The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao left with Feng Yun unfretted and said, “Sister Yun, when can we go to see the accommodation?”

Feng Yun said, “We can go now, Young Master.” her expression was as if she had been waiting for him to ask. Yang Dao squinted his eyes and shook his head. He spoke, “You should not avoid your work because of me, sister Yun. You have built this company into a giant that people look up to by your own efforts and hard work. Although I am young and my EQ is low according to the people, but I am sensitive towards the vibes in the surroundings. You are also aware of what I am talking about. So you deal with your work today first, and then we will go. I will just read some books and walk around by myself.” his tone was very calm. But Feng Yun knew he said all this to save her image in the company. After all, she was the boss. Yang Dao did not show it earlier and appeared to be unaffected by the fingers and gazes posted at him, but he as an orphan was very sensitive to all this and did not want Feng Yun to be affected because of him.

Feng Yun spoke, “Okay, we will do as you say, Young Master. You can move around as you like and I will go back to work. Please call me if you need anything okay?” the two people exchanged their contact information. Yang Dao did not go back to the top floor,, but he came to a balcony in front of the Cafeteria. He asked the person in charge if he can take a chair out on the balcony. The man agreed, and Yang Dao carried a chair outside and placed it on the balcony. He sat with his back facing the cafeteria.

The people thought that Yang Dao wanted to watch the scenery, but contrary to their expectations Yang Dao had his eyes closed and was interacting with the surrounding air. He followed the instruction given by Feng Yun earlier. Soon the air in the surrounding 10 meters started blowing like a gentle breeze. Yang Dao’s movements were sensed by Feng Yun, who was working in her office. She raised her head and looked in the direction where Yang Dao was, and a smile appeared on her face.

Yang Dao was lost in interaction with the air and slowly the area of effect had turned from 10 meters to 50 meters. The sun had set and the company office was about to close. The cafeteria in charge did not have the guts to ask Yang Dao to leave as his status as sacred. Just when the cafeteria in charge was wondering whether he should contact the president. The cold faced Feng Yun appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria. She did not look at them and said, “You all are free to leave.”

The cafeteria in charge wanted to say that they do not mind staying, but judging from the president’s tone they all took the hint and left after greeting the cold-faced woman in front of them. Feng Yun waited for the people to leave and approached Yang Dao, who was sitting on the chair immersed in the interaction with the element. She spoke, “Young Master, it is time to go home.”

Yang Dao’s body trembled and woke up from his meditation. He spoke with an exasperated expression, “Sister Yun, I have been stuck on the same point for the past two hours. What is this situation?”

Feng Yun smiled and said, “Young Master, interaction and manipulation of the element is something that needs patience. You can now move the air in a radius of 50 meters. People take months to reach this stage that took you hours. Just be patient and you will get further than this point. You are the Dao Child blessed to have no bottlenecks, but what you need is the patience to interact with the elements.” her voice was calm and filled with warmth.

Yang Dao realized he is being impatient. He stood up and said, “Sister Yun, let’s leave. The sun has come down.”

Feng Yun nodded, and then she led Yang Dao back to the top floor where the helicopter was ready and waiting for them. Yang Dao quietly followed her and boarded the chopper. The beast woke up, and the rotors turned. The chopper took off and the two people departed for their destination. After a couple of hours, the helicopter landed on top of the reach of the apartment complex. Yang Dao could see the towering skyscrapers lit up in the dark night. It was like a pond of light in the dark cave.

Yang Dao sighed. He thought, ‘It is good to be rich.’

Feng Yun sensed his emotions but said nothing because in her heart whatever she owned belonged to her young master. The helicopter landed when the two people were lost in their thoughts. On top of the tallest tower, a helipad was constructed for Feng Yun especially. Yang Dao stepped down from the helicopter after Feng Yun.

The property manager Luna was waiting for them near the helipad. She came forward and slightly bowed to Feng Yun, “President Feng, everything has been arranged. Your penthouse has been cleaned. The supplies you ordered have also been delivered and stored inside the cloakroom and the kitchen.”

Feng Yun nodded and said, “Let’s go then.” her demeanor was that of a queen. Well, she was the president of the Phoenix Group, so this thing was natural for her.

Luna nodded and quickly led the two people to the elevator. Although she was curious about the bit, she dared not ask anything. Yang Dao spoke just as the elevator closed, “Sister Yun, are you also going to stay here?”

