In an instant, his face turned ashen, and he cried out for mercy, "Your Highness, spare my life! This has nothing to do with me! I am utterly loyal to Your Highness! Please spare my life..."

"Your Highness, it was clearly you..."

He begged for mercy loudly, and tried to explain that he was acting on Long Jingtian's orders.

But Long Jingtian didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

He raised his hand and used his spiritual power to seal Fan Chengren's acupoints, preventing Fan Chengren from uttering another word. Then he ordered him to be taken away.

Those present were astonished by what they saw.

Gu Jian was also surprised, feeling that this so-called Third Prince was really ruthless.

He could kill any of his lackeys without hesitation.

However, Fan Chengren had only himself to blame.

As expected, those who are wicked never have a good ending.

After the person was taken away, Long Jingtian remained calm and composed.

Even though he killed a person, to him it was as if he had just stepped on an ant.

A smile appeared on his face as he said, "I'm sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment."

"I have dealt with the troublemaker. Now let's continue."

Gu Jian glanced at it and laughed, "Continue? Will the Third Prince concede this question?"

The Third Prince, Long Jingtian, was furious upon hearing this.

He also felt that his poem was inferior.

The chances of winning this round are slim.

However, he wouldn't lose face.

The Third Prince, Long Jingtian, said coldly, "Whether it's a win or a loss, it will be judged by Queen Shiyu and the two critics."

"Whatever the outcome of this round, I will accept it."
