The Urban Dao Child

Twelve hours passed so quickly that it felt like minutes to the people who were involved in the purge. The Garden Island issued statements and the big names held press addresses, but the damage has been done. Even if they were innocent as they claim to be, things cannot calm down in an instant.

The bigger problem was that the world asked them to bring forward the children who suffered this inhumane thing. They all wanted to assure that the children are alright. Where can the government complete this demand? Someone proposed to gather similar-aged children and present them in front of the media, as the ones in the videos declare them to be under isolated treatment.

The idea was good and was executed swiftly. Those in need exist all around the world. The people acted quickly and found such children. The media accepted this, but they all demanded the children be looked after by the government and provided high-end facilities and compensation.

The government had to accept this and even the term of making the procedure to be overseen by a public organization to ensure transparency. They were not sparing any efforts to mend the things. How could it be so easy?

…

While the people in the Jewel Nation were also exhausted but unlike the frowns on the faces of people in Garden Island. Everyone had a content smile on their faces here. The orders were given too suddenly, and almost none of the corrupt people had any time to run away at all. The impact of the raids was so strong that the felons and underworld of the nation were scared to death.

The record-high arrests and convictions shook the nation. The news was also boiling over this, but the limelight still belonged to the Garden Island. Jewel Nation did things more covertly. Those who were wise gave up and turned themselves in. As long as their crimes were not too big, they were spared.

The Central Cabinet understood that too much rectification will leave a lot of empty posts and filling them all instantly would be very hard. So Atsuji Kurogame came up with a proposal of promoting the innocent executives, while their posts were to be filled up by the people in training.

The youth of the nation preparing for the exams to become civil servants got immediate notice. The civil service examination was changed. The examinees will now have to handle the vacated designations. They will all be judged by their performances.

This method will help them groom more talents and also give them a chance to not let the government bodies crumble. All of this was executed in an instant.

If Yang Dao was to know that his anger caused such a drastic change in the country, then he would definitely ask the people to take it easy. Well, it was only a matter of time before he found out.

…

In Dao Courtyard, Feng Yun sat with Laohu Bai. The two were playing chess. It was Laohu Bai’s turn. She said, “This move was too sudden, Sister Yun.” as she moved a pawn.

Feng Yun nodded and said, “Surprise and regularities. It is all in balance Xiao Bai, once you break the balance, you lose the game.” as she moved a token, captured Laohu Bai’s knight.”

Suddenly they heard a voice. “Loss and victory are also balanced, Sister Yun. You may lose a game but might win another. You must find what you are good at. Even then your victory is not guaranteed. After all, guarantee and uncertainty also need to be balanced.”

They both knew whom this voice belonged to. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Feng Yun smiled and looked up, while Laohu Bai sensed pressure on her shoulder. Yang Dao rested his chin on her tender shoulder and spoke in a low voice. “I never knew that missions could be so stressful, Baibai. You need to ask them not to give me such important ones directly. I almost cried you know.”

His tone was aggrieved. However, Laohu Bai was happy. She was sure that the pressure must have made him grow, and she was also happy because her Young Master had his chin resting on her shoulder. Cozy close.

Yang Dao said, “Sister Yun, can I have some good food? Garden Island was not very travel-friendly for us. Also, can one of you deal with the rescued children? They might need some special care. some of them cannot be saved.” when he said that his voice became heavy.

Laohu Bai rubbed her cheek with him slightly as she said, “The balance of life of death is also a mandate of heavens, Dao. Don’t worry, I will look into it.”

The boy nodded and said, “Did you get smarter when I was out, Baibai?” he asked with a surprised tone.

The girl squinted and got back at him, “Your EQ raised a lot I see.”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Well, unlike some people who need to work on both IQ and EQ. I am still having it easy.” with that said he ran to his room.

Feng Yun smiled as she looked at the two people. She said, “Good for you, Xiao Bai. Dao is getting closer to you.” her voice was soft and cheerful.

Laohu Bai nodded and said, “Maybe because he is growing up.”

Feng Yun nodded and stood up. She said, “Come, little one, it is time you learn how to do more than just cook.” then she dragged the white-haired lady to the kitchen.

The two people cooked a lot of alluring food. Yang Dao took a shower and changed into comfy clothes. He got out of the room and found Lisa standing out of the room. She asked, “Young Master, how was your travel?”

The boy replied, “It was successful, Lisa. How are you? Also, did you read when I was gone?”

Lisa nodded and said, “I did. Learned some but still have doubts. Will you help me? Young Master?” listening to her soft voice.

Yang Dao smiled and said, “After the meal. We study. Okay?”

The maid nodded with a smile. Yang Dao thought, “The entire world is balanced. Someone losses and someone gains, some get pleasures while some get pains.”
