366 HE COMEBACK (1/2)

The next day, Senja brought Xiao Mugi to the training ground where she met Sheng days ago.

The little boy was exciting as he almost like jumping along the way. He was always under Qianru's care and Qianru wasn't the type that liked to see something vigorous like that and would be freak out if she saw him injured.

Hence, since Xiao Mugi was always surrounded by female maidservant and Xiao Tianyao wasn't there to take care of him. He was kind of lack of this aspect.

The moment, he knew that Senja wanted to go to the training ground, he insisted to come along with her. But, Qianru's edginess stopped him.

”No, Mugi, they are grown men. How if accidentally you get hurt?” Qianru tried to reasoning with him.

But, Xiao Mugi ran toward Senja and grabbed her hand tightly. ”She will take care of me, aunty Qianru.”

Senja looked down at Xiao Mugi who was clinging onto her. Actually, she didn't want to involve in this little argument, she had nothing to do with it and just wanted to get out from the house so she could meet Leader Jingguo.

Yet, before she could step out from the threshold this little fellow decided cling onto her.

”Senja has urgent matter Mugi, you can't come with her.” Qianru tried to persuade him. ”Right Senja?” She said, looking for support from her.

Senja didn't immediately answer. She raised her brows questioningly toward Xiao Mugi, the next second she crouched down in front of the little boy as she spoke in low voice that only both of them could hear.

”So, who is more beautiful now?” Senja asked with mirth dancing in her eyes.

Xiao Mugi looked at her incredulously. ”You are childish.”

”Yes, I am.” Senja quipped. ”So?” She wriggled her eyebrows childishly that made Xiao Mugi's annoyed.

”You.” He said succinctly.

”Me what?”

”You are beautiful.” Finally he said it after a few times taking a deep breath.

Senja elated when she looked at his defeated expression. ”Good boy.” She said as she tousled his head and stood up. She looked at Qianru with assuring smile as she calm her. ”It's okay, I will be on the save side. Moreover, I will just talk for a while with Leader Jingguo.”

”But…” Qianru still worried.

”It will be fine, I will look after him.”

”It was dangerous there.”

Senja chuckled when she heard this. ”Qianru, I can promised you that I will not put him in the middle of training ground.”

Qianru also smiled when she heard this. Even though she didn't fully convinced and still felt slightly worry, in the end she agreed.

”Okay, let's go now.” Senja waved her hand toward Xiao Mugi so the boy would follow her.

Both of them walked hand in hand toward the training ground, once they were near Senja warned him again.

”Don't moving around recklessly. Got it?”

”Got it.” Xiao Mugi nodded seriously.

It was the first time Xiao Mugi watching people training swordsmanship. Even though the Crescent Moon had their own training ground, but it was placed in Xiao Tianyao's mansion, while Xiao Mugi lived with Qianru in Xiao Jun's mansion.

Considering that Xiao Jun mostly deal with the problem through discussion or strategy, hence he didn't have his own troops like Xiao Tianyao. So, it was understandable if this was the first time Xiao Mugi saw this kind of training.

His eyes were glistening with excitement as he followed Senja closely. The deafening sounds from clashing sword, seemed interested him.

Senja hold his hand tighter, when she saw Xiao Mugi tried to get closer to the training ground.

**Hhh, like father like son…** Senja thought.

She was standing on the higher ground at the side, scanned the whole field to look for Leader Jingguo. But, failed to find him, instead she saw Yoda jogged from the right side. He waved his hand at Senja.

”Who are you looking for?” Yoda asked when he arrived in front of Senja.

He and the other two guards were injured because of the battle in the border line, but their injuries didn't involve a poison like what Senja had suffered, so they could recover faster than her.

”I am looking for Leader Jingguo. Do you see him?” Senja tried to keep Xiao Mugi on the place, but the boy wanted the otherwise.

”Oh, Leader Jingguo was going out, probably in the village nearby.” Yoda replied. ”You need something with him?”

”Yes, I have some question. But, if he is not here, then I will come back tomorrow.”

”Alright.”

”We will go now?” Xiao Mugi chimed in. ”We just came.” He protested.

”Is he…” Yoda trailed off his words.
