Three days passed after the end of the Ancient Ascension Trial. Pu Zhang had been extremely depressed during these days. The horse he bet on had lost. Not only did the horse lose the race, but it also died as a result.
He was now without a patron. Once Prince Huang San ascended to the throne, no one would protect him. Huang San had no goodwill toward him, as he had never shown any support. To make matters worse, Huang San's favorite follower was his nemesis. He did not doubt Amon would give him trouble once Huang San was king.
He had been lamenting his situation by spending his time in multiple taverns and brothels these past few days, to the point of neglecting his court duties. The way he saw it, his career was now stuck. He had no chance to prosper under Huang San's rule.
