The Seventh Prince lowered his gaze, his expression calm: "Our Great Qin Dynasty promotes virtue and capability. Since Mr. Shen said Chu Ming's talent surpasses yours, I shall give him a chance. Well, how about this..."
The Seventh Prince assumed a thoughtful pose and pondered: "Recognize nine characters, and I will personally supervise Chu Ming's situation."
