Purple Dawn Till Dusk: Dearest through the time

Chapter 253: Another world exists

There was a subtle change on Xiao Jun's face.

"How is she?"

"She?"

"Riana how is she?"

Senja closed her mouth with both her hands utterly astonished.

"How do you know her!?" Senja exclaimed.

Riana was the name of the elderly woman who had sent her to this era. [How does he know her?]

Feng Chang and Yang Yu caught her shocked expression but couldn't figure out what the two were discussing.

"She" Senja drawled as she remembered the old woman and the last message from Sian that said Riana was in coma. "good."

"It's good as long as she's fine." There was a trace of longing in his tone.

"You know the whereabouts of Yun? I need him to be able to return."

"Yun? Did Riana ask for Yun?"

Senja nodded, "She told me to find Yun."

Xiao Jun chuckled as his eyes turned dim, "Yun's real name is Ye Xiu. He is Ye Bai's, Uncle Su's, older brother."

Senja abruptly stood up. "What!? Why didn't he say anything about that?"

She was exasperated! It'd been more than 2 times that she'd met Uncle Su but he'd never once said anything about this.

[That good for nothing old man!]

"Don't get angry. Only Riana called him Yun and I guess Ye Bai also doesn't know about this."

[Damn! Couldn't that old woman make things simple!? She actually gave the name that only she knew?? What a joke!]

"Is your place very far from here?"

"Hmm, very far." [ Around thousands of years, I guess!] "How do you know her? How do you know that she called Ye Xiu, Yun?"

"She was my Junior Sister in martial arts, in Mountain Sui Sword Sect and Ye Xiu was my Master."

Now Senja's jaw dropped.

[How could that the old woman from her modern era be this young man's junior sister? What? Is this some kind of a prank?]

"Maybe you got it wrong." Senja tried to adjust her shock. "I don't think she is your junior sister."

Xiao Jun grinned. "Of course, she is! Riana is my junior sister." There was a loving tone when he mentioned Riana's name. "Did you come from the same world as Riana?"

"Yes," Senja didn't know how to explain her feelings now.

Her world was jumbled.

[First, how could the old woman be Xiao Jun's little junior sister in martial arts? But, after Senja gave it some thought, she found it quite possible. Since the time she'd come, if she could have turned younger then in grandmother's case, her age could have actually added up? Well, it sounded crazy, but that was the only explanation.

Second, Xiao Jun was talking in a casual tone about another world? Her world? Did he know how Senja's modern world was?]

Xiao Jun looked at Senja's perplexity and spoke to appease her. "I don't know what world Riana and you live in. But, since there are many things that still remain a mystery under this sky, I will assume Riana's and your world are the same."

Xiao Jun gave Senja another surprise, this time with his wisdom.

Actually, Xiao Jun had seen Riana disappear before his eyes the moment she'd broken a red stone. He knew then, that he had witnessed one of the world's sacred secret.

Senja pulled out her necklace with a red stone pendant.

"She gave me this." Senja removed her necklace and showed it to Xiao Jun who took it from her hands.

"This is the stone." Xiao Jun mumbled.

"What stone?"

"This is Paradox Stone of Time."

Senja gritted her teeth.

[My God! Can't this man just explain it right away? Why does he always give short answers?]

"What is that stone? Does that stone have some kind of mystical power? Why did Riana have it? And how do you know about this stone?" Senja bombarded him with her questions so she didn't need to ask every single time.

She looked expectantly at the man for his answers. However, the words that came out of his lips wasn't the answer that Senja was looking for.
