479 FEEL NOTHING (1/2)

Senja's feet rooted on the ground as she felt her blood running cold, she was petrified with frozen brain while her eyes fixated at the dead body on the ground.

Her mind screaming that it was impossible. This wouldn't have happened to Uncle Su.

Eventually Senja shook her head to scatter the image in front of her. She shook her head again and again until reality hit her hard.

This wasn't a dream or an image, it was real and Uncle Su was dead. Modama killed her right before her eyes.

This was the second time Senja watched with her own eyes the death of two people who were close to her. Modama had done the same thing like how Wang Yu had killed Elder Dam.

All of her senses were deadened when her body started to tremble and finally her legs gave away and let her fell to the cold floor.

How could this thing happen? This couldn't be happen to Uncle Su, right?

Gradually she felt someone wrapped his arms around her body and helped her to stand up again, he whispered something incoherent into Senja's ear and when she lifted her head, Xiao Tianyao's concern face came to her sight.

”Senja, get yourself together.” Xiao Tianyao said repeatedly. ”We need to get out from here.”

Senja found herself only staring at him.

”Senja, do you hear me? Get yourself together.”

”Uncle Su is dead…” A whimpered escaped her lips as she felt tears started to fall.

”Yes, he is.” Xiao Tianyao said, clenching his jaw tightly. ”And we need to get away from here.” He wiped away the tears from Senja's cheeks.

When Senja didn't say anything, Xiao Tianyao shook her body lightly. ”We need to get out from here.”

With that, she heaved a deep breath before nodded. ”Alright…” Senja weakly said.

In front of her, Uncle Su's death body was lying on the floor with Xiao Jun beside him.

Xiao Jun closed Uncle Su's shock eyes before took off his outer robe and covered him from everyone's view. At least, it was the last thing he could do. His whole body trembled with anger.

”Long time no see…” Modama drawled, cleaning his sword with clothes of one the unconscious teenagers on the floor. ”Don't take it to heart. The three of you deemed to death anyway.”

Now, inside the palace hall, the lives of seven people would be determined. Their option was only; killed or be killed, and it was always like that.

Senja gave another nod to Xiao Tianyao, told him silently that she was alright now, tightening the sword in her hands with new determination.
