Xu Yun smiled and didn't say anything. Qiu Heng's scheming was much better than those people from before. He just casually dealt with those small fries in the ocean. He often did this kind of thing. It was normal for conflicts to occur in the Pacific Ocean.
However, Qiu Heng's choice of time and place to make a move, as well as who he was in front of, was very successful. At the very least, Xu Yun's attitude towards him was much better than his attitude towards the others. Xu Yun already had some feelings of sympathy towards Qiu Heng, who was also Chinese. Now, it seemed that he had more or less a good impression of Qiu Heng.
Although Qiu Heng's move wasn't a timely help, it was an exaggeration to say that he had at least solved Xu Yun and Lin Ge's urgent problem. For an outsider, or even an opponent, Qiu Heng's actions had undoubtedly let Xu Yun and Lin Ge let down their guard.
"Captain Qiu, we just met and you've already dealt with all the trouble around me. Isn't this a great gift?" Xu Yun finally spoke. "We Chinese are particular about reciprocity. If we don't follow such a simple rule, it would be a disgrace to our ancestors. A gentleman is a man of virtue. Being filial to one's younger brother is the foundation of benevolence! Filial piety, loyalty, propriety, justice, integrity, and shame. If you don't pay attention to this, how can you call yourself a Hua Xia citizen? "
"Good, filial piety, loyalty, propriety, justice, integrity, and shame." Qiu Heng gave a thumbs up. He was very impressed with Xu Yun's education. "Mr. Xu Yun's words are really better than ten years of studying for a wandering Hua Xia citizen like me. Although I'm Chinese, I really don't know what the eight virtues of life are. Today, I finally understood. Filial piety, loyalty, propriety, justice, integrity, and shame. Good! Well said! Hua Xia is a country of etiquette. Naturally, Chinese people pay attention to the eight virtues of life. "
Since Xu Yun wanted to be polite and return the favor, Qiu Heng naturally didn't mind doing Xu Yun a favor. This wasn't a bad thing for him. Instead, it was his biggest advantage in becoming friends with Xu Yun. Currently, there was probably no one in this sea region who was closer to Xu Yun than him.
"Captain Qiu gave me such a big gift, but I really don't have anything to return," Xu Yun said lightly. "So, Captain Qiu is making things difficult for me."
"Mr. Xu Yun, please don't feel troubled. If that's the case, then it would be my fault." Qiu Heng said, "Let me put it this way. Even if these people don't harass you, if I encounter them, I will still make sure they don't have a good ending. People of the same trade are enemies. I already have a conflict of interest with them, so fighting and killing is normal. Therefore, this can't be considered a meeting gift for Mr. Xu Yun. It's just that I conveniently cleared my obstacles and unintentionally helped Mr. Xu. "
Xu Yun nodded. "Alright, with Captain Qiu's words, I'm relieved. Since you cleared away your obstacles, then you don't have to worry about filial piety, loyalty, propriety, justice, integrity, and honor. There's no need to return the favor, right? "
"Of course there's no need for that," Qiu Heng said. "If that's the case, does Mr. Xu feel much better? Much better? "
"Uh-huh, that's a lot better." Xu Yun said, "In that case, I'll have to bother you, Captain Qiu. Pigeon, let's go. Since Captain Qiu wants to come to this island, we'll make room for him. Take it as a return gift for Captain Qiu. We'll be even then. "
Qiu Heng was stunned. Xu Yun was beating around the bush, and in the end, he came to the conclusion that he didn't owe him anything! If that was the case, then everything Qiu Heng did just now was in vain. What a good Xu Yun. He set up a simple trap and Qiu Heng walked right into it.
Qiu Heng fell for Xu Yun's trap because he desperately wanted to build a good relationship with Xu Yun. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen for it so easily.
At this time, Qiu Heng didn't turn against Qiu Heng. Instead, his expression and smile made him admire Xu Yun even more. He was brave and smart. If he could have such a person by his side, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to become a hegemon!
"Mr. Xu Yun, our captain came all the way here to find you. Don't you think it's a little rude to leave just like that?" Mo Tai quietly stepped forward and blocked Xu Yun's path. "It's better to be clear about some things."
Xu Yun smiled and glanced at Mo Tai. Then, he turned back to look at Qiu Heng. Qiu Heng didn't say anything. Although Mo Tai's sudden action was a little rash, his recklessness allowed him to do things that were inconvenient for him to do.
Simply put, Qiu Heng couldn't possibly fall out with Xu Yun in front of him. Because he wanted to recruit him, once they fell out, the distance between them wouldn't be something that could be bridged with just a few words. Similarly, Xu Yun couldn't fall out with Qiu Heng. He and Lin Ge were both physically and mentally exhausted. If they were to clash with the White Whale Clan now, even if they could make the White Whale Clan suffer, the two of them wouldn't be spared either.
Many things had to be considered from multiple angles. Hence, Xu Yun and Qiu Heng were in the same situation. It wasn't convenient for them to talk too much.
Fortunately, Lin Ge wasn't a pushover either. When he saw Mo Tai step forward to stop them, he stepped forward without hesitation since Xu Yun wasn't in a position to speak up. "Haven't we made things clear? You're just doing what you're supposed to do and solving some of our problems. We're also doing what we're supposed to do and making space for you. Isn't this considered reciprocity? "
"Sorry, I'm talking to Mr. Xu Yun." Mo Tai didn't seem to care about Lin Ge's words. Although Lin Ge's value had also doubled, in their eyes, it was all because he was following Xu Yun.
"What's with the fight? I'm talking to Captain Qiu." Lin Ge didn't hold back either. He didn't expect this guy to be so arrogant and look down on him. F * ck, what the f * ck! I'm the one who looks down on you.
The two of them were at each other's throats. Neither of them was willing to back down!
After all, Mo Tai felt that this was his home ground. Hence, he definitely couldn't lose to Lin Ge. "You don't seem to be qualified to talk to our captain."
"Do you think you're qualified to talk to my brother? Look at yourself before you speak! "Lin Ge retorted without hesitation.
While the two of them were having a simple conversation, the smell of gunpowder at the scene became even more intense. Neither of them was willing to back down, causing the atmosphere to become tense. Even Xu Yun and Qiu Heng didn't feel as relaxed and happy as they did at the beginning.
At a time like this, it seemed that there was only one way to solve the problem. Whoever had the harder fist would be in the dominant position. However, once this line of fire was ignited, it would become uncontrollable. Qiu Heng knew very well what the result would be. What was the difference between what he did and what others did?
If that was the case, so what if he could kill Xu Yun? At most, he would have to sacrifice the lives of some of his brothers. Not only would he not be able to increase his own strength, but it would also be equivalent to causing a lose-lose situation. The one who would benefit in the end wouldn't be him.
Qiu Heng wouldn't do such a stupid thing. This wasn't something a smart person like him would do. Doing things this way was the behavior of a boorish person. History had proven that no boorish person could achieve great things in the end. A boorish person would always be a boorish person.
Qiu Heng definitely wouldn't tolerate being a boorish person who couldn't achieve anything. He looked down on that kind of person.
