460 YUN!

"That is impossible…" Senja mumbled.

They had everything planned for God knew how long and they said everything would be alright, they had all the resources that they needed. Even the last letter from them said that they have everything under controlled, but why news like this, that they heard now?

Meanwhile, Qianru had dropped to the ground with glistening eyes while hugging Xiao Mugi who was still confused to catch up with their conversation.

Senja walked over to her side and put her hands on her shoulder, giving her a gentle squeezed. She was also unsure what she should do at the time like this, she had no clue.

Her heart was throbbing in pain while her mind was messing with her, its endlessly sending morbid images for her to see. Her imagination running wild toward wrong direction that made her felt even worse.

"Where are you going?" Senja asked with shaking voice. Her blood rushed on her head, trying to figure out what she should do now.

"We left the Q city and now we are on the way to my cousin house at the southern village, it's save and we can start everything from there." Yu Long added with generosity. "Why don't you come with us while thinking about what you will do next?"

As though emphasizing her husband words, Yu Long's wife nodding her head and smile sheepishly. "We don't have luxury to offer, but it will be comfortable enough for the three of you."

Senja glanced over at Qianru who was quivering in her tears, she just lost her child and now she got the news about her husband being in predicament situation…

Senja was trembling when she sensed her feeling.

However, southern village was in the opposite direction of L city, but if she insisted to go there now, Qianru would be determined to come as well and they couldn't leave Xiao Mugi by his own.

Qianru didn't know martial arts and with a child tag along, it wasn't a good combination to enter a battlefield. Senja wasn't sure, no… she was sure that she couldn't protect them against the whole army of the enemies by her own.

But, if it was only her, she could move easier and used her ability to breakthrough if it was necessary.

"Yes, please. Can we come with you?" Senja decided to settle Qianru and Xiao Mugi down first before she headed to L city.

"Sure." Yu Long smiled brightly and his wife help Qianru to stand up. "My carriage is over there." He pointed to the direction on his left side.

It was the same carriage that he used when he helped Senja two months ago.

"I don't have much…" Senja approached Yu Long to hand him a small pocket of money when Qianru and Xiao Mugi has been led to the direction of the carriage by Yu Long's wife. "I hope this enough."

Looking at the things that Senja gave to him, Yu Long frowned and gave it back to her, saying. "You had given me enough the last time we met." He said, trying to make Senja kept the money with her. "Moreover, my father was a soldier when Emperor Xiao Zhong still ruled the Kingdom of Azura. He was the loyal one if I could add. He will be proud of me if he knows I help the Princes' family." Yu Long winked at her playfully.

It was true when he said Senja had given him a lot of money when the first time they met. After all, the girl bought all of his goods.

"If you said so…" Senja put back the money in her pocket. She would definitely need this.

.....

It was a little bit crowded when the three of them got inside the carriage, but still left enough space for them to relax.

Meanwhile, Senja was sitting on the coachmen seat with Yu Long. Both of them barely talking as Senja was too occupied with her own thought.

Her purple hair wrapped tightly inside her turban, so she wouldn't draw unnecessary attention, but it piqued Yu Long interest.

"Why are you always wearing a turban?" He asked while controlling the three horses that were pulled their carriage.

"Because I like it." Senja replied curtly, not too convincing. "How was the situation in Q city when you went away from there?" She gave Yu Long her full attention.

"It was chaos." Yu Long was reminisced the event two weeks ago when he flew away with his wife from the Q city. "The emperor's army burned down everything. They killed people and seized their property."

Senja frowned. "Why the Emperor did that to his own people?"

Yu Long gave her a face that was saying; just now you know?

"Unbelievable." Senja mumbled.

Those citizen of Q city didn't panic during Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao's invasion, because they made sure there was no oppression for the people. Moreover, Azura's people heart was on Xiao's brother side. Many of them wanted to overthrow Xiao Zi's regime.

"I wonder, where you have been all this time to not aware about the way the Emperor Xiao Zi rules the country." Yu Long glanced at her.

"Well…" Senja traced back her memory, to be honest she didn't travel often to see all the cities and how those people lived, so she was clueless with this.

Suddenly, when Senja was deep in thought, their carriage came to stop abruptly.

"What happened?" Senja screeched because she almost fell from her seat, if it wasn't for Yu Long who held her back, she would successfully land on the ground face first.

"Who are you!?" Yu Long shouted at the man in front of him, his expression was on alert.

The moment Senja lifted her head to look over in front of her, her heart almost came to stop.

In front of their carriage was standing that the same man who was looking for her in the inn, she immediately knew from his white hair.

Even though he has the same hair like Modama, but their figure was very different and Senja couldn't recall when or where she had ever met with this man.

How he knew her name? Was her next question.

"What happened?" Yu Long's wife opened the curtain and popped her head. "Who is him…?" She asked with fear was laced in her soft voice.

"Go inside." Yu Long said sternly while reaching his sword next to him. Senja did the same, since she always brought the red dagger with her, she was ready to use it.

But then, she heard Qianru screeched and rushed out from the carriage.

"Qianru, no! Come back here!" Senja directly jumped from the coachmen seat and ran after Qianru with Yu Long right behind her.

With dread in her eyes, Senja watched Qianru stopped right in front of the white hair man. But, her next words caught her out off guard.

"It's fine Senja, he is Jun's master." She said, turning around and giving a bright smile at Senja's direction.

Senja came to halt and approached them cautiously when she felt there was no malicious intention from him. "Xiao Jun's master?" She muttered in confusion.

"Master Ye Xiu, it had been a long time." Qianru greeted him with respect.

**Ye Xiu? Yun?**
