523 THE LONGING IN HIS VOICE (1/2)

Having Elder Zhong as traitor was already disastrous enough, added that to another random person who was still roaming around freely without anyone notice them.

”Possible.” Gong Xu nodded. ”That's how he worked all this time.” Somehow he sounded distant and unease when he talked about Modama, he was his father after all.

The warm wind blew from the direction of the Q city as the profound silent engulfed both of them. As senja raised her head and saw a little bird chirp around in the vast sky, she remembered information from the past.

It said that the two elders died because of poison. The person who had poisoned them must be the same person who had given the elixir to those children to keep them insane.

What a cruel method to use children in this dreadful situation.

”You must have a way to cure them right?” Senja nudged Gong Xu before she talked, so he would read her lips.

”I have.” He replied immediately.

”Help us then.”

The wrinkled in his brows gave Senja a sign that it wouldn't easy to ask for his help.

”Why I should help them?”

”Why you don't want to help them?”

Senja answered his question with another question that made him groaned in exasperation.

”Don't you see? I have become deaf because of him. This is enough reason for me to not help him.”

”I asked you to help those children, not him.”

Ignoring Senja's statement, his gaze turned cold when he added. ”Not to mention about what he had done to my sister.”

”That was your father doing and you know that clearly. You were there and you couldn't stop your father too. You are at fault as well.” Senja snapped icily at him.

Xiao Tianyao had gone through a lot of hardship and blamed himself enough about this matter, thus she wouldn't let anyone blame him more than he had done to himself. Not even Gong Xu, despite her intention to seek his help.

The eyes that gazed back at Senja were indescribable and without word, Gong Xu stood up and started to walk down the hill with a pocket of herb plants hanging loosely on his belt.

The afternoon sun shone brightly casting a long shadow from Gong Xu retreating figure, at that point, Senja knew that her approach was failed. Gong Xu was overly sensitive regarding the matter about Luna, he seemed didn't want have anything to do with his past life.

Looking at how he had secluded himself in this Q city all this time and didn't bother with power struggles that involved his father, showed how much he resented his past life.

But in contrary, the fact that he was also there when they reached the Mountain Sui Sword Sect to save those children reveal another side of him that still cared about those children, but not cared enough to get himself involved.

Senja lifted her head and gazed the clear sky above, apparently she needed to think another way to make Gong Xu helped willingly.
