C14 The Youth on the Interrogation Platform

"I don't know."

Ye Shan seemed to be minding his words like gold. He sat on the grandstand with his back straight like a pine tree.

"Heh..."

Gu Tang opened his eyes. His tone was mocking and laughable.

"Master Martial Marquis..."

He emphasized the word "Martial Marquis" and then changed his tone.

"Are you trying to protect your son?"

Ye Shan was unmoved, but he still responded faintly.

"The time has yet to arrive, the crime of my son has yet to be determined, and the Star Soul Attraction has yet to be lost. How can you say that you want to protect my son?"

Ye Shan sighed in his heart. City Lord, are you in such a hurry to convict the Ye family? Wasn't his appearance a little too ugly?

"It's been two hours since we arrived. City Lord, if the time has come, and the third young master of your family still doesn't appear, what kind of crime would you have committed?"

On the west side of the grandstand, Lau Canghai coldly questioned. However, the city master did not stop him. Clearly, he had already tacitly agreed to it. Gu Tang did not intend to waste too much time talking. Naturally, there would be someone who would sentence him to a crime.

He only needed to make a final decision and decide whether he lived or died.

"Lau Canghai, you are still not the master of Star Sculpting City."

Ye Shan looked at the opposite side. His tone didn't change, but his words were somewhat sarcastic. Lau Canghai's heart was instantly filled with anger, but he could not find any words to reply in a short period of time.

How could this Ye Shan still speak to him in such a way?! What right did he have!?

On the north side, someone laughed lightly. It was a man with a scholarly appearance. He was holding a feather fan in his hand and lightly flapping it. It was the head of the Bai family, Bai Jiuchen.

"That child didn't come. Why are you two adults so anxious? Don't you think so, Brother Yang? "

"Humph, I'm afraid only Master Martial Marquis knows whether he's not here or not."

"Interesting. Black Kill, what time is it now?"

"Master, it's already thirty minutes."

"When is the interrogation?"

"My lord, it's noon."

Gu Tang's cold face was filled with ridicule. He raised his head and said.

"Then let's wait for another moment. I really want to see what the person who dares to make us wait for him looks like!"

"There's no need."

Suddenly, a clear voice of a youth could be heard from afar, echoing throughout the silent arena. There was a commotion in the dense crowd, and not long after, a path was automatically opened by the crowd, and a youth in white clothes appeared. He calmly stood outside the crowd.

Ye Mingyang once again saw this familiar scene. This scene that had caused his heart to ache for countless nights. His face was still calm. There was no fear, no anger, no panic. There was only an inexplicable calmness.

It looked like he knew what would happen.

He walked along the path where the crowd automatically separated and walked step by step towards the center of the field. Many people who had never seen Ye Mingyang stretched out their necks at this moment, wanting to see what the famous "cripple" in Star Sculpting City looked like.

Countless eyes were fixed on Ye Mingyang, and there was surprise in their eyes. Some were curious, some were mocking him. He was like a flame in the darkness. He silently moved forward. If it was someone else with a weaker mental fortitude who came over, being stared at by so many people, their legs might even bend.

One step, two steps, three steps...

When he walked to the interrogation stand, he looked at the wooden stand that was half the height of a person and stopped in his tracks.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I forgot, Young Master Ye can't cultivate. Who can help him climb up such a tall stage?"

At this moment, Lau Yufeng's face was full of ridicule and anger. The moment he saw Ye Mingyang, the things that happened in the Artifact Refining Pavilion kept echoing in his mind, causing him to be unable to help but ridicule him.

Ye Mingyang raised his eyelids and looked at Lau Yufeng who was looking down from above, then he said in a flat tone.

"What's wrong? The tough and low-key Young Master Liu is going to express his opinion again?"

As soon as he finished his sentence, there was already laughter in the crowd. In the past two days, no one knew where the conversation between Ye Mingyang and Lau Yufeng had started. The words "low-profile and strong-willed man" had made Lau Yufeng the laughing stock of Star Sculpting City.

Lau Yufeng was infuriated for a moment. He glared at Ye Mingyang angrily, as if he was going to tear Ye Mingyang to pieces. Lau Canghai looked coldly at his second son and said.

"Quiet."

Useless trash! To be able to make a cripple act like a monkey.

