Hearing this, Cheng Mingxiang's face immediately became serious. He took the letter from the student and began to read it.
As he read, Cheng Mingxiang's face gradually became gloomy. His expression became extremely unsightly and his eyes burned with raging flames of anger.
Seeing Cheng Mingxiang's expression, the youth who had been training with Cheng Mingxiang carefully asked, "Young master Cheng, what's wrong? Could it be that something has happened in the sect?"
Cheng Mingxiang tightly clenched his fist and crushed the letter into a ball. At this moment, his face was filled with malevolence and his eyes burned with raging flames of anger and intense resentment.
"Changyang Shōten …" Cheng Mingxiang gnashed his teeth and his fists made cracking sounds. From this, it could be seen how furious he was.
Hearing Cheng Mingxiang say Changyang Shōten's name, the youth who had been training with Cheng Mingxiang became more and more puzzled. He asked again, "Young master Cheng, what happened?"
Cheng Mingxiang took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "His Majesty has already betrothed Princess Glan to Changyang Shōten. Moreover, they have already been engaged."
Hearing this, the youth's face slightly changed. He knew very well that Cheng Mingxiang had a special liking for Princess Glan. Ever since Cheng Mingxiang had first seen Princess Glan in the imperial palace a few years ago, he had already been deeply infatuated by Princess Glan's fairy-like appearance and outstanding talent. From then on, he had been unable to extricate himself.
In Cheng Mingxiang's heart, he had already set Princess Glan as his. After all, in the entire Kingdom of Gesun, only he, Cheng Mingxiang, was worthy of Princess Glan. Whether it was his family background or his talent, Cheng Mingxiang was not inferior to anyone. This was especially true for the Huayun Sect behind him. It was the number one power in the Kingdom of Gesun apart from the imperial family. In the Kingdom of Gesun, it was like a colossus with a transcendent status. As the young master of the Huayun Sect, his status was incomparably high.
Previously, Cheng Mingxiang had asked his father to propose marriage to His Majesty more than once, but at that time, his father had always rejected him with the reason that he should spend his time on cultivation and not delay his bright future for the sake of his children.
Although Cheng Mingxiang was dissatisfied with his father's rejection, he didn't say anything. This was because, at that time, Cheng Mingxiang had already decided that Princess Glan was his, and no one would be able to steal her away. After all, in the Gesun Kingdom, apart from himself, there was no one who could match up to Princess Glan, so he wasn't anxious at all.
However, he had never expected that there would be someone in Kargath Academy who was not the slightest bit weaker than him in terms of cultivation. In fact, Cheng Mingxiang's talent was even higher than his. Not only did Changyang Shōten's appearance completely suppress his reputation as a cultivation genius in Kargath Academy, but he had also snatched away his beloved. How could Cheng Mingxiang accept this?
The youth who was sparring with Cheng Mingxiang carefully looked at Cheng Mingxiang and said in a low voice, "Young master, what do you plan to do now?"
Cheng Mingxiang's eyes flashed with dense killing intent as he said in a deep voice, "Princess Glan belongs to me. In the Kingdom of Gesun, only I, Cheng Mingxiang, am worthy of her." Cheng Mingxiang's voice was filled with anger as he shouted, "Shala, call some people. We will go find Changyang Shōten. This time, I will teach him a good lesson for daring to snatch my woman."
"Yes, young master." The youth who was sparring with Cheng Mingxiang immediately ran out and began to contact some people.
With the powerful strength behind Cheng Mingxiang, he quickly gathered a group of people in the academy. There were a total of 16 people. They were all children of noble families and all had the strength of Saints. However, most of them had their magic cores stolen by Jianchen in the forest. As a result, they couldn't complete their mission at all. Because of this, they naturally resented Jianchen. At this moment, when they heard that Cheng Mingxiang was going to personally teach Jianchen a lesson, they all took the initiative to sign up and were willing to participate in this operation.
However, among them, there were two people that Jianchen was familiar with. They were Luo Jian of the Luo family and Ka Diyun of the Cardi family.
Cheng Mingxiang looked at the crowd calmly and couldn't help but show a smile on his face. He murmured in a low voice, "Very good. With so many people here, even if Changyang Shōten is crippled, Changyang Prefecture won't dare to say anything. After all, these people all have powerful forces behind them. At that time, even if His Majesty the King wants to intervene in this matter to protect Changyang Shōten, he will have a headache."
Although Cheng Mingxiang was confident that he could easily deal with Changyang Shōten by himself, Changyang Shōten's identity had been completely different from the past since His Majesty the King announced the engagement between Changyang Shōten and Princess Glan. Not only did he have Changyang Prefecture behind him, but also the royal family. In the face of these two forces, even if Cheng Mingxiang had a powerful background, he had to consider the consequences. If he simply taught Changyang Shōten a lesson, nothing would happen. However, Cheng Mingxiang didn't want to let Changyang Shōten off so easily. Therefore, he called a few more people with powerful backing to act together. At that time, even if Changyang Shōten was crippled or even killed, there were so many forces behind him. Even if His Majesty the King wanted to investigate, he had to consider the overall situation. In the face of so many forces, Changyang Prefecture didn't even have the courage to speak.
