BXBX NOVEL Chapter 253 - Lessons Of Karma.
Yang Dao\'s action made the waitress lose her good impression of him. She thought this person was very nice at first, but when she was slapped, this man did not help her but even offered a meal to the cruel man. She went inside the kitchen with a heavy face and sulky heart.
Laohu Bai was also surprised at first, but with her understanding of the boy, she knew that this man will definitely suffer. The three people sat at Yang Dao\'s table. On the surface, Yang Dao was talking to the man happily.
Samson, however, was monitoring Laohu Bai. His brain was on a track of no return. He wanted to make this fly \'Yang Dao\' go away from his osmanthus cake \'Laohu Bai\' so that he can eat her. He asked, "Brother Yang, are you siblings out for travel?"
He was trying to confirm the relationship between Yang Dao and the girl. The latter was about to answer when Laohu Bai interrupted, "How can I be siblings of the Young Master?"
Samson had a spark flash in his eyes, "Oh, so this beauty is actually a slave subordinate to Brother Yang." his voice did not get pitiful but carried a cheer in it.
Yang Dao did not wait, but focused on his soup. Samson sighed and said, "How pitiful to have a beauty like you beating a slave. How about this, I buy you from him? Brother Yang, I do not know if I can buy this lady from you."
The Dao Child had a mouthful of soup in his mouth. After he heard what Samson said, he directly spewed a cold geyser on Samson\'s face. The scene in the inn froze. Yang Dao was, however, angry. He glared at Samson and a strong aura radiated from him, then he slapped Samson.
Smack!!
The next moment, Samson fell from the chair. Yang Dao asked, "How dare you stain my relationship with Baibai with such language?" his tone was exactly the same as how Jenna was. At this moment, the whole inn fell silent suddenly.
The guests did not expect such a scene to take place with the same person, but the position has changed. Samson sensed all the gazes concentrated on him. He was flushed with shame and grit his teeth. He wanted to stand up, but the force of the slap was so strong that it made him dizzy. Yang Dao still held back his strength when he smacked him.
After a few seconds, Samson stood up and with murderous eyes glared at Yang Dao. He said, "How dare you slap me?"
Yang Dao raised his head from the bowl and said, "Do you need me to slap you again?"
Laohu Bai stifled a peal of laughter. She knew this would happen. Samson was about to react when an Old Man entered the inn. His presence was like a storm unleashed. The people all stood up in his respect. The old man gazed around and his eyes fell on Yang Dao and Laohu Bai.
Samson was frozen in his place when he saw the old man. The person walked over and came in front of the table. He did not glance at Samson, but his eyes were locked on Yang Dao\'s visage. He arched his hands together and knelt on the ground as he said, "Lord, forgive this servant for arriving late."
Yang Dao shook his head and said, "Elder, please do not kneel. I feel embarrassed, please stand up."
The old man stood up amidst the shocked gazes of the people in the inn. Loahu Bai asked, "Who might you be old sir."
The man bowed as he said, "I am Orion. Minister in the palace of light. I was informed by the soldiers that the heavenly emissary has arrived in our kingdom."
Laohu Bai nodded and went back to eating. Yang Dao said, "Old sir, please sit down. Would you like to eat?"
Orion was temped but then he shook his head, he said, "Lord, please enjoy your meal." in his mind, he was not qualified to sit down and eat. He turned his head and said to the people, "You all did not recognize the child of chronicles, you all wait for the judgment." his words were strong.
It was as if not recognizing Yang Dao was a terminal crime. These people were civilians. They had enough troubles to deal with in life. How were they to expect that the child of chronicles will appear out of the blue?
"Minister Orion, forgive us. We did not expect the lord to appear among us plebeians." a person begged as he knelt down.
The rest also begged and kneel. The Inn staff also came forward. Jenna was about to kneel and beg as well, when Yang Dao said, "Quiet."
Everyone looked at him and with a wave of his hand, a strong gust lifted them all up to their feet. Yang Dao said, "You do not have to kneel to me. I am a human too. You do not have to recognize me as I have done nothing great. Be free. You are pardoned."
Laohu Bai said, "Minister Orion, they are pardoned. This is not a crime." her voice may be calm but the pressure it gave Orion was strong enough to bury him under the ground alive. The old man nodded and said, "Yes, My Lady."
Yang Dao finished eating the desert with a bright smile on his face. He said, "This dish is nice. Baibai, shall we ask for the recipe?"
The dessert was apple pie, but it was not similar to the one they had on earth. Laohu Bai chuckled and said, "Food hunter."
Yang Dao smiled and beckoned Jenna close to him. The girl walked over cautiously. She asked in a low voice, "Yes, Lord."
The Dao Child placed his head on her head gently and said, "You can call me Big Brother Dao. Drop the lord, okay. Also, I wanted to make this man feel what humility was, earlier. Otherwise, I would not have invited him to my table. Forgive me, please?"
Jenna was surprised and emotional when she heard these words. The person in front of her was the one this entire world was afraid of and respected. Yet this same man talked to her so gently and called her sister. She wiped a tear from her face and nodded her head.
Yang Dao looked at Samson and with a cold voice, he said, "What you do to others is what the world will do to you. You are rich, that is your fortune, but remember, wealth is a fleeting thing. You never know how you might sleep and never wake up, so what is the point of being arrogant about wealth gained by your forefathers?"
Orion was about to speak when Yang Dao\'s gaze fell onto him. Do not underestimate this smiling boy, he was a cold piece of iron for outsiders. He said, "Old Sir, the people inside this place are all civilians. You wanted to punish them, why? Just because they did not kneel to a person they did not recognize. You are a minister and must know that every human has their own pride and own notions. Some people believe in god and some do not, but have you ever seen God acting with bias?
You rule to serve. If someone is wrong, tell them their mistake and ask them the reason behind it. If the mistake does not hurt someone and the person is willing to accept it, they shall be forgiven. If I said that you knelt down in front of me is against my will, should I also punish you?"
His words shocked the people. They had never looked at things in such a way. Well, rich could buy the rights to do anything they wanted. The high officials ruled over the civilians. They never thought that wealth and life were fickle so what was the point in being rich. The high officials can also be ignored by the people superior to them. So, what was all the high and mighty facade.
Yang Dao said, "The rich and the poor fall sick all the same, they feel hungry all the same. They have same emotions and the same human body. Then what is the point of all this? Just because of some comforts you are bestowed by your ancestors? Do not forget they also started from nothing and then returned to nothing.
The purpose of laws and rules is to make everyone feel equal and protected. Do not use them as you like, glorifying things you think are great is not the purpose of the laws and the rules. Respect your own seat and the others will respect you. Otherwise, they will curse your from the depth of their hearts. Condemning you to the depths of hell."
What he spoke about were all facts of the Karma. These words carried the essence of balance in the world. Orion bowed in respect of these words he realized how wrong his actions were. He unintentionally was about to hurt the people he was supposed to serve and safeguard.
Laohu Bai nodded secretly with this. The Dao child had the power to influence people with his words. These words were the tool to restore the balance of the world. Yang Dao was very proficient in using this tool.
