Automatically, Xiao Tianyao grabbed Senja's waist and backed off.

Senja didn't realize it first, but a bunch of teenagers made their way toward them. They were dress in dark grey with swords hung on their waist.

"Are those the teenagers that we are looking for?" Senja whispered at Xiao Tianyao.

Senja and Xiao Tianyao were hiding behind one of the pillars with Xiao Jun across them did the same thing.

"Yes, they are." Xiao Tianyao nodded.

"They are under hypnosis. I can feel the same strange emotion from them." Senja said in low voice, but enough for Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun heard it.

Both brothers glance one more time to the bunch of teenager before they disappeared from their sight.

If what they had assumed were right, then would they need to fight those teenagers in the battlefield? No matter how one justified their action, but it still didn't sound right to kill the teenagers who were fighting not in their right mind. It was against their conscience.

This matter would be complicated later on.

Xiao Jun walked out from his hiding place after they had past, continued toward their destination to the master chamber.

From the place they were standing they could see the large building like a huge temple not too far from them.

"Is that the place?" Senja pointed the huge temple that only its dome could be seen behind the dense trees.

Xiao Tianyao nodded. He was more quite than usual.

"What happened?" Senja couldn't sense his emotion, but she didn't need her ability to say that something was messing with his mind right now.

"Nothing." Xiao Tianyao offered a faint smile to assure Senja, but failed miserably.

Senja wanted to ask further about what was bother him, nevertheless she didn't want to be noisy. Moreover this wasn't the right place and time to talk about it. So, she kept quite along the way until they reach the building.

From afar many guards could be seen, most of them was teenager around the age of fourteen to sixteen. The shocking part was, among them there were six years old children, playing with daggers in their hand. The grown man was teaching them how to fight.

Senja, Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun were hiding among the trees, looking at people in front of them with deep frown etched on their face. It seemed they were very confident with their hiding place until they didn't put patrol guards.

Senja swallowed with a small grimace when she watched a child was being whipped for the reason that she didn't know. Fear showed on his small face.

"Those children were in the same age like Xiao Mugi." Senja said grimly.

"We will wait until the sun set." Xiao Jun informed before he turned around and left the scene.

Xiao Tianyao was about to walk when he saw Senja still stood at the same place with eyes zeroed in the kid who was curling on the ground after the harsh whipped.

"There is nothing we could do now." Xiao Tianyao whispered at her.

With wry face, Senja retracted her gaze on the kid and looked at Xiao Tianyao. "Your uncle is a pure evil." She said with clenched teeth.

"Yes, he is." Xiao Tianyao agreed.

........

They were waiting until the sun down and the night came, only then they made a move toward the building.

Apparently, when the night came, most of those teenagers who were guarding the entrance door had gone, leaving only two or three of them.

It was easy enough to distract them, as Senja, Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun sneaked inside the building effortlessly.

Inside the building, they barely saw any guards around.

"Is it normal?" Senja questioned the empty hallway.
