Chapter 166: Is decision 166 too hasty?
“Oh?” Sikong Mo’s interest was piqued, “Then tell me, why is that?”
“It could be… perhaps it’s because Miss Ye isn’t particularly striking in appearance,” Si Bei pondered and chose a more euphemistic way to express his thought, rather than speaking bluntly.
For the first time, Sikong Mo seriously considered Ye Jiu’s appearance.
He had previously thought all women looked the same, but this time, after Si Bei pointed it out, Sikong Mo took notice.
Although the girl in front of him was no longer overweight, she was short and dark with the appearance of an eight or nine-year-old at most, despite being eleven. Her face was sprinkled with little black dots, hardly considered pretty.

Sikong Mo couldn’t help but doubt whether his decision to let Ye Jiu enter the Guard Office had been too hasty!
“She indeed is not particularly outstanding,” Sikong Mo gave a very candid assessment.
Ye Jiu’s already dark complexion darkened a few shades more.
“Don’t you look down on me, I am still young and haven’t grown up yet. Once I do, I will definitely become a stunning beauty that causes the downfall of cities and nations!” Ye Jiu, abandoning any concern for her dignity, started to sing her own praises unabashedly in an attempt to save face.
One after another, they either found her ugly or said she was not outstanding, which made Ye Jiu wonder if she really was so ugly as to offend both humans and gods.
It was truly too much bullying.
The slight petulance in Ye Jiu’s words brought an involuntary smile to Sikong Mo’s face.
“Si Bei, go back with Ye Jiu, and then pay to buy her,” Sikong Mo instructed directly.
“Yes, I will carry out the order,” Si Bei said.
Ye Jiu watched enviously as Sikong Mo activated his qinggong, and in the blink of an eye, vanished from her sight.
“Hey, stop gazing, our Family Head has already left,” Sikong Mo took his leave, and Si Bei’s demeanor became a bit more casual.
In this world, not many people could resist being fascinated by their Family Head’s appearance, and Si Bei thought Ye Jiu was no exception. Little did he know, Ye Jiu’s only desire was for their miraculous qinggong.
As for Sikong Mo, even though his looks indeed made one want to throw themselves at him, Ye Jiu knew her own place and that he was beyond her wildest dreams.
Moreover, this man was far too dangerous, often threatening lives at a whim, and Ye Jiu certainly wouldn’t masochistically fancy him.
Ye Jiu came back late. As soon as she entered the gate, the old lady Xun was already sitting in the courtyard waiting for her.
Ye Jiu approached ingratiatingly, “Old Madam Xun, are you enjoying the sunshine? The sun is quite nice today.”
“Humph!” Old Madam Xun gave a cold snort, “Stop with your flattery, I’m not buying it! You better give me a straight answer, where have you been so late? If there’s the slightest inconsistency, be prepared for a thorough beating!”
Ye Jiu immediately put down her basket of vegetables and ran behind Old Madam Xun to massage her shoulders, “Old Madam Xun, you know me. Alone in a foreign land, I don’t even have a single friend, where could I possibly go?”
Old Madam Xun snorted again, clearly not believing Ye Jiu’s words.
Ye Jiu said aggrievedly, “I was out because I ran into a little trouble, which is why I came back late.”
Old Madam Xun’s eyelids twitched, signaling Ye Jiu to continue, so Ye Jiu went on, “I was planning to come back early today, but on the main street, I saw a young lady who had her purse stolen, and the thief just happened to run by me. I tripped him, and the young lady wanted to thank me, so I asked her to buy me back to be a maid.”
