Heavenly Dao Child 185 Meeting an old acquaintance

Ryuu looked at the girl standing in front of him he had seen her before but he could not remember her until it hit him like a ton of bricks, "Are you Lu Wu from Hayakawa city?"

The 13 year old girl nodded happily at Ryuu as she spoke, "Yes big brother Ryuu I am glad you remember Lu Wu, it has been 3 years since I met you."

As Lu Wu spoke Ryuu's mind wandered off to another girl he met during his travel one who was the first to call him 'Big Brother', the one whom he failed to protect, 'Estelle', thinking about her made his heartache he shook his head freeing him from the depressing thought as he paid attention to the one standing in front of him.

Ryuu smiled back at her as he spoke, "Lu Wu how have you been and what about your family? Did both of you join any school?"

Lu Wu spoke with a beaming smile, "I have been fine big brother, as for my grandpa he has joined a mercenary squad while both my brother and I have joined different schools, he has joined the 'Immortal Guardian Academy' and as for myself I have joined the 'Frozen Immortal Convent.'"

Ryuu cracked a smile if he remembered correctly the girl in front of him had a divine body albeit much lower tiered compared to him and as per his sisters promise she has joined a school suitable for her.

Before they could speak again a woman approached them, bluish hair wearing an unblemished white robes with a white veil covering her mouth, her icy blue eyes seemed trying to pear through his soul a very powerful cultivator.

"Child may I inquire who is he?", she asked Lu Wu who send a happy smile at the newcomer as she introduced Ryuu to her, "Teacher he is big brother Ryuu whom I told you about before, the person who saved my family and I.", she turned to Ryuu as she spoke, "Brother she is my teacher 'Fairy Immortal Empress Frozen Flame'.", she finished with a smug look causing her teacher to roll her eyes in exasperation, while Ryuu simply smiled at her.

Ryuu simply turned towards the woman as he bowed to her, "This Junior greets Senior.", as he looked at the woman in front of him, from her Dao name he could easily deduce that the woman in front of him was a cultivator of 'Mystic Immortal' realm an entire realm above his deceased mother 'Xiao Xiao'.

The woman studied Ryuu as she spoke in a monotonous voice devoid of warmth, "Junior Ryuu, I wish to convey my gratitude for saving my disciple, I heard a lot about you how you have saved her family and have saved her from a fate worse than death."

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Senior I did what any other people would have done nothing more."

Before they could speak further a loud clap was heard as a grey haired person successfully managed to draw everyone's attention towards him.

"Greetings everyone my name is Lucius Laberius Ramio, I am the assistant overseer of the Planet Rogneron. Many of you might be aware of the reason so many of you have been gathered here most of you from different planets, even if you may know the reason for your arrival I would still love to remind you all that the reason you all have been for exploring the 'Nether realm Grotto.' Under the order from Her Majesty Herself, there has been many explorations inside it, but the main reason you all have been gathered here is because the previous explorations all the participants have only managed to explore the outer area even then not much because of various hazardous reasons which you will learn within this week, the most importantly you all are best of the best amongst all those below 40 years of age as such you will be able to enter it safely.", he took a deep breath as he continued again, "Inside this hidden space is a city which is the goal of this expedition till date no one has succeeding even getting near to the city let alone enter it, during a previous expedition a peak Level Wanxiang Adept tried only to meet a horrible end, some of you are our employees and the rest are associates both of you all are precious to us as such if you people get selected for the team that will try reaching the city I would advise you that if you do not feel comfortable you may decide to switch to team that will be exploring the outer areas, you may even leave if you feel as such no punishment nor anything unsavory will befall you I assure you that much."

As he paused from speaking one of the people present spoke rather rudely, "tch there is no need for wasting our time by speaking nonsense if someone is just a cowardly chicken let them leave."

Lucius only chuckled as he spoke jovially but had a certain edge in his tone, "Well youngsters confident reckless as such die young, but oh well let me do something other than wasting your oh so precious time."

