“En?”

Jiang Yi paused in mid-air and swept a cold glance with eyes of anger. He had rescued them due to his benevolence, but this person actually wanted to put the blame on him? He hated this type of moral abduction.

“Shameful!”

Before Jiang Yi flipped out, the young madam who addressed herself as Tantai Shi suddenly had a cold expression as she glared and berated Song Zhong, “Song Zhong, how dare you behave so rudely to my Lord? It is already our blessing for my Lord to rescue our lives. How can we trouble my Lord again? Slap yourself a hundred times!”

Song Zhong knew that he had said something wrong due to his anxiety. He lifted his hands and slapped himself ruthlessly while Tantai Shi retrieved her eyes and bowed to Jiang Yi. “My Lord, please forgive him. Song Zhong is impatient to protect us. If my Lord wants to give any punishment, this servant will bear the consequences.”

Slap! Slap!

Song Zhong had slapped himself ruthlessly, and even the corner of his mouth was oozing with blood. Yet, Jiang Yi remained indifferent and looked on with cold eyes. He looked at Tantai Shi with deep intentions and thought to himself that this young madam was too shrewd. Her theatrical double act was done brilliantly.

When Tantai Shi was stared at by Jiang Yi’s deep eyes, she revealed a smear of shame as she lowered her head like someone who had a guilty conscience. Jiang Yi waved his hand and said, “Enough. I still have something to do; you may pray for fortune.”

Since the Black Flame Legions were the tyrants of the nearby vicinity, they must have a peak-stage Heaven Monarch expert. Jiang Yi wasn’t a Bodhisattva who would go around rescuing people in trouble. Countless people were getting killed at every moment in this world. Was he going to go rescue everyone? Back when he was being pursued, was there any expert that stopped by and rescued him? Since he had happened to encounter them, he didn’t have any problems in offering a hand; and it was something he should do. However, if he had gotten into a pit in order to help others, then he would be an idiot.

“My Lord...”

Seeing that Jiang Yi was going to leave, Tantai Shi finally revealed a trace of panic. She bit her lip and said, “This place is just a few million miles away from the East Imperial Continent. As long as we can pass through the Black Flame Legion’s territory, we will be able to reach the shore. This servant had brought thousands of clan warriors from Fire Beacon Continent and had been pursued by bandits all the way here, leaving only dozens of us right now. The Black Flame Legion is powerful, and this servant and her people will never make it. If my Lord... can assist us to reach the continent, this servant will greatly reward my Lord!”

Now that the theatrical double act had failed, she was preparing to entice him? Jiang Yi revealed a sneer and said, “Great reward? How great?”

“I...”

Tantai Shi was speechless in response. Jiang Yi was a peak-stage Heaven Monarch; would he be lacking celestial stones? She did have tens of millions of celestial stones, but Jiang Yi wouldn’t even take a glance if she were to offer it to him, right? Treasures were even more of a joke as Jiang Yi had two pseudo-divine artifacts with him.

Song Zhong and the rest of the people revealed a trace of agony as Jiang Yi gave everyone the impression that he was unfeeling and domineering. Such an individual would never go into war with the Black Flame Legion for them. When they thought about that bandit commander who was a brother-in-law of the Black Flame Legion’s Second Commander, many of them had despair in their eyes.

Tantai Shi bit her lip, and after looking at the two children carried by the servant girls, she revealed a trace of resolution in her eyes and transmitted a message to Jiang Yi. “My Lord, if... you can bring us to the East Imperial Continent, this servant will serve my Lord. This servant is of the Butterfly Lady Race!”

“Butterfly Lady Race?”

Jiang Yi didn’t hear of it before. His heart didn’t have a hint of ripple either, and he hated such deals. He grunted, and his essence force resonated as he was about to fly off.

“Uncle!”

Suddenly, a timid voice echoed, and it belonged to that little girl. The voice was filled with desire, and Jiang Yi stopped as his heart went soft. He turned his face sideways and forced himself to speak coldly, “There is anything else?”

“Uncle, can you help us?”

The little girl was very beautiful, and she opened up her big eyes and said, “Uncle, if you can bring us to find my grandfather, I can help grandfather buy you many candies to eat. Xiao Yu will also be grateful to Uncle for my entire life.”

