“Mr. Xie, you have been spending the whole day in the yard, so you must have no idea that Destiny Monk has gone back to the temple,” Gu Chaoyan said with interest, then she sipped the tea and sneaked a look at Xie Yan’s expression.

Xie Yan was very astonished when he heard the news.

He knew Destiny Monk well. He even met him once.

When the Crown Prince was still Lord Ling, he went to the temple and made prayers. Destiny Monk interpreted the prayer and told him that the Phoenix Girl’s reincarnation was at Gu Mansion, and that the Phoenix Girl was the one that could summon all birds.

Then Destiny Monk disappeared.

What happened then proved what he had said.

The Phoenix Girl turned out to be at Gu Mansion, and on the day when she became an adult, hundreds of birds were circling over Lord Ling’s mansion.

However, what the Phoenix Girl could bring to the Saint Divine Land was still unknown.

The Crown Prince as well as the King had spent at least half a year trying to find Destiny Monk, and Xie Yan had thought that Destiny Monk would only appear when chaos happened in the land, but he turned up so fast.

When he made an appearance… the Saint Divine Land would meet endless chaos.

That was either because of the order of heaven, or because of Destiny Monk.

Xie Yan snorted.

He would have believed that Destiny Monk was like a god in the past… but when he stopped working for the Crown Prince and walked out of the world of power, he looked at Destiny Monk from a different angle and did not think that Destiny Monk was a god-like being.

Seeing Xie Yan snorting… Gu Chaoyan asked him with interest. “Any opinions, Mr. Xie?”

“Not really, but I have some feelings. This Destiny Monk…” Xie Yan was about to say something when he suddenly realized that something was wrong. He paused instantly as he looked at Gu Chaoyan, sizing her up.

Gu Chaoyan was indeed a very evil girl, just as he had expected.

She almost made him leak what he was thinking! However, he was cautious enough not to reveal his own ideas.

He was a strategist and what was the most valuable were his ideas.

If he was bought with just some good tea, then it would show that his ideas were not valuable. Gu Chaoyan could hear his opinions, yet she should tell him if she wanted to hire him as a strategist. If she nodded in agreement, then he would reveal everything he was thinking. If she shook her head, then there was no reason that he would continue.

So anyway, Gu Chaoyan should ask him first.

Xie Yan said confidently, “I am a strategist, and I work on it. I can’t just reveal my ideas casually. Unless I am saying this to my employee, I will definitely not share my opinions.”

Xie Yan said this without showing fear.

Well…

He had his own reasons to say this.