Lucius cleared his tone as he spoke, "We will try to form teams during this period of time except the primary team which will be formed today, as such please make a line as we register you and check on your age and cultivation level accordingly we will form the primary team and the secondary, you may have noticed a token was given to you all upon your arrival except one of you. ", he glanced towards Ryuu as he was speaking indicating him as the one without token, "You all will be queuing according to it, and if anyone tries otherwise you will be dealt with accordingly.", he finished his sentence with a good healthy dose of killing intent causing most of the people shiver in fright as he turned towards Ryuu as he spoke, "Junior as you are last to arrive you will be the going last, now you all will be registering here and this thing here will measuring you age and cultivation, this stone steale was given to us for this purpose and no one will be allowed to enter any team without going through this is that clear."

He studied everyone seeing no one trying to say anything he spoke in a commanding tone, "You all may begin."

As they formed a queue Ryuu being at the last, but his mind was on another matter entirely, 'The hidden space found 300 years ago and has less than 10 expeditions inside it, who knows what we might find.'

He was broken out of deep thought by a tug on his clothes by curious Lu Wu, "Brother what are you thinking?"

Ryuu shook his head as he spoke, "Nothing Sister I was just thinking about what we might encounter within the city, but what about you, are accompanying someone who will be participating."

Lu Wu: "I am actually accompanying my senior sisters they are the one participating."

As they were speaking another person came near to them as she spoke in a melodious tone, "Oh and who might you be junior are friend of little Lu Wu."

Ryuu turned as he saw a silver haired woman who wore bluish robe with a veil covering her mouth, Lu Wu bowed towards her as she spoke, "Big Brother Ryuu, this is my martial aunt, 'Fairy Immortal Empress Frozen Sky', and aunty he is the person who saved me."

At that the person's eyes widened a little but before she could speak another shout came from the front, "Stop yapping about rules and what not finish with my registration.", an all too familiar voice spoke arrogantly at the people present causing many to frown.

Ryuu spoke with distaste, "What an arrogant fellow?"

"Gaius Petillius Florens, 36 years, 8th rank Wanxiang Adept", came an announcement from the people at the registration station.

As Ryuu spoke with Lu Wu and sometimes with her teacher and her Martial Aunt, a shout came causing Lu Wu to smile with happiness, "Alhma, 36 years, 2nd rank Primal Daoist.", the announcer's voice seemed impressed as Frozen Sky spoke haughtily, "That's my girl."

As people began discussing loudly about that what they heard most of them in awe and a select few with distaste out of jealousy specially the Gaius fellow being the most vocal of them all.

But what caused another sensation which was even greater than the previous one, "Aliyah, 36 years, 3rd rank Primal Daoist."

Again Frozen Sky looked happy which was shared by Frozen Flames as Lu Wu was gushing with happiness it seems that 'Frozen Immortal Convent', will be stealing the limelight.

Lu Wu turned towards Ryuu as she spoke, "Senior Sister Alhma and Senior Sister Aliyah are twins who are both disciples of my martial aunt, they are so cool one day I wish to be as good as them."

Ryuu nodded at that with a smile, as the twins came towards their location and was hugged by their teacher while frozen Flames just gave a pat on their back, they were sure that they will be into the primary team, as Lu Wu went and hugged them which they both returned with a smile.

As the queue moved further it seemed most of them were in Wanxiang Adept realm and a few were way past the required age and were tossed out of the room in a very humiliating manner.

Soon it was turn for Ryuu and from what it seemed Lucius did not seemed all that pleased and from what Ryuu had heard the basic requirement for approaching the city would involve a lot of flying as such anyone below Primal Daoist did not make the minimum requirement for being selected and currently only 2 made the cut.

The person sitting behind the stone steale spoke in a tired tone, "State your name."

Ryuu: "Ryuu."

The person quickly noted his name on a notebook he held in his hand as he spoke, "Now pour your Ki on this steale."

Ryuu simply put his hand on the stone steale and the person dropped his notebook as he turned pale rapidly bringing the attention of Lucius on him as he asked, "What happened Vel? Is something wrong?"

The person named Vel shakily raised his finger at the result which caused Lucius's eyes to widen as he mumbled out impossible over and over again, their reaction brought attention of everyone present on Ryuu.

Ryuu: "Is there any problem senior?"

Lucius: "Problem, how are you at the peak of Void Immortal level at 15 YEARS OF AGE!!!!", he shouted out loudly causing a pin drop silence to occur before the entire room erupted into cacophony of various shouts
