369 NIGHT WITH QIANRU

At the night before Senja and Xiao Tianyao started their Journey toward the ruin of The Mountain Sui Sword Sect to meet Xiao Jun and gathered the necessary information that they could use against The Emperor Xiao Zi, Senja was sitting on the stone chair in the small garden, in front of her room.

Xiao Tianyao has been busy this past two days regarding the Shadow Guard matter, if everything went well, two hundred thousand Shadow Guards would be leaving the Greenhill Mountain the day after tomorrow, Yang Yu would lead them toward the Western territory, Q City, where the war would be started.

Senja was very nervous about this war, she had never been in war situation before, it wasn't like Xiao Tianyao would put her in the front line of the battle along with him, but to think Xiao Tianyao would be there wasn't a pleasant image as well.

She knew Xiao Tianyao had gone countless battle and war, yet, that fact didn't help at all. She let a deep sighed while kneading her throbbing head.

"Are you okay?" Qianru came with a tray full of cookies and tea. "Since Tianyao will scold me if I give you alcohol, then let's be satisfied with tea." She gave Senja playful wink.

"Well, the last time I got drunk wasn't a pleasant memory too." Senja grinned and poured the tea for both of them.

"You didn't answer my question." Qianru popped a cookie inside her mouth. Her relax behavior loosen up Senja's tensed nerves.

"I am fine." Senja said, not convinced with her answer.

"But?" Qianru prodded.

The moonlight fell upon the two of them and gave a tranquility feeling, probably it was the moon or the feeling between the two of them that connected. However to think about this again, Qianru has the same problem with her.

Xiao Jun would definitely be there to lead the army and took his rightful place as the sovereign of the Kingdom of Azura. He would be the most targeted person during this war.

Senja gave a long sighed again, as though that way she could reduce her uncomfortable feeling. "I am not sure with all of this…" She said meekly. "What I meant is, have we prepared enough for this battle?" She felt there were a lot of loopholes in this plan, or maybe it was only her feeling since she didn't know the whole plan.

"Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao had been preparing this plan for fifteen years. If they don't ready for this now, then they would never be ready." Qianru pointed out how long they had been planning this plan out.

Senja nodded even though there was still something weighing her heart. But, Qianru words were right.

"How is your relationship with Xiao Tianyao? He is so worry about you when you were so depressed about your lost."

"We are fine, I am fine, he was only exaggerated things."

Qianru shook her head and grabbed Senja's hand. "He love you, I can see that."

"I know, I can feel it." Senja smiled back at her, "Actually, I wanted to ask him something, but I don't know if our relationship is firm enough for me to ask about this."

Qianru cocked her head questioningly. "What is it?"

"This…" Senja trailed her words while twiddling with her fingers. "I want to ask him about Luna."

"Luna?" Qianru repeated. "What do you want to know about her?"

Senja shrugged her shoulder. She wasn't sure what she wanted to ask Xiao Tianyao about Luna. However, she had an impulse to have a conversation about her.

"I don't know what I wanted to asked him." Senja replied truthfully. "I am not complaining about his past marriage, I just feel something off about Luna…"

Qianru raised her brows and that made Senja felt awkward.

"If you think I am jealous. No. No, I don't feel that way." Senja hurriedly explained. "I just feel there was missing story between Xiao Tianyao and Luna… or it's just my feeling…" She mumbled her last sentences.

"Don't worry it wasn't only you who felt that way." Qianru stroked the back of Senja's hand, reassuringly. "Xiao Jun also felt that way."

Senja looked at her. Of course Xiao Jun would feel the same like Senja, as he was the one who told her that Luna was the mind controller. But, Senja was thinking Luna had done something toward Xiao Tianyao that even Xiao Jun didn't know.

"Xiao Jun was very adamant for Xiao Tianyao to leave Luna at that time." Qianru continued. "Their relationship was worsening when Xiao Tianyao chose to be with Luna instead of carry on their arrangement. That was why, this plan had been delayed for long time, because the Emperor managed to revoke Xiao Tianyao's military power at that time."

Upon hearing this Senja had a strange feeling that the Emperor had his shared in this matter as well. Xiao Jun must know something about this, obviously Senja needed to have another conversation with Xiao Jun and fortunately within two weeks from now, she would meet him.
