know that when you look at the world, you probably think that everyone is friendly, there is laughter and laughter everywhere, and everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and is very happy."
"But this view doesn't work with Master. He now wants to seek a future for the entire island. When you want to fight for your own interests for one group, you are bound to conflict with another group of people."
"Don't talk about right or wrong at this time, but talk about your position."
"I am Master's disciple. A future where Qidao gets better and better is what I look forward to."
"And don't forget, Master's trip to Galar this time is dangerous. He is using himself to fight for a future for Qidao and to gain face for Sinnoh."
"The ownership of Qidao is the value of the face of Sinnoh. The price has been marked. This is a transaction. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong. It only depends on the benefits and results."
After saying that, Acerola pinched Shijana's face and asked like a little teacher: "Tell me now, what do you think after listening to this?"
Shijana thought about it for a while and thought of a joke that Acerola often played.
She clenched her fists and said seriously: "Master, my God!"
