"I know that you are aware of how Xiao Tianyao feels about you. He won't say it, but I believe you are able to read the fine lines clearly. This is one of the abilities of a mind controller." Xiao Jun continued.

Senja looked at the man in front of her, deep in thought as she analyzed him.

Xiao Jun was as calm as Xiao Tianyao, but his calmness was slightly different from his brother's. If Senja didn't have this ability, she would have found it difficult to assess this guy's objectives. **Is he a friend or a foe? **

That smile on his face hid his emotions perfectly well. But truthfully, he wasn't a malicious personality. He had only put forth his standing in a distinctive manner that someone naive would easily overlook and presume that he was all nice, when in fact, he was a cunning personality.

One more thing that Senja could sense from him was that his care for his brother wasn't a pretense. Xiao Jun cherished Xiao Tianyao, and Senja didn't doubt even a bit of it.

On the other side, Xiao Tianyao's calmness was a calm before a storm. He would let his enemies do as they pleased and deal them a fatal blow. Because Senja couldn't sense his emotions, she didn't know how he felt.

Senja sighed. She just wanted to find Yun as soon as possible.

"Actually, I can't sense Prince Xiao Tianyao's emotions. I don't know why, but something has blocked me from it." She said truthfully.

Xiao Jun tilted his head. "What you mean by 'you can't'?"

Senja shrugged her shoulder. "I have to feel your emotions to be able to perform hypnosis, but I feel nothing from him. To put it simply, if I were to hypnotize him, I wouldn't be able to do it."

Xiao Jun lowered his head and fell in deep thought as he kept mum.

"Prince Xiao Jun, you wanted to tell me about the stone in my possession this evening. Can we continue with it please?" Senja was very eager to bring this topic up again.

Xiao Jun raised his head and looked at Senja seriously.

"62 years ago, my grandfather led his troops to hunt down all mind controllers and killed every one of them because with their power they had a high potential to bring calamity to the entire continent. They could get a whole kingdom to conquer another or fight among themselves ensuring downfall either way."

"Was that so horrible?" Senja was quite concerned about this.

"Well, around the time, two kingdoms were destroyed because they wielded their power. Although my late grandfather shared the happenings in detail with me, I think this information is enough to enable you to imagine how chaotic that period was and how dangerous the mind controllers were." Xiao Jun paused before continuing, "The stone in your possession is their heirloom. They called it the Stone Paradox of Time. It was last seen in the Kingdom of Xinghe's territory before Azura conquered it."

Senja felt dizzy by this information. **What the hell was all of this! **

She had done nothing except look for Yun in order to go back home, even had gotten entangled in this messy mind controller business and the mysterious Senja's identity.

Senja covered her face in distressed. "Can you tell me where Yun is? I want to go home." She mumbled between her fingers.

Xiao Jun chuckled when he looked at Senja's reaction. As it turned out she was clueless about all this mind controller history and just casually used her ability without thinking that the consequences would lead her to such dire straits.

"Can I disappoint you one more time?" Xiao Jun asked gleefully.
