Ms. Doctor Divine



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.

Xie Yan keenly observed Junyi's crumbling state, as if he were on the verge of collapse. Junyi's subconscious interrogation echoed in the air, "Why you?"

Why did he run into them when he was hunted? Why did he become friends with the King just after a few teas. Why did he get so lucky so he came to where he was today?

Whilst on the other hand, Junyi believed that he had done so much and during the past few months, and he had not even taken a day off from his work. But he failed in the end.

It was unfair.

Totally unfair!

He failed to become the strategist for the King, not because he was not talented. It was because he was unlucky!

It must have been the best explanation!

But why?

Why must he be treated like this?

"Why me?" Xie Yan countered.

Xie Yan looked at Junyi with a mixture of sympathy and firmness. He understood that Junyi was feeling defeated and overwhelmed by the turn of events. Despite their differences, they were still connected through their shared lineage under the same master.

"I can tell you why!"

"…"

"I am not as talented as you. But I am an ethical strategist. I have always been remembering what our master told me when I first went into his school. He said that we are strategists, but we have our own rules. We need to have talents, but more importantly, we need to stick to our rules and loyalty. We need to have our principles."

" "…"

"Just look at what you have been doing and how you treated the previous Crown Prince. Do you still remember your own rules and principles? Do you think, under such a circumstance, the King still wants to hire you?"

" "…"

"I am not working for the King, so he admires me. I never betray anyone." Xie Yan said in a serious tone.

Junyi's smiled stiffened.

Then he walked past Xie Yan.

He rushed out of the court. When he had no idea where to go, a very familiar voice stopped him. "Officer Junyi?"

"It is you!" Junyi stared up.
