422 WHO IS YE BAI? (1/2)

Xiao Tianyao gritted his teeth as his expression becoming more solemn, but also more dangerous. The mocking tone in Gong Xu's voice was supposed to send him on edge, yet he remained calm as nothing was happening.

In spite of that, Senja could see his eyes harden and his heart hammering against her back rapidly, as if there were storm that Xiao Tianyao was trying to suppress.

Without any words from Xiao Tianyao, Gong Xu and Senja departed.

Yang Yu hastily stepped forward and asked his master carefully. ”Master, should this subordinate…”

”Let him.” Xiao Tianyao interjected Yang Yu's words mid- sentence.

Upon hearing his master rejection, Yang Yu stepped back.

”Let's go.” Xiao Jun said, he had mounted his dark grey horse and led the way.

Xiao Tianyao and the rest followed after him. His gazed lingered a bit longer on his brother's back than it should be.

It was night when they reached the first village, they booked rooms for them to stay over and called the physician in the village to check on Senja.

This physician was very old with grey hairs perched on his head, but he was also very nice when he said Senja needed to take a rest for at least a day before they could continue their journey.

Therefore, Xiao Tianyao and Xiao Jun decided to delay their journey a day for Senja's sake.

Now, Senja was lying on the bed with bandages leg while Xiao Tianyao was nowhere to be seen.
