458 WHO IS HE? (1/2)

The days went on and Senja didn't have a chance to meet with Uncle Su, as the man was nowhere to be found, in addition Sheng and Xun were gone as well. She assumed both twins were looking after Uncle Su.

Senja was tired being in her room for long time, so frequently she would visit Qi Xunyi as him always looked after his mother.

Actually it wasn't Qi Xunyi that made Senja came, but it was his mother. Concubine Qi. That woman almost always didn't do anything except staring to the place far away.

However, Senja couldn't help that her interested toward her. She felt there was something more than that.

Most importantly, the things that Senja was very aware now, her sensibility was increasing. She had even tried to hypnotize Yoda one time and it happened smoothly. She just needed to think about that and 'poof' it's happen, Yoda was under her control in a matter of second.

It almost scared her, but she also very excited to know, what else she capable of with this ability of her.

She didn't know what caused this to happen, probably because of the poison? Or, maybe because Senja had been nearly die. But, whatever the reason was, she felt more confidence with this.

Presumably, this was one of the reasons why she was attracted by Qi Xunyi's mother. Something must be happened to her and Qi Xunyi didn't say the truth about this.

Today also Senja was going to Qi Xunyi's place, but unfortunately he wasn't home. Or one could say it was fortunate for Senja that she got a time to meet Concubine Qi without Qi Xunyi's presence.

It was only a teenage girl around fifteen years old who was attending there, seemingly she had got use to take care of the house and Concubine Qi while Qi Xunyi was away.

She greeted Senja and informed her that Qi Xunyi was in the training ground.

”Oh,” Senja mumbled. ”But, can I meet with his mother?”

The girl round eyes widen in surprise. ”I don't know if I can allow you to come.” She was hesitant. ”What is your name?”

”I am Senja…”

”You are Young Miss Senja from the Black Sword Clan?” She seemed surprised with this.

In the other hand Senja felt a prick of bitterness was starting to rise up the moment she mentioned that. She cleared her throat to get rid of it. ”Yes I am.” She smiled wryly as she felt the dry in her mouth.

”Master said you are more than welcome to come in if you wanted to.” She said sheepishly.

”May I come?” Senja asked with smile.

”Of course.” The girl stepped aside to let Senja in.

”Can I see Concubine Qi?” She inquired.

After many times of her visit, she learned that Qi Xunyi's mother only reacted if someone else except her son called her by her title.

The girl escorted her to the backyard where Concubine Qi was sitting on the same couch, her eyes wandered to the place far away.

Senja said 'Thank You' to the girl afterwards she gestured her that she could leave. Senja strolled crossed the yard and stood in front of her.

”Concubine Qi,” She called out her name, but didn't get respond from her. It happened many times before, so Senja repeated again until reluctantly the woman averted her gaze and looked at Senja. ”Can I sit next to you?” Senja asked with low voice that was almost like a whispered, but Concubine Qi nodded anyway and turned back her gaze to stare blankly at the wall in front of her.

Senja sat beside her, she didn't know exactly what she should do with her. Thus, Senja was humming with herself to get rid the awkward moment. Well, she didn't need to do that though, Concubine Qi wouldn't mind if she kept quite.

After another moment past, Senja started to ask some questions that were ignored completely by her.

An idea flashed inside her head, but she didn't know if it would work or not, more importantly the risked was high. She didn't want to try something that she didn't sure about, but Senja didn't see any way possible for her.

So, as gentle as possible Senja took her hand and placed it on her laps. Concubine Qi averted her gazed and looked down at her hand that was wrapped in Senja's hand.

Senja stroked the back of her hand as she gulped hard, nervousness engulfed her. In the next second, she wanted to give up the idea on her head, but it didn't quite right. She didn't know when she would get the opportunity to be alone with her.

Because every time Qi Xunyi was around, he was very protective over his mother and Senja couldn't have risk to reveal her secret about the mind controller things while Xiao Jun even didn't tell him about Luna.

Xiao Jun must have his own reason to not telling him about this fact. Hence Senja wouldn't start it either.

With that thought, the possibility that she had a chance like this again was very slim, she sighed a deep breath to calm her heart that started to hammer her nerves.

”You can do it…” Senja closed her eyes and whispered to herself softly. ”Your ability is progressing, you are much better than before…” She kept saying that to herself. ”Let get over this quickly…”

And then the determination emitted from her eyes when she opened it.

She stroked her palm in lovingly and made a circled on the back of her hand. ”This ticklish isn't it?” Senja asked childishly to get her attention. ”How about this?” Senja turned her hand and tickle her palm.

Concubine Qi raised her head and looked at Senja who was still tickling her hand, the corner of her lips rose a little bit. She nodded slightly and at the moment of time, Senja took the opportunity when she looked at her.

Senja was staring right back at her, looked deeply into those beautiful dead eyes. Concubine Qi's eyes were definitely very beautiful, despite lack of liveliness and those beautiful eyes were hiding something that Senja couldn't understand.
