The Urban Dao Child
Chapter 123 - Healing.
Yang Dao fell silent after he heard Feng Yun's words. The boy let out a breath and said, "Thank you, also, don't cry. I am fine you see. That guy wanted to escape when I rushed at him. Given his determination. This suicide attack was just a desperate effort if he was successfully allowed to let go. I would have probably fallen into a more dire state."
Feng Yun's expression became somber when she heard his explanation. Yang Dao was on point in this reasoning. She said, "You don't worry about this now, focus on your healing. Tell me if you need anything?"
Yang Dao thought for a bit and said, "Can you call Icarus and senior Ray here? Along with Kiya? I have to finish the last few bits of the programming and put the BETA versions to test and experiment. We only have a month. Elder Atsuji took a great risk when they barred Crypto nation. Also, you co-operate with your subsidiaries in allied nations. Contact the governments there and talk to them. We sell the assistants on a lower price margin. This time they all stood along with us, so we better pay them back."
Feng Yun nodded as she heard his instructions. She picked up a phone from the side table and placed it in front of Yang Dao's face to unlock it. Then she swiped the screen a few times with her long delicate fingers and dialed Icarus's cell phone. Yang Dao was not allowed to talk loudly as that will hurt his wound.
The call connected and a voice spoke, "DAO, YOU BITCH, ARE YOU OKAY? TELL ME WHO DID IT? I WILL KILL HIM FOR YOU..." before he could utter any more profanities, Feng Yun said, "This is Feng Yun speaking."
Icarus fell silent, Yang Dao was listening to all this as the call was put on speaker. The boy said, "This guy will always make me laugh. Oh, it will hurt." he smiled, and Feng Yun smiled as she watched him happy.
She spoke in her cold voice, "I will arrange a pick up for you, call over Ray and Kiya at your place. Tell me the location and someone will pick you up. Bring your computer notebook and tech things along. You have 48 hours."
The other side replied, "Yes, Madam." and Feng Yun disconnected the call. The girl said, "You take a rest, Laohu Bai will come here. I will go and deal with some pushing matters in the office. Don't worry though I am just downstairs. Okay?" she caressed his forehead with a warm expression on her face.
Yang Dao nodded as he closed his eyes, enjoying her warm touch. The door of the ward was pushed open, Laohu Bai entered the room. Feng Yun turned to see her and said, "Xiao Bai you stay here, I will come back in a few hours."
The white-haired lady nodded, her face was unnatural. She came and stood beside the bed. Feng Yun spoke a few words to Yang Dao and left the ward. The boy glanced at her and said, "Why are you sullen? Is it because of the incident? This was not yours or their fault. They did their best to minimize the damages, you know. If not for them, I would have, in all likeliness died. So don't be so hard on your self Baibai." his soft voice penetrated through her core.
Laohu Bai had her eyes flooded. She said, "Young Master, they are better than this. There were times on the battlefield when only they made us get through it. Yet today, this was not what I expected from them." her voice was shaking.
Yang Dao patted the bed with his hand gently. He said, "Sit here."
Laohu Bai nodded and hesitantly sat down on the bed where he patted. The boy spoke in a low voice, "Why do you expect? Your expectations are a burden on them and yourself. They push themself so much so that they can catch up to you. In this process, you hinder their insight about themselves. Today they acted how you would have acted in all the situations, that is why you blame yourself, right?"
Laohu Bai heard his words and nodded. His words were indeed true. She had trained her team to be like her. Yang Dao continued, "The situation today was different from the battlefield. We were in an urban zone, the enemy was in the shadows. Your team specializes in attack but not rescue and protection detail. You also realized that, and that is why you are so guilt-ridden. Let it go, the future will be better. They will grow from the failure and so will you."
Suddenly his eyes shone with a golden light as his voice turned ethereal, "Those who stand up from a fall can carry on the way to the supreme dao. Never let your emotions hinder your sense of progress."
Laohu Bai was stunned for a bit and then she knelt on the ground. She mumbled, "Loahu Bai understands." her voice was filled with reverence and awe.
The golden light faded from the eyes. Yang Dao suddenly felt drained and closed his eyes as he fell asleep. Laohu Bai stood up from the ground and said, "Heal well Young Master." her phone rang, it was the other three on a conference call.
She spoke even before they could, "Yes, he manifested Dao teaching just now. It was related to me. I am fine now. The young master fell asleep from the drain."
Atsuji Kurogame said, "Not only you but all of us are also healed."
The four people talked a bit and then the call disconnected. The blood they threw up was because they were all also injured when Yang Dao suffered the stab wound. To be precise, their wound was more like an injury on their Dao Core. The core was just like their source cores that resided inside Yang Dao.
This core was a part of Yang Dao's spirit inside them that was exchanged during the acceptance ritual. Just now when Yang Dao manifested the golden light in his eyes. He preached true Dao to Laohu Bai. That manifestation healed his spirit inside the four of them.
This was something he did unconsciously. His sole intent at that moment was to console Laohu Bai. He did not know whether he had any such skills and neither will he remember any of them. Only when he learns about all four elements will he be able to control such skills of his.
Laohu Bai gazed at the boy in front of him. Her eyes sparkled with resolve and determination not to let him suffer like this in the future. She sat down on the couch at the side with her eyes closed, meditating.
...
Jade City University, the principal office.
Feng Yun called Aislinn Jasper. The principal said, "Miss Feng, I understand that Yang Dao is injured. He has my best wishes, but Shelby Copper almost died too. So, as a principal of the university. I have to take responsible action in this event. Until you make sure that Yang Dao is not being targeted, I hope you do not send him over. This will be exposing my students to unnecessary risks. I hope you understand."
Feng Yun spoke, "I understand your concern but do not worry, it will be clarified to you in a few days. Only then will I allow my brother to go back to classes." her voice was brimming with confidence. She was sure of it. Ryu Jinshi had left the country the moment Yang Dao woke up. He went to the crypto nation to kill the preparator. As for Laohu Bai's team, they were clearing up the scum inside the city. Major offenders were shot down and the lowly ones were all to be thrown inside the prison.
The principal asked about Yang Dao's medical condition and disconnected the call after some good wishes. Then she called up all the teachers, whose classes the boy took, to inform them of his absence. She did not reveal the detail about him being injured at all. This was not known to everyone.
The people in the college only knew that Yang Dao was attacked, Shelby Copper was admitted to a hospital by Carole Tepes. Later on, she went back to her dormitory. She wanted to find out about the boy's condition, but her father had asked her not to do things the usual way. If she wanted to be a friend with him, she should do it by correcting her first impression.
...
Drake Langford sat in the five-star hotel's suite with his leg crossed over the other. He smirked after he put down the phone. The call was from his home, his father told him about how the mercenary leader died and injured Yang Dao gravely. He mumbled, "Now I want to see you defending that girl." his words had just dropped when the suite's bell rung.
