Chapter 401: Calm down!
Chapter 401: Calm down!
"Where is him?" Senja could feel her heart hammering inside her chest.
Xiao Jun started to look around him, but as far as they could see was the dense and gloomy trees in front of them and the waterfall behind them
"Is Is it possible they caught him?" Senja stammered by the possibility.
Subconsciously, Senja was about to storm inside the forest again before Xiao Jun pulled her back by holding her waist.
"Calm down first!" He hissed.
Senja swatted his hand and sheeted. "Calm down!? How can I calm down if I don't know how is his condition now!?"
She was livid. Xiao Tianyao could be fall behind and was in danger, and here Xiao Jun asked her to calm down?
Senja shook her head. "I don't want to calm down! I want to find him!"
The dread feeling that she felt when Xiao Tianyao was being poisoned, gnawed her heart, her fear came relentlessly.
If Xiao Tianyao got a gash or even a stab from those poisonous scythes, then he would be in great danger by now. She had seen it how quick that poison reacted more than once.
Xiao Tianyao was considered lucky the last time.
She didn't know if Xiao Tianyao was hurt or not, there were more than dozens people on site and if he was being poisoned again and she needed to be calm down first before they looked for Xiao Tianyao, it would be too late.
"Listen to me first!" Xiao Jun shouted back at her and grabbed her hand tightly.
This time Senja didn't try to release her grip from his strong hold, but she simply stared back at him and snarled. "Xiao Jun, don't tempt me to hypnotize you"
That was a warning from her, immediately Xiao Jun let go of her hand and looked at her prudently.
"But you still need to listen to me!" Xiao Jun stopped her again, blocking her path from the forest where the last time Senja saw him.
"Damn you!" Senja cursed out of frustration with Xiao Jun's reaction. "Your brother is out there and here you are trying to talk me down!" She balled her fist until her knuckled turned white.
"He is fine!" Xiao Jun roared finally. This purple girl was getting in his nerves. He never raised his voice against a woman and Senja left him speechless by her stubbornness. "If something happened to him, he would send me a signal!"
"Maybe he is seriously injured and can't send you anything!" Senja bit back.
"He isn't that weak!" Xiao Jun retorted, for now he had lost his cool, "I know my brother." He said firmly.
Senja closed her eyes, trying to keep her frustration at bay. "So, I assumed you know where Tianyao now?" There was a mocking tone in her voice that she didn't mean it.
"He will be at our meeting point." Xiao Jun explained and Senja stared at him, asking for him to elaborate it. "I changed direction when they chased after us. Tianyao must be stay in the same route."
There was a deep silence when Xiao Jun finished his brief explanation. Senja tried to analyze his word, but he didn't lie, actually he was quite sure with that.
"So, where is your meeting point?" Senja asked, finally relented.
"Come." Xiao Jun gestured her to follow him.
Reluctantly Senja followed him, the other direction from the forest. She kept looking back, hoped he would appear from the trees. "You better be right" Senja mumbled.
"I am right." Xiao Jun said firmly and Senja pursed her lips by his arrogant answer.
The trip from the waterfall to their meeting point was far enough and twenty minutes of their walking was filled with silence.
Xiao Jun was walking in front of her, sometime his eyes wandered around to make sure there was no one around while Senja was walking a few step away behind him.
Senja was too upset and worry to even remember that she had something to ask Xiao Jun. But, when she had slightly calm, she cracked the stillness.
"Xiao Jun, I want to ask you something about Tianyao." Senja started and Xiao Jun turned to look at her.
"I know, you will ask about this." He replied calmly.
