“Arrived on the island this morning.”
“Was the journey smooth?”
“With Philippa escorting with so many ships, how could it not be smooth? We even arrived several days ahead of schedule,” Shanaela said with a smile.
On the other side, Philippa, who was feeding a parrot, poked her head over and clenched her fist to her chest.
Shanaela continued, “You’ve heard about the Starflower incident. To save face for the business guild, I’m still the chairman on paper, but I no longer have real authority. After some time, even this title will be taken away under some pretext.”
“No worries, our family has a big business. Even if you do nothing, I’ll still support you,” Wu Heng said.
The maids’ eyes widened, watching like an audience, all turning to look at Shanaela.
The latter’s cheeks flushed, and she glared at Wu Heng, “I can’t just idle at home every day.”
“Gold and Silver Island is so big, there’s no way you can’t find something to do,” Wu Heng said.
Mini also asked, “Sister Shanaela, does that mean we can live together now, without having to sneak over every day?”
“There was nothing sneaky about it,” Shanaela remarked, but continued, “Not yet. If I move in directly, the guild maintaining my honorary position will be pointless. On the surface, it’s just some business cooperation with the Island Lord’s Mansion.”
“Oh! Your clan sure is nosy,” Mini muttered.
When the Wood Elves were mentioned, Philippa seemed to recall something and said with a tattling tone, “When arriving on the island, some of Shanaela’s clan members stopped us. If I weren’t there, they wouldn’t have let us pass!”
Wu Heng’s eyebrow raised, “Someone dares to bully you on the island?”
“It’s not really bullying. The agreement I reached with the elders was to give up all assets of the guild, but my assets on Gold and Silver Island are my own, unrelated to them. It was just a matter of making that clear,” Shanaela explained.
Philippa said, “You’re just too easy-going. If it were me, I would’ve slapped them twice to see if they’d dare come bother me next time.”
Shanaela spoke calmly, “They were just following orders, and the guild isn’t really fixated on a single piece of property.”
“Let me know if you have any trouble,” Wu Heng said.
