301 GONG XU! edited (2/2)
Senja nodded her head in dismay. ”Perhaps…” She drawled. Her mind was wandering to the letters that Senja had left behind.
”But there is no telling that the Gong Xu who killed Luna is the same Gong Xu that is in your mind.” Utara eased the tensed atmosphere.
”Hmm…” Senja contemplated on the likelihood.
**If Gong Xu was the same person that the former Senja had hid, then, it meant Senja had been hiding Luna's killer!?** This realization hit her hard. **That was why, Xiao Tianyao treated me the way he did before… Does he still suspect me? **
Senja's mind was spinning at Mach speed! If Xiao Tianyao could agree to get engaged with Rindy, then wouldn't he be able to do the same to her? Had Xiao Tianyao gotten closer to Senja with an ulterior motive?
Senja was determined to enter the hidden room once again, perhaps she could find something there.
And that was exactly what she did.
On the following afternoon, Senja visited the library after having rejected her grandfather's invitation for lunch, yet again.
Elder Dam didn't seem to mind as he knew of Senja's fondness for the library and let her be.
Once again Senja stepped inside the hidden room. This time, Senja braved it and closed the door behind her. She walked deeper and found out that this place was actually a tunnel that connected the Black Sword Clan Mansion to a narrow street in the town.
It exited into a deserted yard of a rundown house. After her short expedition, she retraced her steps and locked the door again. She slumped behind it, pulling her knees to her chest and held her aching head with both hands.
She tried to come to terms with things, especially with the recent complicated fact she had uncovered.
If the Gong Xu who had killed Luna was the same person Senja had hid inside this room….. from what Xiao Jun had told her before, it was likely that the disappearance of Senja and Yun were related somehow, because both had disappeared at the same time...…
….. if Senja could locate the other Senja then could she find… Yun? But, somewhere in the midst of all this there was this guy named Gong Xu who had killed Xiao Tianyao's wife, there was a high possibility that Senja was with him.
”This thing is only getting worse.” Senja grumbled.
