Chapter 373 - Interaction.
As soon as the music stopped and the couple performed the last bow to each other the hall rang out with applause. It was Feng Yun, who took the lead to clap and wake up everyone else from their daze. Her applause woke up the rest from their daze and the clap began.
Yang Dao had a brilliant smile resting on his lips. As soon as Feng Yun came over to him he said, “The dance has come to an end, now it is time to chat.”
The sly spark in his eyes made Feng Yun recall what he has been doing this whole time. She had almost forgotten about his move against New Dawn. She nodded and turned to the higher management of the company, who were planning to mingle with Yang Dao and introduce some business proposals and girls for him.
However, Feng Yun said, “The night has come to an end. My brother has just returned from a trip and came here before any prior rest. So, I apologize but we will have to take our leave.”
Her words might sound polite but they were not up for negotiation. The management did not even think it was rude of her and nodded with smiles. After bidding farewell to the people the trio got inside their car. The car headed straight to the Dao Courtyard Mansion.
After getting down from the car, the three people headed inside. On the way to the study, Yang Dao took off his coat and undid his cufflinks. The boy rolled his sleeves and walked in big strides. Inside the study, RALF bot was already standing with his back facing the computer. It spoke, “Master, the other side has copied seventy percent of our improved algorithm along with the ‘openings'”
Yang Dao smiled and he sat down in front of the computer screen. He said, “Now, I would like to see Omega. The founder of New Dawn. This guy seems to be very confident about himself. To think that he even dared to alter the natural constitution of the human body. I wonder how many people did he kill in the process.”
As he thought about this his expression became solemn. Feng Yun sat down on a chair behind him and said, “Dao, your mindset is like that of the fire. Calm down. Or things will not be smooth. Only when the temperature is right does the metal melt. Do you understand?”
Yang Dao was guided by the goddess of flame and nodded. He had not yet noticed this. His temperament has become decisive and he was much more intimate with emotions now but he has also become prone to losing his control all of a sudden.
He asked, “Why am I like this? Did I not master the calmness when I learned the earth element?” he had doubts in his mind. After all, he had learned the earth element before and he was calm, the master of his thoughts.
Feng Yun nodded and said, “It is good that you have doubts. Well, when you practice with an element, that certain element takes over the major part of your conscious and the rest become dormant. Tell me the elements you have practiced till now?”
Yang Dao nodded and counted, “Wind, Earth, and now fire.”
Feng Yun nodded, “You have two volatile attributes. Both wind and fire. Thus the change in your temperament. These changes will let you grow and master the transition within yourself completely.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yang Dao understood what she meant and nodded. Then he closed his eyes to meditate. Feng Yun shook her head and with a wave of her hand cast a barrier around him. She mumbled, “Careless.”
Lisa who was standing behind her asked, “Miss, can anyone master the four elements?”
Feng Yun shook her head and said, “Only him. You must have found out that his identity is special by now. Do you want to know?”
Lisa nodded, Feng Yun said, “It is not that simple to know about him, Lisa. You will have to give up all the mundane things if you wish to stay beside him. He is an entity that exists beyond the horizons of the sky you currently look up to. He will leave this world to another place and there is someone as strong as he is, she is his destined better half. Do you still want to follow him?”
She was not inviting him but this was her disguised effort to test her resolve. If Lisa was to have any hesitation she will be left behind as Yang Dao walks forward. However, Lisa nodded and said, “Miss, I have never had a sense of belonging, and now, where Master goes, that place is my home. I do not know the reason behind this change in my mindset. It is not because of his favors or support, but when I am around him, I feel like I have some reason to exist. Even if it is to serve him for an eternity, I will gladly accept it.” then she bowed to Feng Yun.
Feng Yun did not miss the glint of conviction in her eyes. She was surprised to see that the girl did not even ask who was destined to be with Yang Dao but still accepted her place as the maid. This sort of dedication was not something she could understand. She had the power to look into the river of time.
So Lisa was still an open book to her. The rest of the girls all had their affection for Yang Dao slowly return to just a friend and idol after the boy went away. Only two more girls were there who had the same feelings for him as Lisa.
These girls were now being trained by Feng Yun and Laohu Bai in secret. They were found to have talent in being resilient and thus using them as guards for the boy was not a bad thing. These girls were groomed like Lisa but they were given traditional training as for who they were, it will be disclosed when the time was right. Feng Yun did not plan to let anyone know anything, for the time being, even Yang Dao.
As she was dwelling over these things, RALF suddenly said, “Miss, the algorithms have been hundred percent copied and are being installed in the enemy mainframe. It will take them some time to execute the command.”
Feng Yun nodded as she heard this and mumbled, “I hope this guy is a good enough whetting stone for him.”
This interaction today showed the difference in the resolve of the two people, while some resolved to serve, some resolved to destroy.. Two sides of a coin interact with each other without being far away yet not being in contact.
