Laohu Bai walked up to him and asked after calming her down, "Dao, did you justprehended thews."
Yang Dao raised his head and said, "Only half of it. I need to read more to refine myprehension of the light. Then we go to experience life in the Kingdom of The Dark. Only then can Ipletelyprehend thews." ??
His voice carried a subtle etherealness to it. He was not aware of it, but Laohu Bai could sense the Dao resonance from his actions. She heard his words and nodded. Yang Dao said, "I am hungry." he blinked his eyes and his pupil returned to normal.
Laohu Bai smiled and said, "I had the people prepare food for you earlier. Come, let us go in." she took his hand and the two people walked in.
Yang Dao said, "Baibai, why do I see a slight glowing from your eyes?" he was confused by this sort of vision.
At first, he thought it was because of theprehension of thews, and the entire world looked monotonous to him. However, after he controlled the pupils to return to normal, he could see that everything around him radiated a slight glow. Especially the eyes of the people. He spotted the same glow from the eyes of the guards at the pce entrance.
Laohu Bai smiled and replied, "Innate skills of the Dao Child. Eyes of Dao. When a Dao Childprehends their first set ofws, they unlock this skill. This eye prowess allows one to see through the people''s hearts and souls.
For instance, if you want to find out why a criminalmitted a crime, these eyes can help you look into his soul and find the answer. However, since you have not yetprehended theplete set, you can only see a dim glow. It will recede in a few minutes."
Yang Dao nodded and walked with his hands behind his back. Laohu Bai had ced a barrier around them and to the people, they were only walking silently. He said, "Baibai it is a nice skill. I will definitely master it before the trip ends."
The white-haired girl nodded to him. Soon, under the lead of a maid, who had met them at the pce entrance, they arrived at the dining hall. The hall was luxurious and grand. A white marble table, enough to have twenty people sit and eat, was ced in the center of the hall. Above the table, a crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling.
The table was apanied by white chairs with golden trims on them. Yang Dao saw a beautiful girl standing as they entered the dining hall. Laohu Bai said, "Young Master, this is Her Majesty, Glow. The queen of the kingdom of light."
Then she said, "This is my Young Master. His given name is Yang Dao."
Yang Dao took a step forward and bowed slightly to Glow as he said, "Pleased to meet you, your majesty."
Glow was overwhelmed when she saw this handsome Youngman. He was obviously higher than her in terms of superiority, but he still bowed to her in greeting. This was giving her face. So she quickly gathered her thoughts and was about to kneel when a strong wind lifted her body. She heard Yang Dao''s voice, "You are a representative of your whole nation. Do not kneel so easily. Also, I am not veryfortable with the prostrations. So, can we skip it?"
The queen was overwhelmed. She nodded and said, "I apologize, My Lord." after a pause she gestured him to the head position at the table.
The boy shook his head and said, "I am just a guest so, I will sit on the other spot." with that said, he gestured for the queen to sit down first. Then he pulled a chair and said, "Baibai." while he beckoned her to sit.
The white-haired girl smiled and sat down on the chair. She said, "Thank you, Young Master."
Yang Dao smiled and sat down in his own chair. He had picked this habit of pulling the chair of a femalepanion from the books he read. His action indeed made a few maids and the queen feel the need for a chivalrous man in their lives.
Yang Dao sat downst and they ate. Glow asked, "Is the food, to your liking, Lord?"
When has Dao ever raised his head from the dishes to reply to others? He nodded as he gorged on the food. Laohu Bai said, "He likes it. Since he is eating like that. Do not worry, please continue eating."
Her words were calm, but her face was indifferent to the queen. The people ate contently and stood up from the table. Glow said, "Lord, your residence has been arranged. Would you like to rest now?"
Yang Dao shook his head and said, "I would like to read the Chronicles first. As for my resident. Please have a chair set up in a pavilion. I like the open air." His words surprised the queen a bit, but it was just momentary. She quickly nodded and led the boy to the center of the pce.
...
In the center of the pce, a book wasid, with dust umted on it. The book was ced on a stone stand. However, it was left unprotected. Yang Dao was about to ask when Glow spoke up. "This is the chronicle of the realm. This one records the activities of the emissary of the heavens inside the kingdom of light. This book can only be touched by an Emissary himself. Thus we could never move it to other ces and as for security. The book is indestructible, some forces have tried it already but they could not even scratch the covers."
Laohu Bai said, "You can leave. Arrange for none of the people to disturb the Young Master when he reads the chronicle." the queen nodded and retreated.
The white-haireddy waved her hand and formed a barrier around themselves. She stood beside Yang Dao as the boy blew off the dust from the book and turned the cover with ease. He started reading and his speed did not slow down.
He gradually lost himself in the book, as he imagined the things his predecessors did by cing himself in their shoes. Soon, he found the ws they made in their decisions. The chronicle was a long record from the past, so how could it be finished reading in just one day?
Yang Dao lost the sense of time. He was alternating his time between reading andprehension. Laohu Bai stood behind him, protecting him in full vignce. She has never let her guard down here. It was not like someone can attack Yang Dao, but if the imbnced people really tried and hurt Yang Dao. The realm would copse.
These imbnced people were the biggest threat inside the sacred realm. Laohu Bai was looking around and did not know what was she thinking about.
...
Feng Yun was sitting in her office dealing with some work when she suddenly raised her head and looked at the horizon. She said, "Dao, overcame the first trial." a smile appeared on her face. She looked down and continued working. As a Familiar, they could sense Yang Dao''s growth. Just like her, the other two also realized that Yang Dao had improved.
...
While the three familiars outside were acting happy, Orion was making his way toward an altar. This altar was actually the ce where the ashes of the old queens were buried. The minister woulde here daily to pay his respects to the old queen. The reason was that she was his wife and Glow, was their daughter.
He came to the altar and ced a white flower in front. He said, "Miko, the emissary of heavens has arrived. Finally, we have hope of fulfilling your dream to end the war and, along with it, the dark kingdom.
Those barbaric people will suffer the wrath of Light. Do not worry, I will avenge you, and then I will tell our daughter about us."
In his eyes, a flicker of madness was clear. However, it was quickly suppressed. The minister, revered by the people of the kingdom, had be imbnced. Inside his heart, the bright radiance of light had given birth to the shadiest darkness.
...
Yang Dao sat cross-legged as he was reading the book. Suddenly, his body trembled and his body gave off a dim glow. Laohu Bai was watching this scene and smiled. She sighed and mumbled, "Good speed. I hope you can learn about darkness soon as well. Dao."
After a few minutes, the dim glow receded, and the boy opened his eyes. He stood up with his sparkling eyes and asked, "How many days?"
"Five," said Laohu Bai.
He has beenprehending thew of light for five days. Finally, today he finished it. Yang Dao nodded and said, "Let us go. Have some food, take a shower, and then we go to the kingdom of the dark."
Laohu Bai nodded, and they moved to the courtroom to find Glow.
