"That's how it happened" Tao Yuhan said at length, the story of last night's events was finally finished as well.
Li Yao listened to Tao Yuhan's story intently. After Deng Xue appeared, Tao Yuhan suddenly released the grip of her hand from Huli's hand.
More or less what happened after that, Huli immediately rushed to hug Deng Xue's feet very tightly. At that time Tao Yuhan still insisted on taking Huli with her.
However, Huli refused. The girl even uttered various words to vilify Tao Yuhan. After several hours of trying to persuade Huli, Tao Yuhan finally gave up.
Tao Yuhan realized that it was impossible to bring Huli, either by words or by force. If Tao Yuhan forced to bring Huli, the little girl would most likely have escaped, especially when Tao Yuhan was not watching her.
If so, then Tao Yuhan would have to look for him again. That's a very troublesome thing.
Having no choice or lazy to take responsibility, Tao Yuhan decided to let Huli stay with Deng Xue.
Has Tao Yuhan forgotten his promise to Huli's mother? No one knows. Though Tao Yuhan has been given a very valuable stealth gem.
How could Tao Yuhan make that irresponsible decision? Although Tao Yuhan seemed shameless, it seemed like the decision to let Huli stay with Deng Xue was the best decision.
"after that? Is that all you do? Brother didn't make trouble, did he?" li Yao asked somewhat anxiously, he was worried about the matter that Tao Yuhan had made after getting out of the place.
"I just beat up one annoying bald young man, he reminded me of that bald bunch back then." Tao Yuhan answered easily.
Li Yao let out a long breath, hopefully there is no problem. Over the next few days, Li Yao settled in the Tao Yuhan residence to recover himself.
***
Four days later, Tao Zhen went to the forest behind the sect to visit Tao Yuhan. Usually Tao Zhen did visit his daughter once every week.
This time Tao Zhen had another reason while visiting Tao Yuhan, which was that he wanted to see how Li Yao was doing now. Back then Li Yao's state was really severe. Tao Zhen thought the injuries Li Yao suffered would definitely interfere with his cultivation development.
But that thought turned out to be wrong.
As Tao Zhen looked at Li Yao's state directly, he could see and feel that Li Yao's body was recuperating. Li Yao had indeed not healed yet, but the injuries that could interfere with his cultivation had mostly improved.
"How are third level disciples? Are they lounging while I'm not around?" li Yao asked casually to the Sect Chief of the Mountain Road, Tao Zhen.
"As long as you're not there, they keep training very hard." Tao Zhen replied with a smile.
They talked for about an hour. Tao Yuhan was there with them, but the girl did not speak when she was not asked a question.
Tao Yuhan is.
"There is something I want to show you," Tao Zhen suddenly said in a mysterious voice.
"Follow me!"
Inside the room, Li Yao saw half his room in the morning by the iron bars, the walls were even fitted with many chains and handcuffs lying on the floor. Like a prison, in the iron bars there is a mattress that is usually used by Tao Yuhan to sleep.
A young girl shouldn't be living in such a room. How could Tao Zhen prepare a prison-like room for his daughter?
Moreover, after Li Yao noticed, the metal that was in that place was no ordinary metal. It was a metal that was usually used to create heirlooms.
Without giving any explanation at all, Tao Zhen shifted the carpet on the floor and pulled out an iron handle. The road leading underground suddenly opened.
Once again Tao Zhen invited them to follow him, descending through the stairs to a room that was underground. Li Yao and Tao Yuhan followed him without asking
"I should have shown it to you earlier, but back then I couldn't trust you yet" Tao Zhen said, after they reached his secret room.
The room was dark.
Tao Zhen quickly turned on some of the lanterns in the room. Several spots of fire appeared, illuminating all corners of the room with dim lighting.
In the middle of the room, Li Yao saw a three meter tall stone inscription. The inscription has five sides, on each side there are thin scratches that string together various words.
It was a stone inscription created by Li Yao, containing the First to Sixth Chapter Heavenly Road Art. The inscription Li Yao was looking for when he first arrived at the Mountain Road Sect.
Apparently all this time the Sect Chief and the Elders had been hiding it in this place.
"When you first got there, didn't you?" dao Zhen said as he stroked the rough surface of the rock.
"So the Chairman's been hiding it here all along? I think Coach Gao Ming has really gotten rid of him" Li Yao joked a little.
Now it all makes sense. Ever since seeing Tao Yuhan master the Heaven's Path Art, Li Yao had already guessed that the stone inscriptions he wrote were being hidden.
"This stone inscription was written by the founder of our sect using his sword. As you can see, at each beginning of the stone is written a guide to learning the Art of the Heavenly Road. From the first to the fifth chapter" explained Tao Zhen.
Li Yao's head shook his head slowly, actually this stone inscription contained a guide to studying the First to Sixth Chapter's Heavenly Road Art. The sixth chapter can only be learned after combining the writing on the five sides of the beginning of the stone.
"There are nine chapters in the Heaven's Path Art. I don't know why the founder only wrote until the fifth chapter, there must be a reason" continued Tao Zhen.
If it was calculated shortly before Li Yao's death, then the Heavenly Road Art now had ten chapters.
"You're a genius and you're still very young. I know you've studied the Heaven's Path Art, but it won't be enough." Tao Zhen looked at Li Yao with a hopeful glow within his eyeballs.
"This inscription will definitely help you greatly to master the Art of the Heavenly Road. Now that I have allowed you, you are free to learn the Heavenly Road Art from the stone inscriptions written directly by the founder."
Li Yao smiled at Tao Zhen's statement, surely Tao Zhen thought that Li Yao only mastered two or three chapters. That thought was understandable, because Tao Zhen did not know that Li Yao was the creator of the Heavenly Road Art.
He was the founder of the Heavenly Road Sect.
