But, if he wanted to keep this fact from Elder Dam then what did he really want by covering up the truth from Elder Dam? Was he helped her? No, it was impossible. If he helped her why he threaten her with creepy thing?

Many questions were ramming her brain yet, she wisely kept silent lest accidentally she said wrong thing again.

Senja silent was interpreted differently by Elder Dam as her shyness. Therefore, tactfully he didn't demand her explanation.

"What the matter that grandfather looking me for?" Xiao Tianyao question broke Elder Dam reverie.

He shook his head and said what the problem. He was asking about him whereabouts when a shadow guard told him that he was inside Senja's room that was why he came back. "Gu Xie is dead" Elder Dam said succinctly. He has just received this shocking news from a soldier.

Probably because Xiao Tianyao always acted calmly hence Elder Dam didn't find something unusual with him when he didn't gave much reaction. However, the grips on Senja's shoulder tighten as if he gave her a warning.

"Doctor Hong would check on him later" Elder Dam added, somehow felt awkward by the sight of Xiao Tianyao who still put his hands on Senja shoulder.

Finally he couldn't help himself to ask "What is going on with both of you?"

Senja has her head bow from the beginning, since Xiao Tianyao had caught her in the act and refused to unfold her, naturally she would act accordingly as a passive player she will agree to any of his arrangement as long as it still made sense, then she would willingly play along while thinking of a way to get out from here.

"Grandfather I have discussed this with young miss Senja, she already agree to my suggestion"

"Suggestion? What is it?" Elder Dam asked.

Yes, yes, what is your suggestion?

"I will personally safeguard her while I was away"

"You mean, you will take her away with you this coming 7 days?" Elder Dam asked in disbelief. "Did she agree?"

"Yes"

Huh? I didn't remember agree with anything to you!

Senja could feel Elder Dam questioning gaze fall upon her face. She raised her face and suddenly has an urge to shake her head however, she can't careless with the existence of the hands on her shoulder. With no other way out, reluctantly she nodded.

"Tianyao…" Elder Dam started but before he finished his words Xiao Tianyao had interrupted him.

"Grandfather, this coming day you will be away to city Y district 13, so do I. With the current event that was occurred, I thought it wasn't a smart choice to leave young miss Senja alone at the fortress. With the possibility there was traitor among our people, we couldn't take a risk that might be endanger her life. I will just be in town for observation and collecting missive from our intelligence if something happened and I need backup then the backup force can be easily reached me, however…" He halted for a moment before continued.

"City Y district 13 is quite far from here, if the people who after young miss Senja make a move then it will be hard for us to give supporting back up right in time" He done it well. His words were beautiful without scruple with no trace of lie on it. His reason is very make sense, more over he arranged his words in such a way that implicitly put his concerned about Senja safety. Other people will think that he did all that for her!

Senja wanted to clap her hands and praised him to the moon with his hypocrisy suggestion.

Bastard!
