Chapter 434: 434 on the Importance of Sikong Mo

“Master…” At that moment, the butler walked in with a ladder and suddenly saw Ye Jiu floating in the sky, which made him cry out in fear.

Then, Ye Jiu instantly opened her eyes, but didn’t expect that her body had already left the ground. Frightened, she let out a sharp scream, and her body began to fall.

As Ye Jiu fell, two giant eagles in the nearby courtyard suddenly spread their wings and flew rapidly towards the source of her scream.

The butler immediately dropped the ladder and, using his qinggong, hurried over, but he was still a step too late. Ye Hei had already swooped in beneath Ye Jiu, letting her land safely on its back and smoothly reach the ground.

Ye Jiu collected herself from the shock and then climbed down from Ye Hei’s back, standing safely on the ground, though her legs were still a bit wobbly.

“Master, are you alright?” the butler asked with concern.

“I’m fine.” Previously, when she was aloft, Sikong Mo had always been with her, feeling like her pillar of strength; as long as she clung to him, she felt safe from any danger. But now, for the first time floating alone without him, Ye Jiu suddenly felt like she could lose balance at any moment.

So, she was quite scared inside.

But in front of the butler, she didn’t want to show her vulnerability.

Moreover, everything that happened today had already been shocking enough for the butler.

His master, whom he thought was just an ordinary person, could actually use qinggong!

Though not proficiently.

And the master had two loyal giant eagles by her side.

Everything seemed to emanate an air of mystery.

And Ye Jiu, who had levitated off the ground, even though she now knew that her martial power had significantly increased due to the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, didn’t dare to recklessly use her qinggong again after the scare.

So, it was safer to climb the ladder honestly.

Pretending as if nothing had happened, she dismissed the butler, leaving only the two giant eagles by her side, and then Ye Jiu adjusted the ladder and began to climb.

Finally, when Ye Jiu perched on top of the wall, a patrol of guards from the War Prince Residence happened to pass by, and they caught Ye Jiu on the spot.

Looking at the guards pointing their swords at her, Ye Jiu had a gloomy face.

It was all Sikong Mo’s fault; the only two times he had taken her there had been in the dead of night when it was desolate and no one saw her. It was actually quite normal for them to draw their swords against her.

When Ye Jiu saw Si Nan, it was already afternoon, in the dungeons of the War Prince Residence.

By then, Ye Jiu had almost become friends with the rats in the cell.

However, seeing those who were dragged out and then brought back dripping with blood, Ye Jiu no longer felt unjust.

As long as they didn’t torture her, she was willing to negotiate. Otherwise, even with Divine Medicine, she couldn’t bear the pain brought on by various torture devices.

Seeing Guard Si Nan in black, Ye Jiu had never missed Sikong Mo so much, and even her facial expression became a bit aggrieved, “Guard Si Nan, you are truly a person of high importance, meeting you is so difficult.”

Ye Jiu’s veil had been confiscated by the guards at the time of her capture, so facing Ye Jiu, who almost seemed to have changed her face, Si Nan felt a sense of familiarity, but for a moment, he dared not recognize her and called out tentatively, “Miss Ye?”

Ye Jiu rolled her eyes, “The guards of your household are really too dedicated. I simply thought that since we’ll be neighbors, I might as well say hello. But instead, I ended up getting caught and spending half a day here.”
