391 BE CAREFUL (2/2)

Senja furrowed her eyebrows and sensed that there was something that he hid. She couldn't point it out, but she knew that Xiao Jun was trying to hide the fact from Xiao Tianyao.

She bit her lips, considering whether to straight forwardly confront Xiao Jun or found the right time to ask him in private.

However, before she could decide it they had arrived at the end of their track. It was another dead end. But, this time the rock covered with wooden board, so it must be another secret door.

And like what Senja had thought, Xiao Jun moved to the other corner and tugged a rotten rope that was hanging poorly from the ceiling.

With a click sound, the wooden board split into two and each side was moving to the opposite direction which then revealed a room that was totally screwed with dust and dirt were flying in the air and ruins everywhere.

Half of the ceiling had been broken and the blazing afternoon sun invaded their eyes, creating an oddly beautiful array of streaming lights.

This place was like an abandoned huge library with many books and the remaining bookshelves still intact to their original place, suffering greatly from centuries of neglect and attacked.

Under the light of the sunrays, the pillars of the stone emanated a pure white glow.

”This place is beautiful…” Senja mumbled.

”Yes, it was…” Xiao Jun replied, reminiscing the last time he was here.

It had been twelve years old since the last time he was here, his last meeting with Riana before she disappeared like dust.

Senja and Xiao Tianyao followed him while avoiding the ruins of the stone.

”The master's chamber was in the third floor in the second building. Whoever behind this, probably would be there. So, you better be careful.” Xiao Jun warning most likely directed to Senja, because he wouldn't bother to warn his brother since both of them had known very well about the risk.

”Alright…” Senja said, rolling her eyes and making a face behind him because she knew Xiao Jun couldn't see him, but Xiao Tianyao flicked her head.

”What?” Senja snapped at him beside her.

”Be careful.” Xiao Tianyao talked monotonously.

They had walked out from the messy room and had arrived at the open yard that surrounded by many pillars when Xiao Jun suddenly backed away.
