Elder Dam cleared his throat to return the ambiguous atmosphere back to normal, regardless it still awkward to bring up another topic.

"Cough… Senja, go back to your room and stay there. Since your identity has been exposed, it isn't safe to roam the street."

Despite feeling dissatisfied, Senja knew she couldn't argue with him this time, the moment isn't right. She smiled sweetly and replied. "Yes, grandfather."

"Grandfather will accompany you to your room." Elder Dam also stood up and added in an annoyed tone, "Tianyao, you also go back to your room to get some rest, we will discuss that matter later." He gave an order to Xiao Tianyao, like an Elder reprimanded their youngster because they behaved badly.

"Understood." Xiao Tianyao replied calmly. He had spent almost twenty years of his life under Elder Dam's care, he was almost like his own grandfather and he respects him like the real one.

When Elder Dam and Senja had disappeared behind the door, Xiao Tianyao stood up and left. Leave Utara alone without saying anything.

"Seriously! Nobody noticed me here?!" Utara exclaimed irritably.

After a bunch of warnings from her grandfather not to leave Roccaleaf Tea House and added two more guards at her door, Elder Dam finally left Senja alone.

During the moment of her grandfather warnings, Senja repeatedly nodded her head in submission. However when the door closed, her mind work fast to think of the way to slipped out from the room. It didn't matter for her if Elder Dam added more guards at her door. Since the window in her room faced the street, she could walk away whenever she wanted because the guards on the roof wouldn't notice it and Elder Dam would never thought about that possibility.

She tapped her foot on the red carpet while thinking. It was a good thing that Xiao Tianyao here, instead of Yoda, it would be more reliable if Xiao Tianyao was the one who investigated the matter in the brothel. He could send Yang Yu there.

Then, the first thing she had to do was meet Xiao Tianyao and told him about this.

Senja walked across the room and ducked under the bed, where she put her black robe. Considering women in this era had very complicated outfit, she deliberately kept this one on purpose for her convenience movement when she needed to sneak out.

"Classic place to hide your things."

Senja turned her head with shock expression written all over her face.

And there, his presence looked so relaxed yet, so dangerous that dominating the room, his eyes greeted her with grim look. Senja stood up from under the bed.

Senja knew that the matter earlier displeased him. Ignoring his resentment, she pretended like nothing had happened and bounced toward him happily.

"I was just about to sneak out to meet you, but you already here." She gave him the best smile she could, "Our way of thinking is in sync." Her smiled grew wider. In this way he won't remain angry with what I did right?

"It must be fate." Senja tried to maintain her smile and happy atmosphere, however seeing the lack of response, the smile on her face gradually faded.

Fine! No tears, no sassy move! Those two things didn't work for him at all! Senja silently made a note in her mind.

She lowered her head and curled her lips, "I am sorry." She said regretfully.

"What the news?" Xiao Tianyao leaned on a wall behind him, ignoring Senja's apologizes.

Since he changed their topic Senja also no longer showed her remorse expression, her attitude turned excited as she walked closer to him with happy smile.

Senja sudden changes of expression left Xiao Tianyao speechless. Did she really apologize before?
