Chapter 333 (1/2)

I Believe (4)

“The matter has been settled, what else do you want? It was just an accident,” Feng Xing frowned. He didn’t understand what these people meant. He’d already said it was an accident, what more did they want?

“What accident? It’s obviously his fault,” someone pointed at Ye Lang.

“Sir said it was an accident!” Feng Xing’s tone sounded final, as if no one else was allowed to object.

Unfortunately, the rest did not interpret that from his tone. They continued raising questions, especially Edward, “Lord Feng Xing, didn’t you say you didn’t believe something just because of what someone said? Well if that is the case, why are you taking him at his word?”

Feng Xing turned to Edward. He was annoyed and now had a hint of mockery, “If it were someone else, I would consider not taking them for their word. However, if it was this gentleman here, I wouldn’t need to consider at all. He would never lie, and he doesn’t need to lie!”

“Why wouldn’t he lie? And why doesn’t he need to?” asked Edward. Why did Feng Xing say such a thing? This didn’t seem to align with their code of honour.

Light Riders had to stick to their code of honour, to be fair and just. How could he favour one person like this?

“Because he’s sir, he would never lie! And he doesn’t need to because even if he did it deliberately, we would never question him!” came Feng Xing’s light reply.

“Why?” Edward and the rest didn’t understand.

“Because he’s sir, and that is enough!” Feng Xing sounded each word slowly. And at the same time, the rest of the guards and riders agreed too.

“??” The crowd was more puzzled.

“Why does this sick bastard receive such a treatment here? All because he’s the Ye family’s thirteenth prince?” grumbled Fei, also puzzled.

“You’re all obviously protecting him! Your explanations aren’t even convincing,” Edward and the rest showed no signs of backing down.

“What has me being convincing have anything to do with you? This is Sheng City! Also, I know other people would believe him too!” Feng Xing frowned at him, now with a little disgust. This was Sheng City, not Edward’s territory.

“Believe him?! No one would believe him other than you!” Edward didn’t realise what the Rider had meant.

However, what he didn’t expect was other people to speak up right when he ended his sentence…

“I do!”

“I believe him!”

“Me too!”

Shouts of agreement came from the group of students from the Royal Institute and Ye Academy. It was something everyone didn’t expect.

“Ah…” Edward stared blankly at them, his mouth wide open in disbelief.

“Why? Why would you believe him?”
