Heavenly Dao Child 229 Cultivator's Market Part-1

Ryuu stood as he portrayed a confident look as he recalled the entire event that occurred inside the 'Nether realm grotto', although he may have a calm look on his face but his legs were shaking uncontrollably, his nerves were failing him, as all the cultivators present were paying their undivided attention to him asking him questions, he was afraid he would mess up or he would forget to mention something important.

As Ryuu finished his retelling of everything the cultivators broke into serious debates discussing everything, as one of them spoke, "Child I would like to applaud you for saving the lives of so many juniors by risking your life."

Ryuu simply gave a small bow as he spoke, "Thank you for your kind words senior but I simply fulfilled my duty."

Batrykhan: "Thank you recalling your experience Junior Ryuu, you may take your seat now, I hope the documents procured by Ayindril will be able shed some light into the matter, I hope to find out how they are being able to enter into our realm before a bigger tragedy erupts. Well I do not think anyone has any question so you may resume your precious nap again."

Ryuu turned red with embarrassment as he gave quick bow as he made his way to his seat on the way back he received a glare from Antariskh.

A few hours later the meeting was over as they left the room Ryuu stifled a yawn as Antarikh growled in anger at that as she spoke, "Really even after you almost slept through the entire ordeal you are still feeling sleepy."

Ryuu gave a goofy smile as he spoke, "How did yo…"

Antariskh snapped back at him as he was about to speak, "Be silent, how do you think I would not notice anything, how dare sleep through the entire meeting like that."

Ryuu protested against it as he spoke, "But I did not sleep too much and moreover it was boring."

Antariskh snarled back at him as she spoke, "I brought you here to teach you something yet you were sleeping during the entire time without the care in the world, the meetings are held for a reason child, just because you find it to be boring does not mean you can act as you want, moreover have you thought how dishonorable your act was, and you two were sitting by his side why did you not wake him up."

Shamiran sighed as she spoke, "Come on sis he is but a child."

Antariskh spun around as she glared at her sister angrily as she spoke, "Is he just a mere child from any run of the mill family under some no name teacher's tutelage? No he is not he is not only our parents' student but also our family as such where ever he goes he will have high expectations for him, our parents and even Ryuu's late mother may have coddled him allowing him to be carefree, but the world is not so forgiving and he is not a mere 15year old child but a 6th ranked Void Immortal, he will have to act accordingly. No matter what my parents say I will not tolerate him besmirching Ayindril's reputation because of his silliness he is strong cultivator and he should act as such."

Shamiran sighed at that as Ryuu spoke meekly the voice and eyes full of disappointment, "But I did not want to be here at the first place."

Antariskh's glare shifted from Shamiran to Ryuu as she spoke, "And it would matter why? In order to survive in our world you have to know other things beside cultivating and fighting, you have to learn how to negotiate and make deals sometimes and today you made a very poor impression on others, did you know only because they regard our parents, your teachers in high regard that they simply waved it off in another place and another time they would have the right to demand your head for such an audacity.", by then Ryuu found the ground very appealing to the point he began to wish the ground to open up and swallow him whole, but Antariskh did not provide him any respite as she kept speaking, "As for as you did not want to come, why would it matter, who are you to decide something about what you want and what you do not want, there are plenty of times we are forced to act and do something as much as we do not like, we cannot say 'sorry I am bored'"

Ryuu never felt so ashamed of himself seeing that Sylvana hugged him as she spoke soothingly in his ears, "Aww do not be sad Ryuu, we all make mistakes and let me tell you what the meetings are indeed boring and let me confess to you I have slept through many of them.", Ryuu looked at her with awe.

Antariskh snorted at that as she spoke, "But unlike him you are stronger than most of the cultivators bar a handful, and even you will sleep they will not be able to catch you."

Antariskh sighed at that as she spoke, "Look at me brother", but Ryuu did not have heart to look at her so she forcibly grabbed him making him look at her as she spoke, "Ryuu I am telling you this because I worry about you, there are many time when you have to deal with things such as this, I just want you to prepare you when your time comes you will not be caught flatfooted and suffer defeat, Ryuu if you do not learn this things today there will come a day and you may get cheated and you are a cultivator and the world of cultivation is all about patience which you lack a lot, people spend years to increase a single rank in their cultivation sometimes some people spend decades to centuries to advance a single rank in a closed door cultivation, in fact I myself have spend over a thousand years as such you are fortunate Ryuu you have yet to spend so much time, but if you lack patience your cultivation will come to a halt. If you feel bored now then what will you do during closed door cultivation?"

Ryuu was stunned at that as he spoke barely a whisper, "I am sorry big sister next time I will behave properly."

Antariskh simply tousled his hair as she spoke with a smile, "How about this brother, after we go back to our palace and you have freshened up, we will go and visit the market ad spend some time amongst us. Oh and on another note you did well while describing your ordeal back then I am proud of you."

Ryuu smiled brightly at that as he spoke with a smile, "hehe it is nothing much."

Although the currently they put the incident in the back of his mind as he smiled brightly but Ryuu was in fact ashamed of himself but hid it for now, he would try to clear his mind by visiting the market as wellas maybe play some games in the carnival he was really looking forward to it.
