483 SHE KNEW SOMETHING

"Tianyao." The elder called out for Xiao Tianyao. "I have known you and your brother since you were little. I give my fully respect to the late Emperor Xiao Zong and the Empress. However, I need to do this. Life doesn't always go as we want. Hope you understand." The elder slightly bowed his head to give the two Princes his last respect.

"We don't need your speech Elder Zhong." Xiao Jun said calmly, despite the situation that they faced. He glanced at his brother who had turned paler. "I think of you as my own, but you did this to us. My parents and Elder Dam will not appreciate this. No matter what you say, it will not change the fact that you betrayed us."

"That's life, Jun. That's life…" He muttered, lowered his head in regret. It was a real regret that he felt, however his greediness was bigger than his conscience.

Behind Xiao Tianyao, Senja leaned her body toward Xiao Jun. "Keep talking…" She whispered.

Xiao Jun glanced at Senja behind Xiao Tianyao, he didn't understand what this girl was up to. He couldn't think about the way out except to fight them all, in spite the fact that their chance has dropped to zero, judging by their condition now.

Xiao Jun didn't see anything good from continuing the conversation with the vile person like Elder Zhong, he felt sick to only talk to a traitor like him. He was ready to fight him to death. He had nothing to regret except Qianru and his unborn child.

Unfortunately, Xiao Jun was still in the dark about his unborn child.

However, in the middle of Xiao Jun confusion and before the elder raised his hand to give a signal for the army behind him to start the attack on them, Xiao Tianyao beat him into it and opened his mouth.

"Are you involved in the murder of the late Emperor and Empress?" Xiao Tianyao asked him breathlessly.

Like Xiao Jun, he also didn't know what was Senja up to at this time, however he knew his woman than his brother did. She must have known something and whatever it was, he trusted her.

Well, their condition didn't make them have many choices, but Xiao Tianyao chose to bet on her. Senja was far from being a mistress in damsel, especially at a time like this.

"No, I am not." The elder shook his head. "I am loyal to your father."

The short answered made Xiao Tianyao clicked his tongue in annoyance before he tried to engage him in another conversation.

"Since when did you betray us?"

The elder looked doubtful to answer Xiao Tianyao's question, however with a shrug from his shoulder, he answered him nonetheless.

"Since I knew Dam was dead." His answer was curt.

"I never knew that you had communicated with him," This time, it was Xiao Jun who was talking. He directed his glared at Modama before he continued. "How did you contact him all this time?"

Finally, Xiao Jun participated in this conversation.

A smirk curled on his wrinkle lips when he heard this question. "You don't know if I know Ki language right? We have our own way to communicate." He said proudly.

By mentioning Ki Language, Senja immediately remembered about the secret letter and how Xiao Tianyao got it.

It was Hu Feng who supposed to deliver the letter, but accidentally he was caught by the Crescent Moon Members.

Elder Zhong must have used the same method, he was using a child to lower their guard. Not every people would have thought to be so strict with children. But, there should be no children near the military premises.

There were no children in there…

No, there were many of them.

The flashback of their journey to the Mountain Sui Sword Sect played inside Senja's mind. Xiao Jun's people managed to rescue many children that night.

If it was true, if everything that Senja thought was right… they have been trapped from the very beginning…
