568 Family.
Yang Dao had left everyone speechless. He just treated an expert at the peak of the ascended mortal realm like he was some snotty-nosed kid. The elders took the people away after Yue Lei wang said that the elders should revise the punishment after all that has happened.
Yang Dao had no interest in this, he turned around and his wings vanished just like they had appeared. The young boy came to stand in front of Yue Jing and he said, “You better not go soft in the future. Do you understand?”
His words made the girl smile, she stepped forward and hugged him gently. She said, “I know, brother.”
Yang Dao sighed and whispered, “I am sleepy.”
Yue Yun came over and she carried the boy in her arms as they moved to his room. Athena, Yue Jing, and Jenny followed the two in silence. Yue Jing asked, “Granny Yun, Dao used his skills once in the trial and that display was nothing compared to what you saw just now. However, he did not fall asleep then. Why now?”
Yue Yun replied, “Young Miss, your question is your answer.” her tone was calm and respectful.
Yue Jing was surprised and Jenny patted her shoulder as the latter said, “You are now the young matriarch of the Yue Overlord, child. Do not be so surprised.”
At this moment only, Yue Jing realized the status of her newfound title. Athena watched her reaction and she smiled. This young lady was very adorable. The people reached the room designated for Yang Dao and Yue Jing asked, “Granny Yun, I do not understand what you meant earlier in the corridor.”
Yue Yun said as she tucked in Yang Dao, “The repetitive use of such skills will make him tired. He did not exert himself to the limits earlier, and over time he would have recovered fine, but the situation today triggered such a reaction from him. So, he fell asleep.”
The people understood what the lady meant. The night passed in a flicker and everyone was gathered inside the main hall of the Yue Family. Yue Jing sat on a chair behind Jenny. This chair was hers, the young matriarch. In the center of the hall, Yue Jiren and Yue Ming stood in silence. While Yue Jiren was still stuck in shock at what happened to him, Yue Ming stood with his head bowed.
Yue Lei Wang asked, “Yue Ming, do you admit your crimes?”
The boy raised his head and said, “Yes, I do.”
His voice was not loud but it was clear enough to be heard around the hall. The elders saw this and Yue Lei Wang asked, “Choose your Penance.”
Yue Ming took a step forward and bowed his body and said, “Whatever method the family decides is my choice.”
The elders exchanged glances and nodded, this was how someone should accept their crimes. Since they do not hesitate while committing the crimes why shall they be hesitant for punishments? What they did not know was that Yang Dao had told Yue Ming, about how he had placed a special wisp of spirit energy inside the heart of the boy.
Yang Dao had told him, that this spiritual energy is so well spread around the walls, that even if Yue Ming asks any elder to take a look at him, they will find nothing odd. Yang Dao was aware that Yue Ming will not believe him so easily so the boy told him, “This technique belongs to my master.”
Cunning, I must say, Who will be going to investigate a person at the pinnacle of their strength. Following the confession, Yue Ming was sentenced to go back to prestige school and excel in his cultivation with all hard work and dedication.
Yue Ming accepted the condition and departed immediately. He apologized to Yue Jing before leaving. Yue Jiren stood like a statue in the hall, but suddenly a questioning voice, made him shiver, “Are you going to put up an act that you have become a vegetable?”
The voice belonged to Yang Dao, who came to the main hall of the family with Yue Yun. He wore a plain white robe, he hid his palms in the hem of his robes, held together. Beside him was Athena dressed in her Rose pink robe. Yue Yun walked half a step behind the two people. The aura and temperament radiating from the young boy made the people gaze at him in a daze. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yue Jiren turned his head with his eyes brimming with an intention to kill locked at Yang Dao. He wanted to say something but the dao child cut him off, “The hatred in your eyes does not make me feel like you have any sense of shame. Tch such a lowly person like you can father my cousin, that must be the good deeds from your past lives.”
Yue Jiren replied, seething in rage, “Do not push me too much. I am not afraid of self-destruction.”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “I know, you are not afraid, but do you think, I have the patience to play ‘confess’ to you? I do not, you can go and explode right away, or shall I puncture your dantian right now, so that you remember your status?”
Yue Jiren said, “You have no right to meddle in the family business. If someone can deal with me that is my family. Not you.” he said all this not for any other reason but the fact that he was scared of Yang Dao. He was worried that this kid might actually do what he said just now.
Yang Dao smiled and said, “Do you even know what family means? If you had known this, you would not have been standing in this position. You are a cunning old fox and nothing much. Shameless.”
The elders did not stop when Yang Dao scolded Yue Jiren. The reason lay in Yang Dao’s strength and his argument. Who knows, if this kid would drag them into this quagmire as well. Yue Lei Wang decided on a sentence for Yue Jiren and it was exercised immediately. The man was sent to live in seclusion, all his movements were monitored.
After this was done, Yang Dao asked his grandparents the permission to go back home. Athena was going to tag along with them and he was very restless to see his mother and father and his whole family.
Jenny wanted to stop him for a few more days, but the anxious expression on his face made her smile and she allowed him to go back. Yue Jing wanted to come along with him, but the old lady told her to stay and learn the duties of the Young Matriarch of the clan. She was going to be officially coronated as the Young Matriarch, and thus she needed to deal with a lot of things.
Yang Dao and Athena boarded the ship that was used by Jenny personally, with Yue Yun, Jill, and another butler beside Athena. The ship was headed to Yang Dao’s home. On the way back, the Dao Child was like a child, hyperactive. Yue Yun had to scold him and had him meditate so that he does not make things difficult for people or ask the crew when they will reach.
…
Yue Ling was combing her hair, looking at her reflection in a daze. Yang Shan had gone to look after some work. Suddenly, an old voice sounded, “Ling, do not be so down child. Rabbit is fine. There will be news from the Yue Family soon.”
Yue Ling stood up and found her mother-in-law standing at the door of her room. She said, “Mom, you know, he never lags behind so much with the messages.”
Mulan nodded and sighed, these past few days there has been no news of Yang Dao, and she was worried. Not only the ladies, but the men in the family, all young and old, were the same. Suddenly, a teenage girl rushed over and said, “Grandma, Auntie Ling, a ship from Yue Overlord, just landed at the spaceport.”
The ladies were shocked, Mulan said, “Hurry up, there must be some news of Dao.”
However, a soft voice made them all freeze, “Hmmm, why do you need my news, when I am here, Granny? Also, Ting Ting again spoiled my surprise. Huh, mum, why are you crying? Did that old man say anything mean to you?”
The voice belonged to Yang Dao, who, ditched the ship when they were under the atmosphere and with his wings, he flew over to his house directly. Yue Ling raised her hand and touched her face, she looked at her hand and found it to be wet. Yang Ting Ting berated the young boy who had just landed at the door, with his azure wings, “Brat, you better tell me how you got those wings. I want to look pretty too.”
Yang Dao stuck his tongue out and said, “You dare to compare with me, the millennial geni…”
Before he could complete his words, his mother has taken him up in her arms and hugged him in her bosom.
