"So, it was him?" Her tone was more like an affirmation than a question.

However, Xiao Jun refused to answer it. "The thing was more complicated than that." He dodged the real question.

"Uncle Su wasn't in Greenhill Mountain." She informed them. "He had left with the twins before Xiao Tianyao arrived."

"I know." Xiao Jun nodded. "He carried out my orders."

"What order?" Senja couldn't help, but curious with Xiao Jun's plan.

"Actually he was here."

Senja furrowed her eyebrows. "He was the one who send the firework sign?" She guessed and Xiao Jun nodded.

There was another uncomfortable silence spread between the two as they resumed walking the path to the meeting point.

"What is your actual plan?" Senja asked again. Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao didn't share their plan with her and left her in the dark with all those worry. It pissed her.

"Lure Modama and his troops out so my people could proceed to track down the remaining children that Misty Cloud Clan had kidnapped." Xiao Jun explained.

"So, that firework was a sign that they had found the children or they had rescued them?"

"They had rescued them."

Senja nodded with that and they remained silence once again. She didn't know what she felt about Xiao Jun involvement with Luna's death. After all, Luna had an ill intention toward his younger brother and almost destroyed both of them based on Qianru's story, so Luna reaped what she sowed.

Yet, it wasn't fair for Xiao Tianyao. He was misled by his own memories.

As they walked, the sun was rising on the east. The glimmer of light passed between the green foliage.

It was tired and creepy night that had ever happened to her. Senja was spent and confused. There was a matter of Xiao Tianyao and Uncle Su, mind controller, war and power struggle to the mix.

Suddenly, she felt dejavu. Something that was familiar, yet at the same time she knew that she didn't know about this.

She looked around as her eyes wandered at her surroundings.

She knew this place, but how could it be? This was the first time she was here and she could swear to that.

But, her feet say the otherwise. Senja stopped walking. She knew this path. She had seen it.

"What happened?" Xiao Jun halted as he scrutinized the confusion on Senja's expression. "Something is wrong?"

Xiao Jun followed Senja's line of sight as he wandered his eyes throughout the condensed of the trees that was surrounded them. But, he saw nothing.

Suddenly, Senja walked to her right side. Strode away from their path and gradually started to run.

"Senja!" Xiao Jun shouted at her and started to run as well.

With his long legs and speed, in no time he was running beside her. Xiao Jun grabbed her shoulder to force her to stop, they were running to the different way from their meeting point.

"Stop! What is it?" Xiao Jun perplexed.

"I know this place…" Senja said, seemingly perturbed, but her mind was elsewhere. "I saw it…"

"What do you mean?"
