Chapter 231: I trust you!

"This is the way you should read it." Senja started explaining, "Just read the first letter of the words with uppercase."

Xiao Tianyao followed the movements of Senja's finger. Ki language wasn't very hard to understand because they used the same alphabet as Azura's.

Senja slowly read every letter all along pointing with her forefinger, "M. A. R. P. L. E. F. O. R. E. S. T. F. I. R. S. T. J. U. L. Y. A. T. D. U. S. K"

"Marple forest first July at dusk?" Xiao Tianyao repeated.

He had known the location, but the date had still been a mystery. So, when Senja deciphered it this way, he believed her. The location and date were a perfect match!

"Will the trade happen at dusk today? Today is the first July, right?" Senja tried to recollect.

**That's right, the first of July is today! **

"Stop the carriage!" Xiao Tianyao bellowed.

No sooner than Yang Yu heard the command than he hastily pulled the reins. The three horses that were pulling the carriage came to a sudden halt with a prance.

"Arrgh!" Senja almost fell backwards and hit her head by the sudden jolt, luckily Xiao Tianyao held her back.

"Get off!" Xiao Tianyao didn't wait for a reply before he jumped off the carriage.

Once he got off, he waited for Senja and helped her to get off.

She was having a hard time with her elaborate dress and Xiao Tianyao didn't have the patience to wait for her to get off on her own. So, he held Senja by her waist and settled her with a single swoop.

Before Senja could process it, Xiao Tianyao held Senja's hand and walked towards 'Thunder', his horse, and lifted her by her waist again to put her on it before sitting behind her himself and trapping her between his strong arms as he took the reins.

They wouldn't be able to make it if they took the carriage. It was 7 hours to dusk while the distance from where they were now to Marple Forest was around 8 hours. Xiao Tianyao didn't have time to send Senja back to the Roccaleaf Tea House either. Thus, his only option was to bring her along with him.

It didn't seem like Senja would want to be left behind either. In fact, if Xiao Tianyao had decided to leave her behind, she would have tagged along no matter what. She had another business there!

Though it had been a while since her vision of the child in the Marple Forest, her gut instinct told her that she would be able to meet this child in person.

She had found Hu Feng and if she were able to find this child, Senja could draw the similarities between the two. There must be something that connected them with Yun.

"You trust my words right away!?" Senja looked up at Xiao Tianyao as she spoke on top of her voice. The wind was too strong, so it drowned her voice.

"I know you are capable of doing it." Xiao Tianyao didn't shout like her, but Senja was able to hear him.

"What if I am wrong?"

It wasn't like that she had a low self-esteem, but it was quite stressful when someone put so much of their trust in her. She was only afraid of disappointing him.

Xiao Tianyao held Senja's head down as they passed the trees with low branches. Senja would certainly faint if she were hit by it if he didn't do so.

"You won't." Xiao Tianyao said simply. He too didn't know why, but he simply felt that Senja wouldn't go wrong with this.

Senja blushed as she was touched by Xiao Tianyao's trust in her. She felt happy to hear him say so.

The sound of a dozen galloping horses of Crescent Moon Members drew closer behind them, as Yang Yu came up right next to Xiao Tianyao.
