270 HER GRANDFATHER CAME edited

"Wait, all of them including my father illtreated me?"

"Especially him!" He stared at Senja's dark brown eyes, there was seriousness in his eyes. "Stay away from him as much as possible."

"Why?" Senja could sense the unease in his eyes.

He stroked Senja's head as he said calmly. "Just stay away from him.

Senja wanted to ask more when the abruptly door flung open. Both of them were startled as they turned in concert towards the noise.

Elder Dam stormed inside the room with heavy breaths and a face crimson in fury. He screeched when he appear at the corner of the partition screen.

"Tianyao! My granddaughter is gone!!!"

His loud voice boomed inside the room even before the missing person managed to appear before his sight.

Senja and Xiao Tianyao were too late to do anything as Elder Dam stood in front of them, shock in his eyes the moment he saw that Senja was actually inside Xiao Tianyao's room.

"Senja what are you doing here!?" Elder Dam thunderous voice reached the roof.

Senja swallowed hard. She had never thought that her grandfather would check on her in the middle of the night. He had never done that before. That was why she'd slipped out of her room waiting to have a chat with Xiao Tianyao in his.

Actually, Elder Dam didn't want to disturb Senja's sleep either. Since he needed to walk past Senja's room to reach his, he'd wanted to check on her before retiring for the night.

Who knew that he wouldn't find his granddaughter inside, even worse, the guards outside her room were oblivious to her disappearance!

After he'd punished the guards, he stormed into Xiao Tianyao's room to inform him and ask him to bring the shadow guards to look around. However, the thing he saw in his room was even more shocking.

**Senja is actually here!**

"Senja! Come over!" Elder Dam summoned Senja pointing to a spot on the ground in front of him to indicate that his granddaughter must stand there immediately.

Senja abruptly stood up and approached her grandfather her head drooping.

"I will talk with you." Elder Dam warned Xiao Tianyao who hadn't changed his expression even as Elder Dam fumed.

With the corner of her eye, Senja saw him nod slightly with an unperturbed face.

**He must have gotten used to grandfather's anger to be able to maintain such composure.**

Then, Elder Dam grabbed Senja's hand and strode outside the room.

In that moment, she didn't have time to think about Xiao Tianyao anymore because she herself was in great danger now.

Woman slipping inside a grown man's room was something inappropriate, even in her era it was quite bold. But, now, Senja wondered…..**if even in her era she wouldn't do something like this, why then did she do it here….in a world where there were strict protocols for men and women to adhere to?**

She could only sigh by way of answer, as she couldn't find a reason behind her own behaviour.

After the duo had left, Xiao Tianyao called Yang Yu over.

Yang Yu was very nervous when he walked inside the room and immediately slumped to the ground.

"Master, Elder Dam…" He said trembling.

He thought Xiao Tianyao would punish him because he let Elder Dam barge into the room.

He wasn't able to prevent him from entering the room, besides Elder Dam's expression before was very scary, he looked as though he would kill Yang Yu on the spot if he dared to block him.

"Stand up." Xiao Tianyao didn't heed to Yang Yu's attempt for explanation.

Obediently Yang Yu stood up and thanked his Master.

"I want you to find someone…"

"Yes, Master. Whom would Master like to find?"
