Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 364: Conversation with xiao mugi

"Who said I will be the one who will kill him?" Wuxing retorted her word. "You will do it for me" He gave a sinister smile on her.

"You are out of your mind!"

Concubine Qi tried to stand up and ran away, but the white hair man pushed her down roughly as Concubine Qi fell on her back.

She whimpered because her elbow was skidding on the harsh ground, it would leave a bruised for sure.

When the white hair man held Concubine Qi's chin and the anger on her eyes were shifted. Out of the blue the mist from before was cascading again and made Senja's vision was turning blurry.

Senja closed her eyes as she felt the same sensation. The gravity seemed didn't work on her when she felt her soul flew away.

Senja was opening her eyes by the piercing screamed from someone near her. It was Concubine Qi who was screaming on the top of her lung. She startled, because as soon as she opened her eyes, the terror on Concubine Qi's expression was very clear to see.

Her mouth gapped opened as she shouted at Senja, she grabbed her tightly, until she felt her hands were turning numb by the sensation.

The teenage girl dashed toward the backyard when she heard Concubine Qi's voice.

"What happened?" Her panic voice was the third things that Senja's realize before she wriggled her hand from Concubine Qi tight gripped. "What happened to her?" Her voice sounded like she wanted to cry.

Senja glanced at her and noted that she was too terrified to handle this as the girl stood petrified on the side and only kept repeating the same question over and over again.

The girl small figure started shaking and she sucked her tears.

Senja didn't have a choice except to calm Concubine Qi down. She grabbed her hand again and put the necessary pressure on it.

Gradually, Concubine Qi's screaming was ceased down.

"Come here," Senja beckoned the girl. "Help me to bring her inside." She said.

The scared girl looked at Senja blankly and didn't any move to help her, even when Senja had gotten up from the bench she still petrified.

"Hey! Help me!" Senja groaned because she wasn't possible to carry the grown up woman by herself.

Only after Senja called her for the third time, she seemed to regain her consciousness as she approached Senja hastily and helped her by supporting Concubine Qi another side of her body.

Together, both of them made their way inside the house and walked slowly along the hallway before they could lay her down on her own room.

Breathlessly Senja stretched her body, it was a good thing that her wounded has healed, or else it would start bleeding again.

"Wh what happened?" The girl stammered. Still couldn't get rid of the shrilled screamed from earlier.

Senja feign innocent when she answered her. "I don't know, suddenly she had an outburst. I didn't do anything..."

Concubine Qi was laid on her bed while staring at the ceiling, she murmured something incoherent as a tears roll down on the corner of her eyes.

Senja sat down on the nearest wooden chair and recalled what she had saw from Concubine Qi's memories.

She was sure that was a fragment from the last thing that had happened before she lost her mind. Now after she saw that all there were two things that she could conclude.

First, it was most likely Qi Xunyi wasn't the last heir of the Kingdom of Xinghe Dynasty. The way Concubine Qi talked to him and with the mentioned of 'your father' it proved that Wuxing was one of The Emperor of Xinghe's son. It seemed not only Misty Cloud Clan had succeeded to ruin that whole Kingdom but they also got an alliance.

**However, where was Wuxing now? After he allied himself with Misty Cloud Clan, he should be alive by now, right?** Senja kept staring at Concubine Qi who was laying on the bed.

The girl had tucked her in and lulled her to sleep.

Second, the actuality that Concubine Qi was the one who had killed the Emperor of Xinghe under hypnosis was irrefutable fact.

The questions that left from it was **Who was the white hair man?** He was capable enough to use his ability to force Concubine Qi to kill the Emperor. The mind controller people was supposed to be dead and gone years ago

**But, wait** Senja lowered her head as she was thinking about Luna. **If the mind controller had been dead, Luna supposed to be didn't exist in the first place**

The only possibility, there was another mind controller who has still survived.

