Chapter 364: 364 gentle actions Chapter 364: 364 gentle actions “Well, then thank you, Young Master Sikong.” Ye Jiu initially wanted to refuse, but after much thought, she decided to join Sikong Mo on his journey.

The reason was not only for safety but mainly because of Dongzi’s incident, Ye Jiu had long been dissatisfied with Lu Biaotou.

Lu Biaotou might be a good person, but unfortunately, he was not the kind of person she valued.

His deep sense of loyalty and emotions, to her, was actually a burden.

What Ye Jiu needed was someone who could wholeheartedly work for her, not someone who would harm her interests in favor of his brothers.

“By the way, I have another favor to ask of Young Master Sikong,” Ye Jiu said, looking at Sikong Mo for help.

Sikong Mo raised his eyebrows, signaling her to continue.

She then took out a well-bound book from her embrace and handed it over, “This, please help me check if there’s anything wrong with it?”

In terms of martial arts, the only people Ye Jiu knew were Sikong Mo and his group.

Since he had told her not to be shy, Ye Jiu took it to heart.

After all, now that he had helped her, if he ever had any problems in the future, she would also assist him. Mutually beneficial, this was advantageous for him, and safer for the secrets she carried.

Sikong Mo took the book and realized it was a volume on martial arts sword techniques.

Sikong Mo was very pleased. With Ye Jiu’s status, this could only have come from that place.

If she was willing to show it to him, did it signify that she believed they were at a stage where she could share secrets with him?

After opening it and looking carefully, Sikong Mo gave his opinion, “This set of sword techniques is indeed exquisite and well-suited for a lady to use, but given your young age and recent introduction to martial arts, you should primarily practice Inner Strength and focus on some fundamental skills first…”

Ye Jiu listened in confusion. As a complete novice in martial arts, even though Sikong Mo had explained in much detail, there were still some technical terms she couldn’t understand.

Sikong Mo was speaking so much for the first time, truly making an effort, but when he turned and saw Ye Jiu’s serious yet utterly confused expression, he realized she hadn’t understood a thing.

Seeing her expression, he knew for sure she didn’t comprehend.

Sikong Mo felt helpless, “Never mind, in the coming journey, I will do my best to teach you, but learning martial arts is not easy. How much you grasp will depend on your own ability.”

“Really?” Ye Jiu had long been fascinated by martial arts, always very keen on it, yet completely unacquainted with it.

Now, hearing that the martial arts master Sikong Mo was willing to teach her personally, she immediately forgot her previously unpleasant feelings when he had uncovered her secret.

“In that case, thank you, Young Master Sikong,” Ye Jiu smiled so broadly that she could hardly close her mouth, forcibly turning herself into a blooming flower, showing how delighted she truly was!

Sikong Mo realized that this girl was actually quite easy to please; teaching her martial arts alone made her this happy.

However, thinking that her happiness stemmed not from him but from learning martial arts made Sikong Mo’s heart twist a little.

Trying to control his temper, Sikong Mo reached out and gently stroked Ye Jiu’s soft head, “Learning martial arts is quite a tough task. Are you sure you can persevere?”

Ye Jiu felt somewhat uncomfortable with Sikong Mo’s gentle gesture, instinctively feeling that this mode of interaction was somewhat unsuitable for them.
