Before the words were even out, Prince Qinglin shook his head.
He didn't believe Zhong Ming could possibly hold that much influence.
Following him, Elder Huo let out a faint sigh and added, "It's no use. Zhong Ming is being taken seriously now, but that's largely thanks to Xiyue and Luo Zhiwei."
"The two of them combining their strength could barely push Prince Qinghe to the position of Vice Military Commander. They were already giving it their all."
"To push for another person... unless Zhong Ming can take first place in today's Path of Purgatory..."
"Take first place?" Upon hearing this, Prince Qinglin shook his head and gave a helpless laugh, his tone full of resignation. "That's a complete fantasy. I'd have better odds hoping he suddenly wins my niece Wanshang's affection—at least that has some shred of possibility."
...
Having arrived early in Immortal Martial City, Prince Qinglin kept a close watch on Zhong Ming from the shadows.
