267 DON'sT TOUCH HER! edited

Xiao Tianyao's eyebrows scrunched up, the idea of kissing Sana disgusted him.

Seeing that Xiao Tianyao's face had turned ugly, Senja was happy as she continued to talk.

"Maybe you've already kissed her." Senja muttered sullenly. "And Sana…"

Before Senja could finish Xiao Tianyao raised her chin and said softly. "Stop it."

"So, why did you kiss me?"

"Compared to Sana, I like you more." Xiao Tianyao said and kissed her forehead before he swiftly moved her aside and opened the door.

'Stay in and eat your food' were his parting words.

The room fell silent the moment Xiao Tianyao was gone and Senja stood behind the closed door, feeling dissatisfied.

**"If he likes me, he should tell me that he likes me! Why beat around the bush and compare me with that annoying girl!?" **Senja grumbled to herself as she stomped her way into the room.

Xiao Tianyao must've known she's hungry and had prepared food for her.

As she waited for her food, Senja stroked her forehead and smiled cheekily. ** But, does he like me or not? **

Not long after that her table was filled with mouthwatering variety and Senja forgot all about her query just then as she devoured those delicate dishes happily.

Inside Xiao Jun's room.

Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun were discussing the matter about the rebellion in Q City and Leader Mo's treason. Xiao Wang Wei had gone too far to associate himself with L Clan and Misty Cloud Clan in human trafficking.

However, the questions remained. Even though they'd failed to capture eunuch Kuo, both were very sure that yesterday's transaction was definitely not their first time. If it were so, what had they done with those children? The number of children that they had captured until now were to the tune of hundreds. Where had they put them? And for what purpose?

Q City's matter would be handled the moment Xiao Jun went there and the matter about the children could wait. However, the real problem was the one that had arisen just now.

"This matter is getting out of hand." Xiao Jun spoke seriously to Xiao Tianyao who sat across him.

"How come she turned out to be a mind controller?" Xiao Tianyao was puzzled with this revelation. "Elder Dam and General Wang Yu didn't have any relation with mind controlling. It's simply absurd."

Xiao Jun didn't say anything to ease Xiao Tianyao's confusion.

"Tianyao, if you want to save her you should make sure that no one knows about this. It isn't about her anymore. Once the truth comes to light, you wouldn't have a chance to even save yourself. If that happens, then I will …"

Xiao Tianyao stared at his brother. "Don't you dare to touch her!" He cut his words icily.

"Tianyao, I wouldn't do that if I have another choice, but if I have to choose between saving her and you…"

"Jun, for the last time I am warning you. Don't touch her. I will handle this matter." Xiao Tianyao spoke with finality.

Xiao Jun was expectant of this reaction, but he still had to clear his standpoint regarding this matter. Because once word got out that Xiao Tianyao was hiding a mind controller, the death sentence wouldn't limit just to Senja. It was a capital offense after all. People in the palace would accuse him of coup d'etat, and their current power wasn't enough to handle it. They needed more time to strengthen their power first before overthrowing the palace.

"Tianyao, think about it further."

"Jun, you said 'if someone finds out about it'. You can put your worries to rest. No one will know about this." Xiao Tianyao glared at his older brother. **At least no one who knew would live to tell the tale.**

It was a good thing that Senja didn't let him know about Yoda.

"I know." Xiao Jun relented. He had been relenting ever since the matter with Luna.

After the tussle, they fell into silence.

"I will keep an eye on her." Xiao Tianyao said before he stood up and left the room.

Xiao Jun stared at his brother's retreating back. He just hoped, this Senja wasn't another 'Luna'. It would bring another calamity if she was. Not to mention Senja had the same ability as her.