"Shala, immediately send someone to find Changyang Shōten's location. Remember, this matter must not be publicized. If the vice-principal or principal were to find out, all of our plans would fail completely." Cheng Mingxiang instructed the young man who previously sparred with him.
"Yes, Young Master."
After that, Shala directly spent money or relied on her connections to secretly inquire about Changyang Shōten's location in the academy. At the same time, she also sent many trusted people to search the entire Kargath Academy.
Kargath Academy was very calm. There wasn't the slightest ripple caused by the actions of Cheng Mingxiang and his group.
After two hours, the twenty over students that Shala sent to search for Changyang Shōten returned one after another.
"Young Master Cheng, we searched the entire Kargath Academy, but we didn't find any trace of Changyang Shōten." The leader in charge of searching for Changyang Shōten reported to Cheng Mingxiang.
Hearing this, Cheng Mingxiang frowned and said, "How is that possible? Could it be that Changyang Shōten isn't in the academy right now?"
"I heard that Changyang Shōten especially likes to go to the library. I don't know if you guys went to the library to search." Luo Jian, who was standing at the side, said. Although Luo Jian was stabbed by Jianchen a few days ago, after a few days of recuperation and taking good medicine, his injuries had already recovered.
"We also went to the library to search. Changyang Shōten isn't in the library." The person in charge of searching continued.
At this time, a slightly fat young man opened his mouth and said, "I heard that Changyang Shōten is this year's Newcomer King. The Newcomer King has the privilege of entering the first five floors of the library. Could it be that Changyang Shōten is hiding on the fifth floor of the library? If that's the case, then we can only wait for him to come out."
Hearing this young man's words, everyone, including Cheng Mingxiang, felt that it was very reasonable.
The leader in charge of searching for Changyang Shōten shook his head and said, "No, I have already asked the cleaning lady in the library. She said that Changyang Shōten didn't go to the library today."
"Could it be that Changyang Shōten really isn't in the academy?" Cheng Mingxiang frowned slightly.
At this time, the leader in charge of searching hesitated slightly and then said, "Young Master Cheng, although we didn't find Changyang Shōten, we found Changyang Hu in the small forest on the east side of the academy. Changyang Hu is Changyang Shōten's elder brother. I don't think he doesn't know where Changyang Shōten is."
Hearing this, Luo Jian's eyes lit up, but then his face became gloomy. He still remembered the scene that happened that night. The magic core in his hands was snatched away by the two Changyang Shōten brothers, Tie Ta, and a few others. He didn't have the guts to take revenge on Tie Ta, but he didn't have much fear in his heart towards the two brothers, Changyang Shōten and Changyang Hu.
"That's right, Changyang Hu must know where Changyang Shōten went. I suggest that we go ask Changyang Hu." Luo Jian said in a low voice, and his eyes flashed with a sharp gaze.
"Okay, let's go find Changyang Hu first."
Luo Jian's suggestion was quickly approved by everyone. Then, in order to not attract the attention of the other students, the dozen of them rushed towards the small forest on the east side of the academy in different groups.
When they arrived at the small forest, they saw that Changyang Hu was still practicing martial arts in the forest.
As soon as he saw Changyang Hu, Luo Jian's eyes suddenly burned with anger. At this moment, Changyang Hu might be too engrossed in practicing martial arts, but he didn't notice the arrival of Cheng Mingxiang and a dozen others.
Cheng Mingxiang and a dozen others quickly arrived in front of Changyang Hu, and cooperatively surrounded Changyang Hu in the middle. At this time, Changyang Hu suddenly woke up, and when he reacted, there were more than a dozen students wearing school uniforms around him.
Changyang Hu looked around, and when he saw the expressions on the faces of more than a dozen people, his heart suddenly jumped. He already had a bad premonition, especially when he saw Luo Jian's eyes filled with hatred. His face couldn't help but become dignified.
"What are you doing?" Changyang Hu opened his mouth and shouted. Although he was surrounded by more than a dozen people, there wasn't the slightest trace of fear on his face.
Luo Jian sneered and said, "Changyang Hu, do you still remember what happened in the forest a few days ago?" Luo Jian's face suddenly became gloomy, and he stared sharply at Changyang Hu, and said sternly, "You actually dared to snatch the Magic Core that I spent three days to obtain with great difficulty, and caused me to fail the task. I must properly settle this account with you."
Changyang Hu coldly snorted, and looked at Luo Jian fearlessly, and said coldly, "Luo Jian, you only have yourself to blame. You can't blame us. If you didn't snatch the Magic Core in our hands first, then the following things wouldn't have happened. You asked for all of this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your lack of strength. You were actually defeated by my fourth brother who hasn't become a Saint yet." At the end of his words, Changyang Hu looked at Luo Jian with a trace of disdain and ridicule in his eyes.
"You …" Luo Jian was suddenly speechless by Changyang Hu's last words. For him, the defeat in the forest that night was definitely a shame that could not be washed away in his life. With his strength as an intermediate Saint, he was actually defeated by a freshman who was not even a Saint, and the Magic Core that he spent three days to obtain was snatched away. This result was absolutely unacceptable to him as the young master of the Luo family.
