293 BAD INFLUENCE edited

"So, who will you kick this time?" Utara chuckled when he reminisced Senja's fierce kick in her bid to save Hu Feng, and now she wanted to learn the proper way to beat someone up. ** How interesting it would be?!**

"My dearest stepsister and my mother's sister." Senja answered directly and blithely.

"You mean your stepmother and Rindy?" Utara ruminated a bit, "She is quite good in martial arts."

"Well, I will be learning from the expert so what would I have to worry about?" Senja brown-nosed him and grinned. "Besides, I am a fast learner. Don't you remember how I created the chaos inside the fortress? You will make the impossible things happen if you try hard enough." A smug Senja declared like it was a fete that she should be proud of.

The corner of Utara's lips twitched; **You shouldn't be proud about that… Lucky you Xiao Tianyao didn't go berserk that day…**

Xiao Tianyao stroked Senja's hair and said, "I will be away for a few days and Utara will come here every night to teach you."

"Where will you go?"

"It's something to do with a secret meeting between Bian and Goozu in M city."

Utara wanted to facepalm himself. **You shouldn't tell her about that, right? It's confidential! I don't know how far their relationship has come along, but it's definitely something that I have to ask Yang Yu about when he returns. ** Utara made a mental note because it was certain Xiao Tianyao wouldn't quell his curiosity.

Up until now Utara was still oblivious to the things that had happened in Marple forest and the trade between Crown Prince Xiao Wang Wei and L Clan, because Xiao Tianyao hadn't apprised him, and Yang Yu was away. He didn't get any updates on the progress of Xiao Tianyao and Senja's relationship either.

He was very busy when they were at Roccaleaf Tea House and didn't get much opportunity to talk to Senja. However, looking at Xiao Tianyao going out of the way for this girl, his childhood friend seemed to hold no reservations against Senja anymore.

Utara knew Xiao Tianyao quite well, he was almost like an older brother to him. So, to question his decision regarding a woman was off limits. A wise Uttara had learnt this precious lesson when Xiao Tianyao was with Luna.

"You will leave now?" Senja asked.

"Yes, I will leave you with Utara." He stroked her cheeks, "Stay close to your grandfather."

Senja nodded, "I will."

"When you come here, make sure no one is aware about this."

"You know what I am capable of!" Senja chuckled heartily. The two knew all too well that this wasn't even a challenge for Senja.

"I know. Alright, I will leave now." Xiao Tianyao turned to look Utara with his usual indifferent attitude, "I will leave her with you."

Utara suddenly felt reluctant to agree with Xiao Tianyao. **Well, he put it so mildly, but should something happen to her while he is away, I will be done for good! **

"Don't worry." Utara assured him halfheartedly.

Xiao Tianyao acknowledged with a nod and kissed the back of Senja's hands before he walked away.

**You don't have to be lovey-dovey in front of me, alright. ** Utara grumbled miserably as he averted his eyes.

Senja gazed at Xiao Tianyao's departing figure. She knew that Bian was the head of Mystic Clan while Goozu the L Clan. The matter about the meeting between the two clan Leaders was bound to be dangerous. She hoped nothing untoward would happen.

"Alright," Utara interrupted the mellow atmosphere, "So, there is another woman trying to charm your man?" Utara pulled back Senja from her reverie.

The girl with purple hair turned her gaze at Utara and grinned.

"What to do, my man is so handsome!" Senja said vainly.

With Senja's declaration, Utara got the big picture: the girl before him was not someone to be gainsaid anymore.

"So, are you ready to kick some a**?"

Senja laughed, "I didn't know you were the type to say something like that."

"I learnt it from you!"

"I think I am a bad influence…"

Under the light from the torch around them, her eyes twinkled with glee.

As Utara looked into Senja's eyes, he realized that she had changed from the girl who Xiao Tianyao held qualms about for 4 years into an effervescent person.

**Perhaps her amnesia was responsible for her personality change. **
