Chapter 258: An attempt

And there, she saw the shadows of Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun on the curtain, in his balcony. Apparently, Xiao Jun was in his younger brother's room. They seemed to be in the middle of an argument and were pacing back and forth.

Right then, Senja was stunned by a sudden shriek from the intersection. It was Yang Yu. She pressed her back against the wall behind her as she crept in Yang Yu's direction. Senja stole a peek from behind the wall and she saw, Yang Yu with bleeding hand fighting three men at the same time.

**Ck, he had always ended up getting the short end of a stick in a scuffle, always being outnumbered in a fight! **

She looked at them and the sight that made her brows scrunch up was Feng Chang. He was actually one of the three people fighting against Yang Yu! Senja would help him if she could, but her appearance would only bring trouble and put her in harm's way. That was why she needed to think about another way to help him.

The sounds of the clashing of swords were heard, they fought fiercely as she tried to figure out what she could do when she felt some stones under her feet.

These stones were as big as her palm, but Senja certainly wouldn't hurl it at the trio, that action wouldn't harm them and only provoke them instead. She had provoked someone earlier today and it hadn't ended well. She was wiser now for she didn't have any intention of provoking this threesome.

Senja reached out her hand and grabbed a stone. She was quite a skilled marksman; it came in very handy at this critical time.

She went a few steps back and got into position, took an aim at her target, lifted her arm, bent her body forward to provide the thrust and increase the accuracy and hurled the stone all along maintaining an eye contact with her target.

With a 'swissh' the stone flew towards the third floor, striking at the iron bars in the balcony with a loud noise

Senja wanted to draw the quibbling duos' attention while not alerting the enemy at the side. However, at the din from the strike the sparing quartet tilted their heads in the direction of the sound.

They still hadn't spotted Senja, as she hid behind the wall. But they did grow alert, turning more brutal to hastily finish Yang Yu off.

Now the sounds of the clashing swords were fiercer than ever.

Senja looked up at the balcony and hoped the two brothers would notice, yet nothing happened.

Disappointed, Senja reached for a second pebble, this time determined to put even more effort into it. It would be best if it hit the head of that bullheaded Xiao Tianyao!

Just as she raised her arms again, summoning her total concentration, ready to put in all of her strength, someone caught her hand.

"You can stop throwing stones at us Young Miss Senja."

In the darkness, she could sense Xiao Jun emerge with a sword already unsheathed in his hand, and a smile that never seemed to leave his lips as he walked past Senja.

Senja caught sight of Xiao Jun first because he walked from in front of her…. then the one who caught her hand must be…

"Surprised?" Xiao Tianyao warm breath brushed against Senja's ear sending an involuntary shiver down her whole body.

"Not at all!" Senja hissed in agitation as she wriggled her hand free from Xiao Tianyao's grip and covered her ears. **Stay away from my ears, pervert! **

Xiao Tianyao looked at her with amusement.

"Stay here!" He sternly commanded.
