318 I AM GLAD YOU ARE NOT HER...

Senja stood up and walked closer toward him, she looked at the man right in the eyes when she continued her explanation. "I didn't have intention to lying to everyone, especially at you. From the beginning, it wasn't me who claim Senja's identity." Senja emphasized her last sentence, trying to give him her point in this matter.

Xiao Tianyao stared back at Senja's unwavering eyes. She didn't give him a long explanation or tried to justify herself, she only voice out the main point and that was true. It was him who claimed her as Senja.

"Say something." Senja spoke, she couldn't gauge his emotion and his expression didn't give away what was inside his mind. "Ask me anything."

"Do you think it is possible there are two same persons in one time?" Xiao Tianyao asked sarcastically.

Senja crossed her arms. "Except my face, do you think I have another similarity with Senja? Did I look like someone that could be bullied so easily like what they did to Senja? Did Senja know how to speak Ki Language, like I do? Did she know how to unlock the padlock? If so, why they were able to lock her inside her own room?" Senja said in matter of fact. "If I were her I wouldn't tell you about all of this especially, when Senja has something going on with someone who had killed your deceased wife."

"So, why are you telling me now?" Xiao Tianyao's expression darkened, but his voice wavered. That's all made sense yet in the same time it's not logical.

"Because Elder Dam's granddaughter is still alive and by any chance she is with Gong Xu now." Senja had nothing to lose now with Xiao Tianyao had known the truth. He must have predicted it the moment he read the letters. "And I guess Wang Yu knew something about Senja's whereabouts."

"How you know that?"

"Wang Yu implicitly said it." Senja ended up telling him her viewpoint why she could come up with that conclusion. "If my assumption is right, Senja will be in Xinghe by now, but…" Senja stroke her lips, contemplated. "The Kingdom of Xinghe was no more, right?"

Xiao Tianyao looked at Senja's expression, there was no pretention there, as though all the things that he was telling him was the truth. He knew when this girl showed off her cunning little act, but now she was totally serious with what she said.

"You know about Gong Xu because of the letter and Wang Yu's words?"

Senja nodded, beside her own vision, she indeed knew it because of Wang Yu had mentioned him. So, she didn't lie anyway. "If you still have doubt, ask me anything… I will not lie to you." There was sincerity in her voice.

Xiao Tianyao heaved a deep breath and reach out his arms, wrapped the girl with purple hair in front of him with relief. "So, you are not Elder Dam granddaughter?"

Senja surprised by Xiao Tianyao reaction, she thought it was over between them when he knew the truth, she was ready for that. She loved him, but if that's mean he could use her as he wanted, she didn't want that kind of relationship.

"Hmm… I am not." Hesitantly Senja returned his hug.

"I am glad you are not." Xiao Tianyao whispered between the juncture of her shoulder, appreciating her existence and her honesty. It didn't matter if she was the real Senja or not, as long as she didn't involved with his past and didn't have anything to do with Gong Xu, her identity was the least of his concern.

"I thought it was over between us." Senja mumbled. Giving to the fact that they relationship only lasted in a matter of months, with the current situation and the revelation that Senja told him, it was simply a mess.

Xiao Tianyao didn't say anything, he just kissed the tip of Senja's head, yet Senja could feel there was nothing would change between them.

"Tianyao, Wang Yu talked about someone named Modama. Who is him?" Still hugging him, Senja asked away what the things that bother her. Based on the way Wang Yu acted upon hearing his name, it seemed he was someone that couldn't be ignored.

"He is the leader of Misty Cloud Clan." He said with rigid tone. Senja raised her head because she could feel his body turned stiff.

"The way Wang Yu said it, I think the real Senja is with them."

"I know, I have my own suspicion about her involvement with Misty Cloud Clan."

"You followed her all this time because you thought she had connection with Gong Xu, the man that killed your late wife?" Senja inquired.

Xiao Tianyao nodded. "She did, right?"

**Oh, right. Senja did have relationship with this Gong Xu guy.** Senja reminded herself.

"So, you are looking Ye Xiu because of Riana?" Xiao Tianyao's expression softened.

"Yes, she asked me to find him."

Xiao Tianyao placed a kiss on Senja's forehead. "It seems our aim is in the same road. I will help you to find him…"
