The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 33
Advertisement
Yang Dao opened the door and saw four formally dressed community staff members pushing trolleys. They greeted him in unison, "Good evening, Young Master."
Yang Dao smiled and replied, "Good evening to all of you, and thank you for your hard work. Please come in. Can you push the trolleys to the balcony? Also, leave them be and collect them in the morning?"
The staff was 3 women and 1 man. They all nodded with a smile on their face. Yang Dao led them inside and after pointing to the balcony he went to his bedroom and took out some Carat Notes from his wallet. The staff was done serving the food. Yang Dao came out and followed the staff out to the entrance. He patted the man on the shoulder and said, "Please accept this." and with both hands presented him the Carat Notes.
The man shook his head and said, "Young Master. It is our job to serve the owners. We all get the salary for this. Please do not do this."
Yang Dao shook his head, "You cannot fool me like this. Your job is to maintain the community operations and not serving the owner. I know there is a different house-keeping department in here, but I did not have their contact details. So manager Luna sent you guys here. Please accept this otherwise, I will not ask for help in the future." his tone was friendly, and a smile rested on his face the whole time. Yang Dao's charm was omnipotent.
The man turned to the three women, they all nodded, and then he accepted the tip given by Yang Dao. Yang Dao nodded and closed the door. The team was already on the balcony, savoring the delicious food. Yang Dao spoke as he picked up his own plate, "Captain, now we have a gym but we lack a proper outdoor training circuit."
The rest nodded, Thomas spoke, "Hey, Dao, I remember the mechanical branch has a circuit track for testing the vehicle models they develop. This track is 9-kilometers big, spread around the university. It is fenced, not available for ordinary use. The terrain of the track comprises a 1-kilometer straight stretch, 3 kilometers of wide and narrow corners, which can be good for cornering exercise. The rest is a steep climbing slope. We can use it if the university permits. Though how will that happen is a different story?"

Yang Dao nodded and said, "The day after tomorrow, I will talk to that old man. Humph, if he dares to refuse I will switch colleges." he spoke with food stuffed in his mouth. Icarus laughed as he saw his funny face. Yang Dao kept on eating, then his phone rang. He put down his plate and chugged down the juice to help the meat slide down.
He pressed the button, and the call connected, "Hello, Young Master, the chopper has arrived on the terrace."
It was Luna who called him. He replied, "Alright, manager Luna, I will big there soon. Thank you." then he disconnected the call. He looked at Icarus and said, "Help me with a leave tomorrow."
Icarus nodded, they were all big boys, they all heard the call and quickly chowed down the food. Thomas spoke as he wiped his mouth with his sleeves, "Thanks for the meal, Dao. This was the freshest Sushi, I have ever eaten."
Yang Dao chuckled and said, "They breed salmon in the sapphire lake." he pointed in a direction to show them a breeding pool for the fish. The pool was a part of the lake and thus the fish was fresh. The team members all shook their heads and left after placing their dishes back on the trolleys. Yang Dao led them to the door, and they all left on their own. Yang Dao wanted to see them off, but they refused. Afterward, Yang Dao entered the elevator and went to the terrace.
A red chopper stood there with a couple of lights blinking on its tail and nose. The pilot was waiting for Yang Dao on the side. He stepped forward and bowed slightly. He spoke, "Young Master, shall we leave now?"
Yang Dao nodded with a smile on his face and he walked to the chopper. Before he boarded, he asked the pilot, "Can we fly with the cabin door open? I like the view that way."
The pilot was experienced and nodded with a smile. Then, Yang Dao got up from the chopper, tightened his seatbelt. After a few seconds, the rotor wings turned and they lift off the terrace. Yang Dao first enjoyed the night view of the sapphire lake, but then he closed his eyes, felt the wind moving around him. He did not move the wing but only sensed it. As he concentrated, he perceived the change in the wind flow.

The more he focused, the better the perception. Suddenly he felt as if he was surrounded by a lake of stars. These stars were the particles of wind. Yang Dao was now perceiving the wind at a molecular level. The particles were glowing because of the energy they contained. Feng Yun had not explained this to him, so Yang Dao could not do anything about this. He then opened his eyes and shook his head, taking a mental note to ask Feng Yun about this.
The journey carried on, and he kept perceiving the wind. This time he controlled his perception and only increased his range and not the intensity. His range was 70 meters, and this time it did not increase. Yang Dao was woken up by the pilot who spoke through the headset, "Young Master, we are about to land."
Yang Dao opened his eyes and looked outside. He was surprised to see an ancient-style courtyard house. This house looked plain, but it had a certain charm to it that made Yang Dao be mesmerized. with the sight. The house was surrounded by several evergreen trees. These trees all gave off a dim luster at night. Yang Dao muttered, "Evergreen Emerald Plum trees."
This tree was hard to cultivate, yet the courtyard as big as a fort was surrounded by it. From the sky, the courtyard pathways were visible. They all had red vines forming a loose canopy over them. The courtyard roof tiles were red and lustrous. On the corners of each roof, a phoenix with its wings wide open was visible. This thing was made from precious material. Under his shock and awe, the chopper landed gently in the garden.
Yang Dao quickly undid his seat belts and jumped out. The rotors of the chopper have not yet stopped moving completely. Yang Dao walked to the garden and saw a patch of flowers suddenly smiled, as he spoke, "The endangered, Moon Orchid. Sister Yun, one of these alone, could buy out the so-called rich in the jade nation."
A chuckle sounded behind him, Feng Yun was already waiting for him when the chopper landed, but the boy did not come to meet her. Instead, he went to the flower patch. She spoke in a soft voice, "That is not the case. These seeds were given to me as a gift by a botany expert from Garden Island. It bloomed well for a hard one to nurture."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Garden Island are indeed capable of such a gift. Okay, we talk later, first I cook for you."
Feng Yun nodded and stepped aside to lead Yang dao but who knew the boy would grab her boneless palm and said, "Why do you always act like a subordinate, Sister Yun?"
Feng Yun shook her head and said, "It has become a habit now. Young Master, let's go. I will try to not act like this."
Yang Dao nodded and holding her hand walked through the courtyard. He laughed and talked with Feng Yun about different plants and things he spotted on the way. Feng Yun was thrilled to see him act like this. Soon they came to the kitchen and Yang Dao made her a bowl of fried rice, boiled chicken sunflower salad. Feng Yun ate and was surprised to find that the taste was very refreshing.
This meal opened up the closed doors of Yang Dao's heart to her. Yang Dao also ate with her, and he kept serving her with a smile on his face. Feng Yun was so happy that her eyes turned red. She spoke, "Young Master, thank you."
Yang Dao replied, "I should thank you, Sister Yun. Also, please don't cry. I am not good at dealing with emotions." revealing a slightly embarrassing side. Feng Yun couldn't help but let out a chuckle at this.
The night passed with the two people joking and talking with each other about a variety of things they faced in life. Yang Dao unknowingly slept on the couch with his head resting on Feng Yun's shoulder.
