The peal of laughter made everyone aware that a practitioner of a higher realm was also present there. The ancestor of the Yang Family was an ascended mortal but he did not act. He was reeling in from the shock of Yang Dao killing a person from the other side in front of his backer.
The laughter slowed down and a lady appeared in front of everyone. She wore a dark green robe and had grey hair. She did not have many wrinkles but her eyes were reflecting with vicissitude. She gave a very gentle vibe to the people but the calm smile on her face was the epitome of ruthlessness.
The lady said, "How did you find me?"
Yang Dao replied, "You have been masking your spirit fluctuations but still it leaves a lot of distortion in the spirit field."
The lady was shocked as if struck by a lightning bolt. She wanted to ask some more questions when Yang Dao beat her to it as he asked, "You came here to take me away, right? Your house surely needs to be cleaned up by someone else. You are pretty much useless."
The lady raised her eyebrow and her aura climbed, however, Yang Dao said, "You think I am scared of you? You did not even have the courtesy to respect the dignity of your daughter in a place, where your actions will be tantamount to how people treat her. I am glad my mum is not like you."
Yue Ling could sense the temperature of the place falling slowly, she placed a hand on the boy's head, indicating him to stop but Yang Dao did not care and said, "When granny Yue said that my maternal grandmother was here, not going to lie, I was excited about a bit. Then she told me about the facade. Disappointing, I must say."
Yang Dao softened his tone and said, "What is the use of strength and prestige if you cannot love someone who is a part of you? If my mother dies fighting that guy just now would you have not cared? If my father had not taken over the crucial blow, would you have been able to stop the blow from harming my mum?"
Madam Yue was stunned she had no idea why but the words Yang Dao used just now were making her heartache. It was true that she had not shown care and affection to her daughter but it did not mean she did not care about her. Yue Ling was the apple of her eye. She had been angry with her daughter for marrying such a small-statured family.
It was the family's way of punishing Yue Ling. That was why they agreed on taking custody of the child after birth. Another reason behind this was that Yue Ling's father was a strong man and had a lot of enemies inside the family itself. So, these enemies could use the child and Yue Ling as a chip to make things take a drastic turn in the clan.
This punishment was well thought out to guard Yang Dao against the sneak attacks. However, the two elders of the Yue family did not show any softness to Yue Ling and this had made things sour for them. Today Yang Dao's words had made her realize the fact in all seriousness.
Yue Ling closed her eyes and calmed down her raging emotions. The old lady had been floating in the void, landed on the ground slowly, she said to Yang Dao after crouching down in front of him, "Do you think, I have abandoned the child I nourished with blood, sweat, and tears?"
Her soft voice tone made Yue Ling shiver. She instinctively retreated a step but Yang Dao held her hand and said, "I do not think anything. I do not know you, but what I said was something my mum has been feeling. Love is the only emotion that needs to be expressed to be reaffirmed."
Madam Yue sighed and said, "Child, you say all that to me, after you kill that man? How did you do it?"
Yang Dao shrugged his shoulders and said, "That guy was not your aid, he was someone from another faction or person. Your attendant is quite polite, no?" he suddenly turned his head to the side where a lady, that nobody noticed had appeared. She walked forward to Yang Dao and bowed ninety degrees to greet him.
The boy did not say anything but nodded to her. Madam Yue smiled and said, "Ling, your son is better than you at this age."
Yue Ling was stunned with a smile on her mother's face. The lady walked over to hug her daughter. It has been twenty years since she had seen her daughter. She said, "I am sorry, my child. The situation did not allow us to hold a great wedding for you. The clan is not as harmonious as this one."
Madam Yue turned her head to Yang Shan and said, "I apologize to you as well, Shan. We had no option but to play mean in front of the clan. This person just now was the retainer of Ling's cousin. Yue Jiren. He is vying for the throne with my husband."
Yang Shan shook his head with a smile. He saw how his wife stuck herself to the lady and all the grievances in his heart were washed away. He loved Yue Ling a lot, and to the point where everything she liked, he liked. She disliked, he disliked.
Madam Yue parted with her daughter and greeted the rest of the people with a smile on her face. She turned her gaze to the boy who was walking around her aid in circles. She asked, "What are you doing, child?"
Yang Dao replied, "Your aid has the fluctuations of a spirit beast, but why can she look like a human being?"
Madam Yue was surprised and said, "Yes, she is a spirit beast. Her level of cultivation is a nascent soul in the human realm, but she can compete with an ascended mortal with ease. Beasts, when they form their golden cores, they get the physique of a human. They can transform back to their initial form as well."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "So, you came here to take me back to your place. I could only think of one reason. The things back home are not very peaceful."
Madam Yue was surprised once more. She could not figure out what the guy will talk about the next moment. She regained her composure and nodded. She said, "Your deduction is on the point."
Yang Dao nodded and thought for a moment and turned to the throne where his great grandfather said and he asked, "Big Gramps, I go? Will come back soon."
The old man sighed and said, "You are a restless one, are you not, rabbit. Go ask your grandfather and grandmother. If they agree then you can go with them."
Yue Ling wanted to say something when Yang Dao said, "Greenhouse trees cannot survive storms. Life is a storm itself no? Also, you told me that only strong prevail. Let me be strong."
Yang Shan placed a hand over the shoulder of his wife and stepped read. He just said, "Take care of yourself. Aunty Yun will be with you. You are not to allow carefreely."
Yang Dao sighed pouted, "Can you not let Granny Yun rest? She is older than you."
Yu Mulan walked inside the hall and said, "Rabbit, being naughty again? Remember what happened the last time Yun was not by your side? If not for your luck, that Lightning panther would have killed you. Thank god Yun found you at a right time."
Yang Dao raised his arms akimbo and with a pout, he said, "You all bully me, Grandma. This is not fair. It was Yang Ting Ting, she said..."
A soft voice sounded, "What did I say?"
Yang Dao coughed and said, "You said I should not pull its tail. However, the fluff looked like a piece of cloud."
The people all shook heads. Yu Mulan said to Madam Yue, "Jenny, I will live my baby in your care, but if he loses as much as a hair on his arm. Then the Yang Family is taking down at least half of your family. Do not think, just because we like to be peaceful, we do not have strength."
Madam Yue nodded and said, "Mulan, I will not let anything happen to him. He is my grandson as well."
The people agreed and soon Yang Dao began to pack his stuff. He was not aware of when he will be able to come back home, but he had a flare of determination in his eyes. He wanted to be strong. So strong that the people close to him will not suffer.
...
In the heavenly palace, Feng Yun was drinking tea with the other three people. Atsuji Kurogame smiled and said, "Master has developed a rather interesting life this time."
Laohu Bai nodded and said, "The time for his seals to loosen is coming close.. I look forward to his performance then."
