The Urban Dao Child
Chapter 469 - Open Secret.
Yang Dao looked at the boy who spoke up. He could tell that this boy was his cousin, Yue Ming. He also took notice of the shy and silent girls standing behind the boy. They both had some resemblance to Yue Jiren.
He said, "Why would I joke?" in a serious manner.
Yang Dao's sentence made Yue Ming fall silent. Yue Jing stepped forward and said, "Brother Yang, congratulations on successfully becoming the disciple of the sect master." she bowed slightly.
The boy returned the gesture and asked, "Elder Sister is also following the tutelage of a council elder?"
Yue Jing was surprised and said, "My master is Elder Jing. I specialize in alchemy."
Yang Dao was surprised and nodded. He said, "That girl Athena also joined your ranks."
Yue Jing asked, "Who is Athena?"
A pleasant voice sounded from behind her, "That would be me, senior sister."
The people turned attention toward the source of the voice and found Athena Olympus walking over with a faint smile on her face. Yue Ming was smitten by her, he could not take off his eyes from her. Athena, however, had someone else in her eyes.
Yang Dao exchanged a glance with her and said, "Granny Yun, this lady is the heiress of the Olympus Overlord family, also, for some weird reason, she has been gazing at me. I am scared of her eyes."
The last part was said because he had taken notice of Yue Ming's gaze and was getting back at him. As he said this, he even moved to stand closer to Yue Yun.
Athena was surprised and then smiled as she bowed to Yue Yun and nodded to Jill. She said, "I look at you because you took down twenty wooden puppets, and that too with ease. I want to know, why can you do that?"
Yang Dao raised his chin and said, "Granny Yun taught me how to fight. This much is normal for me."
However, he did not notice the surprise and the shock received by Yue Jing and Yue Ming respectively. They both understood the implications of this sentence. They were seventeen and they were at the peak of the spirit gathering realm, however, the information they had received from the clan, this child was only ten years old. Yet, he was as strong as they were, this was a huge blow and a greater wake-up call.
Yue Jing was not included in the family power struggle because her father had thought that she will, in the end, just marry into a different house. Yue Ming was his successor, so from the beginning, he was groomed to take after him. The two snapped out of their daze when Diana Fray also joined over and greeted them.
They were all from the upper families and understood that Yue Yun, carrying the last name of the Yue family was their senior, and given that she was followed by Yang Dao's side, her status must not be easy.
Yang Dao asked, "Can I have a few words with you, Granny? Alone."
Yue Yun nodded and the two entered the ship after excusing themselves. Yue Yun asked, "Dao, what is it?"
The boy said, "Yue Ming is a problem, that much is confirmed. Now that my strength and identity are exposed, he will lay low for a few days, but if he is given a chance, he will not hesitate to make things difficult for me. When you return to the clan, tell that old man to monitor the communication between Yue Jiren and his two children. Do not exclude Yue Jing at all. We can never know, who is harboring what intention."
Yue Yun nodded, she said, "You better call the patriarch with all due respect. Did you forget what your mother taught you? Do not lose your manners because of someone else."
Yang Dao pursued his lips. Yue Yun crouched down in front of him and gently adjusted a few loose strands from his hair and said in a soft voice, "Only wise people can overcome the problems. You are wise, are you not? Wise people do not lose decorum, that is what weak people do."
Yang Dao heard her voice and sighed, as he replied, "You know they called me the young wise man back at home? I apologize, I will call grandpa with a proper address from now on."
Yue Yun nodded with a genial smile and kissed his forehead as she said, "Now, it is time for us to go back, you better take care of yourself, and also, do eat on time. Keep these talismans with yourself. Keep in touch with your mother and Madam Yue. Okay?"
She shoved two bundles of communication talismans and two jades in his hand. They both were used to communicate with two different people. Yang Dao nodded and kept the talisman inside his space ring. After a few more things, Yue Yun brought him outside. She looked at Yue Ming's visage and said, "Young Master Ming, please look after him."
Yue Ming was distracted from his admiration for Athena and nodded. He did not let his displeasure show on his face. Yue Yun asked the same of Yue Jing and the others. Then Jill and the two other guards got inside the ship and Yue Yun cast a long gaze on Yang Dao, who waved at her with a smile.
The lady has never let him leave her sight, since the day he was born. To her, Yang Dao was her own child and even more. Her identity was that of a servant but this child called her grandma without any intervention and was very loving to her. The thought of leaving him here made her disheartened. However, it was necessary, she took a long glance at his smiling face and waved her hand before getting on the ship.
Not many people noticed except Athena that the boy was clenching his fist behind his back. His face was beaming with a smile while his eyes were closed. He was trying not to let his tears dropdown.
After the ship vanished from their sight, Yue Ming said, "Cousin, how about you come with us? We can get to know each other."
Shakti stepped in before Yang Dao could say anything, "Junior Dao, you need to meet elder Jing to visit the sect master. Shall we go?"
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Cousin Ming, I am sorry for today. I will find you once I have settled down in the new lifestyle. Take care."
With that he left with Shakti, the rest also said their goodbyes and decided to go to report to their own masters. Yue Ming sneered and said, "I will see, for how long you can hide."
Yue Jing wanted to say something but held it in. She said, "Brother, I will go to report to master as well."
Yue Ming nodded and left to deal with his own things. The people around were not fools. They all noticed the tension in the air as soon as Yue Ming and Yang Dao spoke to each other.. The struggle for power inside the Yue family was now an open secret and these two were going to be the front-line players.
