233 HOLD ON

Down there, the transaction occurred between the two parties. Those men who were wearing the dark green clothes standing on guard while the one who seemed to be their leader was talking with the other man in red clothes.

When the transaction almost done and their surrounding had turned dark, those men in dark green clothes took over the 5 big freight carriages which made of metal.

Xiao Tianyao aim wasn't the dark green clothes people, but the other party. He could recognize the man in red clothes who had previously spoken. He was the Crown Prince Xiao Wang Wei trusted aid, eunuch Kuo.

Xiao Tianyao reluctant to engage in meaningless battle, he didn't want to startle them by made them aware of their existence. At least not now, because by following their movement he would get more information than ambush them at once.

They were also not benefited in terms of members. Added that there was the black dot Feng Chang with him, Xiao Tianyao wouldn't know when he decided to take down his pretense.

To ambush them now wouldn't benefit Xiao Tianyao in any way. It only beat the grass and startled the snake.

Senja who was sensing her surrounding suddenly felt something with malicious intent from behind them. "Someone is coming from behind." Senja warned Xiao Tianyao without think twice.

Xiao Tianyao frowned, but before he could ask her the sound from clashing sword was heard from the last line of their entourage.

All the members of Crescent Moon were put in alert as the fight broke. There were around 5 people in dark green clothes launched a surprise attack on them.

This was one of disadvantage for them to come unprepared. With lack of knowledge of their surrounding, they have no control over the battlefield.

"Hold onto me." Xiao Tianyao eyes darken, the gripped in Senja's waist tighten. She obediently wrapped her hand around his waist as she cowered to his chest while the fighting sound erupted around them.

It wasn't only the image of them killing each other that scared Senja, but also the feeling that hovered in the air. The intense pain and dying, the killing intent and anger polluted her feeling. It almost likes riding a jet coaster without a seatbelt for Senja.

Senja tried to focus her feeling onto the man who was embracing her. Same like when they went to the brothel, she took a shelter on him to reduce the intensity of emotion that enveloped her.

Xiao Tianyao held Senja in his left hand and held his sword with another as he moved swiftly to fight against 6 of them at once. Senja didn't see it, because every time she poke her head from Xiao Tianyao embraced, the man would push her head back against his broad chest as indicating her to not reveal herself.

Xiao Tianyao didn't want the other party learned about Senja, she wasn't an ordinary girl after all. She was the famous long lost granddaughter from Black Sword Clan and had a value for bargaining.

But, the true reason for Xiao Tianyao was because he didn't want Senja to be scared by the bloody scene around her. It would be better if she didn't see anything.

After Senja tried for the third times and Xiao Tianyao kept doing the same thing, in the end she stopped her attempt. Senja afraid that her action would impact to Xiao Tianyao performance, if he was defeated, she was also would face bad end.

However, Senja could feel that Xiao Tianyao moved with easy, it almost like he just guide her to waltz among the clashing sword. He lifted her like she didn't have any weigh.

Regardless of the feeling that everything would be fine with Xiao Tianyao held her close to him. Senja couldn't ignore the screaming and anguish pain around her, even concentrated her feeling on Xiao Tianyao didn't help much.
