Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 115: Injustice

"What's your name?" Xiao Tianyao asked languidly.

The boy body shivered involuntarily and also his voice when he answered. "Hu Hu Feng" He bit down his lips to stop his chattering teeth. "Sobsob My Lord, I don't know anything. Sir Bian only told me to go to the border City and someone would meet me there" Hu feng said between his sobbing.

"How he got caught?" Xiao Tianyao tilted his head to Yang Yu who stood on his right side.

"Answer to Master, he was got caught because he stole a bracelet from a shop and when they inspected him, one of our people recognized L Clan's symbol, once we confirmed that the symbol and the letter were genuine, we brought him here and informed Master"

Senja lips were twitched. He got caught because he stole a bracelet? Last time he stole medicine. Is he kleptomaniac(1)?

Senja leaned over to whisper into Xiao Tianyao ears. "Commander Xiao you know the truth, I had told you that I overheard the 'Gooza' name. It must be the person who offered help for this poor kid who tricked him to be their messenger" Ignoring the fact that he got caught because of stealing. Senja could sensed that the kid had told the truth when he said he didn't know anything about L Clan.

Senja warm breath and her soft voice was ticklish in his ear however except took a deep breath Xiao Tianyao remained with that expressionless face of his and didn't look disturb at all.

"Whip him" He ordered succinctly.

Senja face fell into panic. Is he crazy? He should have known that the boy was only used by L Clan! Even if he was beaten to death, there was nothing that you could get from him.

The guard carried a long and thick whip, it was like a living snake with rough scales and began to whip the boy on his back. Instantly, the room filled with agony cried.

"My Lord My Lord, please Spare me" He was squealed and plea in pain. Probably because of the extreme fear, Hu Feng didn't recognized Xiao Tianyao or Senja, moreover she was wearing turban last time, so her appearance was very ordinary and not memorable.

Senja clenched her fist under her sleeves. She knew the boy was telling the truth but how to convince Xiao Tianyao?

When the guard would give the second blows. Without even thinking Senja exclaimed in panic to Xiao Tianyao. "Xiao Tianyao, stop it! You will kill him!"

Upon hearing Senja called their Master by his name all the guards stood in silence and the atmosphere turned still. They were waiting what their Master's reaction would be. However, Xiao Tianyao still sat on his chair and looked at Senja with menacing glared.

He didn't care about Senja called out his name but, it wasn't the reaction he wanted to see.

"Continue" He said with his eyes still on Senja's dark brown eyes and those eyes filled with resentment toward him.

When Senja heard his order, she shot him with fiery glare. She didn't know what he wanted but if the kid has to take one more blow, he would be in serious danger and since Senja knew he was innocence she couldn't close her eyes and ignore everything, right? At the moment, a flash of Gu Xie figure who die injustice crossed her mind. Besides that, she was able to feel the boy grievances although she didn't experience it, but his agony still affected her.

Without second thought Senja ran toward the guard who was carrying the thick whip and raised her legs to kick his hand, but of course the man wasn't merely an ordinary guard, he had caught her leg in time before it could reached him and throw her leg to the side.
