The three people got off the car and Yang Dao sighed, "You sure have a good sense of value for money, sister Yun."

Feng Yun smiled. She knew that Yang Dao was talking about the house. The last time he came here was in the night and left to accompany Feng Yun in the morning. He could not admire the beauty of this place completely. The faint fragrance in the air, the colorful scenery. He liked it a lot. Laohu Bai said, "Young Master, do you want to rest or do you want to learn first?"

Yang Dao said, "Learn first. How about we sit in the garden pavilion? The weather is not too cold, and the sky is clear as well."

Feng Yun nodded as she placed an arm around his shoulder and said, "Yes, I was about to say this. Come, let's go to the pavilion."

The three people walked up around the house and came to the back garden, where a big white marble pavilion was built. Inside the pavilion, a mahogany set of four chairs and a tea table were placed. At this moment, a maid was wiping dust off the furniture. Yang Dao spoke to Feng Yun in a low voice, "Sister Yun, you have such diligent staff, yet you keep them all scared. This is not fair."

Feng Yun sighed and said, "Young master, I want to be warm as well, but these guys might just ride over my head. What will I do then?"

Yang Dao said, "Why is it that every Elementalist I have seen has a temperament corresponding to the element they practice, but you guys are all opposite?" he spoke in an aggrieved tone.

Tyberius Old man had a wild and free persona like the wind, Lin had a calm and strong character like water, Talen was sturdy and firm in his nature like earth. Victor was warm and nice to everyone, like a fire in the cold. Kaya was bubbly but sharp. Yet Laohu Bai was unlike the Earth, she was all naughty and moody. Feng Yun was ice cold to the others.

This was something he did not understand. He wanted to ask them both about this for a long time, and only now did he get the opportunity and the excuse to. Laohu Bai said, "I will explain this to you, young master."

Yang Dao nodded. The explanation will start after they sit down in the pavilion. Lisa heard someone approach and turned back. She was startled to see Feng Yun. Immediately stopped her work and stood up with a bow. The boy sighed when he saw this. He took the lead to speak, "Miss Lisa, you can complete your work, do not worry about anything."

Lisa looked at Feng Yun, who nodded to her. The little maid bowed to express gratitude and quickly finished dusting the last chair. Yang Dao said, "Miss Lisa, can you bring us some tea can cookies?"

Lisa nodded with a faint smile and left. Laohu Bai said, "Young master, why do I think that your emotional quotient worked just fine right now?"

Yang Dao stuck out his tongue to her as he replied, "Boo, you don't get to judge as your EQ is impaired itself." his words made the white-haired girl freeze while Feng Yun started laughing.

They did not expect Yang Dao to come back at her so viciously. Laohu Bai immediately made a grabbing gesture toward the boy, who moved and dodged her hands. He said, "Sister Yun, she is bullying me." as he hid behind Feng Yun.

Feng Yun said, "Xiao Bai, it is okay. He was joking with you. Come teach him about the third stage."

After the black-haired girl played the peacemaker, they sat down on the chairs inside the pavilion. Laohu Bai said calmly, "The third stage is called Elemental Contractor. In this stage, you sense the source energy present in an element. Then you channel that energy inside your body. Once you successfully do that, you swear to not use the energy attained from the source energy for any sort of harm and dark things. Once this is done, you are officially a contracted Elementalist."

Yang Dao replied, "Source energy, Sister Yun told me about it last time. I will first try to make the air bend and then I will step on to the third stage." then he glanced outside the pavilion. The two ladies saw he was not too hasty in his cultivation and were satisfied. They nodded as they exchanged a glance. Soon, Lisa came pushing a trolley, with an exquisite tea set placed on it.

The maid served the tea, Feng Yun signaled her not to disturb Yang Dao, who was lost in the scenery. Lisa nodded and performed her task. Laohu Bai said in a low voice, "Young Master, what is it?"

Yang Dao replied to her, "Nothing, just thinking about what product to develop next. Probably a mobile OS. Sister Yun, What do you think?"

Feng Yun thought for a bit and said, "Young Master, the idea is good, but a mobile phone OS, will take a lot of apps and software to make a full virtual eco-system. No?"

Yang Dao nodded and said, "We make a mobile phone market, ask the developers in the world to develop and upload their apps on that market. That will support the app system. Almost all the apps in the smart store can be used on every phone. We will just provide them with an optimized OS."

Feng Yun nodded, her eyes shined, she said, "This might work. I will have your general manager deal with it."

The boy smiled and picked up his cup of tea. He took a sip and said with a sigh, "Good tea."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "It is a credit to Lisa. She made the tea."

Yang Dao glanced at the maid, who stood on the side, with a timid expression on her face. He said, "Thank you, Miss Lisa."

Lisa shook her hand and waved her hands. Yang Dao chuckled at her cute look. He suddenly thought of something and asked, "Sister Feng Yun, How about we use Miss Lisa as a virtual assistant avatar? She will be perfect."

Lisa was shocked, the other two were surprised. Laohu Bai asked, "Do you have a mobile assistant already ready?"

Yang Dao shook his head as he said, "Not yet, but soon."

Feng Yun asked the maid, "Lisa, would you like to be an avatar model?" her voice was not cold, but soft."

Lisa looked down on the floor, as Feng Yun continued, "You know it is a good opportunity?"

The girl nodded and used sign language. She was asking Feng Yun if she could continue working here even after signing the contract with Yang Dao.

Feng Yun smiled and said, "Okay, you can stay here and work."

Lisa bowed to her in thanks and after everyone was done drinking tea, she left with the cups. Yang Dao asked, "Why is she so adamant to stay here?"

Feng Yun spoke with a sigh, "She was a rescue from New Dawn. Her voice used to be very melodic, but those bastards. They ruined her voice forever. She always tells everyone that she was born with it, but that is not correct. She is a fine young woman, but because of her hoarse voice, she acts like a mute. She is afraid that everyone will shun her that is why she came up with that story that she is born mute from birth. her parents were all killed by the New Dawn bastards. After some rehabilitation, she set off on the path to regular life."

Yang Dao felt even sadder in his heart. He did not expect such a pretty girl to have such a harsh past. He realized she wanted to stay here not because of anything else but because she feels safe here. He said, "It would be nice for her to go out and see the world."

Laohu Bai shook her head and said, "The people surviving the New Dawn traps are all vulnerable to have a mental breakdown when they are exposed to the world. We have tried several times, but the induction never works well. These people all develop a stigmatic brain of not trusting anyone completely, and the constant paranoia that someone is about to drag them back to that place just makes this thing a lot more difficult. Lisa is one of those who have adjusted in a regular life comparatively better to those who are living inside the mental asylums."

Yang Dao did not know that the New Dawn was so terrible and so strong. He ground his teeth and then he sighed. Suddenly his cellphone buzzed. He picked it up and saw it was Yurika calling. The call connected and an upset voice sounded, "You left just before I came? Do you not want to see me anymore?"

Yang Dao held his forehead and said, "Do you want me to call, Sister Tina, and tell her, you are playing the mellow drama card on me to avoid the orphanage duties?"

Yurika shrieked on the call, but before her loud voice could affect Yang Dao he had already placed the phone on the table and a voice sounded out, "DAO, YOU BETTER HELP ME COME BACK EARLY. THESE KIDS ARE difficult TO HANDLE. DID YOU HEAR ME? OYE DAO... DAO... AARRGGHHH YOU WAIT FOR ME TO COME BACK, I WILL SPANK YOUR TUSHY."

The call hung up and Yang Dao shook his head, while the two women finally let go of the restraints and started laughing at the warning Yurika issued.
