The Story of Dusk 295 SHE ACTED SPOILED

Just like what Xiao Jun had said, the raw material of the antidote came around afternoon and since that, Senja had locked herself inside the library and gave strictly order to not allow anyone, including her grandfather to disturb her.

Though this order was slightly weird, but it was still understandable.

For someone with closed personality like Senja, she definitely needed a calm atmosphere for her to concentrate with the task at hand.

Thus, after they put the raw material and various foods inside the library and also closed the only window inside, they left the library and guarded it, not allowed a single soul to trespass.

After Senja was sure that she was the only inside the library, she locked the door and dashed toward the hidden room.

"Let's do your magic!" Senja said excitedly as she called out for Gong Xu.

Gong Xu only chuckled upon hearing her antics and stepped out from the hidden room to start his work while Senja was sitting atop of the table beside him, eating her favorite fruit, apple.

"So, how long it will take?" She wiggled her legs.

"A day." Gong Xu answered curtly as he focused on the material in his hand.

"Do you mean I have to stay inside the library for a day?" Senja raised her eyebrows questioningly.

"Yes, if you don't want to make people suspicious how the antidote had made without you here." Gong Xu chuckled when he saw Senja pouted sullenly.

"All right." Senja yielded. "What if Modama found out about this and suspect that you are the one behind this?"

"I have thought about that. He will definitely find out that I am here." Gong Xu remembered the mysterious man who was about to kill Xiao Mugi that night.

He was from Misty Cloud Clan.

If before, his father still doubted his whereabouts, but now with this antidote he would definitely certain that he was the one behind this and figured out that he had been hiding here.

"So, what you will do then?" Senja jumped from the table and faced Gong Xu. "What will happen if they find out that you are here?"

"That's mean my time here is up, I need to go." Gong Xu said it offhandedly.

However, Senja suddenly became so emotional as she suddenly hugged Gong Xu's waist and almost knocked him to the ground.

"No! You can't go anywhere without me! You have promised me!" Senja shook her head vigorously. "You have promised me that you will take me away from this mansion."

Gong Xu didn't see this coming, as he was flabbergasted with Senja's strong reaction.

"Senja…" Gong Xu caressed her head, traced his fingers along her silky hair while Senja buried her face on his chest, her shoulder were shaking softly.

"No! You have promised me to take me with you! I want to go with you!" Senja said between her sob. "If because of this, you have to go, then I will just say that I don't know how to make this antidote!"

"Hey, hey…" Gong Xu was speechless, it had been long time since Senja acted out of impulsiveness and be like this. "Your life here is good now. No more step mother and step sister who will bully you and after this incident, your grandfather will be here to accompany you, no one will dare to do anything stupid toward you."

"No! I don't want that!" Senja was adamant to reject that idea.

"Compare if you live with me, there will not be certainty, I will fight and run, fight and run, probably for the rest of my life or until someone manages to destroy the current sovereign, but before that, I will live in danger." Gong Xu tried to reason with him.

"I don't care, you can teach me how to fight and I am a good runner!" Senja shook her head again. "If you leave this mansion, I will leave also!"

Gong Xu laughed lightly upon Senja's childish act. "Are you sure, you want to live like that? You will leave your grandfather."

"Grandfather has the entire shadow guard and the black sword clan, he will be fine." Senja said in low tone. "After all, he has dedicated his whole life for them, so it time for them to pay grandfather back."

Gong Xu caressed Senja's back, he knew she was still disappointed at her grandfather. "That's not how it work, Senja."

"I don't care how it works! I just want you to keep your promise!" Senja was agitated now.

"Alright, we will talk about this again later." Gong Xu said as he cupped Senja's face and wiped her tears. "Let's finish this antidote and help those people, all right?" He tried to compromise with her.

"Promise me that you will bring me with you!" Senja didn't want this matter past without he made a promise.

"Senja, think about this again."

"Promise me!"

"Promise." Gong Xu finally sighed in defeat.

"All right." Senja wiped the tears on her cheek harshly before she went to the corner of the library. "I am sleepy."

"You sleep, I will finish this." Gong Xu resumed his attention to the antidote.

"Hmm." Senja mumbled as a replied.

***

In the next day, when the antidote had been made, Senja handed that to Xiao Jun to be tested, the result would be out next day.

Ever since the conversation of Gong Xu intended to leave the city, Senja became more childish as she would lock the other side of the door, so Gong Xu wouldn't leave the room.

Of course, her action only made Gong Xu laughed.

How she could think a single lock could prevent him from going outside? He could easily break that lock into two and walked away like nothing happen.

Regardless what he could do, in the end, Gong Xu didn't do it.

Moreover, he still needed time to rest and regained his strength the poison last time was hard to get rid, as he easily felt tired.

"The result will be out today." Senja informed him the moment she stepped inside the room while bringing a plate full of foods.

"So, why are you here?" Gong Xu was about to put ointment on his wound on his chest when Senja came.

"Prince Xiao Jun is still in the training ground, so I will wait for him here." Senja put down the plate and approached Gong Xu. "Give it to me."

She stretched out her hand as she asked for the ointment.

"I can do it by myself." Gong Xu rejected her offer.

"Let me do it." Senja snatched the ointment from Gong Xu casually as she rubbed in on his wound, the wound would definitely leave a scar, fortunately he wasn't a woman or else he would be in trouble for having scar on his body.

"From the moment we distribute the antidote, how long do you think your father will find out that you are here?" Senja asked, her eyes still etched on his wound.

"The longest is a week." Gong Xu took the ointment from Senja's hand and put it away and then wore his clothes again.

"That's so fast!" Senja was surprised, she also stood up and wiped her hand from the remaining ointment. "What should we do?"
