Xun pulled Uncle Su's other hand as he urged the same, "Let's go! Your son is waiting for you in Greenhill."

"My son…" Uncle Su turned gloomy at the mention of 'son'.

"Yes, yes, your son. In Greenhill Mountain, we need to go back now."

Uncle Su didn't seem to grasp Sheng's words as he lowered his head and mumbled, "Ye Qing…?"

"Yes, Ye Qing is waiting, let's go back for now okay?" A terrified Sheng urged him. He looked as if Uncle Su would turn into a beast any minute.

Senja didn't know what calm waters her question had stirred, but she wisely kept mum. Based on 'Senja's letter, Uncle Su's son was indeed called Ye Qing.

"Ye Qing is waiting for me?" Uncle Su raised his head in dismay, but his small eyes glimmered with hope.

Senja couldn't put a finger on Uncle Su's mood as of now, but it was certainly on the lines of totally messed up!

"Yes, don't let the little boy wait for too long." Sheng persuaded him.

"Yes, let's go home. My son and my wife are waiting for me." Uncle Su stood up happily and walked away with Sheng and didn't even spare Senja a glance.

When the two were out of earshot, Senja turned to question Xun.

"What happened to him?"

Xun shook his head, "He is actually emotionally unstable. That's why the both of us need to monitor him."

"What do you mean emotionally unstable? He was fine only a moment ago." Senja furrowed her brows.

"He is mostly fine until something triggers his unpleasant memories." Xun looked at Senja meaningfully.

"Did I ask something wrong?"

"Don't ever ask about his son and his wife." Xun stated grimly.

"What happened to them?" Senja asked carefully, even as she guessed the answer.

Xun stood up and took a deep breath before replying, "They were killed, a long time ago."

Senja was stunned. She didn't know what to say or what to think as she dumbfoundedly looked at Xun who walked out from her room. Her thoughts flew to the turbulent emotions that she had sensed in Uncle Su before, akin to a complicated knot that needed to be untangled.

After that, the joyful words from Senja's letter rang in her mind. **Senja was so happy when she wrote about Uncle Su's wife and son. Did she know that they were killed? **

......

The next morning when Senja came back from her practice with Utara, she woke Yoona up and counselled her. She was good at this kind of stuff now.

Senja then told Yoda and his mother that the twins they had met the other day were the ones who had brought her back. Both Yoda and his mother believed it easily. There was no reason for otherwise.

The much-awaited little family reunion finally was underway and Senja was sincerely happy for them. The same day, Senja told her grandfather about this and as usual Elder Dam complied to her wishes.

Yoona was a sweet little girl who talked about a lot of things. Senja liked to hear the stories she told. However, her thoughts kept going back to the unread letters in her wardrobe.

There were many stacks of paper inside and it was impossible to read them all in a day. Besides she had a tight schedule as it is. She was required to have breakfast, lunch and dinner with her grandfather. Sometimes Elder Dam would even ask her to go with him on a trip to the town. At night, Senja still needed to practice with Utara.

She had better organize her routine before she collapsed from exhaustion!

Yoona's life story and the former Senja's letters kept her boredom in check and in a blink of an eye, it was one and half months since Xiao Tianyao went away. There was no news from him, and even her grandfather was clueless about his plans and whereabouts.

Worry. That's what Senja felt as she asked Utara about him, but he didn't say a peep. He kept reiterating that he would return soon and that he was fine. After another attempt to make him talk had failed miserably that night, Senja resigned herself to the fact that Xiao Tianyao was fine.
