Meeting with Xie Yan

Xie Yan knew clearly why Junyi was here. He knew Junyi well, not because they were close friends, but because Junyi did not know how to conceal his personality and ambition.

All these years, what he had been doing was to prove himself in front of their master, trying to convince himself that his master was wrong about him, and that he could overturn his words.

In order to reach the goals, he had spared no efforts.

With the demise of the previous Crown Prince, his practical authority would have dwindled even if he had managed to survive. The Jin King, on the other hand, held an undeniable advantage in the current situation. For Junyi, the Crown Prince's death brought a sense of relief, as he could now turn his attention towards expressing his ambitions to the King.

In most cases, an ordinary king would have eagerly accepted someone as skilled and capable as Junyi. It was unfortunate that the Jin King harbored a dislike for individuals of Junyi's nature.
