Zhong Chan: "Then, do you know that the Lin Yuan Emblem is in his hands?"

Gu Yun paused for a moment, wanting to say 'I didn't know', but feeling a little guilty, he had to tell the truth: "He did not mention it to me, but I did have some guesses... If it weren't for Lin Yuan Pavilion, Du God of Wealth and the others would not have supported him as such."

Zhong Chan replied with an 'Ah', then continued, "Yan Wang did not possess the arrogance of youth in his teenage years, he was calm and had self-restraint, he could be a bit stubborn, but he was not the type who only knew self-pitying. He understood right from wrong, that benevolence and righteousness came first - he was much better than you when you were a child."

Gu Yun: "..."

Zhong Chan glanced at him, squinted his eyes, and showed a little smile that was difficult to catch, fading away as soon as it appeared: "But the way I see it, young people that are not a little frivolous, sometimes it is not a good thing. He matured too soon contrary to human nature, it must have been due to too much suffering in his childhood - the matter of the barbarian witches, I also heard about it from the Chen family's girl. What are you planning to do?"

Gu Yun did not reply quickly but pondered for a moment.

Zhong Chan said, "The Bone of Impurity entangling Chang Geng is not his will. Sometimes I think that I am too cautious, doubting him as such, it is not fair to him. If he was just an ordinary person from an ordinary family, no matter what happened, I should not say anything at all. But he is not, what his body is connected with is the country - Zi Xi, right now the court has one Yan Wang, pulling one hair will affect the whole body. One cannot leave his side, but he cannot be relied on entirely either, do you understand?"

Gu Yun probably understood General Zhong's insinuation that he should not let Yan Wang have too much power. When necessary, he should try to suppress him with the force of the military, and retreat when needed.

But Gu Yun did not continue this sentence. He only said, "I will take care of him. You can rest assured, Teacher."

Zhong Chan frowned. "I know the boy grew up with you when he was young, there is a deep sense of affection, but how long can you look after him? The heir of the Chen family in this generation is that girl, she is only at this age, in ten or eight years, you cannot expect to count on her. Would Yan Wang's mind be able to endure that long?"
