382 XIAO TIANYAO

Xiao Wang Wei looked at the retreating figure of Xiao Tianyao and Senja as a devilish grin bloomed on his lips. He remained unmoved from his original place as those under spell teenagers chased after them.

His imperial cousin was too hypocritical to not kill their attackers who were attacking them right and left, his upright attitude would be his downfall.

Xiao Wang Wei saw it, when one of the teenagers managed to scratch Xiao Tianyao's hand.

Just a little bit scratch and that was all that he needed to register the poison that had been smeared on those scythes.

The wolf bane poison. The same poison that he had been using in many occasion, he had a lot of stock of it from Rockstone Kingdom.

If Senja was smart enough, she would be aware with that as she had experienced it in first hand.

Senja… The purple hair girl.

He never saw a girl so feisty like her, no women had ever challenged him and talked harshly like the way she talked to him. Xiao Wang Wei was curious.

He knew where the real granddaughter of Elder Dam. So, the first thought that he had when he heard the news about Senja's appearance was; there is impostor who is involved in the business that they shouldn't.

His Imperial Father had warned him to stay away from this matter and completed his task at the Mountain Sui Sword Sect, especially when the trade between L Clan and him went downhill as they lost many resources.

For his surprised it was the impostor who managed to decode their secret letter. He had wanted to see her with his own eyes, but the task at the Mountain Sui Sword Sect made him too occupied until he heard the news about Elder Dam had been killed by Wang Yu at the border line.

Actually they had planed Elder Dam's assassination along with the impostor who pretended to be Senja, however she managed to get away from it and the thing that surprised them the most was the revelation about the possibility of Senja was a mind controller.

How could that happen? The only mind controller left after Luna, Xiao Tianyao's late wife, was Modama.

In the end, his curiosity got the best of him and then without his imperial father approval, he went his way to see Senja with his own eyes.

Of course he didn't mean to kill Xiao Tianyao nor Senja, but if he could get rid of him it would be a great result and prodigious news for their side.

From the way his cousin protected the girl, Xiao Wang Wei felt there was something happening between Xiao Tianyao and Senja, another thing that he learnt from their encountered earlier.

"It's getting more interesting." He chuckled.

.....

The sunrays fell on Senja's tired figure.

She was hugging herself in the corner of poor and rickety room. There was nothing inside except Xiao Tianyao's unconscious body. It has been two days since he fell into comatose state and she hasn't slept ever since.

The moment she figured out that Xiao Tianyao had been poisoned it relived her most frightening memory about the death of Elder Dam.

Fortunately, the place he had poisoned was in his wrist, so the process was slower compared to Elder Dam or her case.

Yet, for the reason that Senja couldn't find any help faster, Xiao Tianyao's condition was getting worse.

Senja crawled at Xiao Tianyao lifeless body as she changed the damp towel on his forehead to keep his temperature low. He has had fever for two days as rash could be seen on his skin.

"He's not dead yet?" A burly man emerged from behind the wooden door.
