Chapter 369: 369 walks sideways in Dongyue Chapter 369: 369 walks sideways in Dongyue Ye Jiu was joyful before he noticed that Sikong Mo was still holding a sheet of paper in his hand, one he had used, covered in smudged brush strokes – some thick, some thin, utterly unsightly.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Ye Jiu pointed and made a gesture, “Master Sikong, what is this…?”

“This paper is of good quality; out of curiosity, I picked it up for a look,” Sikong Mo explained.

He must never neglect the fact that the person before him already knew of the existence of his secret space, “This paper actually does not belong to this world; if Master Sikong likes it, I can arrange to get some more for you.”

Ye Jiu spoke nervously, this feeling of being at someone else’s mercy was indeed unpleasant.

However, Sikong Mo disliked the sense of being guarded against, “You are afraid of me, why?”

He had already lowered his status to be friendly towards her, yet he could still feel her cautiousness around him.

This kind of treatment was typical when others faced him, but oddly enough, he disliked it when Ye Jiu did the same.

“Master Sikong jests, with you being so kind to me, how could I possibly be afraid of you?” Ye Jiu chuckled, followed by flattering words, “This is merely out of respect for Master Sikong!”

“Oh?” Sikong Mo’s discomfort evidently lessened a bit.

“Of course, Master Sikong is the only one who did not mock me when I was ugly and helped me when I was in trouble,” Ye Jiu said sincerely, then immediately played the victim, “I am just a bit scared, Master Sikong also knows about the special thing with me. I… I fear that if others find out, they will confine me.”

“Who dares?” Seeing Ye Jiu’s pitiful state, although he knew well that much of it was feigned, Sikong Mo still felt very uncomfortable.

“Will Master Sikong protect me in the future?” Seizing the moment, Ye Jiu actively sought protection.

“Naturally.” Sikong Mo suddenly saw through Ye Jiu’s intentions, yet felt relieved that at least this girl was somewhat sensible, “In Dongyue, no one dares to touch those under my protection, at least not overtly.”

Even though the current Emperor has long harbored misgivings towards his Royal Residence, he would only dare to make small moves behind the scenes.

“Then I truly thank you, Master Sikong.” Ye Jiu was instantly overjoyed.

With these words from him, did it mean that from now on, he could do as he pleased in Dongyue?

And most importantly, since he said he would protect her, it implied that he genuinely did not intend to snatch her treasures, thus her safety had an added layer of security.

Ye Jiu suddenly thought that since Sikong Mo was so sincere, perhaps she should make a gesture in return?

After all, the person in a weaker position now was her.

But although she had many stored items, very few were worth presenting.

Thus, giving a gift would have to be postponed for now.

The two remained silent across from each other, Ye Jiu suddenly schemed, “Master Sikong, you mentioned you could teach me martial arts, I wonder when you might have time?”

Ye Jiu could not be blamed for her urgency, as the road ahead was estimated to be tight, and with the daily travel, naturally, there was no time for martial arts practice.

And upon arriving at the capital city, she did not know what the situation would be, so seizing the opportunity to learn from a great mentor like him was essential.
