Chapter 638 Invitation from the Ether Foundation
Facing Yang Ming's questioning, Xi Jiana panicked. She had cleaned up the scene very well before, but she didn't notice that there was a very subtle blood stain on her skirt. She didn't expect Yang Ming's observation ability to be so amazing. She hurriedly explained: "I was pushed by someone in the crowd just now, and my thigh was broken. The blood stain was probably stained at that time."
"Is your thigh skin broken? This is no small matter," Yang Ming was skeptical. "It would be bad if the wound got infected. I happened to have brought some medicine with me, so let me bandage your wound."
After saying that, he was about to step forward and lift up Xijiana's skirt.
"Don't, don't do this..." Xi Jiana panicked, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other..."
"What's the point of men and women not touching each other? I just know that treating the wound is the top priority right now!" Yang Ming was unmoved and prepared to forcibly check the wound.
Xi Jiana was suddenly speechless. She didn't expect that she would be gagged by the lie she made up. She could only hold down her skirt desperately to prevent Yang Ming from checking the wound.
Seeing Xi Jiana so determined, Yang Ming had to give up checking her wound.
"I'm sorry," Xi Jiana said with some guilt, "I was too willful and made you wait for so long..."
Yang Ming shook his head: "No, you are not wrong. If there is any mistake, then I should be the one who is wrong."
"I clearly promised to bring you here to play today, but I forgot the agreement and fought the Overlord Pokémon alone, leaving you alone to face danger."
"As a 'brother', I can say that I am quite incompetent."
Xi Jiana's body shuddered. She had never expected that Yang Ming not only did not delve into her secret, but also took the initiative to apologize to her. She was suddenly at a loss.
From the beginning to the end, Xi Jiana had been acting in front of Yang Ming. And it was not until this moment that her heart began to waver. Recalling the little things she had experienced with Yang Ming before, Xi Jiana suddenly realized that she had fallen in love with him.
"It would be great if he was really my brother..."
As soon as this thought came up, Xi Jiana suppressed it. Maybe she subconsciously wanted to become Yang Ming's real "sister", or even a more "intimate" relationship, but in the final analysis, their ambitions and goals were incompatible. Even if they could temporarily join forces now, they would go their separate ways sooner or later in the future...
Thinking of this, Xi Jiana tried hard to suppress her extra emotions and forced a smile to Yang Ming: "Since you, the 'brother', have apologized, then I, the 'sister', will reluctantly forgive you. I happen to be hungry now, so let's go have dinner first."
Yang Ming nodded slightly: "No problem, you go to the restaurant to order first, I will come to pay the bill later."
After Xijiana left, Yang Ming immediately contacted Jones and the trio.
"In the next few days, investigate all the towns and cities on Akala Island to see if anyone has suddenly disappeared or died recently."
Jones and the trio immediately took orders and left.
"Judging from Xijiana's reaction, she must have been in a battle just now, and she also killed someone. However, the fact that she was injured should be fake. The bloodstains were left by the people she killed."
"I just don't know why she hid this. I almost wanted to take her in as my sister before... Never mind. At least she doesn't have any ill will towards me now. I'll just pretend that she doesn't..."
In the next few days, many students from Akala Island came to Alola School, which made Professor Kukui and Nariya Ooki very happy.
Even Mao, the captain of Akara Island, signed up and immediately pestered Yang Ming, wanting to learn the techniques of making energy cubes.
Yang Ming did not hide his incompetence and taught Mao everything he knew.
"The trick to making energy cubes is to ensure that the berries are evenly distributed. Since we have to put more than two berries into each energy cube, and these berries may have conflicting effects due to their different ingredients, what we have to do is to maintain a perfect balance between the different berries as much as possible. The fewer impurities, the higher the quality of the energy cube."
Mao held her cheek and listened to Yang Ming's explanation in fascination, while Xijiana on the side was absent-minded.
In addition to the two of them, there were quite a few students who came to learn how to make energy cubes. Yang Ming accepted all of them and taught them all his knowledge.
Thinking that these people would be his future subordinates and useful talents in mass production of energy cubes, Yang Ming taught them even harder.
The most diligent of these people is Mao.
Mao was very interested in the production of energy cubes and Baofen, and came to Yang Ming almost every day, which made Xijiana very dissatisfied.
"As a school director, you should just focus on spending money to buy equipment. Why do you even take on the teacher's job? Are you attracted to this girl named Mao again? Oh, I really pity your future wife..."
Yang Ming didn't bother to pay attention to her weirdness and focused on teaching her knowledge. Mao had a very good personality, which was somewhat similar to Feng Lu, and this made Yang Ming's teaching much easier.
In addition, Yang Ming was still trying to capture Cosmogu during this period. Although he still failed, as Yang Ming continued to feed it energy blocks, Cosmogu became closer to him and was no longer as wary as before.
Several days passed like this. One afternoon, Yang Ming was teaching Mao how to make Bofen when he was visited by the King of the Island, Hara.
"An invitation letter from the Ether Foundation?" Yang Ming remained silent as he stared at the invitation letter in his hand.
Hala nodded and said, "Yes, this invitation was originally for me, but since something went wrong on Ula Ula Island, I can only ask you to attend the banquet on my behalf."
Yang Ming was a little surprised: "But Ula Ula Island is Mr. Merdan's territory? Why do you need to go to Ula Ula Island in person to help?"
"Because Merdan is not on Ula'ula Island now," Hala said earnestly, "Although there are four major islands in the Alola region, the only ones that can be truly called peaceful are Melemele Island, my island, and Akara Island, Liz's island."
"Because Poni Island has not elected a new island queen for many years, the island has now become a chaotic place. A large number of bandits and wanted criminals are entrenched there, harassing the other three islands from time to time, and going on the islands to burn, kill and loot."
"And on Ula'ula Island, there is the Skull Team, the largest evil force in Alola. With their support, the aristocratic families and hooligans of Ula'ula Island openly confronted the king of the island, causing the entire Ula'ula Island to fall into great chaos."
"There are currently only three island kings in the Alola region. Lizzie, who is in charge of business, needs to leave the Alola region frequently to negotiate business. So now in Alola, only Merdan and I are responsible for the peace of the four islands."
"A few days ago, a riot broke out. A large number of pirates set out from Poni Island and went to the other three islands to burn, kill and loot. In order to deal with them, Merdan left Ula'ula Island and entered Poni Island to suppress the bandits. Skull took this opportunity to loot Ula'ula Island, so I had to go there in person."
