The Urban Dao Child

The file contained the details of how many people were killed by the forces allied to the Phoenix group. There were even some children involved in this thing. Yang Dao felt very enraged when he read all this. Feng Yun did not feel any resentment towards his behavior. Yang Dao was a 16-year-old kid. He was unaware of the ways of the world. She placed the file down on the table and spoke in a patient manner.

“Young Master, do you think it is wrong to kill humans?”

Yang Dao glared at her but did not answer. Feng Yun continued after registering his reaction, “The people we killed are offenders of nature. Every person inside this file is artificially created. They are created by a group of people who failed to perceive the elements and thus decided to misuse the power of science. These things look like humans but are synthesized in a high-tech facility. That is why they were just erased.”

Yang Dao was shocked to hear this. He did not expect things to be like this. Although it all sounded a bit fancy he could not find a reason to say that it is not true. Perceiving the elements also sounds like a fantasy tale but he himself experienced it. He wanted to say something but he hesitated. Feng Yun sensed his mood as his spiritual familiar and said, “Young Master, I understand that you might want to see the proof of what I say is real but it is not the time for you to meddle with these things. You are not strong enough. I can only ask you to place your trust in me.”

Her tone was sincere and her eyes had an expectant gaze. Yang Dao observed her carefully and pondered for a bit. Then he said, “Okay, Sister Yun, I will trust you for the time being.”

Feng Yun’s heart finally started beating and she smiled. She was scared when Yang Dao got enraged. She thought he will leave her right now but maybe it was because of heaven’s blessing. The Dao Child and the familiars will always choose to stay together. She sat down on a chair opposite Yang Dao and said, “Young Master, given your talent you do not need to go to college. You can study on your own and just go to appear in the examination. But I would like to ask for your opinion. What do you want to do also you can stay outside the campus dorms? I will arrange transportation for you as well.”

Yang Dao spoke, “I would like to attend the college but if you have something for me I don’t mind taking a day or two off. I can also join the office as an intern to learn during vacations. Though there is one thing that I want to do right away. I think you can arrange for it.”

Feng Yun’s battle spirit lit up. She spoke, “Anything you say, Young Master.”

Yang Dao smiled and said, “Sister Yun, I grew up in an orphanage. That place is like my home and the people are my family. I would like you to allocate 50 % of the profit from Paradise Hotels to the orphanage charity fund. Then set a group of people to monitor and look after things such as orphanage maintenance, hygiene, education of the children. Also, a career guide, who can encourage them to pursue what they want and not what they need. If they put their efforts into the things they dream to achieve then allocate separate funds according to their needs. The funds would be coming from the profit of the hotel. Can you make the arrangements?”

Feng Yun smiled and nodded. She had no problem in making arrangements for such a task. She was a part of the divine phoenix soul and she was aware of her identity. Now she understood why the heavens blessed this boy to be the dao child. This boy would always pay the debts and accumulate good karma. She thought of something and spoke, “Young Master, why do you not donate the money in your name but the hotel’s name?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Yang Dao replied, “One should not look for fame while doing good deeds sister Yun. Also, they will ask how and where did I procure so much money. It would be a hassle.” he gave her a sheepish smile. Feng Yun returned the gesture and nodded in satisfaction. The familiar spirits were supposed to guide the Dao Child and when she observed Yang Dao’s way of thinking. She was assured that he was a good soul.

Yang Dao spoke again, “Sister Yun, I don’t like the atmosphere at the university. Too many snobs. They dampen the atmosphere. So can you arrange a place for me to stay? Near the college if possible.”

Feng Yun spoke, “Young Master, I have a place in the apartments near Sapphire Lake. It is a nice place to live. How about I arrange for you to stay there? It won’t take long for you to reach your college from there. Plus it is a safe and secure area. It is just an hour away from your college.”

Yang Dao mumbled, “Okay, I will stay there. Then I think I should cancel my dorm registration that would save me some scholarship funding. Guess I can only do it tomorrow.” then he looked at Feng Yun and said, “Okay sister Yun, I will follow your arrangements then. Also, can you call me something other than the Young Master? It feels awkward to be addressed like that. You are like an elder sister to me.”

Feng Yun smiled with delight and she picked up her phone to dial a number. She spoke, “Manager Luna, inform the maintenance staff to clean up my penthouse. My younger brother will stay there starting today. Also, send some people to check the vehicles in the garage.”

The manager Luna on the other side was shocked when she heard these words but then she replied quickly and said, “I will get these things done, Madam. May I ask by what time your brother will arrive? I would inform the security in advance.”

Feng Yun replied, “I will come along with him in the evening. Will it be done by then?”

Luna replied, “Yes, President Feng, I will personally overlook the whole thing.”

Feng Yun said, “Very well then, thank you for your hard work Luna.” her tone was filled with genuine praise.

Luna was again surprised and she replied, “It is what I should do, President Feng. I will see you in the evening then.” although her voice was calm her heart was fluttering like a butterfly. She disconnected the call and rushed out of her cabin in a hurry. This whole apartment complex that had 500 luxury apartment units was built by New Light Infra, a subsidiary of the Pheonix Group, and Feng Yun owned the best penthouse in the main tower. The penthouse was situated on the fiftieth floor. The top floor of one of the best residential complexes in the city.

On the other side, Feng Yun said, “It is done. Do you have anything you want to do?”

Yang Dao said, “If you are not too busy can you show me around this building. It is my first time in a corporate office.”

Feng Yun nodded with a smile, she took him for a tour. In Feng Yun’s vision, she would never be too busy for Yang Dao. Although, Yang Dao was not yet completely trustful of her the see-saw they both were riding was balanced for the moment and Feng Yun believed that she can win over Yang Dao with time and effort.
