When these people arrived, they all bowed to the Knights of Light, which once again proved that this Knights of Light held a very high position!
Feng Xing raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities! Are you the people in charge of investigating this matter?" While confirming the matter, he was also telling the others that he had just happened to be passing by.
These people who came over were the ones in charge of this matter. Because the palace was so large, they were all separated and far apart when they were investigating, and they only gathered together after they found clues.
"Yes!" everyone nodded in response.
"How so?" Feng Xing asked simply.
A Knights of Light stepped forward and said, "Lord Fengxing, our investigation suggests that this palace was destroyed by someone, but we need to find him to find out!"
"The same message I received here is true. If one or two people say it can't be believed, but everyone is saying it, then it's an undeniable fact!" Feng Xing said calmly, turning to face Ye Lang. At this moment, he didn't know who it was, only that it should be behind him.
"Yes..." Feng Xing looked at the people nearby, signaling them to point again.
"It's him!!" Almost simultaneously, many students pointed to one person— Ye Lang!
At this moment, some people felt particularly smug. Seeing so many people from the Holy Church, they could imagine how tragic Ye Lang's fate would be.
They were now filled with anticipation and excitement; they wanted to see the "arrogant" Ye Lang suffer, the greater the suffering, the better!
Those who had some connection with Ye Lang and supported Ye Lang didn't want to see this outcome. They wanted to help but were powerless to do so, because this time Ye Lang had offended the Holy City, something no force could control!
Suddenly, everyone seemed to notice that Ye Lang, as the core figure, was still the same as before. This was not surprising, since Ye Lang had always been like this; he didn't care about many things.
But even the Seventh Princess Ye Lanyu was like this, as if nothing had happened, which made those who knew them a little puzzled, especially since Zhen Xiaoyan was also like this, which made them even more curious!
Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess could be said to be worldly-wise and calm in the face of adversity, but Zhen Xiaoyan is not that kind of person. She is more of a woman, and she gets nervous and worried if anything happens!
But even Zhen Xiaoyan acted very normally at this time, so there must be something wrong here!
"So it was you... Do you know how much manpower and resources it took to build this palace? And now you've destroyed it all! You... you... go back and reflect on your actions!! Everyone, tidy up and find a place to settle these students!!" When Feng Xing looked at Ye Lang, he was initially very serious and a little angry, but his anger quickly disappeared, turning into surprise, and finally into helplessness.
Feng Xing's series of complex expressions went unnoticed by the others; they were simply staring wide-eyed, hardly believing their ears—was this really true?
Go back and reflect on your actions. Isn't that the same as letting Ye Lang off the hook?
Ye Lang "destroyed" the entire palace, yet nothing happened to him—this was utterly unbelievable!
Could it be that the Ye Clan could influence the Holy City? This was the speculation of those who knew Ye Lang's identity, but they quickly dismissed the idea. After all, the Ye Clan was just the Ye Clan; something that even the Empire couldn't do, the Ye Clan couldn't possibly accomplish.
Okay, let's just assume that Lord Fengxing was wrong; his words might not be accepted by his subordinates!
At this point, some people can only think of this explanation in their hearts, feeling that it is just one person's Feng Xing, his own mistake, and that everyone will make small mistakes.
But soon, their mouths widened even further, simply because—
"Understood! Everyone hurry up and get to work, don't let others think that our Holy City has neglected our guests!!" The other Knights of Light and Knights of Light Guard did the same, glancing at Ye Lang before turning to clean up the mess.
They should have taken action to hold someone accountable, but not a single one of them did!
What the hell is going on? Can't they see Ye Lang??
"Hey, stop right there!!"
At this moment, someone called out to the Knights of Light and his companions. There were several people speaking at this time, all of whom felt indignant about the matter. Although it seemed that this matter did not have much impact on them, the Holy City, who were supposed to speak up, remained silent, and they could not concern themselves with this trivial matter.
There was nothing strange about these people shouting, but everyone seemed to hear, no, everyone saw, that Ye Lang actually spoke and waved to those people.
"..."
What is this kid trying to do? Does he want to suffer for himself? That's what most people are thinking at this moment.
The Feng Xing and the other members of the Light Army stopped. They could ignore what the others said, but since Ye Lang had spoken, they had no choice but to stay. At this moment, they thought to themselves: What do you want to do? Do you really want us to come and interrogate you before you are satisfied?
Seeing that Feng Xing and the others had stayed, some others began to criticize them, righteously criticizing them. At this moment, they all believed that Feng Xing and the others stayed because of them, and would never have thought that it was because of Ye Lang.
"Lord Fengxing, is it? Why didn't you punish him? Is it forgivable to damage the Holy City?" At this moment, Mr. Edward, representing justice, appeared. He held Kasha's hand, looking as if he was not afraid of power.
At this time, Edward seemed to have an aura about him, which made many people fascinated by him.
"Damaging the Holy City is an unforgivable act, and we will impose the most severe punishment on you!" Feng Xing frowned and replied.
"If that's the case, then why did you all sit idly by and do nothing about the crime he committed, as if you didn't see it?" Edward continued to question, at which point he felt as if he had become a hero.
"Who are you talking about?" At this moment, Feng Xing had no choice but to pretend to be confused.
"He's talking about me. I don't seem to be invisible. Didn't any of you see me?" Ye Lang deliberately appeared at this moment, making himself the target of everyone's criticism.
"... Ye Lang, you still have some awareness, you know to step up and take responsibility!!" Edward looked at Ye Lang and nodded, seemingly agreeing with Ye Lang's actions.
"Take responsibility? I want to make this clear, you people are really boring." Ye Lang frowned slightly and said with some disgust.
