Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 269: People at home

In the end, they all came to the conclusion that this thing should be reported to the Emperor. Hence, the next day Xiao Wang Wei was to go back to the Capital City together with Leader Mo and Sana.

Tonight, would be the last night they'd stay over before they would all go on towards separate destinations early the next morning.

"So, did you tell my grandfather about my ability?"

Senja's question was the first thing Xiao Tianyao heard when he closed the door. He found the girl sitting on the table with her feet dangling. Strangely, this scene didn't irritate Xiao Tianyaoit seemed like he had gotten used to this kind of surprise.

"No." Xiao Tianyao replied as he too off his outer robe. But, Senja remained unabashed.

**Just how bold is this girl?!**

"So, I assume you won't let me tell him either, right?"

Xiao Tianyao strode across the room coming closer to her. Once he stood in front of her, he lifted her from her hips and swiftly put her on the chair. "Can't you sit in the proper place?" Xiao Tianyao grumbled as he pulled a chair beside Senja and elegantly sat down.

"I want to ask you something." Xiao Tianyao turned serious.

"You can ask me anything." Senja replied happily.

"What did you mean when you said you can't go home unless you find Yun?" He recalled the conversation between Senja and Xiao Jun he'd eavesdropped.

Senja cocked her head. "Once I return home, with grandfather's personality, do you think I will be able to roam around freely?" Senja asked him back with a straight face, deftly evading the real answer.

"You can always sneak around." He lightly suggested.

Senja flicked her finger enthusiastically. "Hm, you get the point!" She leaned her body forward. "And since you would also be there, of course you will help me, right?"

"Why do you think I will help you?"

"Because you promised me to help me find Yun." Senja reminded him sullenly.

"Did you get the information about Xiao Wang Wei that I had asked you for?"

Senja shook her head. "Hmm No."

Xiao Tianyao smiled playfully. "I promised to help you find Yun only if you obtained the information about Xiao Wang Wei's schemes in Q City. Since you got nothing, this deal doesn't exist either."

"You are so petty" Senja hissed, visibly irritated.

"A Deal is a deal." Xiao Tianyao shrugged.

Xiao Jun had been looking for his Master Ye Xiu since the time he had gone missing a year ago, alongside Senja's disappearance. Just like her, he was also gone without a trace. Now that Senja had returned, it was only a matter of time before Ye Xiu would return too, if he were still alive that is.

"Go back to your room, tomorrow we will leave early." Xiao Tianyo spoke as he stood up.

"Wait! Tell me, what's my home like?" Senja held his sleeve and urged him to sit down. Xiao Tianyao complied.

She knew that she had two stepsisters and a stepmother who didn't have a good relationship with the real Senja. Her grandfather had told her about this so, she wanted to understand what the situation was like over there.

"You don't get along with your mother's sister and your stepsisters. Your grandfather is an exception." Xiao Tianyao replied frankly.

"I heard they've mistreated me in the past?"

"Something liked that."

"It seems like I was an object for bullying."

Xiao Tianyao chuckled. "I don't know the details, but they won't easily bully you now.now that your attitude is like this."

"Well, if they have enough courage to bully me, I will show them what a real bully is!" Senja declared haughtily.

Xiao Tianyao laughed softly at Senja's smugness. She looked like a little cat that hardly showed off its claws.