This question was obvious, he did not know if Feng Yun was going to stay here with him or not. Feng Yun shook her head and spoke with a reluctant tone, “No, I want to, but the commute will take too much time. It will be tiring. But if you want, I can stay.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Yang Dao glanced at her with squinted eyes, “You are again doing the same thing like in the morning.” Feng Yun found his action adorable and chuckled. Luna on the side was shocked to see Feng Yun like this. She could not imagine this iron maiden to have such a cheerful side.

Ting…

The elevator descended one floor, and the trio exited. Luna led the other two people to the door in front. She took out a key card, smoothly inserted it inside the key slot. The door opened with a click sound. She walked inside and the lights switched on automatically.

She spoke after turning to face Feng Yun, “President Feng, this penthouse has three rooms, four bathrooms, a kitchen, two powder rooms. The master bedroom has a cloakroom attached to it. The living room can also access the terrace. The four wind panels outside can also be used manually to adjust the wind flow. Do you need the property management office to arrange for maids or other staff?”

Feng Yun did not reply to her but turned to face Yang Dao. She asked in a polite manner, “Young Master, do you need them to arrange any staff for you?”

Yang Dao spoke, “Um the place is big I cannot clean it on my own, given the time I have daily.” he paused and turned to face Luna and he spoke, “Ma’am can we arrange for the maids to come over and clean it twice a week?” his tone was very calm and stable, unlike a teenager. He gave off the expression of a young scion.

Luna was also an experienced person, and she spoke, “Yes sir. That can be done.”

Yang Dao nodded with a smile on his face. He spoke, “Then we do that.”

Luna introduced Yang Dao and Feng Yun with some more features of the house. The penthouse was equipped with smart sensors that will turn on the lights automatically by detecting the occupant’s movement in the house. The furniture was of high quality and was never used before. The balcony had a sky pool at the edge. This place was like a mini-resort. After the introduction was done, Luna left.

Feng Yun took Yang Dao to the cloakroom attached to the master bedroom and said, “Young Master, this cloakroom is my real gift to you. Here are clothes and shoes for you I selected this morning when I was coming over to meet you. but I did not expect that paradise hotel owner to offend you. It made me angry, and I had to buy him out.”

Yang Dao smiled and said, “Sister Yun, it is bad to make you angry. Also, thank you very much for all that you have done for me.” he bowed down at a 60-degree angle to Feng Yun. How could Feng Yun accept a bow from her Young Master? She quickly held him by his shoulders and helped him stand straight. She said, “Young master, if not for the rules set by the heavens. I and the others could have come to you already. Also, please do not ask me to tell you about the others. They will come to you when the time is right. I hope you do not blame us.” she spoke in a pitiful voice. It was her duty to keep track of Yang Dao as the first familiar spirit, but she lost his trace when his parents died and she only found him when Yang Dao topped the college entrance exams. He stood out of the whole nation. When Feng Yun saw him on the news telecast, she recognized him in a glance.

Yang Dao nodded. He glanced at Feng Yun and said in a heavy voice, “Sister Yun, you go. It is getting late. I am tired and I need to sleep. You also sleep early. It is not good to overlook your health.”

Feng Yun sensed the turbulence in his heart, but she knew that Yang Dao would not open his heart to her just like that and she left. Yang Dao came to the helipad on the floor above to watch her leave. He spoke, “Sister Yun, can I have a bicycle? The college campus is one hour away from here. So, instead of wasting money on cabs or buses, I would like to have a bike for myself.”

Feng Yun spoke, “Young Master, should I arrange a chauffeur and a car for you?”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “I don’t like to pose, sister Yun. A good Bike would do. I will get a car after I am eligible for a driver’s license.”

Feng Yun nodded with a smile and boarded the Helicopter. The rotors started moving, and she waved bye to Yang Dao, who stood on the side. The wind produced from the rotors brushed off Yang Dao, making his clothes flutter. Yang Dao stood with one of his hands in his pocket while the other waved back to Feng Yun.

As she gazed at the boy standing on the windy roof waving at her Feng Yun muttered, “Young Master, I will one day make you open up to me.” while on the roof Yang Dao muttered, “I hope that one day I could open up you, Sister Yun.”

Yang Dao craved for someone he can share his pains with. He was an orphan who came this far with his own hard work. He sighed and turned back to go down to the house.
