"If we can't just leave it at that, what else do we need to do? It was just an accident." Feng Xing frowned, asking somewhat strangely. He didn't understand what these people meant. He had already said it was an accident, so what were they trying to find out?
"How can it be an accident? He clearly caused it," someone said, pointing at Ye Lang.
"Young Master said it was an accident!!" Feng Xing's tone was very certain, as if he wouldn't allow anyone to have any further objections.
However, someone failed to grasp the implication and continued to question him. This person seemed to be Edward, who said, "Lord Fengxing, didn't you just say that if everyone says so, then it's an undeniable fact? If that's the case, why do you still believe his one-sided story?"
Feng Xing glanced at Edward, a hint of impatience and disdain in his eyes. He replied, "For others, we might consider whether their words are one-sided, but for you, Young Master, there's no need to consider that at all. He wouldn't lie, nor would he have any reason to lie!"
"Why not? Why is it unnecessary?" Edward asked, puzzled as to why Feng Xing would say such a thing, as it seemed to contradict the principles of their Knights of Light.
The principles of the Knights of Light are fairness, justice, and righteousness. If it is fair, then why can one blindly trust or favor one person?
"Because he is Young Master, he wouldn't lie! He has no need to, because even if it was his doing, even if it was intentional, we won't hold him accountable!" Feng Xing replied calmly.
"Why?" Edward and the others didn't understand.
"Just the fact that he is Young Master is enough!!!" Feng Xing said, word by word, and as he spoke, the other members of the Holy City nodded in agreement.
"??" Edward and the others were even more confused now.
"Why does this scoundrel get such treatment? Is it just because he's the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan?" The girl murmured, equally bewildered.
"You're being far too biased. How can we believe such a claim?" Edward and the others continued to press the issue relentlessly.
"What does it matter whether you believe it or not? This is the Holy City!! Besides, I believe there will be others who will believe it!" Feng Xing frowned, looking at Edward with some displeasure, and specifically pointed out that this was the Holy City, their place, not Edward's.
"Believe?! I believe no one here will believe it, except for people like you!!!" Edward seemed oblivious to what was said in the middle and continued to mock.
However, to his surprise, immediately after he finished speaking, a series of voices began to emerge...
I believe it!
I believe it!
"I believe it too!!!"
Within the Royal Academy camp and also within the Ye Family Academy, voices of "I believe" were heard everywhere, a situation that surprised almost everyone.
"Ah..." Edward and the others stared wide-eyed, looking at these people in disbelief—
"Why would this happen? How could you believe him?"
"Because he is the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan..." This was the answer given by almost everyone at the same time, which was a bit puzzling.
This is almost identical to what Feng Xing said before. One said it was because he was Young Master, and the other said it was because he was the Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan. They were almost equally baffling answers.
However, those who find this inexplicable are those who don't know Ye Lang; those who do know Ye Lang can understand the answer.
"The Thirteenth Young Master of the Ye Clan? Which Ye Clan?" Edward was a little confused. He still didn't seem to know Ye Lang's true identity.
"The Soaring Sky Ye Family... no, now I should say... right, what should I say? The Ye Clan of Ye City? That doesn't seem right, anyway, it's the Ye Clan!!" Someone tried to explain, but found that no matter how they explained, they couldn't clarify which power Ye Lang's current Ye Clan to.
"The Ye Clan... Ye Lang, so he is that Ye Lang..." Everyone finally understood Ye Lang's identity, including Edward, but they still couldn't understand why these people thought Ye Lang's words could be believed.
This question has been raised by some people, and the answer to it is somewhat puzzling.
"Why? Because he never lies!" almost everyone answered.
"He never lies? How could that be? He's lied to people before..." Edward said immediately. Ye Lang had lied to someone that time, but he seemed to have forgotten that Ye Lang was helping him at that time.
"A lie is a lie, and a falsehood is a falsehood!" someone said.
What does this mean? Isn't lying a form of deception? Can anyone tell me what's going on with this group of people?
This contradictory idea is strange to many people, yet they also find it contradictory and normal. It is quite common for such a contradictory thing to happen to Ye Lang.
They believed Ye Lang would lie, and that he must have had a reason for lying, but none of them believed he would lie to others!
That's the contradiction!
"Alright, let's not discuss this anymore. In short, I believe in the Young Master!! Our entire Holy City will believe in him!!" Feng Xing didn't want to discuss this matter any further.
His words have cut off everyone's escape route and released the entire Holy City. Unless they are ungrateful and don't know what's good for them, they will stop discussing this matter.
This indirectly reflects the Holy City's attitude towards Ye Lang!
"I didn't expect Ye Lang to have such a big influence here. What has he done? Could it be that the legendary Muddleheaded Divine Physician is him?"
Many people who know Ye Lang have begun to speculate. The sudden appearance of the Muddleheaded Divine Physician was already shocking enough, but if he were to be compared with Ye Lang, it would be even more astonishing!
However, regardless of the circumstances, Ye Lang has once again inexplicably gained the support of a powerful force, and a rather peculiar one at that. He's incredibly lucky!
Goddess of Luck, you're so unfair!!!
"Ye Lang, give me back my feather!!" The Black-Winged Girl and her Second Sister finally appeared at this moment. The Black-Winged Girl did not sense the strange atmosphere at the scene, but only asked Ye Lang to return the feather.
The appearance of the Black-Winged Girl changed the atmosphere, making it less tense than before, but it was still a bit strange. The Black-Winged Girl herself was an odd existence, and how did Ye Lang get involved with her?
