504 MAIDEN HEAR

"Q city is very complex." Utara poured water on his glass and chugged it down before continued with his explanation. "Before today invasion, Q city has a problem with the rebellion."

Senja nodded. "I know that." She drank her water and pushed aside her empty bowl. "Xiao Wu Xie wanted to scheme against Xiao Tianyao about the rebellion in the Q city."

Senja remembered this piece of information clearly. It was Sana who told Xiao Tianyao all about this when Senja eavesdrop the conversation without that stupid girl knowing.

It felt like that event had happened centuries ago, time flew really fast.

"Xiao Jun managed to suppress the riot. But, after further investigation, it reveals that the rebellion happened because of incitement form a certain clan."

"What clan?"

"Xi clan."

"Xi clan?" Senja felt, she had heard about the name of that clan, but couldn't remember where or when. "Why they raise riots?"

"They are looking a map and someone told them that the Kingdom of Azura has it."

"So, that's why they raise a riot? It didn't sound convincing for me."

"Nope, it doesn't sound convincing for me too. But, the other reasons except from it were unknown."

**Xi Clan…?** Senja repeated the name of the clan inside her mind many times, trying to call back her memories about it when she had heard about the clan.

"What map that they are looking for?"

"Our intelligent said that they need the map to find their heirloom, but for what kind of heirloom, we still couldn't figure it out yet."

The keywords of 'heirloom' clicked in her mind as thought that words has unraveled her complicated memory. She remembered when she had heard about the Xi clan.

It was her mother who had told her about the Xi clan, she said the stone paradox of time was the heirloom of Xi clan. But…

**Doesn't that belong to the mind controller?** Senja thought to herself.

"Is the mind controller come from the Xi clan?" Senja asked with puzzled expression.

In the other hand, Utara gave her a weird looked. "Hmm, I don't think so." He said unsure.

**Damn! Why there is another mystery here?** This kind of unexpected information made all her plan needed to be readjusted again.

Right at that moment there was a sound of hurried footstep and the next second the curtain to the tent yanked open.

Xiao Tianyao regal figure was standing imposingly at the entrance of the tent. He looked terrifyingly awesome in his lavish black robe. Sweat form in his forehead and he was slightly panting, his kissable lips purse into scowl as he turned mad.

"Senja! What are you doing here!?" His voice was laced with anger and worry. It startled Utara whose back was facing the entrance. "What happened!?"

Xiao Tianyao almost turned crazy when he heard Senja was in his tent, initially he was looking for Utara, but when he knew Utara was in his tent, it confused him and the next thing that his subordinate told him almost made him lost his temper.

His mind started forming an annoying image of the worst possibility that might occur to her or something had happened at the northern fortress.

However, his harsh tone didn't matter for Senja as she marched toward the man that made her risked everything to be with him again.

His livid expression was thousands time better than the one that still etched in her mind. It would always be her reminder of how it feels to lose him. She didn't want to feel it again.

The moment Xiao Tianyao was in her arms reach, Senja's hands sneaked around his neck and pulled him close to her, forced Xiao Tianyao to bend down his tall body.

"I miss you." Senja whined with teary eyes before she kissed him affectionately.

Senja bold movement caught Xiao Tianyao out of guard and startled Utara, the poor man almost fell from his chair by the sudden display of affection.

At the time her lips touched his, her heart soared with bliss.

Xiao Tianyao's eyes rapidly showed his changing emotion in the span of second, from livid to surprise before finally they turned tender as he melt in her kiss.

When Xiao Tianyao reciprocated her affection and pulled her close to him until there was no space between them that could be shared and their heartbeat thumping against each other, Utara took that as a cue for him to leave.

However, they were standing at the entrance of the tent and that was the only way to escape this humid torturous place. Utara would be very thankful if they could move a bit, but seemingly they were rooted to the ground.

Awkwardly, the poor man clear his throat as his voice croaked. "Could you spare my maiden heart please, I am still here."
