1053 Yu Huang Reported Him Just Like That (1)
When these ascenders determined that He Zhiqiu was guilty, He Zhiqiu’s innocence no longer mattered. Even if He Zhiqiu told these ascenders the truth about the energy transmission tubes underground, these ascenders probably wouldn’t believe every word he said.
They would only think that He Zhiqiu was lying to clear his name.
At the thought of this, He Zhiqiu felt dejected.
The feeling of being alone in an alternate world and being bullied by the people of an alternate world while being alone and helpless was too despairing.
Yuan Ying lowered his eyes and looked at He Zhiqiu, who was crying. His gaze was cold, as if he was looking at a group of ants carrying food on a rainy day. “He Zhiqiu! The evidence is conclusive. Do you admit your guilt?”
Upon hearing Yuan Ying’s words, the ascenders fell silent.
At this moment, they had all calmed down.
He Zhiqiu had destroyed the entire spiritual field. This was a serious crime, and he definitely couldn’t escape punishment. The spiritual field had lost its vitality, so they couldn’t plant spiritual herbs anymore. Presumably, after Mr. Philand found out about this, he would set up a new assessment mission for them.
With this thought, everyone regained their rationality. They looked at He Zhiqiu with disappointment and disgust.
He was already so old, so why was he so stubborn?
When they all fell silent, He Zhiqiu raised his head and saw the expressions of the ascendants.
Those disgusted gazes made He Zhiqiu’s heart ache.
He Zhiqiu picked up his walking stick and slowly got up. Then, he walked to Yuan Ying while trembling and said firmly, “I won’t admit guilt!”
Yuan Ying’s eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he said with a fake smile, “You destroyed the most precious spirit field base on the continent. This is a huge crime that is punishable by having your soul destroyed, yet you actually refuse to confess! What, do you think you can leave after you caused trouble?”
“Since you’re an ascender from a small world, you should know your place and learn to abide by the rules of the Cang Lang Continent.” In the eyes of the locals of the Cang Lang Continent, other than the ascenders from the nine other super Great Worlds, the ascenders from the other worlds were all country bumpkins from small worlds.
It was precisely because of this that Yuan Ying dared to bully He Zhiqiu.
When the other ascenders heard Yuan Ying’s words, they naturally felt uncomfortable.
They were all ascenders from small worlds.
So in the eyes of these experts from super Great Worlds, they were actually so lowly?
A deputy manager surnamed Zhang noticed the reactions of the other ascenders and couldn’t help but approach Yuan Ying. He reminded him softly, “Director, watch your words.”
Yuan Ying raised his eyes and glanced at the other ascenders. Seeing their angry faces, he realized that he had misspoken. Yuan Ying couldn’t offend all these ascenders, so he added, “He Zhiqiu, you should learn from the ascenders behind you. They are also ascenders, but they are very down-to-earth and diligent.”
However, when they heard Yuan Ying’s comforting words, those ascenders didn’t feel any better.
“He Zhiqiu, whether you’re willing to confess or not, you have to follow me today! You have to accept the punishment of the continent’s laws!” With that, Yuan Ying grabbed He Zhiqiu’s right arm and pulled him away.
Those ascenders opened their mouths to try to stop him, but no one dared to.
To be honest, they were all ascenders from small worlds. It wasn’t easy for them to come to the Cang Lang Continent. Who was willing to take the risk to offend a powerful manager of the Cang Lang Continent for an old man?
It wasn’t worth it.
At this moment, an aloof and crisp female voice came from below. “Wait!”
After Yuan Ying stopped in his tracks and turned around to look down the terraced field, he saw a woman riding a sword.
The woman was wearing a black sweater and light blue jeans. Her long black hair was casually tied into a bun, and her face was covered in dirt, making it impossible to see her original appearance.
The woman jumped down from the sword and landed behind He Zhiqiu.
“Director.” Yu Huang raised her hand and held He Zhiqiu’s right arm. Her hand happened to land below Yuan Ying’s hand.
When He Zhiqiu saw Yu Huang return, he immediately cursed angrily, “Why did you come back?!”
Yu Huang didn’t answer He Zhiqiu.
She raised her chin slightly and looked at Yuan Ying. Her calm gaze was filled with determination as she said, “Director, there’s something I’m very puzzled about. As the Director here, I think you must be able to enlighten me.”
