Ji Yan: "..."

No.

Stupidity is the original sin.

Or should we just kill him?

Arrange for a stand-in to go over there.

...

The servant thought his brilliant mind wasn't very good, otherwise he wouldn't have struggled for decades to become the head of a small sect.

But now, whether it's because he's been frightened into being smarter by the tyrant's power or because his mind has suddenly opened up, his brain, which had been stagnant for decades, has suddenly become active, allowing him to see beyond the surface and understand the essence of things, thus grasping a truth!

Perhaps Wang Fu's message to Xi'an, sending Shen Jiao alone to the Gu residence, was just a ruse to lure them into a trap.

Who knows, along the way, the tyrant might be hiding in some obscure corner, holding a plate of watermelon, watching with a half-smile as he watches them bully his little queen.

Thinking of this, the servant felt envious of his companion who choked to death with a single breath.

Would you rather choke to death than face the wrath of a tyrant?

Unfortunately, he was in good health, but suffered a heart attack, though not fatal.

However, there is one strange thing.

The servant got caught up in his own reasoning.

Since the tyrant knew in advance that Shen Jiao was in danger, why did he not only fail to warn her but also fail to send people to strengthen her protection?

Could it be that all the so-called pampering was fake?

No, no, that tyrant is a madman who wouldn't stoop to playing along, the servant immediately dismissed this unrealistic idea.

Then another absurd and chilling guess came to mind.

Is the tyrant's action perhaps a way to test Shen Jiao?

That must be it!

A weak and helpless canary cannot stay perched on a big tree forever. What will happen to the canary if the tree goes to visit another tree one day?

The best solution is to turn the canary into a fierce bird that can stand alone and command thousands of troops!

The servant's breath hitched.

what to do?

He was unusually clever for once, but he discovered such an incredible truth.
