Chapter 1011: Fear

Junyi was a strategist, so when he first arrived at the mansion, Zhou Huailing directly got him to live in the remote yard of the mansion. However, Junyi had been playing a very important role in hunting Xie Yan and many other things by putting forward good proposals, so Zhou Huailing gradually started to pay attention to him.

So withini three days’ time, he was transferred to the west wing of the mansion.

Gu Ruxue was living in the west wing side, as was Zhou Huailing.

In the past, Zhou Huailing went directly to Gu Ruxue when he came home, but it seemed that Gu Ruxue could not give any good advice about anything, apart from being the Phoenix Girl.

So Zhou Huailing stopped speaking with Gu Ruxue about anything.

However, Zhou Huailing was very happy about speaking with Junyi, because he always had some ideas about everything.

Junyi was drinking tea as he sat in the yard.

He had just filled up the other cup when he saw Zhou Huailing coming in. He said politely. “I knew that you were coming, Heir. Here you are, just after I poured you tea.”

Having said this, he greeted Zhou Huailing politely.

Zhou Huailing, who had already been in a good mood, became even more cheerful hearing that Junyi already predicted his arrival. He waved away Junyi’s greetings and said, “Just take a seat, Junyi, don’t be so polite.”

…

“…”

“Do you have any knowledge of fortune-telling? You predicted that my father would a.s.sign Prime Minister Chu to a.s.sist me and help me there.”

Junyi was startled. He did not have any knowledge of fortune-telling. None of the strategists worked on such a thing.

The reason why he could predict all of these happening was because he had made a.n.a.lyses.

However, what the Heir said to him made him feel a bit cautious. It was always a good competence that one knew how to make plans, but the Heir would show fear against him, if Mr. Heir found him too good at making plans. What Mr. Heir had said to him a moment ago already revealed the potential fear Mr. Heir would hold towards him, and it would take just a little more before he understood this point.

He was talented, but he could not reveal it totally, which was what his master taught him.

Junyi smiled and continued with Zhou Huailing. “I have some knowledge about fortune-telling, but I’m not very good at it. I just take it as some fun I have when I am bored.”

Hearing these words, Zhou Huailing didn’t say anything more.

All strategists were good at some things. It was not too strange if Junyi knew something about fortune-telling, which was all about luck.

He waved his hands. “Let’s drop this topic.”

“…”

“I am here because Prime Minister Chu really thinks too highly of himself. When we left the court today, I, according to your instruction, bowed to him, but he did not seem to want to take in any words. He kept saying that he worked for me because the King asked him to.”

“…”

“I just don’t understand why you wanted me to bow to him!”

“…”

“I have bowed to him once, and since he ignored it I will never bow to him again,” Zhou Huailing said furiously.

“No! Heir, that is exactly why you need to bow to him more!”

“Why?”
