286 THEY SOLD HIS FAMILY AWAY edited (1/2)
”So, this is the residence of M City Head?” Senja asked Yoda as she got off her horse. They were standing in front of a red entrance gate now.
Fortunately, Senja had gotten used to being among people, so their reactions didn't bother her anymore and she felt that she was only getting better and better at this. Since M city was a big city it was more crowded than L city, it would have exhausted Senja if she weren't able to block off all those ogling eyeballs and stunned visages.
Senja was wearing a purple dress. Since not many women would wear a striking purple dress like her in broad daylight while riding a horse, it definitely invited a second if not a third glance her way. The truth of the matter was, she had always liked being the center of attraction, so she just enjoyed the wonder glazed gazes the passersby sent her way.
Not only that, of course she needed to wear her turban to cover her purple hair. Even though she had gotten used to donning it, she had yet to start liking it. It would be very nice if only she could trim her hair.
”Yes. It hasn't changed a bit since the last time I was here.” Yoda also got off from his horse and struck the wrought iron knocker on the gate.
The loud noise from the knocker summoned a young gatekeeper to open the small door beside the gate.
”Yoda?” The young man exclaimed in disbelief, ”You are here?! I thought you were in the eastern military fortress?!”
Yoda's eyes lit up when he saw the young gatekeeper. They seemed to be on good terms. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he greeted Senja very politely. Then he spoke to Yoda about his mother and his sister.
”Master received a message from Young Master Zee that you rebelled against him. So, Master sold your mother and your sister off.”
Yoda's expression turned ghastly.
”What?!” He knew that there would be repercussions to his action when he'd provoked Zee in the past, but he had never thought that they would sell his family off!
Now now, it didn't mean he liked his family being here, but at least he knew they wouldn't be worse off.
”Who did they sell them to?” Yoda asked as his voice trembled.
