403 DEJAVU (1/2)

”So, it was him?” Her tone was more like an affirmation than a question.

However, Xiao Jun refused to answer it. ”The thing was more complicated than that.” He dodged the real question.

”Uncle Su wasn't in Greenhill Mountain.” She informed them. ”He had left with the twins before Xiao Tianyao arrived.”

”I know.” Xiao Jun nodded. ”He carried out my orders.”

”What order?” Senja couldn't help, but curious with Xiao Jun's plan.

”Actually he was here.”

Senja furrowed her eyebrows. ”He was the one who send the firework sign?” She guessed and Xiao Jun nodded.

There was another uncomfortable silence spread between the two as they resumed walking the path to the meeting point.

”What is your actual plan?” Senja asked again. Xiao Jun and Xiao Tianyao didn't share their plan with her and left her in the dark with all those worry. It pissed her.

”Lure Modama and his troops out so my people could proceed to track down the remaining children that Misty Cloud Clan had kidnapped.” Xiao Jun explained.

”So, that firework was a sign that they had found the children or they had rescued them?”

”They had rescued them.”

Senja nodded with that and they remained silence once again. She didn't know what she felt about Xiao Jun involvement with Luna's death. After all, Luna had an ill intention toward his younger brother and almost destroyed both of them based on Qianru's story, so Luna reaped what she sowed.

Yet, it wasn't fair for Xiao Tianyao. He was misled by his own memories.
