The Urban Dao Child.

Chapter 369 - Blending.

Yang Dao walked back to the orphanage with Lisa in tow. The couple was silent throughout the hike. It was already lunchtime when they came back, and the children all were waiting for them at the entrance. As they saw Yang Dao walking over, they all cheered. 

The boy stopped as he saw the scene and said, "Lisa, do you think you are stuck in those scenes you have been trained for in the machine?" 

Lisa nodded. Her face seemed to have become paralyzed as soon as she woke up from the training. Even if the whole scene was something she did not go through physically but she was very affected by it. Yang Dao said, "Have you diluted curd with water?" 

Lisa nodded hard. She had spent a lot of time in the kitchen and had her fair share of marination and stuff. The boy said, "Look at these kids. Think of them as curd and you are the water. Tell me, how do you blend the water? Speak." 

The reason he asked her to speak was that Lisa was using her head to communicate in yes or no. He did not like it. It was all that simple. Lisa took a deep breath and said, "You pour curd in a bowl, then you pour water over it depending on the need while stirring the curd." 

Yang Dao nodded with a smile and said, "You need to know that the blending must be done slowly but thoroughly to ensure that no lumps are forming. Correct?" 

Lisa nodded and said, "Yes, Master." 

That said, the boy started walking towards the children. Lisa stood gazing at his back and mumbled, "The curd is stirred slowly, master, humph." Suddenly she realized something. After waking up from the training, she sensed as if she was devoid of emotions. She did not feel anything even when Yang Dao killed people in front of her. However, just right now, the boy mentioned the wrong step for diluting the curd. She felt wronged. 

She was trained to handle such things in the kitchen. This made her surprised, how easily Yang Dao evoked her emotions. Thinking of this, a faint smile also surfaced on her face as she walked inside the orphanage. 

...

The kids went inside the orphanage and the four people in the room were dealing with things in a daze. When they came inside the room, they found that the four people were beaten half-inch to death. They were surprised by how Yang Dao managed to keep them alive. Kaya said, "They have a strong earth source energy coursing through their bodies, that is why they are alive, however, the body is not absorbing it. Only a minimal amount. I do not know why?" 

Lin said, "The realm of the Elemental King?" her voice was low but the tremor she set off was so high that the other three were silent. 

Victor asked, "Did he not master the wind element?" 

Kaya sighed and said, "This monster has multiple element control. General Bai told me so." in a low voice. 

Talen spoke in a daze, "No wonder, Lisa said that I am not a match for him anymore." 

Victor chuckled and said, "We were no match for him like even when he was a trainee." after a sigh they began to complete the tasks they had on their hands. The task was to escort these four people to a place of endless agony. 

... 

Back at the orphanage, Yang Dao was sitting in the garden basking in the glow of the setting sun. Lisa also sat beside him, but she was not vacant. The girls in the orphanage liked her very much and were playing games with her. 

Lisa also recalled how Yang Dao had told her to blend in with the crowd to evoke her emotions, and that was what she did. The mistake made by the boy in telling her how to dilute the curd seemed to have become real. 

The reason he asked Lisa to do it fast was that if she did not blend the two moods, then she will have a lumpy behavior. That will affect her performance as his secret card. Lisa was the least bothered about the fact that she was being used by Yang Dao. 

As far as she was concerned, the boy had given her a lot of things that she never imagined. She was aware that it was Feng Yun who healed her voice, but the reason was Yang Dao. Her education, her skills, and now even the strength she had were all because of him. So, even if Yang Dao was to ask her to strip naked on the street, she will not hesitate.

The boy was leaning back on his elbows when he sensed a light pat on his shoulder. He turned and found a boy looking at him while scratching the back of his head. Yang Dao asked, "Cao, what is the matter?" 

Cao was a sixteen years old boy and was in his final year of middle school. He was an average student and often would ask someone to guide him with essay sections. Today Yang Dao was here, so he asked, "Big Brother, can you tell me why did Nautico stand between the two armies during the battle of tryst?" 

Yang Dao smiled and said, "Who was the enemy Nautico faced?" 

Cao replied, "Dominar, his stepbrother." in a quick reflex. 

Yang Dao shook his head, "Every war is fought with your allies to back you up. What Nautico wanted to do was to analyze the strong and weak links in Dominar's forces. Thus, he came to stand in the middle of the battlefield. He did this because analyzing only his enemy was not enough, but he needed to look at his force as well.

The center of the battlefield shows the neutral point of balance. From where everything is equally distant and can be analyzed correctly. To deal with a troublesome situation, one must analyze every aspect of it." 

Cao suddenly said, "Okay good, now I will complete the rest of the essay, thank you." and he rushed back to deal with his work. 

Yang Dao shook his head with a smile. Suddenly it came to him that he has not analyzed the New Dawn completely.. This thought made him think, and a smirk appeared on the corner of his lips.
