501 BE CAREFUL ON YOUR WAY (1/2)

After the thrill to be able to come back, Senja realized two things.

First, her hair was still the color of purple and second, she lost her ability. She didn't mind the former, but the later slightly bother her.

Her original plan was required her to use her ability to defeat Modama, but now since it has gone, she needed to rearrange her plan again.

The next morning, Senja had awake even before the sun kissed the horizon and walked into Qianru's room in her simple black clothes and sword hung on her waist.

The girl was still fast asleep and didn't even aware there was someone coming inside her room, only after Senja shook her shoulder to wake her up, she groaned and opened her eyes with alert.

”Senja?” She asked with puzzled expression. ”What are you doing?” She looked around her, but didn't find anything that could be possible as a threat.

Senja did not tell her about her departure last night, but because of the realization about her ability which has gone, she needed to go earlier than her plan to arrange something.

”Listen.” Senja put her forefinger in front of her lips to ask her to not make a noise in the early morning. ”I need to go to the Q city.” Senja divulged her destination.

She needed to tell her about her departure because she didn't want Qianru to freak out when she couldn't find her and made unnecessary commotion to find her.

”Senja!” Her eyes widened in shock. ”Q city is not safe now, the first city that they will take down is Q city!” Qianru warned her anxiously upon hearing her plan.

Senja had predicted before that Qianru would object her idea, hence she had prepared the answer that could make her agree no matter what.

”There is traitor among Xiao Jun's confidants and I have a way to find it out. If the traitor still there and no one aware about this, the result of this war will be differ from our expectation.”

”Traitor?” Qianru evidently shocked by the news, her eyes widened in disbelief.

”Yes, that's why I need to go.” Senja took her hands and squeezed them to reassure her. ”I will be fine, moreover it is their place that I will be heading.”

Qianru still felt unease to let Senja go by herself, but the weight of her words before about the traitor was too heavy to be ignored.

And for Senja, she didn't need her ability to assess the anxiety and worry in Qianru's heart, it was as clear as day to see.

Finally after contemplating for awhile, she nodded reluctantly, ”You have to be careful Senja.” She added.

”I will.” Senja said. ”I want you to do something for me.”

”What is it?”

”First, don't mention about my departure in your letter to Xiao Jun and second… ” Senja leaned on her and whispered something into her ear.

Furrowed on Qianru's brows showed her confusion. ”Why I should do that?”

”For the safety of all people here.” Senja shook her hands lightly, ”Promise me you will do that. This is very important.”

Qianru hesitant, but she nodded in the end. ”I promise.”

”Keep your promise Qianru. It's about life and death.”

Qianru nodded to reassure Senja, indicating that she would do as she told. ”I will.”

”Then, it's time for me to leave.”

Both of them hugged each other warmly before Senja stepped out of the room. She was wearing her straw hat to cover her purple hair and black clothes with sword hung on her waist, she looked like a wanderer.
