At the sight of Changyang Hu, Luo Jian’s eyes immediately burned in hatred, as if he could spit out flames. Perhaps Changyang Hu was too absorbed in his practice, but he didn’t sense Cheng Mingxiang’s people’s arrival.
Cheng Mingxiang’s group of people walked up to Changyang Hu, and in unison, they stood in a circle surrounding him. Realizing this, Changyang Hu finally awoke from his concentration. By the time he had reacted, he had already been surrounded by dozens of students
Changyang Hu’s gaze surveyed his surroundings. After he saw the expressions on the other party’s faces, his heart skipped a beat as he had a bad premonition. Especially after he saw Luo Jian’s hatred-filled glare towards him, Changyang Hu’s expression could not help but grow heavy.
“What do you guys want?” Changyang Hu said. Despite the dozen or so people surrounding him, his face still did not show a single trace of fear.
Luo Jian sneered, “Changyang Hu, do you not remember what happened in the forest a few days ago?” His face grew dark as he spoke and glared at him. “Your group dared to steal my three days worth of hard work and caused me to fail. For this slight, I will definitely pay you back an eye for an eye.”
Changyang Hu snorted, and his gaze at Luo Jian showed no trace of fear as he coldly said, “Luo Jian, that was trouble that you had brought onto yourself; there’s no way we are to blame for what happened. If you hadn’t first tried to steal our monster cores, then the following events wouldn’t have occurred. Everything was your own fault; if you want to blame something, you can only blame your lack of strength. You even got defeated by my fourth brother, who hadn’t even reached Sainthood yet.” Changyang Hu mocked, as he looked at Luo Jian in disdain.
“You…” Luo Jian was momentarily so indignant at Changyang Hu’s response that he couldn’t respond. The event that had occurred that night in the forest was a humiliation that he would never be able to wipe from his memory. Despite his strength as a middle-ranked Saint level, he had lost to a freshman that hadn’t yet become a Saint. In addition, the monster cores that he had spent 3 days of painstaking efforts to collect had all been taken away. This result was definitely something that the Young Master of the Luo clan couldn’t accept.
If word of his humiliation reached the clan, then Luo Jian would not be able to hold his head up high in the future.
