Heavenly Dao Child - Chapter 517

“Ah, young Cezary, how are you and your family?”

Cezary cupped his hand as he bowed in front of Maheswara as he spoke, “They are fine by your blessings grandpa.”

Maheswara gave him a small smile as he invited him to take a seat near him as they engaged in some small talk when they were interrupted by Celestia’s arrival.

“A grandnephew it has been a while.”

Cezary gave a nod as he spoke, “It has been, grandma, so how have you been?”

“I am fine and so what brings you today to our house is it about the inquiry?”

Cezary shook his head as he spoke, “The inquiry has finished and I would begin working again after being cleared of all suspicion but the reason for my visit is because I wanted to invite Ryuu to go to a tomb exploration.”

Maheswara’s eyes sparkled with curiosity as he spoke, “So whose tomb is it?”

Cezary shrugged as he spoke, “It was actually my friend who found about it and though I do not know the name of the cultivator, but I know he should be at the upper level of Celestial realm as such I was asking if brother Ryuu is available to help us.”

Maheswara gave a nod as he spoke, “Ah, I understand you want someone to help you with arrays and what not, I perfectly understand but currently Ryuu is busy elsewhere with a very urgent task as such I cannot promise if he can go or not, but at least I can guarantee that he will contact you as soon as he is able though whether if he will go or not will depend on him entirely.”

Cezary gave a bow as he spoke with a smile on his face, “Grandpa, a week from today we will have our first meeting at the ‘Hungry Snake Tavern’ in Kitanu System, it would be great if brother Ryuu is able to make some time to visit there so he can meet others and discuss about it.”

Celestia gave a nod as she spoke, “Sounds like a splendid idea, I will inform him immediately but he is very busy with the something extremely urgent so please forgive him if he cannot make time.”

Cezary waved his hand as he spoke, “No no it is fine, though I would be a bit more relaxed if I have brother Ryuu watching my back, he helped my little sister so much I am forever grateful to him, if It were not for him my sister would have either died or would have ended up becoming a demonic cultivator, but he managed to save her when we as her family failed.”

Maheswara simply gave a pat on his back as Cezary felt his bones rattle as Maheswara continued to speak, “Cezary, Ryuu was simply lucky, just put yourself in your sister’s shoes, to her even if you were concerned you would not understand what she was feeling whereas Ryuu who was with her and suffered something eerily familiar just lend her his ears, as I said he was lucky otherwise he would have been of no help.”

Celestia gave a nod as she spoke, “My beloved is right grandnephew though I would also point out something does this incident has formed a knot in your heart.”

Cezary eyes widened for a moment before his shoulder slouched as he spoke, “Yes, you are right, you are absolutely right, when Zywia was born she was so small yet the most amazing thing that I have even seen, you know I was the one who named her, I am her big brother I promised that day that I would even move the Heaven’s itself to protect my baby sister but I her big brother failed, failed so miserably.”

Cezary’s face morphed into a look of anguish as he spoke, “When she was younger she used to follow me around trying to mimic me, she was so adorable but then I …I….”

As tears streamed from his eyes Maheswara drew him to a hug as he sent a telepathic message to Celestia, ‘Remove it you know how allergic I am to it, also he is already laying his heart out.’

Celestia gave a small nod as a certain incense stick that was near Cezary’s feet disappeared without Cezary being the wiser.

Meanwhile, a certain Celestial sneezed hard causing paperwork to fly away from him, causing Ryuu to nearly suffering a heart attack from seeing them get disorganized.

‘Oh no my hours of hard work went down the drain.’

Before he could weep at the unfairness of the world he heard a knock at his door as he quickly resumes his dignified position while the papers that had flown away quickly arranged back into the stack as he spoke in a sombre tone, “Come in.”

A messenger from Ayindril stepped into the room kneeling in front of him as he spoke, “Your Highness I have an urgent message from Ayindril.”

Ryuu’s face gained a frown as he spoke, “What is the message?”

The person handed him a jade slip which Ryuu touched on his forehead as a small smile blossomed on his face reading its contents as he spoke with a smile, “You may leave I have received the message.”

The figure bowed before disappearing from his sight as Yamamoto spoke with a curious tone on his voice, “Is there any reason for your sudden happiness.”

Ryuu looked at him as he spoke with a bright smile, “Ah brother Cezary sent me an invitation they will have a meeting on some form of tomb that they had discovered and are planning to explore.”

“I see so you will be leaving then.”

Ryuu gave an enthusiastic nod as he spoke, “Yes, I will definitely go to visit brother Cezary.”, his enthusiasm turned into a frown as he spoke, “Though whether I will have time to visit the tomb or not is another matter entirely.”

“I see, I hope that you will be able to visit the tomb along with them.”

It had been a few days since the Auction house incident and General Ye had left with a very important task, a task that His Majesty had given him to accomplish without fail.

“General Ye what can I do for you?”

General ye cupped his hand as he spoke, “Daoist Sister Yu Wu it has been a long time, how are you and your family?”

Yu Wu smiled at him as she spoke, “I am fine and same is for my family but what about yours?”

