268 I HEARD THAT SENJA! edited (1/2)

Early in the morning, a carriage had arrived in front of the lodgment. Xiao Tianyao helped Senja to get inside the carriage, but this time he didn't get in. Instead, he rode his horse with Xiao Jun.

Along the way to Roccaleaf Tea House, Senja was bored because she had nothing to do and no one to chat with. In the end, she chose to sleep as she's still feeling tired from using hypnosis the night before.

When they arrived and the carriage stopped, Xiao Tianyao got on to the carriage only to find Senja fast asleep.

”Wake up.” Xiao Tianyao shook her shoulder. ”We've arrived.”

Senja opened her eyes lazily and yawned. Her head mildly throbbing in pain, ”We have arrived?”

”Yes,” Xiao Tianyao replied softly as he neatened her messy hair.

Senja was taken aback by his gesture, but she stayed mum and just enjoyed the treatment. After a moment, they got off the carriage. However, Xiao Jun was nowhere in sight.

Senja had been gone for almost 3 days. Had her grandfather returned and gotten wind of her absence, he would've surely been flustered to the point of rage.

Reality proved that Senja had guessed it right for the moment she stepped into Roccaleaf Tea House, her grandfather was approaching her with long strides.

”Where did you bring her!?” Elder Dam pulled Senja to his side and gave Xiao Tianyao a tongue lashing. ”I told you to come and let Young Miss Sana re-check the contents of the letter. What were you doing these past few days bringing my granddaughter!?”

Under Elder Dam's wrath, Xiao Tianyao's expressions hardly changed. His stoic face simply held the usual respect. He stood there as though he was the eye of the tempest called Elder Dam...ever so calm, absolutely immune to his backlashes.

”Grandfather, even if I'd stayed here there's nothing that I could've done since Young Miss Sana lost the letter.”

”Sana lost the letter!?” Elder Dam's expression turned even uglier.

Apparently, Elder Dam had just come back and the first news he received was of Senja and Xiao Tianyao's disappearance. He didn't know anything about the letter as Xiao Wu Wie seemed to have covered the news up.
