The road to the Q city was completely desolated from human, there was only empty house and street in the usually crowded city. Apparently those citizens had taken shelter in another place or they went to the neighboring city for protection.

Q city only has two district, the first district had been occupied by Azura's army while the second district had been left by the citizens.

Q city was bigger city than the capital city, it was no wonder that to conquest this city needed more effort and time to materialize the perfect plan. It was a pity that in the previous time when finally they managed to subjugate the city, Xiao Zi's side succeeded to take it back because of the traitor among Xiao Jun's people.

This time, it would be different.

After Senja and Yang Yu had passed the empty second district of Q city they were heading to the north to meet Uncle Su.

The place that Xiao Tianyao had written for her was a small tea stall that was located in the border of Q city. Apparently it still opened as a few people was enjoying the tea there.

Senja immediately could spot Uncle Su's huge machete which leaning beside his table. But, it wasn't only him. There were the twins as well, flanking on his right and left.

The smile on their face bigger when they saw Senja was approaching them.

"Senja! It has been a long time since the last time I saw you!" One of the twin cried in delight that Senja assumed was Sheng.

"Yes!" Xun chimed in, still fascinating with Senja's purple hair.

She didn't wear the bamboo hat or the turban. At this point, there was no use to hide her identity anymore.

Thus all the people at the tea stall were ogling at her hair, but because Senja was surrounded by those bulky men with sword hung on their waist, they were wisely didn't try to find out about her further or made a fuss over her hair.

"The three of you went away without words from the Greenhill Mountain." Senja complained.

"We have sudden mission at that time." Xun explained. "Couldn't help but to go right away."

Afte Senja ordered her drink, Xun moved to the empty chair on his left and gave his seat beside Uncle Su who unusually very quite.

"What happened to him?" Senja nudged Xun when she sat down.

"He didn't want to go, but Prince Xiao Tianyao forced him to come. We need to drag him here, so he will not make useless trouble."

"We need to baby sit him when we have more important role to fulfill." Sheng scoffed, his brilliant eyes slanted in discontented.

"What you will do if you are not here?" Senja asked.

"Prince Xiao Jun had assignment us to defend the Q city."

Senja cringed when she heard it. "You will very grateful if you know." Senja murmured while sipping her tea.

If both of them were supposed to defend the Q city it meant, they would be dead when the Azura's army took over the city back from their hand.

"So, what happened with him?" Senja pointed at Uncle Su with her chin.

"He didn't want to meet his brother, Uncle Ye Xiu." Sheng said.

Senja raised her eyebrows when she heard this, waving her hand to make Sheng explain further.

"You will go to meet Gong Xu that he believes Uncle Ye Xiu is there as well." Sheng glanced at Uncle Su beside him who didn't give any respond even though he was the topic of the conversation. "I don't know where he got the information. Uncle Ye Xiu had been missing for almost four years now."

Senja looked over at Uncle Su who was sullenly playing with the tea cup in his hand, it seemed something had happened between the brothers that made Ye Bai reluctant to meet Ye Xiu, he didn't even greet Senja when she came.

"Hei!" Senja shouldered Uncle Su to get his attention, but he ignored her. "You will not meet him. He will have gone when we are there."

Only then Uncle Su lifted his head and looked at Senja, puzzled. "How do you know?"

"I know, because he is with Riana now." Senja answered certainly.

Ye Xiu was with Riana now, as absurd as it heard, but it was the truth that, he was with Riana in different world and time now.

"Did Uncle Ye Xiu finally meet Riana!?" Sheng exclaimed.

"That's shocking news! How do you know that? The story about Ye Xiu and Riana are very well known." Xun mumbled the last sentences.

Senja was leisurely munching the rabbit cake on the table while saying. "Of course I know."

"Are you sure he is with Riana now?" Uncle Su shouldered her back as he asked curiously.

"Hmm." Senja nodded as her mouth too full to answer him.

"How?" Uncle Su turned around to face her, demanding the detail.

"I will tell you if you come with me." Senja answered with a wink after she managed to swallow the cake.

Upon hearing Senja's answer the old man groaned in annoyance.

........

Along the way toward a sanctuary, Ye Xiu didn't stop to bother Senja to tell him how Ye Xiu finally found a way to meet Riana.

As long as Ye Bai knew, his brother had been following the child from the Black Sword Clan and he had told him once that only that child could help him to meet Riana again, regarding how it worked, Ye Xiu and he didn't know as well.

And now, Senja said he had finally found the way, he was very curious to know.

The four horses galloping under the sky that had turned dark, by only looking gloomy cloud they knew that the rain would be pouring down soon. Yang Yu had gone back to the military camp after made sure Senja was with Uncle Su.

"I have told you many times, 'Senja' who Riana meant is me! Not Elder Dam's granddaughter. So I sent him to Riana!" Senja shouted agitatedly, her voice was fighting with the fierce wind that whistled in their ears.

"So, why are you still here and my brother is gone!?" Uncle Su kept asking questions stubbornly like a dissatisfy child.

"Because I chose to return!"

"That's mean my brother can return!?"

"Only if he wants!" Senja ended the conversation.
