YM778.TV Chapter 485 - Cupid.
Yang Dao sat in front of Amil, while the latter looked at him in a daze. When Yang Dao told him what was his idea, he did not expect it to be something like this. He was even doubting if this guy was a child and not an old ancestor of some family appearing to be young.
The Dao Child saw Amile sitting in a daze and asked, "Hello, Senior Brother Amil. Do you understand what I said?"
Amil snapped out of his daze and said, "Will it work? Are you sure?"
Yang Dao squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think after I am done she will be as good as yours? Do not think too much. That will be just the starting point. The first thing you need to do is to raise your cultivation level and also, comprehend the seed of weapon intent as to not look like a loser in front of her. I will lose face if you fell behind. Do you understand?"
Amil nodded and said, "Very well, let us begin."
Yang Dao nodded and the two initiated the plan to get Amil the girl he likes. The young boy stood up and they sparred with each other, holding nothing back. The attacks were fast and decisive. Yang Dao needed to hone his command on the sword intent so he did not flex and at the same time, the sensation sent out by his intent gave Amil some ideas.
Yang Dao said, "What is the halberd? What thought do you have when you wield it? Focus on those thoughts." his voice was like a lamp in the dark, showing the way to Amil.
The boys forgot about what was going on around them as they indulged in battle. They had been fighting inside the cave and did not notice that the walls were riddled with the leftover impacts of their attacks. They stopped only when they were to run out of their spirit essence reserves. Amil was surprised that Yang Dao was able to keep up with him, who is five minor realms higher than the latter.
Yang Dao did not care about it because he was aware that even if Amil noticed his peculiarities he will not dare to oust him. If he did then the plan Yang Dao made for him will not be executed and it will backfire. He put aside everything and began to condense spirit essence to revive his strength back to the peak.
...
Two days passed just like that, and a calm voice was heard outside the cave when the two people had finished their sparring, "Amil."
Elder Perseus came to take Yang Dao out. The boys wiped the sweat on their foreheads and walked outside the cave. The two bowed to the energetic middle-aged man. Perseus noticed a few changes inside Amil and nodded. He said, "Dao, would you like to go out or stay here to practice?"
Yang Dao said, "I will go outside elder, I have a few things to take care of."
Perseus nodded and Yang Dao walked over to him, Amil gazed at the boy, who winked at him in reassurance. Perseus placed his hand over Yang Dao\'s shoulder and the two people vanished. The next moment they appeared outside the big red doors.
Yang Dao exchanged a few words with the elder and then left the war master hall. He did not go far but skipped his way inside the weapon master hall. He asked someone to find Shakti. He was told that the girl has finished her daily cultivation and had retired to take a rest. He made his way to her courtyard and found a lady standing at the doors of the courtyard.
The lady gave off an aura of the nascent soul cultivator. She did not look old but Yang Dao could guess that her age was not young. He cupped his fist and said, "Senior, Is senior sister shakti inside?"
The lady opened her eyes and was surprised to see such a cute boy wearing stylish robes calling her sister. She was not a member of the sect but she still had some knowledge of the system here. She asked, "Who might you be, Young Master?"
Yang Dao smiled softly and said, "I am Yang Dao. Senior Sister Shakti knows me."
The lady nodded and was about to say something when a calm yet cold voice sounded from the inside of the courtyard, "Dao, come in."
Yang Dao nodded to the lady and walked inside with a smile on his face. Inside the courtyard, Shakti was sitting on a hassock gazing at him. She asked, "How come the quasi sword grandmaster took time to come here?"
Yang Dao smiled and said, "I missed you too, senior sister." His smile was charming enough to melt mountains let alone a girl.
Shakti asked, "What is your purpose?"
Yang Dao said, "I came to ask you if my sister doing alright? She is not troubling you too much, is she? You tell me, I will help her." he put on an expression as if he was the elder brother and Yue Jing was the younger sister.
Shakti found him funny but did not show it on her face. She replied, "Yes, she is a good student. What else?"
Yang Dao nodded and sat down in front of her as he said, "Well, she will not be able to maintain this for long. Her father is trying to her matched with someone."
Shakti raised her eyebrow, and asked, "Who?"
Yang Dao replied casually, "Amil Grande." his eyes were locked at Shakti\'s eyes, and found that there was a hint of fluctuation in those big crystal eyes, though she hid it directly.
Shakti nodded and reverted back to her cold self. Yang Dao sighed and continued, "If only my sister was strong enough to put her thoughts in front of the elders of the family. They would not have taken this step, but well, Senior brother Amil made up for that."
Shakti commented, "Yes, he should accept this. Yue Jing is a good girl."
Yang Dao was surprised and said, "You are completely wrong." he dramatized the fact
Shakti looked at him with askance filling her eyes to the brim. The boy smiled and said, "Senior Brother Amil said, he has someone else in his heart. So, big sister Jing is saved."
Shakti nodded and said, "Who is so unfortunate to have been fancied by that weakling?"
Yang Dao stood up and said, "What do you mean weakling?"
"I mean, Amil. He is a weakling. He cannot even stand my blows, what will he achieve in his life?" said Shakti.
The boy replied, "You cultivated two years ahead of him, you have a higher martial practice as well. Are you not being hypocritical here? Also, do you think a strong man will look back at the woman, who discarded him when he needed her? What do you know, maybe he would have risen even sooner. Attitude is fine, but only a woman who stays with a man, when he has nothing is worthy to be by his side when he has it all, and vice versa."
Shakti was shocked by this and Yang Dao continued, "A man will stay true to his emotions when it comes to the girl they like, even if they are asked to act like a dog when they truly love her they will do it. But as the person receiving all this, she must not let him lower his head and become his pride. You will not understand all this, you are a brawn for brains. Or a stone for a heart?"
He mumbled about which metaphor was correct and walked around, sneakily observing the situation from the side. His words did have an effect on Shakti and it was all thanks to the dao resonance he let out driven by a strong desire to play Cupid.
He said, "I thought Senior Sister, you, were someone who understood these things. You know, my father was weaker than my mother, however, he still staked his life to rescue her, and then she asked him to defeat everyone as she stood by his side and that was when he made his name known. If a woman seeks strength in her partner and nothing else, then would the man not think that she will leave him for a man stronger than him? And if you look at the world\'s strongest man, will he be lacking partners?"
After successfully guiding Shakti, the boy did not wake up from his daze and bade her farewell. The rest was up to Amil Grande. The lady standing outside was shocked at his words and came forward to thank him. Yang Dao asked what was this about and the lady told him her identity. She was Shakti\'s guardian in the sect and had seen him grow from a toddler. She has always been worried about the little girl closing her emotions.
Yang Dao smiled and waved it off as he walked away in swagger. Shakti woke up from her daze and said, "This little kid, he surely knows his ways."
She was not a fool to not figure out what Yang Dao was doing. She mumbled, "Aunty Margot, please sent a message to Amil Grande, I would like to challenge him to a spar."
