Senja rolled her eyes. "I like weird people. That's why I like you." She grinned from ear to ear.

In the other hand, looking at her smile, he couldn't help to reciprocate it. "So, do you think I am weird?"

"A good kind of weird." Senja stated, laughing.

"My stubborn woman." Xiao Tianyao sighed deeply as he hugged her.

"I will take that as a yes." Knowing she had won the argument, Senja chuckled lightly.

"When you will go?"

"As soon as possible."

Still hugging her, Xiao Tianyao laid her down on the bed. "I want to go with you." He mumbled on her shoulder.

"Clingy!" Senja scoffed, but she smiled a second later.

"Senja." Xiao Tianyao stopped kissing her shoulder and lifted his head to look at her. "What the child said in Ki language?"

Senja frowned upon hearing this, the question was out of the topic, but she answered him nonetheless. "Shoot north tomorrow."

Xiao Tianyao lowered his gaze, he thought for a long while before replying. "I think I know what it is."

.....

The vast plans were dusty and the mountain was majestically prominent standing as the background while the sun starting brightened up the earth.

Waking up early in the morning, Senja could hear a voice of chirping bird. Her head still muddled, she thought, she had woken up early enough, but when she looked the spot next to her, Xiao Tianyao had woken up earlier than her.

Today she would be on her way to the Q city around afternoon, but before that, should her disappearance risen a suspicious, she needed to give one last show to Elder Zhong before she left.

She assumed Xiao Tianyao had left for discussed this matter with Xiao Jun, so she got off from the bed and picked up her outer robe from the floor.

Just like what she had thought, Xiao Tianyao had asked someone to bring her breakfast before he left. It was so thoughtful of him.

Wrapping her naked body only with the thin robe, she washed her face and started eating her breakfast. No one would audacious enough to barge into Xiao Tianyao's tent except for himself, so it was fine.

However, in the middle of munching her breakfast, a little noise sounded from outside of the tent and gradually getting louder.

Senja stopped her spoon midair, concentrating with what the other soldiers said, however their voices sounded like a buzz in her ear, it was only the urgency in their tones which Senja could hear.

Put down her spoon, Senja get dressed and tight her hair into a simple bun, after a brief checking on herself that she had properly clothed, Senja dashed out from the tent.

Upon seeing Yang Yu, she rushed toward him and asked what was happening while dismissing his politely bowed.

"There was assassin attempt, Young Miss Senja." He replied.

"Assassin attempt? Here? Who was the target!?" Senja snapped in fear, a bad image flew across her mind.

"It was Lieutenant Utara, but don't worry Young Miss Senja, Master managed to stop it in time." Yang Yu tried to reassure Senja.

However, with the mention of Xiao Tianyao's involvement, Senja became more aggravated.

"Where is him now!? Lead the way." Senja felt her blood rushed to her head.

"In the infirmary tent, this way please." Yang Yu obediently showed the way to Senja by running in front of her.

The infirmary tent was located at the back on the periphery of the Military premises, and it took fifteen minutes running to reach there.

The moment they entered the infirmary tent, the first person who Senja wanted to see was actually sitting on the edge of the bed with Doctor Lin tended his wounded arms.

Senja felt her heart dropped to her stomach as she staggered back, she was panting heavily due to race immediately there, but to see Xiao Tianyao bloody arms she almost forgot to take a breath.

Her body shaking as the image of him dying on the same bed barged in, her eyes welled up.

"Senja?" Xiao Tianyao caught the sight of her, but looking at how scared she was, made him frowned. "What happened?" He stood up and approached her.

He thought another bad thing had happened that frightened her, "What happen to her?" Xiao Tianyao glared at Yang Yu who also didn't know why Senja was like that.

Truthfully, he answered his Master that Senja was fine and nothing bad befell on her.

As the understanding dawn on him, Xiao Tianyao caressed her back and rested his head on the top of her head. "I am fine." He said softly.

Senja knew he was fine and it was only a wound, that couldn't endanger his life, but looking at his blood, it relived unpleasant memories.

Nodding slowly, Senja wiped away her tears. "What happened?" She asked.

Only after her focus wasn't solely on Xiao Tianyao, she realized other person inside the room.

There were Xiao Jun, Elder Zhong, Elder Chen and Utara who was standing near the entrance, unscathed. Senja frowned.

"There was assassin attempt on Utara at the northern side." Xiao Tianyao said while giving the meaningful looked to Senja.

However, her concerned wasn't that. "Why there was someone who wanted to kill Utara, but you are the one who got hurt?!" She raised her voice sounded angry.

Utara who was standing behind her, twitched his lips. It was fine if she didn't care about his safety, she didn't need to, but didn't mean it was polite gesture to show her dissatisfied frankly, right?

"I am sorry if I am not the one who got hurt." Utara said with frowned.

Turned around, Senja looked at Utara sideways. "You should take care of yourself better next time!"

"Thank you for your concerned." The young man sulked.

"Elder Fu has chasing after the assassins." Elder Chen said. "He will be back soon."

Took a deep breath Senja glared at Xiao Jun. "See? I told you there is a traitor. But, you don't believe me!" She shouted at him that surprised the two elders and Utara. "It must be Elder Fu who arranged to assassinate Utara! Now, he is pretending to chase after the culprit!" Senja barked furiously.

"SEND HER AWAY!" Xiao Jun bellowed, no less angry than her. "You have no right to speak in this matter!"

"No need! I can go by myself!!" Senja scoffed indignantly before she turned around and rushed out of the tent.
