473 THE PALACE (1/2)
”Master is leading the three hundred people along with Prince Xiao Jun to infiltrate the palace gates.” Yang Yu answered, but there was a slightly fear in his voice that didn't go unnoticed by Senja.
”So, why are you here? Why don't you go with him?” Senja didn't understand, as Xiao Tianyao's right hand man it was only right to be with him at this critical moment, right?
”Master told this subordinate to stay and make sure to keep the Azura's backup army outside of the city's gates.” Yang Yu clenched his fist.
From the reaction that Yang Yu was showing, it was very clear that he didn't like to be kept behind. He wanted to fight along Xiao Tianyao. But, to stay and held them back was an important task too.
”So, they are in the palace now?” Yun interjected. Stepped forward and allowed Yang Yu to stand up.
Yang Yu stood up and nodded. ”Yes,” He emphasized. ”Master and Prince Xiao Jun have made it into the palace.”
Senja didn't know what to say about this piece of news, it was a good thing that they succeeded to infiltrate the palace, however there was something in Yang Yu's voice which still laced with anxiousness.
”Let's go.” Yun didn't bother to know more about the progress of the news as his only purpose was to bring Senja to meet Xiao Tianyao, as for Senja, she brushed aside her bad feeling and followed Yun.
”No, Young Miss Senja, you can't come.” Yang Yu prevented Senja advance move frantically. ”It was too dangerous there.”
Senja halted her step and looked at him. ”There is something you want to tell me?” She asked him straight to the point. ”What actually happen there?”
”That is… The palace has turned into a battlefield. Young Miss Senja can be injured accidentally.” Yang Yu stuttered and this made Senja grew more curious about what actually happened.
”Don't you dare lie to me!” Senja snapped. She had had enough with Yang Yu's jitters state, she could sense it.
”Young Miss Senja…” Yang Yu started to plea, but Senja cut him off.
”It has taken a week for them to infiltrate the palace.” She remarked. ”If you are strong enough to keep Azura's troops outside…” Senja pointed at the direction of the city's gates. ”…Then why it took so long for you to infiltrate the palace?”
Yang Yu's shoulder slumped when he couldn't avoid the answer that Senja wanted. ”Because Modama's Troops are inside the palace, they are the last piece of The Emperor Xiao Zi's defence.”
Yang Yu knew about Senja predicament when she was under Modama's hypnosis and his Master wouldn't be ecstatic to see her there. He thought it would be better if Senja stay away from the battlefield, regardless the reason.
”Modama's troops?” Senja was squinted her eyes, waiting for Yang Yu to elaborate further, but it was Yun who told her about it.
”You had met them in the Mountain Sui Sword Sect.” Yun said. ”Those teenagers with lack of emotion, right?” He directed his eyes at Yang Yu with this question.
”Yes. Those teenagers.” Yang Yu answered coldly. ”Modama used those teenagers to fight again us till die. Many of our people couldn't bring themselves to kill them, as they are not aware about what they do.”
