Kindness must be repaid with kindness

Aster could easily tell by Ixas's voice tone, that he wasn't exactly excited to enter the Emerald Heart mansion, and he understood why, he has been trapped here because the Emerald Whirlwind had a grudge against him and his cultivation was suppressed to the point where he was practically bullied by it.

"I was too impulsive back then, but I have learned from my mistake and no longer resent the Emerald Whirlwind, also I have to thank you because although I'm pretty sure getting the Emerald Whirlwind is out of my possibilities, if I manage to reach the end of the trials I will be allowed to return to my home", said Ixas with a genuine thankful voice.

Aster nodded in response, he saw from the corner of his eyes that the girls had woken up and were all coming to the living room.

"Good morning, ladies", said Aster, which earned him a smile from most of them, the only exceptions were the protectors of Natasha and Charlotte who only nodded at him.
