In fact, Qin Yi had already mentioned the matter of releasing the residents of Chi Tong Island to Leng Xingwen long before they arrived at the battlefield.
However, as soon as this matter was mentioned, Leng Xingwen, who had always been very kind to Qin Yi, actually acted out of character and warned Qin Yi with an almost unyielding attitude to not think about this matter anymore. From this, it could be seen that it was really not easy to achieve this matter.
However, seeing the girl in front of him reveal such a disappointed expression, Qin Yi felt as if he had let down the whole world.
"Miss, this matter is indeed not so easy to achieve for the time being."
Qin Yi said, "But don't worry, when I have enough confidence, I will try to do this matter."
"Really?" The girl widened her eyes and looked straight at Qin Yi, "Don't lie to me."
Qin Yi nodded slightly and said, "I will try my best to complete the things that I have promised others."
"Thank you!"
The girl suddenly smiled. It was as if a white lotus had bloomed on her face, clean and beautiful.
Qin Yi finally understood why the old master of the island loved this adopted granddaughter so much. Not to mention that the two of them had been together for so many years and had long established a deep relationship. Just this smile alone was enough to make people have a deep impression of her.
"Now, let's get to know each other again."
Qin Yi chuckled and said, "After being scolded by you just now, we did not have the chance to get to know each other. My name is Qin Yi, and I am currently a disciple of the Brushing Willow Sect. "
The girl also smiled and said, "My name is Si Qingxue."
Qin Yi nodded and then asked again, "Miss Qingxue, can you tell me how you came to the Flying Star Gang? I thought that you would be sent to other places by the Wild Wave Sect. "
Si Qingxue's face suddenly revealed a pained expression. It could be seen that it was still somewhat difficult for her to recall what happened at that time.
Qin Yi hurriedly said, "If you don't want to say, then forget it."
Si Qingxue shook her head and said, "Actually, it wasn't a particularly complicated experience. When I was caught by them, I was locked up together with my fellow villagers. At that time, he had some acquaintances by his side, so he could barely survive. But then, my fellow townspeople all disappeared in one night. I was the only one left in the dark dungeon. "
One could imagine how painful it must have been for a little girl who was brought out from a small island that stood aloof from worldly affairs to live in loneliness and fear for such a long period of time in the dark.
Although he didn't suffer very serious abuse, this kind of mental torture was sometimes more terrifying than physical torture.
From this point of view, it was understandable that Si Qingxue hated Qin Yi so much when she first saw him and didn't know his identity.
"After that, there were a few times when the people from the Wild Wave Sect would bring people over to visit me. According to them, they're here to 'inspect the goods'. "
Thinking of this, the pain on Si Qingxue's face intensified. "However, when they checked my martial arts strength, everyone shook their heads. Every time I failed to 'inspect the goods', I would be beaten and scolded. In the end, they finally knew that I had no value, so they gave me to Sect Leader Wen as a gift. "
At this moment, the pain on her face finally eased. "Although the days here are hard, at least I don't have to be beaten and scolded. As long as I'm careful and don't provoke others, nothing will happen. It's much better than being in that dark dungeon! "
Hearing this, Qin Yi actually felt a pain in his heart.
A young girl in the prime of her youth should have lived a happy life under the care of her elders, relatives, and friends, but because of the plunder of others, she experienced such suffering prematurely. In the end, she even felt that becoming a slave was a kind of liberation.
If it were anyone else, they might not be able to accept such an experience. Even Qin Xiang had become a lot more mature after being sold as a slave. From this, it could be seen how terrifying this kind of suffering was. Not to mention that Si Qingxue was still a girl.
"Miss Qingxue, don't worry. It won't be long before I'll definitely bring you back to your grandfather's side!"
Qin Yi raised his head, looked at Si Qingxue, and vowed solemnly.
"Yes!"
Si Qingxue smiled sweetly, and her expression was rather satisfied. But very quickly, she suddenly thought of something and looked at Qin Yi again. She said, "That, Big Brother Qin …"
Seeing that she wanted to say something but hesitated, Qin Yi frowned and said, "Miss Qingxue, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to be afraid."
"Can you release all those maidservants from just now?"
Si Qingxue looked at Qin Yi timidly and explained, "During this period of time, they took good care of me. If they didn't accompany me, I would have collapsed a long time ago. "
Qin Yi laughed and said, "I thought you wanted to say something. So it's this matter. Don't worry, I'll get someone to send them back in a while and give them a certain amount of spirit stones as compensation! "
"Really!"
Si Qingxue smiled happily, and then she said, "If you want someone to serve you, then let me do it. I've learned a lot during this year and more! "
Qin Yi smiled helplessly and said, "Miss Qingxue, you've really underestimated me. I've never needed others to serve me, and I don't like the way others stand by my side and stare at me. You and your friends are free now. "
"Alright!"
Si Qingxue was extremely happy, and she looked like a little girl that had obtained candy. She revealed a sweet smile on her face and started dancing with joy.
Perhaps, this was the first time she'd revealed such a smile since she'd experienced setbacks.
Seeing her so happy, Qin Yi's mood became much better. During this period of time, the pressure on him was indeed extremely great, and being able to see such a happy smiling face was considered to be a great encouragement to him.
"Alright, you should go rest first. I'll get someone to prepare a more comfortable room for you to stay in. "
Qin Yi said with a smile, "After a period of time, I'll check your physique for you and let you speed up your cultivation. This way, you'll be able to protect yourself."
"Alright!"
Si Qingxue nodded heavily, and then walked out of Qin Yi's room happily.
After Si Qingxue left, Qin Yi called Qin Xiang and conveyed to him what he'd promised Si Qingxue before, asking him to personally handle this matter.
