BXBX NOVEL Chapter 455 - Calculative.
Yang Dao looked outside from the porthole and he found an entire solar system lying in front of him. He could not see all the planets but he could see the big bright sun. He gazed at the sea of stars as if looking for something.
Madam Yue asked, "What are you looking for, child?"
The boy replied, "I wanted to ask, where is the Overlord Yue, you spoke about?"
Madam Yue chuckled and said, "The blue sun is an overlord class star. Yue family is the sovereign of the solar system. Thus the whole solar system is called Overlord Yue."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Okay."
He lost his interest in the place after knowing that it was a man-made title. He gazed at the big star in front of him with calm and peace in his mind. The boy asked while gazing outside, "How long will it take to reach the home domain."
Madam Yue said, "A few minutes."
Yang Dao nodded and did not say anything. He was pondering over something. Yue Yun gestured to Madam Yun to leave him be and move ahead. The lady nodded and took out a communication jade to tell her steward that the shop can move forward.
Soon the ship moved through the void and after an hour, Yang Dao saw them navigate to a planet surrounded by asteroid rings. The planet was green and blue from the distance and before he could look at more detail, a lot of clouds surrounded them.
After a second, the clouds also vanished from the sight. Yang Dao spotted a few birds in the sky but they did not approach the ship. Suddenly, the ship slowed down and it came to dock with a station. Yang Dao could not see much of the dock's detail so he walked out of his cabin.
He found Yue Yun and wanted to get out as soon as the ship docked, but Madam Yue came to him and said, "Out there, a lot of people will be waiting for you. These people will want to have a peek at you, even probe you, do not be afraid and act confidently, I have your back."
Yang Dao nodded to her as he walked ahead with Yue Yun. As soon as he came out of the ship. He found a lot of people gazing at him. They were all murmuring about his appearance. A few of the murmurs were picked up by Yang Dao.
The people were curious as they spoke up in a low voice, "You think this baby has got the talent that the young lady had?"
Stranger 2, "Yes, I also wonder what level is he at the moment."
The strangers kept on talking and Yang Dao walked away with the lady. He did not care about all these people. They were passing characters to him. However, some people did not take it well for him to ignore them.
Yang Dao sensed a strong killing intent aimed at his back. He heard a cold voice, "Why do you, a rat from an unknown place have the guts to overlook us. Do you know that this place is the domain of the Yue family?"
Yang Dao still did not react and kept walking, the person thought that he was afraid of him and wanted to getaway. He continued, "The parents could not even keep back their son. So, weak they are, no wonder they gave birth to a rat. So eager to hide in a hole."
The people gasped at this. Who would try to taunt the son of Yue Ling, the grandson of the master of the Yue Family? They looked at the source of the noise and found it to be a man wearing a black and white Hanfu.
This black and white hanfu was the uniform of the stewards of the Yue family, they were all entities in the nascent soul realm. The people could not dare to offend them and they stepped back. The crowd knew that it was wrong to do such things but they could not meddle between the people. They could only listen to what was going on and bow their heads.
Strength was supreme, it was not the strength of an individual only but the strength of the people behind that individual. Yang Dao stopped after hearing the last word. He did not wish to take this on him. He turned his gaze at the person standing a few meters away from him. This person had a sharp face, looked like a viper.
Yang Dao asked, "Steward Jill, would you mind telling me who this person is?"
He could sense that Madam Yue and Steward Jill had disembarked behind them and were catching up. Madam Yue had her gaze trained to the man. Her eyes brimming with anger. The man also spotted her and bowed in greeting as he said, "I apologize for my rudeness, my master had told me to test the courage of Young Master Yang."
This made the corner of Madam Yue's lip twitch. Yang Dao asked Jill again, "Did you hear what I asked you?"
Jill bowed her head and said, "This person is a steward in the family."
This was his identity. Yang Dao asked, "The master in his mouth. Who is it?"
Jill replied, "The second young master of the family, Yue Jiren. This person is your mother's first cousin."
Yang Dao was smart enough to connect the dots and said, "Hmmm, I see. My uncle has reared a rather unsightly pet."
With that remark, he walked over to the other person's side. He circled him one time and said, "A venomous snake, sly, cunning, hiding in the shadows, aiming at the backs of the people. You are just like a poisonous insect found at my domain."
Yang Dao's words caused the people to open their eyes wide. They did not expect him to be so good at using his tongue sword. The steward was angry but he kept a smile on his face. He asked, "Is young master not aware that I will attack you? I can harm you critically before your protectors can react."
The boy said, "You can but you will not." with that said, the boy walked back to Yue Yun, exposing his small back to the man. This was a challenge.
He said, "I am courageous enough to open my back to you. If you have guts, come at me. Even insects attack their prey when they are given a chance. I swear none of my protectors will act. You can try attacking me."
The voice in the steward's ears was like a hook that gave him ideas. He shook his head and after bowing to Madam Yue turned around to walk when he heard a 'click' and a 'sigh'. The impulse inside his heart. It flared up and without saying anything he attacked the boy with the tip of his fingers aimed at the back of Yang Dao's heart.
The boy sensed his movement, as soon as he had clicked his tongue he had sensed the pause in the steps taken by the man. Earlier during his cultivation not only his body spiritually leveled up but his elemental sense had also improved. The movements of the man were predicted by him based upon his instincts.
The feeling of being stared at had always been there when Yue Yun protected him, however, when beasts attacked him, they will always attack his vitals. Yang Dao had already started circulating his spirit energy and moved to the side with the help of his quickstep art.
Quickstep art was a set of mysterious footsteps, that made the body move lightly and quickly. It was also called, Light Body techniques by people. Yang Dao had a technique that was called, holy beast step. He did not know how this technique came from but it was all inside his memories ever since he was a child.
...
Atsuji Kurogame stood overlooking verdant greens in the dao palace, and a smile emerged on his old face, he mumbled, "Hope you use the gift to the best of its capabilities, Master."
The skills inside Yang Dao's mind were something he had sneaked inside without telling him. These skills were all made by the four spirit familiars. They all agreed to the impartation before Yang Dao left.
...
Yang Dao had jumped to the side when he sensed a strong pain coming from his shoulders. The attack had landed on his left shoulder. The attacking steward was shocked, he did not expect Yang Dao to escape his blow. He could not figure out what happened, when he regained his senses and found a boy holding his arm, with a smug smile on his lips. The man understood that he has been pitted.
The person wanted to attack again when he sensed a strong grip around his neck. A cold voice sounded, "Siqian, you attacked the master. You are sentenced to death."
Jill was about to twist his neck when Yang Dao said, "Wait."