With a light leap, Ye Mingyang had already arrived at the grandstand. Gu Tang was looking at him with great interest. No one knew what he was thinking, but when his gaze landed on Ye Mingyang, he suddenly smiled.

"Who is it below the stage? Report your name."

"Ye Mingyang."

"Do you know who I am?" asked the young man.

Gu Tang still had a smile on his face, as if he was asking his own nephew.

"I know, Star Sculpting City City Lord, Master Gu Tang."

As soon as his voice faded, the smile on Gu Tang's face disappeared.

"Then why didn't you kneel?"

Gu Tang's tone was extremely cold, and it carried an irresistible majesty. What came along with it was the pressure of a Star Fusion Stage warrior.

He really didn't like Ye Mingyang's current calm appearance. Although he didn't think Ye Mingyang was important, the little bug was just a little bug, and it should have the appearance of a little bug.

"Kneel down!"

The pressure was like a huge mountain, pressing down on Ye Mingyang. Although Ye Mingyang's cultivation base was at the moment, he was only a warrior of the five sects, and Gu Tang was not as simple as a newly advanced Star Fusion Stage.

The difference in cultivation base between the two of them was like heaven and earth.

At this moment, Ye Mingyang felt that the surrounding air had become solid, and it was squeezing towards him from all directions. He didn't want to kneel down. At this moment, the veins on Ye Mingyang's head were bulging. Even his face had a trace of ferociousness. He had used all the strength in his body to resist this pressure. However, an endless pressure came from all directions, causing his legs to bend bit by bit.

I... cannot kneel!

The star power in Ye Mingyang's body almost stopped, but the golden veins connecting the five doors were shining slightly, which was the key to supporting him.

I... can't kneel! The future has changed!

Ye Mingyang clenched his fist tightly, and even his nails pierced deep into his palm, but he did not notice it at all. Fresh blood dripped from the gaps of his fingers, falling to the ground like rotten and blooming flowers.

In his previous life, Ye Mingyang's personality was still very cowardly. The moment he saw Gu Tang, he knelt down on the ground.

After that was his father, and then... the Ye family!

But in this life, everything had changed!

"I... am the son of Martial Marquis, why should I kneel!"

Ye Mingyang let out a low roar from his throat. The Five Gates in his body were shining brightly. The golden veins were like bridges connecting to each other, emitting waves of heat. The star power that had almost stopped seemed to be stimulated as well. It began to circulate slowly.

Ye Mingyang straightened his bent legs bit by bit, then looked directly at Gu Tang and asked word by word from his hoarse throat.

"Why should I kneel?"

Suddenly, the pressure dissipated. Gu Tang sat there with a face full of ridicule, like he was looking at an ant struggling on the verge of death. He smiled and said, "I forgot that you are Martial Marquis's father. Someone, give me a seat."

Martial Marquis? Gu Tang sneered in his heart.

Soon, someone moved a short chair and placed it behind Ye Mingyang. But gradually, the fake smile on Gu Tang's face slowly faded, and it became cold again.

Because Ye Mingyang had never sat down.

Gu Tang was very unhappy. He felt that his dignity had been challenged. Whether it was kneeling or sitting, it was his words. Even though he didn't make Ye Mingyang kneel because of Ye Shan's name, in his heart... An ant had defied him for the first time. There shouldn't be a second time.

This was something that had never happened before.

In his eyes, Ye Mingyang was already a dead man.

"Ye Mingyang, do you know your crime?"

He had finally come!

There was a commotion in the crowd below, but it still came at this moment. Next would be the new beginning of the Star Sculpting City, right?

Even those people in the stands couldn't help but sit up straight. What was going to happen next would be closely related to them. They were going to rejoin the team in the new storm. At this moment, it was the prelude of the storm.

What was funny was that no one cared about how Ye Mingyang would answer.

Everyone saw how Gu Tang forced Ye Mingyang to kneel, but...

No one cared about these unimportant things.

Even the people from the Ye family thought the same thing. It wasn't strange for them to think this way. In the Ancient Nether Continent, no matter how noble your background was, as long as you were a person who couldn't cultivate. Then...

No one really cares about you.

Therefore, whether Ye Mingyang was guilty or not, how he would answer, what would happen to him, no one would care.

Because they could foresee it. On the interrogation platform, the perfectly straight young man was destined to be a pitiful victim, the object of tears in the eyes of the weak.

That was all.
