It was only a breath away before Xiao Tianyao sliced Gong Xu in half when Xiao Jun decided to draw his sword and save him.

The other Senja shrilled from the ground where she couldn't find her strength to stand up. While Senja continued to run toward Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun.

Xiao Jun ward off Xiao Tianyao's attack and pushed him back. He stood in front of Gong Xu with his sword ready in his hand.

"Jun?" Xiao Tianyao's grew wider in confusion, questioning his brother action. "What this?"

Senja could see his broad shoulder turned stiffed as his knuckle became white from the result of clutching his sword very tight.

**It won't end good…** Senja grimace to herself as she slowly touched his hand.

"Tianyao…" She called him softly. "Calm down…"

Xiao Tianyao snapped at Senja beside him as he gave her a menacing glare. The way Senja was talking to him was like the girl had taken Xiao Jun's side.

"Calm down?" He snarled at her that made her jerked slightly. "I will calm after I decapitate his head."

Senja involuntary gulped down her fear upon hearing the way Xiao Tianyao conveyed his word. His voice when he said it was so horrifying. Senja could feel cold run down her spine.

Xiao Tianyao flung Senja's hand harshly from his shoulder. All he saw was red.

He walked toward Xiao Jun threateningly. His brother still stood in front of Gong Xu, from his stance, he was ready to fight him and Xiao Tianyao really pissed with this.

His brother protected someone he really knew who he loathed the most.

"Step back, Jun!" Xiao Tianyao gnashed his teeth.

"You need to listen to me, brother." Xiao Jun said calmly, but his eyes flickered with wary.

"You are not my brother Jun! Not, when you standing between me and the murderer!"

Xiao Tianyao darted toward Xiao Jun. He didn't care even if he had to fight his brother to get through him.

Xiao Jun ward off his attack and countered his brother with the same blow. Yet, Xiao Tianyao dodged it in time.

He tried to push Xiao Jun back in attempt to strike Gong Xu, but Xiao Jun drew his sword at him and forced his brother to retreat.

As the battle happened, the other Senja managed to get up and overcame her fear as she approached Gong Xu.

"Get out from here!" Xiao Jun yelled at Gong Xu and Senja. This was one reason why he didn't want to approach Gong Xu when the first time he met him. He didn't wish Xiao Tianyao to find out about this either.

Upon hearing his brother intentionally wanted to let them go. Xiao Tianyao hollered and ferociously attacked Xiao Jun fiercer than before.

Xiao Tianyao at the moment seemed very deadly, by the sight of him was enough to make Senja petrified, she would never imagine to be the receiving end of his rage. She had never seen him in this state before. She was glad, she couldn't feel his emotion or else, looking at the intensity of his anger it would hurt her as well.

Senja was worry about Xiao Tianyao, but she was more worry at Xiao Jun.

She didn't know who was better with sword between the two brothers, still whoever it was they would end up hurting each other.

She watched when Gong Xu and Senja walked away from the battlefield the moment Xiao Jun told them to go.

But, a dagger flew across the space and pierced directly through Gong Xu and Senja's body had moved to block the dagger off from Gong Xu direction even before her mind could register what she had done.

Xiao Tianyao kicked away Xiao Jun, so he retreated a few step away from him and then he looked at Senja with disbelief.

"Senja…" He only called out her name without knowing what he wanted to say to her.

She just blocked the dagger that he had thrown away toward Gong Xu's direction. It wasn't only that, luckily she managed to ward it off otherwise, if something went wrong, Senja would be the one who would be the receiving end of that bloody dagger.

However, Xiao Tianyao couldn't understand why Senja was doing the thing that she had done.

**Was she trying to protect him? But, she doesn't have any relationship with him. Damn! She even doesn't know him! But, why she did that!? She could get hurt!!!** Xiao Tianyao was angry with the thought that he almost hurt her.

However, he didn't believe that Senja was siding with his enemy. Something must be wrong.

"Did you just protect him?" Xiao Tianyao asked her icily. His voice was rough, devoid from any emotion as he tried his best to not let the anger that bubbling up inside him break through. He didn't want to lash out at her.

"Tianyao, I …" Senja stammered under Xiao Tianyao frightening stared.
