"Young Master, what do you have to say?" Feng Xing bowed to Ye Lang and then asked respectfully.
At this time, the Feng Xing respect was seen as politeness, and so was bowing. As for the title "Young Master," it was probably also a polite way of addressing someone.
"What I'm saying is that this house was indeed destroyed by the Alchemy Array, but this Alchemy Array belongs to you; it was originally hidden inside the house!" Ye Lang said, pointing to the ruins in front of him.
"Ye Lang, if you're going to talk big, at least make it believable. This is unbelievable!" Edward shook his head and said.
"Yeah, you scoundrel, who would believe that? Who would put such Alchemy Array in their own palace? If it were a defensive Alchemy Array, that would be one thing, but a self-destructive one? Who would be so bored as to do something so pointless?!" the girl said from the side, questioning the idea.
The girl's question reflected the doubts of almost everyone present!
"I can't explain this either. The existence of this Alchemy Array is indeed a bit strange, but it's a fact!" Ye Lang looked at the ruins in front of him, pondering the question.
"Hmph, who are you trying to fool?! I don't believe your nonsense!!!" the girl scoffed, completely disbelieving Ye Lang's words.
"Ye Lang, what you're saying is really far-fetched... No one will believe it!!" Edward shook his head and said, looking regretful.
At this time, everyone else shared the same thought: they didn't believe it!
However, the most important group of people, Feng Xing and others, said something that surprised most of the people present, yet was expected by some.
"I believe! We believe!!" Feng Xing said.
"Look, they won't believe it... Wait, what did you just say? You believe it?" Edward said habitually at this moment, but he was surprised to find that Feng Xing said was not what he had imagined.
"Yes! We believe you!! Young Master, if that's the case, you should have said so earlier. We were all afraid to talk to you!!" At this moment, Feng Xing seemed to have been relieved of a heavy burden and became relaxed.
"You didn't ask, and you couldn't even see me at first!!" Ye Lang waved his hand, looking completely innocent.
"... Hehe, this was an accident. Who told you to be so extravagant this time? This palace is one of the ten great palaces of the Holy City. We originally wanted to give you the best place to live, but it's ruined like this!" Feng Xing laughed awkwardly.
Feng Xing's behavior clearly told everyone present that he had pretended not to see Ye Lang he was afraid of being arrested and punished.
This also tells everyone that Ye Lang has a very special status in this Holy City, and even a high-ranking Knights of Light like Feng Xing has to give him face.
Judging from this, even if Ye Lang demolished the palace, they wouldn't pursue the matter. It seems that Ye Lang's boast was true; even if he did it, the Knights of Light wouldn't dare to investigate.
As for the "minor matter" of having the Knights of Light clean up the mess, needless to say, the facts are already clear: the Knights of Light is currently cleaning up the mess!
"You need to understand this: this palace was destroyed by Alchemy Array. I don't know how they designed it; it's so unstable. I didn't even touch it, and it activated unexpectedly!" Ye Lang said. "It was just an accident; I didn't do it!"
"Yes, it was an accident!" Feng Xing nodded. Since Ye Lang said it was an accident, even if it wasn't, it still had to be called an accident.
"That's right! By the way, what are you doing here? Weren't you with that old man, Sida?" Ye Lang asked Feng Xing, somewhat puzzled.
This Feng Xing wasn't someone Ye Lang knew well, having always been in the Muddleheaded Hall before, and it seemed he was there yesterday as well.
Perhaps that's why Feng Xing treats Ye Lang this way. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't offend Ye Lang, but they wouldn't be so respectful either.
Those who have met Ye Lang gradually come to like him. It's a very unique aura about him. At the same time, because of Ye Lang's abilities demonstrated in the past few months, Feng Xing has come to respect Ye Lang. This respect transcends age, profession, and status.
"Sida Star is currently discussing matters at the Cloudtop Palace, so I took the opportunity to rest and came out to take a look, and just happened to run into this matter!" Feng Xing replied.
"So you were slacking off, huh? Don't worry, I won't tell Sida!" Ye Lang gave me a knowing look.
"..." Feng Xing remained silent. "Young Master, this isn't slacking off. Cloudtop Palace is the safest place in the Holy City. Besides, I need to rest too. Someone will keep an eye on Sida Star for me!"
"Alright, no need to explain, I understand!" Ye Lang waved his hand and said.
"..."
Damn, this is hard to explain. What exactly do you understand?
"Alright, that's settled then, Young Master. Please wait here for a while while I inform them to make arrangements for your accommodations. Also, Young Master, would you prefer a separate room?" Feng Xing asked Ye Lang.
Besides considering Ye Lang's safety, he was also concerned about the safety of others. Being with Ye Lang might lead to another situation like this. Fortunately, everyone escaped this time without getting hurt. It would have been troublesome if they hadn't been able to escape in time.
The more I listened to these words, the more I realized that Ye Lang's status here was stronger than I had imagined. What exactly was going on?
Some people felt a little resentful about this, wondering why Ye Lang could receive such treatment. This was something many people dreamed of and tried every means to obtain.
"No need..." Ye Lang shook his head, refusing this privilege. This wasn't due to anything else, but because—
"My sister won't agree!"
That's right, how could Ye Lanyu agree to let Ye Lang be alone in another place? She wouldn't let Ye Lang leave.
"Good boy, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Ye Lanyu stroked Ye Lang's head and said with great satisfaction. She was very happy that Ye Lang still remembered her.
"That's unnecessary!" Ye Lang shook his head.
"Hey, are you just going to let this go like this?" Edward and the others on the side seemed to have had enough. They felt that things were going to just end like this.
Such a serious incident, destroying the palace and endangering everyone's safety, has simply been swept under the rug. This has angered and angered many people!
They seemed to have forgotten that this was the Holy City, not their place. Even the master of this place had said that everything was fine, so what right did they have to say that?