General Ye puffed his ċhėst with pride as he spoke, “just last week my granddaughter has recently given birth to my great-grandson.”

Yu Wu’s eyes widen as she spoke with a smile, “Oh my, that is wonderful news, congratulations General Ye for becoming a Great Grandfather.”

General Ye gave a small chuckle before he spoke with a serious tone in his voice, “Daoist Sister Yu Wu I come today on behalf of His Majesty and I seek audience with General Manager Ryuu.”

Yu Wu’s face gained a serious look as she spoke, “Is there any problem?”

General ye waved off her concern as he spoke, “No it is nothing serious, His Majesty wanted to invite General Manager Ryuu for lunch at his palace.”

Yu Wu gave a small gasp as she spoke, “Such a rare honor.”, before she gained a sad look on her face as she spoke, “Though I will have to disappoint His Majesty as General Manger Ryuu left at dawn due to an emergency and I do not know when he will be back.”

General Ye let out a small sigh as Yu Wu continued to speak, “But do not worry when he would arrive I would immediately get in touch with you and if His Majesty wills it General Manager Ryuu would be honored to accept the invitation.”

General Ye cupped his hands as he spoke, “Well thank you Daoist Sister Yu Wu, you have taken a huge burden off of my shoulders.”

Ryuu stepped into the ‘Hungry Snake Tavern’ as one of the waiters of the place greeted him, “Welcome Sir, how I may serve?”

Before Ryuu could reply a voice came from the other side of the room drawing his attention, “Brother Ryuu this way.”

A smile blossomed on Ryuu’s face as he caught sight of Cezary who was waving at him beckoning him towards his position.

Ryuu made his way towards him as he spoke while cupping his hand, “Brother Cezary it is good to see you again.”

Cezary gave him small smile as he spoke while cupping his hand, “Me too Brother Ryuu, me too now please take a seat.”

Ryuu gave a nod as he fell on the other occupants of the group as he spoke with a smile, “It is good to see you senior Ismene, Rudie, Leszek, Rasime, Hu, it has been a while.”, his eyes then travelled towards the other cultivators present as he spoke with a smile, “Also greetings to fellow Daoist please forgive me for I am unaware of your identity.”

Leszek frowned as he spoke, “I remember you, you are Ryuu and I met…”, his eyes widened with disbelief as he spoke, “Wait a minute brother Cezary we need people at Celestial realm but the last time I checked he was nowhere near it.”

Ismene giggled at his words as she spoke, “You are out of touch with the recent happenings brother, Ryuu is the hottest gossip as he is the youngest person to reach Celestial realm.”, her eyes then feel on Ryuu as she spoke with a smile, “Not only that but during his Eden excursion he wrought havoc within Preta realm cultivators wiping out their entire group single handedly.”

Ryuu frowned as he spoke, “It was their stupidity and their arrogance that caused their death but I ended up getting credit for it.”

Leszek gawked at him as he spoke, “I cannot believe it, and I hope you people are not pulling my leg.”

Ryuu slightly flared his KI as he spoke, “Will this suffice as proof.”

Leszek gave a dumbfounded nod as Ismene gave a reassuring pat on his back as she spoke, “I was in same state as you when my teacher informed me about it.”

Hu simply shook her head as she spoke, “How old are you again.”

“I am in my late seventies.”

Hu rubbed her temples as she spoke, “You are giving all your seniors bad name, you managed to become our equal at such a fast pace.”

Rudie gave a clap as he spoke, “We can discuss about it later though brother Leszek please introduce us with your acquaintances before we can discuss about this tomb.”

Leszek gave a nod as he introduced his acquaintances, “of course, the bald person in kasaya is Venkat, and the lady by his side is Amarezen and the man by her side is Haakon.”

Ryuu gave them a brief nod that was written back in kind as Leszek continued to speak, “Now Daoist Sister would you please tell us about it.”

Amarezen gave a nod as she spoke, “I would gladly inform you about it but please set up a barrier.”

“If I may.”, as Ryuu spoke others eyes fell on him as well as a few skeptical looks were sent towards his direction as Ryuu spoke with a sigh, “Let me show you my skills and you may judge me according to the results.”

With that, he took out a few talismans which he then casually let go and in front of their eyes the talisman seemed to disintegrate.

Venkat, who looked like a young monk, had his eyes open wide as he spoke in an appreciative tone, “I see not only your level but even your skills are exceptional.”, he then looked towards Amarezen as he spoke with a small smile on his face, “Please sister you may proceed this place is extremely secure he even took out the bugs that were eavesdropping on us.”

Rasime’s eyes widen as she spoke, “They were eavesdropping on us.”

Haakon shrugged as he spoke in a gruff voice, “Of course they are, this place is not as goody two shoes as it likes to portray, and if I am not wrong they will simply record our words as such they are difficult to detect because of their extremely low KI emissions.”

Ryuu simply smiled back at him as Amarezen spoke, “Then shall I begin..”, as she received multiple nods of acknowledgement Amarezan took out a painting that she spread in front of all of them.
