He closed his eyes and took a sharp breath, "As expected of the Crown Prince of the Great Cheng Dynasty."
His years of research on him were mostly incorrect; he had completely misjudged his hidden strength!

As fellow crown princes, do you know where you lost to this prince?" Chu Heng looked down at him condescendingly. Even without a trace of mockery in his eyes, Rong Ning felt utterly humiliated.
