A servant approached Xie Yan, delivering a report about what he had witnessed.
Upon hearing the news, Xie Yan couldn't help but feel a tinge of disappointment. Junyi was considerably younger than him. When Xie Yan had already matured into a man, Junyi was still a mere child. They had both been disciples of the same master, and Xie Yan had watched Junyi grow. Although he harbored no fondness for Junyi, they were, after all, classmates. Xie Yan believed that their master wouldn't have wanted Junyi to meet such a fate.
That was why he had extended an opportunity to Junyi.
Now, at this crucial juncture, Xie Yan realized his previous mistake. Nevertheless, he was still willing to ensure Junyi's well-being, allowing him to live as an ordinary strategist.
However…
Junyi had not returned to the previous Crown Prince's Mansion but had chosen to depart with Gu Ruxue. It appeared that he had no intentions of experiencing regret.
