Pei Jinye became the youngest patron of the Sima family, a fact that was not widely known as only a few were aware of it.

Pei Jinye was settled in this small courtyard, not far from where Sima Yingjun lived, as per Sima Yingjun's express instructions.

It was convenient for Sima Yingjun to come over and check on him when he had nothing else to do.

"Senior, feel free to request any book you wish to see."

"A bit of everything will do."

Sima Yingjun considerately brought over a sizable selection of martial arts books.

"Take your time with these, Senior. There are plenty more good books in my sister's study; I'll bring them over for you soon."

Not long after, the housekeeper came by to say that there was some business matter requiring Sima Yingjun's attention, so Sima Yingjun stood up to take his leave.

Pei Jinye casually picked up a book from the stack in front of him and began to read intently, a line per glance.

As evening fell.
