Once they stepped out of the courtyard, Ye Jiu gave Si Bei a thumbs-up. "Guard brother, your acting skills aren't bad!"
Si Bei turned his head with a haughty disdain.
What acting skills? He was simply playing himself.
As a guard of the War Prince Residence, arrogance was an essential quality for everyone.
Ye Jiu quietly raised his pinkie finger behind him; this person really gets offended over the slightest thing!
Si Bei led Ye Jiu through a series of turns and entered another courtyard which, though significantly smaller than Xun's, still had more than a dozen people visibly present.
Ye Jiu suspected that there were even more people hidden from view.
Ye Jiu was brought before Sikong Mo, who gave a direct order, "Stay in the empty room next door for now. Don't leave the house in the coming days, and don't go snooping around."
"Understood," Ye Jiu replied, feeling rather aggrieved.
After Ye Jiu left, Sikong Mo asked Si Bei, "What have you found out?"
