955: Extraordinary Man

Extraordinary Man

"Do you regret leaving the Heir and ending up being where you are? You have no power, nor position, and you are being hunted down and on the run for your life. If you had not left, you would share the flourishing future with the Heir, who is going to take the throne. If he makes it, you would have a great future!" Gu Chaoyan said calmly, though the whole story should be more inspiring.1

Xie Yan snorted when he heard what Gu Chaoyan said.

He was no longer the Heir's strategist for one thing, and for another, it was the Heir who broke the promise with him. So Xie Yan had been feeling really annoyed.

Since the topic was mentioned, he snapped without sparing any thoughts. "That won't happen."

"…"

"I am just a strategist, but I have my own ambitions and opinions, and I see further than most of the officers and ministers."

"…"

"I have been learning to become a strategist since I understood the world."

"…"

"I had seen through everything, when I was serving the Heir. I also wanted to help someone to take the throne, which is what a strategist dreams about. So why did I drop out?"

"…"

"Because the Heir won't be able to take the throne."

"…"

"Yes, he is the Heir and his mother is adored by the King and he has married the Phoenix Girl, but I still don't think that he will be the one."

The Phoenix Girl?

She was such a stupid woman who could not even take care of the mansion. She was dumb enough to buy the music to summon the phoenix and slept with other men before marrying Lord Ling… she was capable of nothing, and he could see no good points in her.

And yet she claimed that she was the Phoenix Girl!

Either they were wrong about finding the Phoenix Girl, or the whole thing about Phoenix Girl was just a joke!

Xie Yan snapped.

A Pheonix Girl should be smart and graceful. However, the Heir, who did not make efforts himself and turned to the Phoenix Girl for help through marriage, even divorced his original wife!

Could such a man be the King?

If he did make it to the throne, then he would think that the whole country was a joke.

And even if he was going to be the Heir, he, as the strategist, was not going to help him to achieve it.

He did not think that it was a way for the strategist to be respected.

That was what Xie Yan was thinking, but he was not going to say it.

Well…

The Heir was not a fair man, yet he as the strategist should not bad mouth the Heir behind his back. He was going to stick to his own red lines and principles.

Hearing what Xie Yan said, Gu Chaoyan believed that he was a person with a clear head and special judgment.

He was not an ordinary man.

"Just be assured. Since we promised to keep you safe for two months, we will stick to what we have said. You don't have to be so worried, but try to recover as fast as you can. We will have everything else arranged." Gu Chaoyan stressed that she was going to keep him safe for two more months, she was being truthful rather than putting forward a leverage like before.

Xie Yan let out a sigh of relief.

Good that she did not renege on that. Two months should be enough for him to have his future well-planned.

Xie Yan said, despite the fact that he was receiving leverage. "Thanks."

Gu Chaoyan nodded and walked out of the room.

The moment she was out, Zhou Huaijin asked, " How did it go, what do you think?"
