"The number of registrations for the Galar Championship has exceeded the number of registrations at the peak of the previous regional tournament system."

"The number of non-Galar local trainers accounts for an astonishing 70%."

"The new competition system allows for the use of Dynamax and MEGA evolution. In order to adapt to the new competition system, trainers have used the existing time to encounter elves everywhere. This has driven the local industry in the Galar region to achieve growth in the past month or so.

Profits climbed."

"Except for Dan Emperor, no other champion has expressed his participation attitude."

"Alchemy Emperor's rival Qibana, Kawu intends to use the conference to compete with Alchemy Emperor and win three of the eight seats."

"The dispute between Sinnoh and the Galar Alliance is suspected to be on hold. The Galar Alliance has once again released a signal of easing relations. It is hoped that the two alliances can resolve their past feud."

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

While retelling 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 water glass to the patient.

"Kexi, I'm not at the point where I can't move yet, so you don't need to worry so much about my movements."

Xi Zhu didn't notice Ke Xi's behavior. After she drank a small amount of water to moisten her mouth, she touched Ke Xi's face lovingly.

"But grandma is feeling very uncomfortable now, isn't she... You can't fool anyone by tossing and turning at night. The doctor said that if you really can't stand it, you can use the elves' hypnosis."

To this suggestion, Xizhu did not answer, but just smiled bitterly.

"Grandma, the Galar Alliance has no sincerity. It uses the media to say that it is willing to reconcile, but there is no indication at all. It is so hypocritical."

Xizhu chuckled, pinched Ke Xi's face and explained: "He does good things, and Shennou takes the blame. How can such a good thing happen?"

"I'm only worried now whether Sinnoh will make a 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 that everyone is calm and contented, so why do we have to re-enact such a scene..."

Xizhu raised his head sadly, as if he was recalling something bad.

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

"If you take life and death seriously, it will be scary, but at my age, what can't you look away from?"

Xizhu hugged Kexi and stroked his back: "Listen to grandma, if one day comes, don't shed too many tears for me and start your own life as soon as possible."

"Sadness is a negative emotion. It is excellent if used to relieve stress. If you indulge in it, it is weakness."

"Grandma hopes you can stay strong. You are much better than your father and will achieve even more amazing things."

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

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

Kexi's eyes gradually opened wide, and his heart was pounding because of his grandmother's negative words. Looking at the person in front of him, he became at a loss.

He had watched his battles on video many times.

Because he liked his fighting style and his elves, Kexi specially collected all his peripherals, customized the figurines and dolls of all his elves, and filled every corner of his room.

Two years ago, he was overjoyed when his grandma took his autograph home.

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

Nearly two years passed in a flash, and Kesi met his idol again.

Luther also saw Kexi who was looking 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.

Aselora and Shijana walked in while listening to the conversation between their master and Professor Xizhu, while looking at Kexi curiously.

The two men stared at each other, causing Kexi to flinch a little.

Xizhu had been a little nervous since seeing Luther appear. At her strong request, Luther helped her up, stuffed a pillow behind her back, and lay down.

Xizhu's eyes used to be so bright and gentle, but the long-term pain and torture made her eyes a little dark, and the face she looked at Luther also had a slight double image.

Fumbling to put on his glasses, Xi Zhu, with white hair and wrinkles on his face, stared at Luther, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh.

"Tell me you are here specifically to visit the patient."

Xizhu's thin hands grasped Luther's shoulders, his face was full of eagerness, and his hands shook excitedly as he spoke.

What a negligible power that was. This old man once walked with him on the beach in Alola, pointing at the sea to learn about the climate and ocean currents for him.

Walking under the moonlight, she pointed at the stars and talked about the mysteries of the starry sky.

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

Such a knowledgeable and kind old man has become so weak after living on the bed for a long time.

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

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

Those weak 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 whirlpool of this incident, it is best to protect yourself...but I have my own ideas."

The strength in his hand made Luther lower his head. He felt for no reason that he had failed the elders in front of him, and he was both ashamed and guilty.

"Kexi, get out!"

Xizhu suddenly shouted loudly, which shocked Ke Xi.

After seeing grandma's expression, he immediately saluted Shijana and Acerola, opened the door and walked out.

Luther rarely saw 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 fault her at all, just like a spring breeze.

Luther once said with a smile that if he had time traveled decades earlier, girls like Xizhu would have been fatally attractive to him.

And this view was actually echoed by Mai, which shows that this kind of charm appeals to both men and women.

"Tell me what you think. I want to know what reasons 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 Xizhu's resolute expression, he put his hand on the back of Xizhu's hand and slowly told him what he had experienced on Qidao during this period.

And the plan to seize chestnuts from the fire that he made behind the alliance's back.

Xizhu didn't even show any surprise. He just stared at Luther steadily and listened carefully to this dangerous move that was close to challenging the alliance's authority.

"I want to completely control Qidao in my own hands, which is why I have to travel even if I take risks."

"As long as Galar achieves its goal and returns to Sinnoh successfully, then one of the three plans can always be realized and the benefits to the island can be maximized."

"If you want to gain, you have to take risks."

Xi Zhu leaned on the pillow and closed his eyes.

The ward suddenly became quiet. Nervous Sijana wanted to take a drink of water, but the atmosphere did not allow her to do so, so she had to hold it in.

Luther did not continue speaking, but waited for Xi Zhu to speak.

I don't know how much time passed, but Xizhu gently opened his eyes and opened his mouth slightly.

Luther thought Xizhu wanted to drink water. Just as he was about to get the water glass, Xizhu held him down.

"Luther, I have a request."

Solemn and solemn, this moment of Xi Zhu was just like the first time they met in Fengyuan.

"Except for not letting me go to Galar, given your care for me, can I still refuse to agree?" Luther said.

"I won't stop you." Xizhu said with a smile, "I just want you to accept Ke Xi as your disciple."

Luther suddenly raised his head and stared at Xizhu in surprise.

"He has little interest in fighting, and is still trying to find his hobbies and talents. However, he has a perseverant temperament, knows how to advance and retreat, understands common sense, understands human feelings, and understands accidents."

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

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

Luther was puzzled: "I went to Galar this time for a small gain. To put it bluntly, I was just a gambling dog going to bet on the future. If something happens, the island will also be affected."

"Kexi will only bear this risk by following Qidao. You can wait until everything settles before coming out."

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

Xizhu said: "Because I can 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 feel a little wronged, you will still be willing to give in, because you are a person who cares about stability and the feelings of the people around you."

"You hope that the people around you will not be harmed and can protect them, so you force yourself to have more power. This idea prompts you to continue to grow, and ultimately becomes you."

"At this time, you are kind and even a little stupid. Although you must retaliate, you only point your fangs at your 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 peek into the truth in his heart.

"The mob, Dieffenbachia, and the nameless one who wanted to attack you and Mai, have turned into mud... They were all wiped out after you unleashed the violence in your heart."

"When you want to release the fire within you, you can never just set a house on fire, you will destroy many things together!"

"You know your flaws and continue to cure them. With the establishment of the island and the increase of friends, you are no longer afraid of the beast in your heart and have completely mastered it..."
To be continued...
