The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao nodded as he heard the name. Feng Yun behind him had eyes brimming with loath and disgust. She controlled her facial expressions, but her eyes, Yang Dao could read them like an open book. He did not say anything. After all, the flame originated from her, and when she saw these people, only looking at the domineering side of the flames This irked her to a new high. 

The reason why she did not say anything or express her ideas was that she was following her master to this place. A subordinate's behavior is often used to judge their higher-up. She did not want to be the stain on Yang Dao's image at any cost and thus she tolerated all this with an expressionless face. 

The Dao Child also did not say anything to her. Everyone had their perception. He decided to talk to her about this later when he was done with his first task. Dawn led the two people inside the palace building. 

As soon as they entered they found a huge lobby, decorated with gold and vermillion colors, chandeliers hanging from the ceilings, the extravagance of the place was out of bounds. After a series of twists and turns, the people all reached a place where Dawn said, "You wait here. I will tell my grandfather." 

Yang Dao nodded to her as she vanished behind a huge mahogany door. The boy spotted a lot of things carved on the mahogany door. After a few seconds, he smiled and said, "This is an interesting place, Sister Yun." 

Feng Yun was confused at first but after she followed his gaze, a smile surfaced on her face as she nodded. On the way to this place, they have come across a lot of servants and maids wandering in the palace lobbies. They all had one thing in common, the aura they gave off was very dauntless. 

Although they bowed to Dawn, they did not have any reverence in their eyes. This feeling made Yang Dao itchy. He could understand that the status Dawn had was because of her grandfather but why did the mortals have no respect for her in their eyes? The carvings on the door gave him the answer. 

The people of the fire nation, bender or not, had an innate arrogance within themselves. The boy had no complaints about it, but he wanted to know the reason why they all had such arrogance. The answer he got was that the people of the flame region came out as the victors of the great war that took place in the past. 

They were the strongest after the devastation and thus the arrogance. All this was carved on the doors in front of Yang Dao. The text in this world was not similar to what existed outside, but he could still understand the meaning of it thanks to some magical power of the world. 

The meaning of the carvings was that the one who stood tall at the end of it all was the strongest, since they are strong they can be arrogant. Yang Dao could agree with the first part of the inscription but not the second one. He did not think that the strong should be arrogant. 

They should be confident but everything must be within a limit. Just as he was immersed in his thoughts Dawn walked out of the room with a wry smile on her pretty face. She said, "Well, you see my grandfather is a warrior, and he said, he will meet you, but he will talk to you only after you duel with him. I tried to pursue him but he said he would like to play against someone who can control multiple elements."

Yang Dao did not mind, he had prepared himself for such a condition. He asked, "When is the duel to be held?" 

Dawn said, "It will be held in the evening, he is the king here. So every duel is about defending his throne. If he losses to you then you get to be the king of the flame region." as she said this she cast a wary gaze at Feng Yun. 

She did not know how strong was Yang Dao, as she did not see him attack but she knew that Feng Yun could defeat her grandfather. She was worried if this pretty lady took action what the outcome will be. Feng Yun sensed her gaze and said, "You can relax. Master will deal with your grandfather with ease. I will not interfere unless his life is in danger." 

Yang Dao shook his head and said, "Throwing me under the bus so soon?" 

Feng Yun only smiled. The connection between the two was better than the rest of the familiars he had been with, it could be because Feng Yun was the first to meet him and whenever she gazed at him, her eyes seemed to have nothing but dedication hidden within them. 

Laohu Bai was more like a playmate, but Feng Yun was his secret keeper. Dawn tilted her head and asked, "What is a bus?" 

The boy was surprised and said, "It is a public vehicle where we come from." 

The girl nodded and was about to ask something when Yang Dao asked, "Can you tell me what was that jade card you used earlier?" 

Dawn nodded and replied, "How about I take you to the place of your rest and explain on the way?" 

The two had no problem with it and nodded. Dawn took the lead, walking side by side with Yang Dao while Feng Yun followed half a step behind. The girl was their host so her status was equal to that of Yang Dao for the sake of protocol. The girl said, "The jade card you speak about was in fact a thin sheet of Rubika stone. That sheet contained a trace of my grandfather's fire essence. I could break it and use it for protection."

Yang Dao nodded. He found that in this place the source energy was called the essence. It was only normal for different worlds to have the same things called with different names.. That said, the people were led to a guest room to have a period of rest before the duel in a few hours.