“Candy?”

When Jiang Yi’s peripheral vision saw those pure and hopeful eyes, his heart indescribably softened.

A child’s world was too simple. In their world, if they were grateful to someone, they would offer candy. They didn’t understand deception and didn’t understand the cruelty of this world. They only understand gratitude, and they understood that they should give the thing they liked the most to their benefactors.

“Sigh...”

Jiang Yi thought about the time when he was young. He might have had a miserable time back at Skyplume City’s Jiang Clan, but he was kind and had righteousness. When he saw the beggars on the streets, he would offer his already insufficient money to him. Whenever he saw those ruffians bullying the elderly, he would feel aggrieved.

As time elapsed, his heart had slowly hardened, so much that he didn’t even have any guilt when killing someone. His heart might still have a bottom line as he didn’t kill commoners, but he would still kill opposing martial artists who didn’t attack him without a blink of the eye.

What exactly is erasing our original goodness? What exactly made us so cold-blooded and heartless? What exactly made countless people slaughter as soon as they met? This rotten world...

Jiang Yi let out a long sigh and paused for a moment before he made a foolish decision. He turned around and smiled at the little girl and asked, “Are you really going to get your grandfather to buy candies for me?”

“...”

Everyone was struck dumb. Jiang Yi had been unfeeling and domineering for the whole time, and his appearance was also of a grim-looking middle-aged man. Now that he suddenly grinned and spoke such child-like words, there was just too great a disparity that everyone couldn’t accept.

The little girl let out a sweet smile and said, “Of course, it is true. We can do a pinky promise.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi nodded and smiled. “Then I shall bring you to the East Imperial Continent!”

“Wa!”

Everyone was in an uproar while Tantai Shi was stupefied. Earlier on, she had agreed to use her body as a reward, but Jiang Yi treated it with disdain. Right now, he actually agreed just because her daughter requested it?

The little girl tilted her head, let out a joyful smile, and said, “Uncle is a good person. Mother said that good people will have good karma!”

Jiang Yi smiled and nodded. When he saw that everyone was still dumbstruck and couldn’t react in time as they stood there foolishly, his expression turned stern as he regained his grim look and spoke in a cold voice, “What are you idling around for? Go and activate the Heaven Fate Ship!”

“Oh, okay!”

Song Zhong and the others flew into the Heaven Fate Ship in a panicking manner while Tantai Shi regained her composure and bowed with a face filled with gratitude. “Many thanks, my Lord. This servant is extremely grateful.”

Jiang Yi nodded indifferently and flew towards the Heaven Fate Ship while Tantai Shi and the others followed quickly. When the little girl landed, she started to run around the deck with joy while the little boy—who was around the same age as her—hid shyly behind Tantai Shi.

“Give me a solitary cabin!”

Jiang Yi waved his hand while Song Zhong quickly led Jiang Yi into one of the cabins. After he entered, he sat cross-legged and spoke in an indifferent voice, “Later on, I will transmit messages to you. You will fly wherever I tell you to fly. If you don’t listen to my orders, you don’t have to wait for the Black Flame Legion to kill all of you. I will do it myself.”

“Understood!”

Song Zhong and the others bowed and accepted the orders while their hearts were ecstatic. With this mysterious expert with them, they might not be completely safe, but there was a greater chance for them to reach the East Imperial Continent.

After everyone went out, Jiang Yi opened up the cabin’s restriction and immediately released his Divine Perception, scouting the radius of ten million miles. He quickly scouted something and transmitted a message to Song Zhong: “Turn back and fly at the fastest speed to the south.”

“Understood!”

Song Zhong might not understand why were they flying south, but he didn’t dare to go against Jiang Yi. The Heaven Fate Ship turned back and flew across the sky with the fastest speed to the south.

That small bandit legion still has half a day before reaching Black Flame Island. Let’s hope we can successfully cast them off.

Jiang Yi let out a slight sigh. He had decided to go with this group of people, not only because of the little girl but also because he could release the Divine Perception on the Heaven Fate Ship at any time, allowing him to avoid the bandits with ease.

Of course, the most important reason was his wanting to get information about the East Imperial Continent from these people. If he was to enter the East Imperial Continent with this group of people, it wouldn’t attract any unwanted attention as well.
