NOVEL NEXT Chapter 95: Tiring act
Initially she wanted to continue her act and dig out more information since she couldn't get the information that she needed because the black robe man has came to jail before her and killed Gu Xie.
However, Senja desired to rest discouraged her. Her body was aching and paining from last night's fight. With the thought that she still has a lot of time and days ahead to discovered this matter, Senja replied to Elder Dam softly.
"I am alright now grandfather. You must have a lot of things to take care of, don't delayed. Last night incident surely not something ordinary" She tried to make her words sound sensible.
Elder Dam didn't leave immediately but comforted Senja for awhile more. After Senja snorted her last sob and lied on the bed just then he left.
Perhaps because he was in hurry to catch up with the update of the situation or perhaps his mind was in a mess or perhaps it was Xiao Tianyao who has low sense of existence. Whatever the reason was, Elder Dam just walked with big strides outside the room without noticing that Xiao Tianyou had been standing behind the pillar all this time.
He closed the door quietly as he stepped outside, he gathers all the shadow guard nearby to give them an instruction.
When Senja heard the door closed, her soft sobbing abruptly stopped as she get off the bed while still covering her whole body with quilt.
She was clearing her throat a few times and murmured "Ugh, my throat hurt" Although there was still a trace of sobbing in her voice but, her tone was completely different from before. There is no fear or timid in her tone.
This sudden change amused Xiao Tianyao who was watching intensely from his leaning position near a pillar. He watched Senja move to the round table in the center of the room with quilt tag along on her body. She gulped down a glass of water, followed by the second glass after that when she would pour the third glass Xiao Tianyao talked which resulted her hand froze mid air.
"I can see, crying is a tiring act"
Senja almost smashed the teapot in her hand when she put it down and abruptly turned around just to see Xiao Tianyao gazed on her.
When he came? Why I couldn't feel his presence?
If everything has their own nemesis then Xiao Tianyao was her ability's nemesis. It had been proven more than once that Senja totally clueless and senseless about this guy in front of her. From the looks of it, he has been there for long time however Senja couldn't sense his existence. Even now she still able to feel the presence of Elder Dam from the courtyard together with bunch of shadow guards nearby.
But, for him? None! Senja was senseless towards him. But, why?!
Instead of his presence, Senja was more shock about the fact she couldn't sense his existence nevertheless, Xiao Tianyao couldn't possibly decipher her inner thought that was why Senja's shock expression now he interpreted as a thief who caught in the act.
He smiled mockingly. "What with that expression?" He drawled as he was coming closer to her.
Senja's purple hair was glowing under the sunrays and her brown eyes shone with stubbornness, it made her look like ethereal creature who wasn't belong to this world.
Xiao Tianyao stopped when there were 3 steps distance between them. Their eyes locked to each other. Stubbornly Senja folded her arms in front of her chest under her quilt, she clutched it tightly, feared the possibility Xiao Tianyao would snatch it.
"It seems Commander Xiao has a bad habit to barge into my room" She said mockingly.
