246 CAN I GO WITH YOU? edited

The two of them were ready for duel!

Senja stepped forward wanting to initiate a truce when Qi Xunyi appeared and grabbed Sheng's shoulder.

"Enough." He said in deep voice.

"He…"Sheng tried to retort, but Qi Xunyi's stare was enough to make him withdraw his sword.

"Yang Yu, right?" Qi Xunyi directed his eyes toward Yang Yu as a soft smile made its way to his lips. "Apologies for my people's rudeness."

Yang Yu neither budged nor withdrew his sword. "I don't know who you are. In fact, we didn't need your help earlier. We could've handled them just fine." He said grumpily, as if their help when the enemy's reinforcement had arrived had annoyed him.

Senja was amazed by Yang Yu's arrogance. He was just like this when they'd first met; arrogant, overbearing and instilling in others an urge to beat him up. Although his attitude towards Senja had turned for the better off late, she wasn't sure why he was treating her better now.

"You can say thank you." Qi Xunyi didn't bother with Yang Yu's hostility.

"No thanks." Yang Yu replied making Senja want to smash his head.

No matter their motives, the fact that they had come to help shouldn't be disregarded like this, right? Besides, they hadn't done anything to harm them.

"As the leader of the Crescent Moon Member, you sure are arrogant." Qi Xunyi sighed in dissatisfaction.

"You have a problem with that?" Suddenly Xiao Tianyao's icy voice made its way into the tense atmosphere.

And now Player Xiao Tianyao has entered the arena. Senja bemused at the sudden turn of events.

Qi Xunyi smiled and signaled Sheng and Xun to bring all the children away. "No, of course not."

While walking one of the children asked the little girl who had touched Senja's hair.

"How did it feel?" He hadn't had the chance to touch Senja's hair earlier.

"It's so soft." The little girl revealed with a childlike smile.

And thus, the children chatted away about Senja's hair until their voices couldn't be heard.

Xiao Tianyao covered Senja's purple hair swiftly with a clean cloak.

"Be ready. We will leave now." He commanded Yang Yu who retreated to inform the others.

"Why the rush brother? I am yet to meet Young Miss Senja." Xiao Jun who'd followed behind Xiao Tianyao finally spoke.

Senja had never seen him before, but the resemblance was hard to miss. She knew that Xiao Tianyao had a big brother. Add to it the way the other had leisurely called him 'brother', Senja was certain that he was Xiao Jun, Xiao Tianyao's big brother, the former Crown Prince of Azura Kingdom, the very one Xiao Wang Wei had replaced.

"I will be in the lodgment in the next village. We will discuss about this there." Xiao Tianyao said curtly.

"Then why not give me those children?" Qi Xunyi replied.

However, Xiao Tianyao looked at his brother instead and answered. "Give me the explanation there."

Senja peeked out from under the cloak that was wrapped around her head when she heard Lee whisper to her timidly. "Big sister, can I go with you?" He grabbed Senja's dress.

Senja wanted to bring him along with her. She's still disturbed as she had yet to figure out why she had a vision about him and Hu Feng but had failed to draw the connection between them.

What kind of clue would she get from these two? Could it be that by finding them she was closer to finding Yun? All these questions made Senja want to pull her hair. Sooooooooo frustrating!

But Xiao Tianyao grabbed Lee's collar and lifted the little boy which forced him to release Senja's dress and tossed his small body over to Qi Xunyi.
