285 TEACH ME! edited

When Senja mentioned Sana again just now, she realized that all her troubles were 'thanks' to him. Both women were infatuated with him.

**Geez! I have to have my own share of admirers so he can have a taste of his own medicine. ** Senja was vexed.

Xiao Tianyao chuckled. "I think you are quite nimble to learn it."

"Right!" Senja snapped her fingers, "Teach me!"

"Teach you what?"

"Swordsmanship of course! What else?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"It requires hard training."

"Just the basic?"

Xiao Tianyao propped his head on his fist resting his arm on the table while looking Senja idly, "Even if you train now, it is not possible for you to surpass her. She has been playing with the sword since she was very young." He stated in a matter of fact tone. "Your grandfather and I are here; they won't go overbroad."

"No! She has threatened me yesterday and I am not happy about that." Senja explained her reasoning as she persuaded him to agree.

"I will take care of her."

"No!" Senja raised her voice in objection, "I will be the one who will take care of her!"

Xiao Tianyao looked very pleased with Senja's determination. He liked people who stood their ground and knew what they wanted.

"Alright!" In the end he relented.

Senja's face beamed with delight, "You will teach me?"

However, Xiao Tianyao shook his head. "There is a matter that I need to handle in the town. Thus, I won't be available all the time."

"So, who will? Yang Yu?"

Senja understood what Xiao Tianyao meant by 'a matter', it must be something regarding L Clan. Therefore, she didn't insist.

"Yang Yu isn't here; he is running some errands for me." As he informed her, she got to know why she hadn't seen Yang Yu since the day they had departed from Roccaleaf Tea House.

"I will see you tonight and you can start practicing then."

"You mean, you will sneak into my room?" Senja asked coyly.

Xiao Tianyao laughed softly when he saw Senja's provocative look.

...

After they were done with their breakfast Xiao Tianyao went away without revealing to her his whereabouts. However, it didn't matter to Senja. She knew exactly what he was up to.

For now, she needed to kill time until nightfall when Xiao Tianyao would bring her to whoever it was who was going to teach her some martial arts tricks. She was very excited about this.

Therefore, this afternoon she went to her grandfather to ask for his permission to go about the town. Her grandfather was exceptionally reasonable this time, not like his usual self and let her go, but of course, not alone.

Hence Senja merrily pranced in the direction of the Black Sword Clan's training ground and called Yoda over. Actually, she didn't have to look for Yoda personally, but she insisted on coming.

Last night, the four servants who Carye had prepared for her, had showed her the way to the Black Sword Clan's training ground. Hence it wasn't difficult for her to find the place.

The moment Senja came, she saw Yoda waiting for her with her horse. Apparently, her grandfather had told Yoda beforehand about her visit and her intention to go around the town.

"Hey boy!" Senja greeted him.

"I am not a boy. How many times have I told you?" Yoda still didn't understand why Senja insisted on calling him 'boy' even though it was as clear as daylight that he was older than her.

Senja shrugged her shoulder and happily stroked her horse's mane lovingly, "You are from around here, right?"

Senja remembered from one of their conversations in the past that Yoda came from M City and his mother and sister were maidservants in the household of the city's head.

"Yes. I know this town like the back of my hand."

"Good. Show me nice places then." Senja was very happy to ride her horse, "Boy, have you met your family?"

"No, we just arrived yesterday. I have planned to see them the day after tomorrow."

"Good. Let's meet them now!"

Yoda grinned, "Alright!"
