Chapter 328: The Tenth Review
“Disrespectful! Uh, uh, uh... I understand now…” Chu Yang felt embarrassed, hastily changing his words.
Stone Shock mumbled a couple of times, glaring with his brows furrowed, and finally stopped talking.
Everyone suppressed their laughter, but some shoulders were still trembling. All of them were peers, and seeing this old guy's frustration, they couldn’t help but feel a bit schadenfreude.
“This is Ling Fengyun, the Ancestral Patriarch of the Ling Family,” the Night Emperor continued to introduce...
“Disres- I mean... I understand.” Chu Yang almost returned to using 'disrespectful' again, quickly changing his words mid-sentence, but it still came out with a lingering tone, causing another round of suppressed laughter from the crowd.
“Hahaha…” No one dared to laugh openly, but suddenly, the little loli beside Chu Yang burst into laughter.
This crisp laughter came out of nowhere, a perfect stroke of genius.
The crowd was momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter together, leaning forward and backward. Even the usually serious and indifferent Law Sovereign couldn't help but join in the hearty laughter.
Stone Shock's face turned purple then red, red then purple, but with the Law Sovereign also laughing, he absolutely dared not explode in anger.
He resentfully sat down, and with a ‘poof,’ he broke the chair he was sitting on, then swiftly went out like a gust of wind to fetch another chair.
Chu Le'er was extremely intelligent; how could she not see the situation?
So, her laughter, while appearing innocent to anyone, was indeed intentional.
Chu Yang naturally understood this.
But Chu Yang had a good grasp of the situation; everyone was laughing, but he couldn't. So he kept a tight-lipped, serious expression.
The Night Emperor laughed for a while before introducing others to Chu Yang. As he introduced them, the atmosphere in the hall grew increasingly tense.
Finally, the introductions were complete.
The atmosphere suddenly fell silent.
Finally, the Night Emperor spoke first: “Chu Yang, you should know why we called you here today?”
Chu Yang sighed, “Is it about what happened last night?”
“You understand well!” the Night Emperor said darkly. “Last night, because of your news, the nine great clans were thrown into chaos. You must provide an explanation for this matter!”
“An explanation?!” Chu Yang asked, puzzled. “What do you want me to explain?”
“What do you think you should explain?” Xiao Se slammed the table in anger. “Hundreds of saint level experts have died due to your words! More than seven or eight supreme beings have been scattered because of you! What do you have to say? Huh?!”
Chu Yang protested indignantly, “But what does this have to do with me... I just... wanted to sincerely help a friend…”
Instantly, all the supreme beings looked at Chu Yang with eyes that could eat him alive.
Sincerely helping a friend? Did you just send your friends straight to hell with your help?
“Night Slaying Wind is looking for you to buy information; that’s right, isn’t it?” the Night Emperor suppressed his anger and said.
“That’s true!” Chu Yang did not deny it.
“Ye Mengse sought you for the same information. That’s correct, right?” Ye Qingchou asked.
“Indeed.” Chu Yang nodded.
“Ling Quanshui came to you seeking information; that’s also correct,” Ling Fengyun asked.
“Ah, so his name is Ling Quanshui. Yes, someone from the Ling Family did come to me,” Chu Yang said proudly. “And I helped him because of Second Master Ling from the Ling Family.”
Ling Fengyun puffed out his beard and glared, becoming silent in annoyance. You... If you have such help to offer, better help someone else; our Ling Family can’t afford your kind of help...
“Our Stone Family bought information from you, right?” Stone Shock asked.
“Elder Stone, you’ve got it wrong. They came to me for information; I didn’t actively sell it,” Chu Yang explained. “This involves the issue of being active versus passive, and that must be clarified.”
