Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 518: North is utara

The sun had risen and the carriage that would bring Senja out of the military camp had been prepared and was ready on the front of Xiao Tianyao's tent.

However, Senja didn't see Xiao Tianyao anywhere, he didn't even come after her graceful stepped out earlier after she made Xiao Jun incensed.

"Does he not want to see my departure?" Senja mumbled as she walked away from the tent.

A guard had been waiting for her, standing beside the carriage that would take her away.

Senja had talked about this with Xiao Tianyao last night that it would be suspicious if she had suddenly disappeared and guessing from Xiao Jun reaction earlier, it was most likely Xiao Tianyao had talked about this with him as well.

But, at least Xiao Tianyao could see her left, right?

Looking around her and didn't even able to see his shadow dampen her mood. She gave her belongings and her sword to the guard who would be the coachmen as she stomped into the carriage.

Once she was inside, the guard whipped the horse to move, the two horses were neighing noisily before they run, brought the carriage behind them out of the military camp premises.

After sometime, the barren land and dusty road turned to be a forest with dense trees surrounding them. The chirping bird could be heard as it sent a relax sound down to her nerves.

After she was out of this forest, she would arrive at Q city around noon. She hoped Gong Xu and the other Senja were in the sanctuary for war refugees.

Xiao Tianyao had told her the location of the sanctuary. Most of the citizens had been evacuated since a week ago. Xiao Jun and he didn't want to implicate those innocent people as much as possible.

The horses that brought the carriage suddenly decreased their speed before the carriage eventually put into stop.

Senja frowned and looked at the trees through her window, they were definitely still in the forest, but why they stopped moving?

Senja opened the curtain that divided her seat and the coachman seat. "What happen?"

The question was barely leaving her lips when she watched the cause of her carriage had stopped. Her eyes shone brightly as a smile crept on her lips.

It was Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Jun and Yang Yu who was sitting atop of their horses.

Senja hurriedly got off the carriage and approached the man who had just dismounted his sturdy horse, pulled her into his embrace.

"I thought you will not come." Senja chuckled happily.

"It looked more real that way right?" Xiao Tianyao said in teasing tone.

From his horse Xiao Jun warned them. "We don't have much time."

"Hmm." Xiao Tianyao hummed as a respond before he put his attention toward Senja again. "Now, listen to me carefully."

"Alright." Senja nodded, released him as her expression turned serious.

"Go to this address, Ye Bai will be there." Xiao Tianyao gave her a small paper that had an address written on it. "If you can't find them within three days, stay away from Q city, understand?"

"Alright."

Senja was looking at the guard who was moving her belongings to Xiao Tianyao's horse, apparently she would ride by her own to the Q city.

"Yang Yu will be with you until you meet Ye Bai." Xiao Tianyao was nodding at Yang Yu direction. "And this"

Xiao Tianyao pulled out a translucent token from inside his pocket and put it in her palms.

"What is this?" Senja took the translucent token and as the sunlight fell on its surface, it glimmer beautifully. Senja was mesmerizing by the pale color that the token produced.

"This is the heirloom of the Black Sword Clan." Xiao Tianyao said. "If you meet Elder Dam's granddaughter, give this to her. She is the right owner."

Initially, Elder Dam gave him the token because he thought Senja was his real granddaughter and since Senja and he were together, hence the elder passed down the token to him. However, the true power of the token could only be used by the heir of the Black Sword Clan, so there was no use for Xiao Tianyao to keep it.

Senja instantly remembered by the mention of Senja's name, when Xiao Tianyao told her about the token.

She put the Black Sword Clan's heirloom in her pocket.

"How about the people who tried to assassinate Utara? Did Elder Fu manage to get them?"

"No, they escaped."

Senja frowned. "It's unfortunate, but it's good that Utara and you are fine."

"Thank to you."

"Me? I did nothing."

"Actually you are the one who told me about the assassination."

"When?"

"Shoot north tomorrow." Xiao Tianyao said. "North is Utara in another language." He explained with smile.

"Really?" Senja raised her brows.

"It seem the other party is in rush to start a war, thus to provoke our side they plan to kill Utara."
