Heavenly Dao Child 220 Banquet of Ten Thousand Years

Nuwa made last minute check up on Ryuu's dress as she fixed his hair before she spoke with a smile to a pouting Ryuu, "Now you look perfect, I think it is time for us visit the banquet."

Ryuu nodded as he followed after his teacher, as they stepped outside they were greeted by Netik himself who had arrived to guide them, as they arrived all other members of Ayindril were already present there as he was chatting with Maheswara as they neared them Netik greeted Nuwa with a smile on his face, "Greetings Aunty, I hope your stay here has been pleasant."

Nuwa smiled back as she spoke, "Of course child, the arrangements you have made was outstanding."

As Netik cast a glance towards Ryuu he cupped his hands as he greeted him, "Greetings Senior."

Netik smiled at him as he spoke, "Ryuu please call me big brother, and your teachers are my parents' brother and sisters as such because of it you are in relation my brother now."

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "As you wish Big brother."

With that they were escorted to the banquet on a open air carriage driven by Netik himself, the carriage itself was a few dozens of feet up in the air, all the way towards the banquet Ryuu had his entire attention focused on the carnival going below as he took in to the sight.

There were a plethora of people who were busy laughing and talking as they moved from one place to another, children played with each other, some of the looked up as they watched them in complete awe. Ryuu winced at the loud sound produced by singing and dancing below, he created a thin film of KI over his ear to block of most of the noise.

Sylvana seeing this tapped on his shoulder as she spoke, "Do you not like their singing, Ryuu?"

Ryuu spoke with a frown, "NO on the contrary I am quite enjoying the song but unfortunately they are too loud for my liking."

Sylvana nodded in understanding she knew from her experience firsthand how loud this concerts can become sometimes.

Soon they reached their destination as they climbed down a servant arrived as he left with the carriage as the others went to join the banquet guided by Netik.

"Brother Mahes it has been a while.", came a loud voice, so loud in fact Ryuu felt his bones rattled, he watched with wide eyes as a giant of a muscular man full of muscles came in as he bear hugged Maheswara with all his strength, Ryuu winced at that, he knew for sure his master would definitely have a sore bone or two now.

Maheswara winced as he returned the hug as he spoke, "It certainly has been a while brother Caelcach."

Ryuu watched from the sidelines as more and more people came and greeted his teachers as well as his older sisters, he seriously hated such gatherings, where ever he went he was always alone satnding in a corner as he knew none amongst them.

Cezary had heard from his parents about 'Pangu' a lot, in fact he was like a super hero to him while growing up wanting to be like him as such when he had heard about 'Ryuu', whom his parents were calling him as his hero Pangu's legacy, how could he not make an acquaintance with him.

As such Cezary approached Ryuu with a smile as he spoke, "Greetings fellow Daoist my hope you remember my name, Daoist Ryuu."

Ryuu was excited that at least he did not have to wallow in self pity while standing alone as such he spoke with a smile, "Of course Senior Cezary, I remember you present along with other Seniors who came to welcome my teachers."

Cezary smiled as he spoke, "Yes, not to mention the 'incident' after that. I hope you are all right?", ending in a grimace.

Ryuu shuddered at the thought of the incident, "Of course how could I forget, such a powerful and senior cultivator tried to kill me, her killing intent even managed to stop my breathing, I have to thank my big sisters for protecting my life. But what about you Senior you were there as well?"

Cezary grimaced as he spoke, "I was lucky my mom and dad were nearby who protected me, and the killing intent even if it was focused on you it nearly made me catatonic as well, it was so not nice for her to act like that.", as he shuddered along with Ryuu."

Cezary then changed the topic as he spoke, "Well let us push back those incidents from your mind and focus on joyous occasion. But there is something I want to know I hope you would not mind Ryuu."

Ryuu just shook his head as he spoke, "I won't mind senior but what do you wish to know?"

Cezary: "How did you become such esteemed Seniors' disciple?"

Ryuu nodded at that as he spoke, "Well when I was about 5 years old, my family was attacked by some demonic cultivators, my mother was trying to escape with me and was greatly injured, and by pure chance one of my teachers happen to pass by and she rescued us and since then they took me as their student.", while speaking his mother's face flashed in front of his eyes as his breath hitched a bit.

Cezary nodded at that as he was about to speak, his attention was drawn to a group of people entering as his eyes widen as he spoke in a hushed yet hurried tone, "Ryuu she is here we should move closer to your teachers just in case."

Ryuu did not need to be told as he moved towards the person nearest to him which coincidentally was Maheswara, he placed himself in a way that he blocked the woman's line of sight.

Maheswara was curious at seeing his disciple's behavior, before he looked at the people who ahd just arrived as he drew Ryuu closer while placing a hand on his shoulder as he introduced Ryuu to his friend.

The moving mountain of a man, simply gave a small pat on Ryuu's back as he laughed, but it was enough for making Ryuu almost fall sprawling on the floor as he winced hard, 'What kind of person is he does he not know the meaning of the word restraint.'

Cezary had by then left his side, and as a curious Ryuu was studying the entire area only for his eyes to meet with the woman with a blood thirsty smirk causing his stomach to flip, only for the woman's gaze to flinch under the glare of Maheswara.

A loud sound was heard produced by a gong, bringing everyone's undivided attention to a richly dressed portly person who was hovering as few feet up in the air as he spoke, "Greetings my fellow Daoist Sisters and Brothers, I Rishit on behalf of my family would like to welcome you all as well as thank you for honoring our invitation, as such with further ado I wish for the 'Banquet of Ten Thousand Years' to begin.

Soon a very melodious sound of music entered Ryuu's ears, it was so soothing and calming that it was otherworldly the woman who was singing with the sound of a zither was the most beautiful thing ever heard by Ryuu as such he decided to savor the feeling with his eyes closed, suddenly he felt the gently breeze against his skin as he opened his eyes he was greeted by the scene of a very beautiful and picturesque scenery, the mountain draped in mist under the cool breeze where the sun rose gave him the feeling of a otherworldly beautiful looking fairy covering herself with a bed sheet made from finest and costliest of silk, was being gently awoken under the caress of the morning sun, as the mist moved like the cover being removed revealing herself for the whole world to see, as the river changed into a fall looked like a long silver hair as it touched the floor.

Ryuu suddenly felt his head being smacked by someone, suddenly he found himself standing inside the banquet hall as he turned to see who awoke him from such a sight he was greeted by Maheswara who simply was smirking at him as he spoke, "It is not good for you to get caught in such an illusion child, whatever you saw was because of her singing child."

Ryuu was flabbergasted at that as he thought, 'no way it was an illusion, but it felt so real I felt so at peace.'

Maheswara then pulled Ryuu gently along with him as he spoke, "Well I think we should make our way to a table for now."
