"They are under hypnosis…" Senja whispered to him.

"Get on the horse." Xiao Tianyao repeated sternly.

Although his expression was as calm as ever, he was dead serious with his order now.

Senja swiftly put her feet on the saddle and pulled herself up, when Xiao Tianyao walked away from her, she thought he would let her go without him, hence she shouted anxiously. "Where are you going!?"

But, Xiao Tianyao only picked up one of the swords from the ground and approached her. He sat behind Senja.

"Take the rein." He ordered her.

Without question, Senja grabbed the rein tightly in her sweaty palm. The twenty young adults were circling them, didn't move an inch, as though they were waiting for permission to go berserk.

Xiao Tianyao behind here was wielding a sword on his both hand. "Take us out of here." He said with stoic face.

Like it was a cue, the moment Senja gathered the rein and squeezed the horse lightly behind the girth, those twenty teenager move forward.

Their movement was fast.

Crazily they swung the scythe on their hand. Yet, their movement wasn't exactly on point, it looked very reckless. Seemingly they didn't even care if Xiao Tianyao's sword cut their live.

It almost liked a suicide mission for them. No, this was suicide mission. They were under hypnosis for this reason.

Anyone who has hypnotized them didn't care about their live.

While Senja was trying to bring them out of the chaos, Xiao Tianyao was trying to ward off all the attack.

Needless to say that Xiao Tianyao also knew there was something fishy about those teenagers, so his counterattack wasn't mean to finish them off, it was only to get rid of them from their way.

However, with scythes swung around them and Xiao Tianyao consciences to not kill their attacker, it wasn't an easy job.

There was a couple of time the scythes almost stabbed Senja, but somehow Xiao Tianyao managed to block it. Fortunately, Xiao Wang Wei seemed lost interest to join the fun. Senja couldn't see him, but the slightest amusement that she felt was a sign that he enjoyed with what he saw.

She tried her best to get out from this messed and by miracle, Senja was able to put a distance away from those teenagers.

When there were no more scythes threatening their live, Xiao Tianyao threw one of the swords and put back his own sword to the scabbard before snatched the rein from Senja.

He was pricking upward into the sides and gave the horse's hindquarters a quick tap to make it move faster.

They moved in silence. Along the way, Senja concentrated to her surrounding, trying to intensify her sense. It was very bad when she made the second mistakes for wasn't able to recognize their presence.

Thus there shouldn't be a third time!

After a long time passed since they had managed to escape and Senja was very sure that no one around them, only then she spoke. "I think we have left them behind."

Now they were riding down a river on their right side and dense oak trees on their left. There was no sound except the sound from their horse footstep colliding with the soggy ground beneath it.

"Tianyao?" Senja called him.

Due to lack of response from him, she raised her head to look up at him.

And Xiao Tianyao's expression made Senja's heart beating frantically, "What happen?"

Xiao Tianyao was sweating furiously and his face exceptionally pale. "Tianyao, what happen!?" Senja half screamed. "Stop it!"

She snatched the rein from Xiao Tianyao easily and stopped the horse near the oak trees before she got down.

Xiao Tianyao dismounted the horse as well and staggered toward the tree. He slumped down while his breathing was uneven.

Senja helped him to lean on the tree as she checked his injuries. However, she couldn't find any…

"What happened? Talk to me… where are you hurt?" Her hand was shaking when she tried to examine his body, but there was no wound!

Her mind froze when she saw Xiao Tianyao's eyes slowly closed. "No… No… talk to me…" Senja whimpered while shaking his body.

She couldn't find any wound, but how could Xiao Tianyao's condition be like this?

Xiao Tianyao opened his mouth to talk, but his voice was very weak that made Senja couldn't hear him clearly.

"What did you say?" Senja moved closer until her ears on his lips.

"Hand…" Xiao Tianyao repeated faintly.

She had checked his hand, but couldn't find any major injuries.

**Hand …?**

Senja grabbed his hand and tore his robe, this time she paid close attention.

And there, there was a small cut on his right wrist. But, how could this small cut was able to put him in this condition? However, except from it, there wasn't any wound there.

Suddenly, as the understanding dawn to her, she could feel every cell on her body denied it.

The merely cut on his wrist would never put him in harm way, except if it was…

"Poison…?" Senja could feel Xiao Tianyao's hand turned cold in her grasp.
