Shen Boyi's words carried a hint of self-mockery.

Jin Qingzhou took a few quick steps to follow him.

Shen Boyi turned his head slightly, his smile carrying a hint of clarity.
"Did I say no? Mr. Jin, are you always this domineering with your students? If you ask me, your talent is wasted studying art—you should have trained as a lawyer, just like my fourth brother."
"...Why?"
"Your kind is exceptional at sentencing the accused to death without giving them a chance to speak."
