Xiao Tianyao puzzled as well. If Elder Dam wasn't too sure, then Xiao Tianyao was very sure that Senja is fine before. He arrived earlier than them, and he saw Ye Xiu didn't do anything harmful to the girl. Because if he really hurt her, Senja would have passed out or grimace in anguish instead of crying sadly like a lost child.
"Lead the way!" Elder Dam didn't waste another breath and order the Shadow Guard to show him the lodgment where Wang Yu had brought Senja.
"Yes." The Shadow Guard rose on his feet and walked hastily.
***
Inside the lodgment.
Senja was laid down on the bed while Elder Dam sat beside her. Her face was very blanch, the physician before told him that Senja suffered from internal injury. It most likely that someone had strike her with internal energy.
Elder Dam shoulder was very tense as he curled his fingers into a fist when he heard the physician report. "Ye Xiu had dug his own grave!" He growled. He would never have thought that someone who had injured his granddaughter was his own son. Perhaps in the future when he realized it, it would have been too late.
Xiao Tianyao glanced at Wang Yu, who stood not too far from Senja's bed. There was no remorse or guilty was written on his face, hence Xiao Tianyao couldn't make a guess that it was he who had harmed Senja. He had heard some information about Wang Yu dark story, and more or less he could figure it out how the interaction between Wang Yu and his daughter.
In spite of that, for a father to harm his own children until like this was something that Xiao Tianyao couldn't comprehend. He was a young man in his early 20 even though he was astounding in his achievement in the military, most likely there must be a lot of hurdle that he needed to experience to be able for him to have a better view of the world.
Xiao Jun had told him to not interfere in this matter, that was why he chose to walk out from the room, leaving their small reunion.
When he was about to open the door, at the same time someone from the opposite side had opened it.
Xiao Tianyao startled a bit before he saw his brother figure. The taut between his eyes like saying that his conversation with his Master didn't run smoothly.
"I need to talk to you." Xiao Tianyao dragged him away from the door by his elbow to the other side of the hallway.
"What is it?" Xiao Jun asked him when they finally stop at one of the balcony in the aisle. No one there except both of them.
"Why your Master did that?"
"Did what?" Xiao Jun cocked his head. "Kidnapped Senja? It was a moment of impulsiveness." He said tiredly, he thought his brother was talking about Ye Xiu that had kidnapped Senja, however Xiao Tianyao shook his head.
"Why did your Master hurt the girl?"
"Master harmed Senja?" Xiao Jun asked back in confusion. "Impossible, he would never hurt her."
"But, now that girl laid on the bad unconscious because of internal injury." Xiao Tianyao looked at his brother changing expression into disbelief. It seemed, Xiao Jun also didn't belief about this information.
"Impossible! It wasn't him." He said in affirmation.
Xiao Tianyao nodded in agreement. "Then it must be General Wang Yu." He summarized it lightly and folded his arms. "Now, tell me what you up to with your Master? I know it must have something to do with the murders of our parents."
Xiao Jun leaned his body to the hand trail at the balcony. He looked at into the distance, to the dim light that lit up in every house. "Yes,"
Xiao Tianyao approached his brother and stood next to him. "Let me know your plan."
Xiao Jun didn't answer him directly, "Tianyao…" He called him softly after sometime, but with a trace of worry.
"Stop talking in that tone. That's annoying. I am not a kid anymore."
Xiao Jun was giggled by his answer. "You will always be a little brat for me though."
"Stop talking nonsense and get down to the business." Xiao Tianyao looked very irritated.
Xiao Tianyao straight forward attitude reminded him of their father. How Xiao Jun admired this side of him.
It's been very tough for Xiao Jun in this past 7 years since he had gone, and without he noticed it, his little brother had been mature enough to share the matter at his hand. But, of course he wouldn't endanger him with unnecessary things.
"This thing is extremely dangerous." Xiao Jun teased him with exaggerated tone. He knew Xiao Tianyao would be very upset with this.
"Hmm… agreed," Xiao Tianyao straighten his back, ready to leave when he spoke. "I will let Commander Dam knew about this."
He was about to leave when Xiao Jun pulled him back by grabbing his shoulder as he hissed in irritation. "I would have never thought, there will be a day that you threaten me."
"I am not." Xiao Tianyao brushed Xiao Jun's hand aside. "It's not a threat, I will do it."
"I am sure you will." Xiao Jun very sure about this, his brother was someone who kept-their-words type of person. "Why I have a brother so stiff like this." He mumbled.
"I am sorry for that, but it would be better if you just accept it, because I did the same when it came to you."
Xiao Jun sneered. "Let me know, how much you love me from 1 to 10?"
"5"
"How much you hate me?"
"Around 7, sometimes 8"
Xiao Jun laughed bitterly. "Now I wonder why I have to tell you about my plan."
"Because if you didn't it will be 10." Xiao Tianyao replied it with certainty on his wooden face.
Xiao Jun chuckled. "Alright. 10 are bad."
Xiao Tianyao leaned his back against the wall leisurely while waiting his brother next words. "Let me know what you have planed all this time."
