Chapter 522: Another person

Senja was rising a small red silk pouch for Gong Xu to see that contained the heirloom of Black Sword Clan in front of his eyes while he looked the item in Senja's hand questioningly.

"Can we talk in somewhere less crowded?" Senja looked around her, with this many people presence, no matter how low they talk, it would still be within an ear shot. Not to mention they were staring at Senja distinctly.

"This way." Reluctantly Gong Xu waved at her to follow him out of the tent.

They walked further away, near the outermost of the sanctuary, went up the hill.

"Are you planning to kill me here?" Senja grumbled when she felt her legs were getting cramp. "It is too far!"

But, of course Gong Xu couldn't hear her complain as he walked two steps in front of her.

Pick up her pace, Senja tapped his shoulder. Frowning, she vocalized her sentence word by word. "Where are we going? It is too far! Are you still holding a grudge toward Xiao Tianyao and planning to kill me?"

"Ridiculous." Gong Xu swatted Senja's hand from his shoulder. "I need to pick herbal plant up there." He pointed at the top of the hill.

Senja kept grumbling behind Gong Xu as they climbed their way up to the hill and only stopped when Gong Xu had reached the destined place where the herbal plant grew.

"So what is that?" Gong Xu crossed his arms and nodded at the pouch that hanging on Senja's waist.

"This is the Black Sword Clan's heirloom, I need to give this to the right owner. So, where is Senja?"

Gong Xu gave some thought before he guessed. "The token of Shadow Guard?"

"Hmm, yes."

"Senja didn't need that. She didn't need such kind of power, you can have it for yourself." Gong Xu drifted his attention from Senja and started to pluck a yellow leaves from the bushes near him.

Senja frowned by his reaction, then he tapped his shoulder again. "It is not you who decide."

"She is with me now." He said firmly. "She doesn't want to involve in any of that again."

"Like I said, it is not you who decide something for her." Senja was more stubborn than him in term of determination. "Moreover I have something to discuss with you and this is important."

"In that case, you need to wait until I am finished. Sit there." Gong Xu pointed at the place under lush tree.

Because picking up the herbal leaves required his focus, he wouldn't be able to do multitask by talking with Senja at the same time.

Therefore, Senja obediently sat there while hugging her legs and rested her chin atop of her arms, looking at the beautiful scenery of this hill that was akin to tea plantation with many kinds of plants around her. The wind blew gently, playing with Senja's purple hairs, the strands flew above her head like dancing.

It took thirty minutes before Gong Xu was done with his task and approached Senja that almost fell asleep.

"So, what now?"

With a big yawn, Senja stretched her body before replied him. "I need your help."

"What help?"

"You do know about the children that Xiao Jun had saved at the Mountain Sui Sword Sect, right?"

Gong Xu sat beside Senja and looked at her, asking for explanation silently.

"So, you must have known what had happened to them."

"What happened to them?" Gong Xu asked with straight face.

Senja frowned, confused with Gong Xu reaction. Did he really not know about the children condition or he just pretended to be stupid?

"Those children soulless, they don't have any emotion. Like those teenager that under Modama's control." Senja said impatiently.

"Impossible." Gong Xu denied it. His brows locked together as his face taut with bewilderment. "You had taken away those children more than a month, the effect of the elixir that he gave them should have worn off by now."

Senja looked at him in disbelief, searching for a sign of lie. It was quite frustrated when she needed to guess other people true intention. When she had her ability it was as easy as snapping a finger. But now she needed to concentrate and looked for a tiny sign of dishonesty, but still couldn't figure it out whether he lied or not.

"Really?" Senja asked skeptically. "Because they didn't return to normal, if anything, they became even worse."

"That's weird." Gong Xu averted his eyes from Senja as he looked at the far away sanctuary, deep in thought. "It's impossible, except there is someone who still continues to give them the elixir."

With that being said, another dreadful fact emerged from her mind. "If there is someone else who still give them the elixir, then there is possibility Modama had planted more than one person inside."
