After all, at this moment, they had already been captured by the pirates. If those pirates wanted to kill them, they could do so at any time; there was no need for any extra steps.
The only reason for the current situation was that those pirates had indeed been killed by the person in front of them; otherwise, he wouldn't be here.
"Thank you for saving me. I am Jin Xuan, a disciple of Snow Wind Island's Ice Snow Sect." Although the Oily-haired Young Master was quite skeptical of Xing Chen's words, Jin Xuan believed them wholeheartedly.
"You're welcome. I just acted on impulse," Xing Chen replied with a smile.
"Thank you, brother, for your timely assistance. I will remember this great kindness." Seeing that Jin Xuan had already expressed his gratitude, the others also cupped their fists in acknowledgment.
However, there were some who looked down on Xing Chen and didn't show any appreciation, such as the Oily-haired Young Master, who didn't even say a word of thanks.
Xing Chen ignored such people and continued, "Everyone, your Vital Energy has been restrained. It is quite dangerous to return to Snow Wind Island from here. Although there are no beasts in this sea area, unexpected situations may still arise. How about I escort you to Snow Wind Island?"
Xing Chen was truly making a significant commitment this time. He had always been a lone wolf, but this time he took the initiative to offer to escort these unrelated individuals to Snow Wind Island. Given his character, it was clear that he had made a firm decision.
"In that case, we are truly grateful," Jin Xuan said as he cupped his fists. Xing Chen was absolutely correct; without his escort, it would indeed be very difficult for them to reach Snow Wind Island smoothly.
"Hmph, that's easy to say. You just want to follow us and then ask for some rewards, right?" The Oily-haired Young Master scoffed again. Although he spoke quietly, everyone heard him clearly.
"To be with such a rabid dog that bites indiscriminately and not be driven mad by him is truly impressive!" Xing Chen didn't even glance at the man but instead looked at Jin Xuan and said calmly.
His words made Jin Xuan feel awkward, and at the same time, he secretly cursed him for being so clueless. How could he treat the person who saved his life like this at such a moment? It was one thing to be ungrateful, but to mock him was simply unacceptable.
If it were just mockery, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the fact that he couldn't discern the situation and continued to mock them was a bit much. If Xing Chen lost his temper and killed them right then and there, they would truly be wronged.
"Brother, don't stoop to his level; this guy has a problem with his head," Jin Xuan said with an awkward smile.
"Liu Hao, who's the one with a problem here? I think it's you who has a problem. This guy is clearly trying to gain something by escorting us. Can't you see that? How can you still have the nerve to talk?" The young man known as Oily-haired Young Master suddenly exploded in anger at Jin Xuan.
"Alright, you two stop arguing. We're all captives here. Now that someone has come to rescue us, we should be thanking them!" At that moment, a White-Clad Girl stepped forward and glanced at Oily-haired Young Master before speaking slowly.
"Thanking or not is irrelevant; I just don't want to be seen by some self-righteous rascal," Xing Chen said coldly, a glint of frost flashing in his eyes.
"Brother, don't get angry; he's just like that. Don't take it personally," Jin Xuan said with another smile as he leaned closer to Xing Chen and whispered in his ear, "This guy's name is Liu Hao. His family has considerable power on Snow Wind Island. If you're going to Snow Wind Island, it's better not to create too much conflict with this rascal; otherwise, he might secretly trip you up."
Upon hearing Jin Xuan's words, Xing Chen's expression shifted slightly. To be honest, he really wanted to kill this rascal named Liu Hao. However, he didn't want to be hunted down as soon as he arrived at Snow Wind Island, so he restrained his impulse.
"Jin Shidi, go bring someone to adjust the ship's course. We must return to Snow Wind Island as soon as possible; otherwise, we might face danger," the White-Clad Girl spoke again. She had much more knowledge about these pirates than anyone else; she knew that these pirates came from the forces of Evil Wind Island. If they delayed any longer, reinforcements from Evil Wind Island would likely arrive, and at that point, even if they wanted to leave, it might not be possible.
"Understood, Shijie. I'll go right away," Jin Xuan nodded and then left with a few people while the others gradually exited the cell and went outside.
"Xing Chen, right? Thank you so much for saving us this time. Otherwise, if we were taken to Evil Wind Island, who knows how much our sect would have to pay for our ransom? They might even abandon us altogether," the White-Clad Girl expressed her gratitude once again as they stepped outside.
"It was just a small effort on my part. Besides, those pirates attacked me first; otherwise, I wouldn't have intervened," Xing Chen replied with a faint smile on his face.
If someone familiar with Xing Chen's personality were to see such a frequent smile on his face, they would surely be astonished. After all, Xing Chen used to have a cold, coffin-like expression; even when he smiled, it was a cold smirk, nothing like the two genuine smiles he had just shown in such a short time.
The reason for Xing Chen's frequent smiles was entirely due to the words of Hate Emperor. To make true friends, one must show sincerity, and what he was doing would also help him in breaking through the Gaze of Fate in the future. As for how exactly it would help, Hate Emperor did not elaborate.
"Hehe, no matter what, you are our savior. If you encounter any trouble on Snow Wind Island in the future, feel free to come to us. We will definitely help you with anything within our capabilities," the girl said with a light laugh.
"Even if you don't, he will definitely come to us for help. The reason he saved us is that he wants more connections on Snow Wind Island, right?" After the girl's words, before Xing Chen could respond, Liu Hao, the Oily-haired Young Master, spoke up.
"Sigh, this kid really doesn't know how to stay alive. It took me so long to change Xing Chen's murderous mindset, and now he's been provoked again. It's truly a recipe for disaster!" Hate Emperor sighed and shook his head in Xing Chen's mind.
Although the murderous tendency is typical of Demon Gate disciples, Xing Chen's issue was purely psychological. Hate Emperor originally intended to help eliminate Xing Chen's mental block but unexpectedly encountered such a reckless Rascal instead.
