Inside the cave, Su Xue'er was telling Wang Xiaoyan about Qian Chao.
When Qian Chao arrived at the tribe, Wang Xiaoyan was still a little excited, but this excitement was suppressed by the female ghost, otherwise, she wouldn't have stayed in the cave.
Seeing Qin Hui arrive, the two women's gazes turned towards him.
"No matter what, this matter needs to be settled. Let's go and see him," Qin Hui said.
Since Qin Hui had said so, Wang Xiaoyan's doubts were dispelled. If this was a fact that couldn't be changed by fate, then she would go and see him.
The scorching sun beat down on Qian Chao, making him cry out in agony. If he had been exposed to the sun for a few more days, he would have likely turned into a black person.
Seeing Qian Chao's miserable state, Wang Xiaoyan felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.
"Xiaoyan, you, you're here. Quickly, quickly tell them to let me down."
Qian Chao said with excitement. This was perhaps his only chance. Others couldn't wait to flay him alive.
"Qian Chao, stop fantasizing about these useless things. You're destined to never leave this isolated island."
"Speak, and tell us all the evil deeds you committed on the island. If you confess, perhaps I can spare your life."
Qin Hui twisted his neck, his expression serious.
"Hmph, I'd be a fool to believe you!"
Qian Chao was not stupid.
"Kid, since you won't speak, you can just hang there. You won't last a few days without food or water, and you'll die without us having to lift a finger."
"Even if you don't confess your evil deeds, do you think others won't?"
"You might not want to live, but others do."
Li Dazhuang sneered and directly threatened him.
As he watched everyone's gaze, Qian Chao became a little scared, because he knew that even if he didn't say anything, others would.
The result of speaking out would only be Wang Xiaoyan's disappointment in him, but... what was that compared to his life?
As long as he could leave the isolated island, he could reclaim everything that belonged to him. If he died on the island like this, then nothing would have any meaning.
With this thought, Qian Chao did not hesitate to confess all his evil deeds on the island. In fact, he wanted to conceal some of them, but with so many witnesses staring at him, if he misspoke even a single word, he would likely be left hanging there forever.
Wang Xiaoyan, who was standing beside him, was initially somewhat disbelieving. But as Qian Chao continued to confess, Wang Xiaoyan's heart was gradually shattered by reality. She never imagined that Qian Chao was such a person.
For his own selfishness, for his greed and desires, he had committed many inhumane acts.
After all, this was an isolated island where strength was paramount and there were no restraints; people did whatever they pleased.
And among them, women were undoubtedly Qian Chao's greatest outlet. Those once high-and-mighty women had to submit to him to survive, and now Qian Chao's retribution was finally coming.
"Qian Chao, is what you're saying true?"
Wang Xiaoyan asked, still somewhat unwilling.
"It's true, of course it's true!"
Qian Chao quickly nodded. Hurting a woman's heart was nothing. The most important thing was to get a chance to survive.
Hearing Qian Chao's most sincere answer, Wang Xiaoyan couldn't help the tears that welled up in her eyes. She turned and ran back into the cave.
Undoubtedly, Wang Xiaoyan's heart was now completely broken.
"I've told the truth now, can you let me down?"
Qian Chao said quickly. After saying this, he felt his throat dry and parched. If he didn't drink water soon, he would surely die of thirst.
"Give him a bowl of foot-washing water, and the chicken bones left from last night."
Qin Hui smiled faintly and turned to leave.
"Qin Hui, you, you didn't keep your word!"
Qian Chao, humiliated, roared loudly.
"When did I ever go back on my word?"
"I said I would give you a way to live, and I wouldn't kill you myself, but whether others kill you, I don't know."
Qin Hui said with a cold smile before walking towards his wooden hut, leaving only Qian Chao's helpless roars behind.
A few days later, Qian Chao finally couldn't bear the torment. He bit his tongue and committed suicide.
For someone who had once been so glorious, this kind of humiliation was worse than death. Suicide was his last resort to preserve his dignity.
Because he also knew that even if Qin Hui didn't kill him, there were plenty of people who wanted to kill him, and he was destined to not survive.
Perhaps dying sooner would bring earlier release.
Qian Chao's death undoubtedly further consolidated Qin Hui's position in the tribe. The people Qian Chao had brought with him had been thinking of resisting, but now that their leader was dead, they had no room to resist.
Their only thought now was to survive. Nothing gave them more hope than this.
Watching the tribe operate normally, Qin Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief. A month had passed since the yacht incident.
And during this month, no one had received any rescue. To leave the isolated island, they would likely have to rely on Qin Hui to find a way.
Under the current circumstances, although everyone could survive, the isolated island was not their home. They had family and friends on the mainland, and they constantly longed to return to the mainland, to their homes.
Qin Hui had also asked everyone to start preparing. With so many people, if they could build two large bamboo rafts, they could leave this isolated island.
Once they left the isolated island, they would encounter passing cruise ships. Once on a cruise ship, they would have hope.
Since others couldn't find the isolated island, Qin Hui had to go out himself.
After several days of busy work on the bamboo rafts, Qin Hui handed over the remaining matters to Li Dazhuang and busied himself with some leisure time.
Because, relatively speaking, Qin Hui prioritized cultivation. Less important matters could be handled by others.
"Do you want to break through to the Half-step Grandmaster realm before leaving the island?"
Wang Xiaoyan poured Qin Hui a cup of tea and asked calmly.
"Oh? Do you have a way?"
Qin Hui asked curiously.
Although the ghost tree roots had good effects, there was still some distance to break through to the Half-step Grandmaster. At this pace, it would take Qin Hui at least three months to reach the Half-step Grandmaster.
"It's very simple. Refine those ghost tree roots into pills, extract their essence, and swallow them in one go."
Wang Xiaoyan tapped the table with her fair fingers.
"I've thought of this method too, but it comes with great side effects. Firstly, the medicinal effect is too strong, and it cannot be digested in a short period of time. Full digestion will take three months."
"So the first side effect is the same as the normal consumption of ghost tree roots. The second side effect is that my body cannot withstand the immense energy, and it will burst!"
Qin Hui analyzed calmly.
Wang Xiaoyan nodded calmly to everything Qin Hui said, but she did not forget to add.
"If I have a way to compensate for these two side effects, do you still have confidence in yourself..."
