Upon hearing this, a sharp, cold glint flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes.
Although the Heaven's Chosen Society was only established as a hobby, it can still attract some noble children of the Heaven Dou Empire and expand their network. Even if Yu Tianheng doesn't care about the position of president, how could he let it go to someone else for nothing?
He looked at Song Guan and asked, "Who is this person? How dare he steal my position?!"
Song Guan replied, "This person is Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Although his Soul Power Level is not high, currently only Two-Ring Soul Master, far inferior to his elder brother, he is still a prince after all, and we can't do anything to him. So we came to consult you and want to hear your opinion, Brother Tian."
Upon hearing the name " Xue Beng," Yu Tianheng's gaze sharpened. Xue Beng was the fourth son of Xue Ye of the Heaven Dou Empire. In the eyes of the world, he was mainly seen as a spoiled and incompetent playboy. However, Yu Tianheng, who knew the original story, was aware that this person was hiding his talents and biding his time. If he did not do so, he would be assassinated by Qian Renxue, who was impersonating Xue Qinghe, just like his two older brothers.
In the original novel, Xue Beng not only became the disciple of the male protagonist Tang San, but also succeeded to the throne as the new emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, which can be considered as doing quite well.
However, Xue Beng is just a good-for-nothing prince who dares to covet Yu Tianheng's things, so he'll have to be ruthless.
"Alright, I got the bad news. I'll go meet this fourth prince of the Heaven Dou Empire later."
Song Guan nodded, not at all surprised by Yu Tianheng's decision.
"Besides that, there's another piece of good news," Song Guan continued.
"Tell me about it," Yu Tianheng said.
Song Guan, "I've found the girl named Dugu Yan that you asked me to find before. She entered the Heaven Dou Royal Academy half a month ago, is fifteen years old, has the Martial Soul Jade Phosphorus Snake, and is currently at Soul Power Level 32. If nothing unexpected happens, she is the person you were looking for, Brother Tian."
"Oh!" Yu Tianheng looked at Song Guan with a look of surprise and delight.
Persistence pays off; we've finally found the Dugu Yan. It seems the plan can proceed.
"Where is she now?" Yu Tianheng asked.
Song Guan said, "After Miss Dugu Yan arrived at the academy, the Heaven's Chosen Society immediately extended an olive branch to her, inviting her to join. After some consideration, she agreed to join the Heaven's Chosen Society. Afterwards, I personally taught her the first four levels of the Innate Skill cultivation method, saying that it was the president's decision. She then began to cultivate diligently, and at this moment she is probably hiding somewhere in the academy, seriously studying the Innate Skill cultivation method. At the same time, she is also very interested in you, Brother Tian, the president of the Heaven's Chosen Society, and wants to meet you in person."
"Should I arrange for you to meet immediately?"
Yu Tianheng thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No rush, there will be plenty of opportunities later. Let's go see Xue Beng first and resolve his problem."
"I'll see what makes him think he can take my place!"
"Yes." Song Guan then led Yu Tianheng to the location of the Xue Beng.
A moment later, Yu Tianheng arrived at the Xue Beng's lodging.
As a prince, he held a prestigious position and naturally did not live in the same dormitory as ordinary students, but in a separate small house.
Yu Tianheng intended to push open the door and speak with Xue Beng, but was stopped by Xue Beng's guards. "His Highness the Fourth Prince is taking a nap, and no one is allowed to disturb him during this time. Please leave."
"Taking a nap?" Yu Tianheng chuckled upon hearing this. He knew that this was just an excuse. In reality, he had already sensed faint fluctuations of Soul Power coming from inside the room, knowing that Xue Beng was currently cultivating his Martial Soul and secretly accumulating power.
However, even though he knew it, Yu Tianheng didn't point it out.
He simply instructed the guard, "In that case, I won't disturb you any longer. After Prince Xue Beng wakes up, go and tell him that Yu Tianheng has come to visit to discuss the matter of becoming the president of the Heaven's Chosen Society. If he wants to take over, then he should come to the Heaven's Chosen Society a chat. Farewell."
After saying that, Yu Tianheng turned and left.
After Yu Tianheng had walked away, the guard waited for nearly a quarter of an hour. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quickly entered the small house behind him.
Inside one of the cabins, deep purple curtains completely shrouded the room. The only light source was an ice-shaped lamp suspended in mid-air. Under its cold blue light, Xue Beng shimmered with pale silver Soul Power, and his forehead was covered in beads of sweat.
He is currently meditating to enhance his Soul Power.
Currently, Xue Beng is 16 years old, but his Soul Power Level is not high, only level 23. If this level of Soul Power were placed in the outside world, it would not be considered low. However, as a prince, he has no shortage of cultivation resources and famous teachers, and his own talent is also quite good. If he is only at this level, it is considered unworthy of being cultivated by others.
That would be one thing, but the key issue is that, in the eyes of outsiders, Xue Beng is a spoiled, incompetent, and useless prince who is neither good at literature nor martial arts, likes to put on airs, and has an inflated sense of self-importance.
But in reality, he was faking it all.
The purpose was to paralyze Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, save his own life, and prevent assassination.
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the personal guard cautiously poked his head in. "Your Highness, Yu Tianheng just came to see you, saying he wants to discuss the matter of the president of the Heaven's Chosen Society."
Xue Beng opened his eyes. "How did you reply?"
"As you instructed, I told you that you are taking a nap and are not seeing any outsiders," the guard said, bowing.
After listening for a while, Xue Beng nodded slightly. "Alright, I understand. What did Yu Tianheng say afterward?"
" Yu Tianheng said that if you want to take his place, then come to the Heaven's Chosen Society a chat. He hopes that Your Heaven's Chosen Society to find him after you wake up," the guard said.
"What was his expression when he said that?" Xue Beng asked.
The guard said, "He had no expression, but his tone seemed somewhat unfriendly."
"Hehe." Xue Beng chuckled lightly, "I threatened to take his position as president of the Heaven's Chosen Society, and it would be a miracle if he gave me a friendly look. But to be honest, this Yu Tianheng is quite an outstanding person, with an excellent background and exceptional talent. He's about my age, but he's already Four-Ring Soul Master. I heard that he defeated Lei Long, whose Soul Power was as high as level 40, before he even reached the Four-Ring ring. If it weren't necessary, I really wouldn't want to offend him!"
The guard nodded and said, " Yu Tianheng is a prominent figure at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. His Heaven's Chosen Society Association is the most powerful force within the academy. Your Highness, forgive my bluntness, but you should try to win over such a talented person secretly, or at least keep to your own interests. Why do you insist on offending him?"
"Sigh!" Xue Beng sighed, "You think I don't want to win him over? It's not that I don't want to, but that I can't. Don't forget my image in the eyes of the world: an arrogant, conceited, and useless wastrel prince. How could I possibly do something like trying to win over someone else?"
