308 AMBIGUOUS WORDS edited (1/2)

Xiao Tianyao didn't come to visit her again after that morning and even this afternoon. Aunt Hu and Aunt Yu had taken care of her diligently since the time she had passed out.

She didn't even get a chance to step out from her room. Because the Auntie duo would tattle to Elder Dam who had forbidden her from stepping outside for a couple of days 'cause she needed rest.

**Am I being grounded? ** Senja just stared at them blankly, **Fact of the matter is it was Xiao Tianyao who was in my room, but why am I the one who is not allowed to go outside? **

An upset Senja went back to sleep her afternoon away. So, she couldn't go out now, let's see what happens when the sun goes down!

.....

Meanwhile, inside the study room.

Yang Yu was kneeling in front of his Master while Elder Dam and Xiao Tianyao sat on the couch as the rays of the afternoon sun fell on his detached face as his scar added to the aloofness.

”Master, I found them.” Yang Yu said solemnly.

Xiao Tianyao only nodded slightly to acknowledge it. The timing was just right.

Actually, his business regarding Bian and Gooza was still afoot when midway he received news that Wang Yu would return from the Kingdom of Rockstone soon. Thus, he came back.

And now since Yang Yu had accomplished his task, everything would settle at once. But, in this matter he would let Elder Dam be the one to end it.

”Take care of them until the time comes.” Elder Dam ordered Yang Yu with indifference.

Since Xiao Tianyao didn't show any signs of objection, Yang Yu received the order from Elder Dam respectfully and went out of the room.

Elder Dam smiled with satisfaction as he poured liquor into Xiao Tianyao's and his empty glasses.

”Tell me, did you know all about this since the beginning?” Elder Dam offered a toast as he raised his own glass.

Xiao Tianyao received it respectfully and downed it bottoms up.

”No, I only came to know about this recently.” Xiao Tianyao lied smoothly.

As Elder Dam laughed, he thumped the table with gusto, ”It would be very interesting to see them thus.”

.....

Late at night.

Senja opened the door to Xiao Tianyao's room after she had hypnotized one of the guards on her way here. This place simply had too many guards around. Even with her ability, a guard had caught her off guard leaving her with no other choice except to hypnotize him.

The dimly lit room welcomed her with silence sans a soul about.

She was very sure that Xiao Tianyao was inside his room, so she went to check further to the inner room and didn't find him on his bed. She decided heading to the side room and found Xiao Tianyao with closed eyes, resting on a chair. He seemed to be fast asleep.

Senja drew closer and only stopped when she was standing beside him.

”Are you sleeping?” Senja bent to whisper in his ear.
