"No need, we've already troubled Young Master Sikong enough on the way here. Once we reach the capital city, Wenzheng and I will just find an inn to stay in," Ye Jiu declined without hesitation.
With Sikong Mo's high status came undeniable danger. If Ye Jiu stayed by his side, she could already anticipate how thrilling her life would become with the occasional assassination attempts.
Moreover, the capital city was full of nobles and dignitaries, and she was just a humble farm girl. Staying close to Sikong Mo would certainly make her too conspicuous, so it was better to keep her distance.
Ye Jiu uttered these words with trepidation, afraid that Sikong Mo would think her ungrateful, but to her surprise, Sikong Mo only fell silent for a moment before nodding in agreement, "That's fine. The capital city isn't as peaceful as a small town. If anything happens, you can come to the Royal Residence to find me at any time."
"Thank you, Young Master Sikong. I understand," Ye Jiu said.