That thought made Senja cringed and the uncomfortable feeling churned her stomach. Another mind controller still survived somewhere. It didn't sound good since he used the ability to kill people.

And there was something that the white hair man concerned Black Sword Clan.

However, Senja shook her head, she didn't want to think about that for now or maybe latter she didn't know, because that words brought unbearable pain.

The girl was approaching Senja while she was staring her fingers blankly.

"I have asked someone to inform Master Qi Xunyi, he must be on the way home now." The girl informed Senja politely. "I will get you some drink, you look pale."

"Thank you." Senja gave her a smile that didn't reach her worry eyes.

The girl smiled back at her before she was gone outside the room.

It didn't take her so long to come back and brought a glass of water for Senja. She received it and gulped it down. The fresh liquid that cascading onto her throat felt good, it liked washed away a little bit of her worry.

A few minutes later Qi Xunyi appeared. He was panting with sweat on his forehead. He directly rushed to the bed where Concubine Qi had been sleeping.

"What happened?" His eyes wondered at the girl who had stood not far away from him.

Senja stood up from her seat and approached him as well. "Concubine Qi suddenly has an outburst." She said simply.

"Outburst?" Qi Xunyi knitted his brows when he heard Senja's information. "It had been long time since the last time she had an outburst." He mumbled.

"I am sorry." Senja said suddenly. "I was with her when it happened."

"No, no don't say that Senja," He waved his hand hastily. "I am the one who have to apologize, it is very rare for my mother to have an outburst, and you just happen came in the wrong time." He said humbly.

Qi Xunyi's word made Senja slightly felt guilty, it was indeed her who had triggered the woman's memories. So, when Senja apologize, she was very sincere with it. But, Qi Xunyi didn't need to know about that.

Senja wanted to ask about the things regarding Xinghe, but she knew that it wasn't the right time to ask him anything. Thus, when Qi Xunyi dismissed the little girl, Senja also excused herself.

It has been ten days and she wondered when Xiao Tianyao would arrive at the Greenhill Mountain.

........

Today was the twelve days since Senja came to the Greenhill Mountain, but Xiao Tianyao still not yet arrived.

Senja asked Qianru how many days it took for Xiao Tianyao to reach here and the answer didn't satisfy her at all. She said that Xiao Tianyao would need around fifteen day to travel from L City. It was only mean she had to wait for him for another three days.

She sighed with this.

"Why are you kept asking my father?" Xiao Mugi asked in dissatisfaction.

It was afternoon when Senja was sitting inside the small pavilion a little bit far from the village. She found this place accidentally when she was roaming around to get rid of her boredom.

"What are you doing here?" Senja raised her eyebrows in surprised and was looking around her to find someone that accompany the little boy.

Seeing this Xiao Mugi huffed as he sat on the bench opposite Senja. "I came alone." He said.

"Oh," That was the only replied from Senja before she laid her head back to the table in front of her, put her arms as a pillow and closed her eyes.

"I was asking you. Why are you kept asking about my father?" Xiao Mugi insisted to get the answer from Senja. He pushed her short body crossed the table and nudge Senja arms.

"What?" Senja groaned because her alone time was disturbed.

Xiao Mugi and Qianru had been evacuated a month before Senja's arrival. It seemed the situation in the Capital City hadn't conducive anymore for them to stay.

"I was asking you. Don't sleep." Xiao Mugi nudged her again.

"Why are you following me?" Senja finally raised her head as she stared straight to the little boy eyes in front of her.

She knew that the boy still curious with her hair, many time Senja caught him staring at her hair, fascinated, if Senja could put it into a word. She found this thing was funny, because Xiao Mugi was clearly said he didn't like her and almost always put a pout on her lips every time he was around Senja.

"I am not following you." He denied. Widen his eyes to show how serious he was.

"Alright, alright" Senja waved her hand and laid her face downward on the table again.

"You didn't answer my question." This time Xiao Mugi didn't nudge her arms, but he pulled a strand of Senja's hair.
