Similarly, in their fight for the title of Prince, Ji Qinghui and Ji Qingkang viewed each other, as well as Ji Chengping, as their primary rivals.
However, both Ji Qingkang and Ji Qinghui knew the other was a formidable opponent. So, after exchanging a meaningful glance, they decided to team up and sabotage Ji Chengping first.
After Zhong Ming's victory, Ji Qinghui said with a look of feigned regret, "Eldest Brother, it seems your guess was off. Zhong Ming was the one who won in the end."
Following him, Ji Qingkang added insult to injury. "It's a good thing Second Sister didn't listen to you. Otherwise, she would've suffered a huge loss."
Trading barbs, Ji Qinghui and Ji Qingkang ganged up on Ji Chengping, hitting him with one snide comment after another, saying he had no foresight and was a poor judge of character.
Their words were like needles, striking precisely at Ji Chengping's greatest weakness: his pride. He was filled with rage and embarrassment.
