Her silence made Si Mo think she was worried about the matter, and he continued, "This is the fundantal solution. There’s also another thod, which is to place so Forbidden Techniques on it to prevent prying from those stronger than ."
Mu Qingge looked up at him.
Si Mo explained with a smile, "Just like putting a Barrier on your earring to prevent those weaker than from seeing the essence. Do you understand?"
Mu Qingge nodded lightly.
Si Mo’s words almost made her think that her unorthodox Artifact Refining Technique was not unique.
Fortunately, according to Si Mo, he was just placing a Barrier on the Illusionary Artifact, unlike her thod of using different Forbidden Techniques to enhance the auxiliary functions of a weapon.
People weaker than him wouldn’t be able to see through her disguise?
The mysterious gentleman’s power seems to be very strong!
After pondering for a while, Mu Qingge straightforwardly took off her earring and tossed it to Si Mo. The aning was clear enough.
Si Mo didn’t say much either; after all, it was his suggestion, and he could only resign himself to carrying it out.
After all, he really didn’t want other n to witness her beauty besides himself.
With impure thoughts, Si Mo placed a Barrier with his mark on the earring.
"All done." Si Mo quickly finished and returned the earring.
However, this ti, he didn’t hand it back to Mu Qingge but insistently put it on her himself.
Mu Qingge touched the earring on her left ear and gave him an odd look, saying, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going first."
Si Mo nodded but added, "If you need my help, feel free to ask."
"No need." Mu Qingge refused without a second thought.
She knew what Si Mo ant. However, to get the Mu Mansion out of its predicant, she had to rely on herself. She might, at certain tis, use Si Mo’s na to manipulate the situation.
But she wouldn’t let Si Mo intervene and solve everything.
Mu Qingge’s stubbornness made Si Mo smile slightly. Without persuading further, he respected her decision, "If you don’t need , then I’ll be leaving."
"You’re leaving?" Mu Qingge asked with so surprise.
Wasn’t this guy just here?
Si Mo nodded, "There are so matters to handle on the continent. Qin Country will just be your starting point. I’ll be waiting for you."
His inexplicable words made Mu Qingge frown.
But Si Mo didn’t continue and instead changed the subject, "Gu Ya will stay by your side. Since you’re already aware of his presence, you can find a reason to have him openly appear by your side to work for you."
"I’d rather not. He’s already shown his face in the Qin Country Palace." Mu Qingge didn’t have this intention at all.
If she brought Gu Ya out, wouldn’t it indicate to everyone that she had a connection with this man?
If that connection was established, she’d only feel restricted.
"If you don’t want to, then let him remain in the shadows as your trump card for survival." Si Mo didn’t press further.
"You really have a lot of confidence in his abilities." Mu Qingge raised an eyebrow. Although she acknowledged Gu Ya’s prowess, she disliked this man’s superior deanor.
Unexpectedly, Si Mo nodded, "I’m well aware of Gu Ya’s strength; in Linchuan, there are few who can rival him." That calm and indifferent manner seed to give one the illusion that this was only a conservative appraisal of Gu Ya’s strength.
Mu Qingge’s mouth twitched slightly, and she swished her sleeve and left.
Although this was deep within Qinling, she knew that in front of this man, the fierce Qinling beca an innocuous back garden.
"I’ll take you back." Behind her ca Si Mo’s voice.
Imdiately, Mu Qingge felt her body lighten, and she was swept up into the air, disappearing into Qinling.
After Mu Qingge left, Si Mo did not leave for a long ti.
When Gu Ye returned, he still stood among the maple trees, like an extrely noble statue.
"Holy Master." Gu Ye approached Si Mo from behind and reverently spoke.
Si Mo showed no reaction at first, and then slowly said, "Gu Ye, why am I unhappy with Little Ge’er leaving? I wish to keep her by my side, for only my eyes to see. Yet, I have to go against my own wishes because she dislikes it, and let her go."
Gu Ye was taken aback, tugged at the corner of his mouth, and muttered, "I don’t understand."
"You don’t understand either?" Si Mo murmured softly. His long lashes covered the thoughts in his eyes. Suddenly, he laughed, like ice and snow lting, "You don’t understand, and I don’t understand either. In that case, I’ll figure it out until I do!"
