"Jiang the Military Advisor, let's head down the mountain."
Having won first place, the Third Prince felt a sudden sense of loss after his initial joy.
Winning should have been a good thing, but now it meant his life was hanging by a thread. This stark reversal left him utterly dejected.
He was, after all, an unfavored prince.
The miserable reality put him in a terrible mood.
Their group then headed straight down the mountain.
When they reached the base, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had both given up completely, having no desire to compete for second or third place.
When they saw the Third Prince coming down with his men, they both wore expressions of pity.
It seemed they also knew that the Third Prince had defied the royal edict.
"Third Brother, congratulations."
"You finally managed to take first place. Truly a joyous occasion."
Wen Shixuan immediately broke into a malicious smile.
