The host told people they canceled the event because they sold insurance. This explanation made people even angrier. The host suddenly started laughing and said, "Alright, calm down. I was just messing around with you people."
The people complained to the host to pull such pranks over them. The host then spoke, "Everyone event will start after half an hour. In the meantime, I just wanted to relax you all a bit mentally. Also, I will now announce the top three qualifiers of the race, in the third position among the qualifiers we have participant number 83, the second place is taken over by participant number 65, and the first qualifier is participant number 90. Please have a good rest, the race will start quickly."
Yang Dao shook his head. He glanced at his coach and asked, "Sir, can I have my mobile? I need to call over my sister."
The coach passed him the phone. Before the qualifier, Yang Dao handed his phone to him for safekeeping. The boy took the phone, made the call to Feng Yun. He did not tell her he was the first ranker in the qualifiers. Feng Yun also did not tell him that the reason the canceled event resumed again was that she said 'Hello' to the event organizer and the company behind it.
The organizing company wanted to end the event after qualifiers. They wanted to convey that life was unexpected and that having insurance can save people, but suddenly the president called and said that they will hold the race. The host had already announced the cancellation and thus the awkward cover-up. Also, how did Feng Yun found out that they were canceling the event?
Are you kidding me? This woman possibly knows everything about every company in the city. How can she not look into something her Young Master was taking part in? And what work can she possibly have when she took a two-day off? Who dares to disturb this woman?
So after the call, Yang Dao took a sip or two of water from the bottle latched on his bike. The organizer called for all the qualified participants to stand in front of the start line in the order to their ranks. They were also asked to follow a Yellow car this way it will be easier to navigate. The main event was a 20-kilometer course, 10 kilometers of which were steep climb.
Before Yang Dao headed toward the starting line, Feng Yun arrived. She wore a white t-shirt, blue jeans with red flowers embroidered on the thigh, paired with white sneakers. She had a mask on her face. She sneaked beside Yang Dao and patted him on the shoulder. Yang Dao had already sensed her presence. He asked, "Sister Yun, no security?"
Feng Yun shook her head. She had sunglasses on her face. Also, her natural charm was hidden somehow. Yang Dao was sure that if not for their spiritual bond. He would have missed her in the crowd, just like any other passer-by. The boy said, "I am going. Bye-bye."
Feng Yun gave his shoulder a light pinch and said, "Bye-bye. I will watch from the sides." Yang Dao was about to walk away when Ayaka Gust walked up and said, "Student Dao, I am not very good but if possible, try to preserve some energy before the descend. All the best."
Yang Dao replied to her with a thank you. After waving to Feng Yun, he pushed his bike and merged with the crowd. Ayaka glanced at Feng Yun and extended her hand to her with a smile, "Hello, I am Ayaka Gust. Nice to meet you."
Feng Yun took the hand and said, "Hello, my name is Feng Yun. I am Yang Dao's elder sister."
Ayaka tilted her head in confusion, "You two have different surnames."
Feng Yun chuckled lightly and said, "His full name is Feng Yang Dao. But we just call him Yang Dao or Dao."
Ayaka immediately apologized, "I apologize. I was just confused at this. I had no other meanings."
The girls mingled for a bit, and Feng Yun was led to the spot where all the Jade City University cycling club members were gathered. At this moment they all had slightly tensed expressions on their faces. Ayaka asked, "What happened?"
Felix pointed towards some people with cameras in their hands. Ayaka shook her head and said, "Isn't this regular? calm Down."
Thomas replied, "Not normal, they will definitely look into Dao's information and we don't want that to happen. Dao will be our trump in the annual racing event, but this will ruin it."
Feng Yun replied to him in a faint voice, "They cannot scout young master. The reason is that his helmet is equipped with a distortion sensor. The pictures will be blurred always. So don't worry."
Thomas and the others recognized Feng Yun's voice. They all hurriedly bowed to her like a junior would, "We have seen senior Feng Yun."
Feng Yun found that today these guys were more disciplined than yesterday. She nodded to them, her gaze then shifted to Yang Dao, who stood in the pack's front and listening to the instructions of the judge. While Ayaka slipped to stand behind Thomas and asked, "Oye, Tom. Tell me about Feng Yun."
She spoke in a very low voice, Thomas shook his head and took out his phone directly searched the net for Feng Yun and the results were handed over to Ayaka directly the girl stood there in a daze. Actually, she forgot the fact that Yang Dao owns Silence. That is why she did not link Feng Yun to the phoenix group.
Soon, the race started and Yang Dao was given a 10-second head start. The boy did not waste it, and he rushed immediately. His speed was very high. The people shook their heads. Only the Jade University camp was silent.
Ayaka asked, "Did you guys wish him luck before he went out?"
Felix said, "Dao, need luck?" his tone was filled with confusion.
Ayaka asked, "What do you mean?"
Thomas said, "This guy can climb Ruby Mountains in 30 minutes, with an average speed of 50kph. Does he need luck? Just pray that the other people are not too far behind." although he said this, he kept his voice low after all people will gossip and it was not good for them to offend such a big crowd.
Ayaka shook her head in disbelief. She could not believe what they all said. It was too exaggerated. She gave up on talking to these people and focused her gaze on the telecast screen. Yang Dao was leading, and he was quick. The leading car had to keep up with his speed or if he passed them, then he would be lost in the urban jungle.
Yang Dao was at ease he would only speed up when someone tried to catch up to him. This scene was witnessed by everyone on the sidelines and they started talking about how long can this guy hole.
A rich guy even organized a bet where they would gamble on how long before Yang Dao would have to quit or give up the lead. The odds were high as well. So Thomas and Felix took up the bet they betted on him winning. The people thought they were mad or just had too much money.
But they knew better. The organizer started sweating when Yang Dao took the sprint checkpoint. Even after the bit entered the climb, his speed did not decrease by much and he held on to the lead. The second place was trying his all to catch up to him. Unfortunately, he was just over-exerting himself and got caught in Yang Dao's pace.
The guy had to call it quits when he was 3 kilometers in the mountains. The people who were cheering on number two were devastated. It was a blow to them to think that their idol lost to a boy. Yang Dao was young and growing, while this person was already at the peak of his youth. Disappointment can not be cured.
Some people heard that the boy in the lead was called Yang Dao. Soon, this news spread like a wildfire and people started chanting his name. The chants grew stronger as the boy neared the mountain checkpoint.
DAO! DAO! DAO! DAO!
Feng Yun raised her chin a bit more when she heard the chants. She understood why was Yang Dao putting so much effort as he rode today. This was because he wanted to make her proud. He wanted to tell her that all her care is not wasted. He wanted to show her he will not let her down and become a stain on her name and prestige.
She was happy before, but now she was exhilarating. A warm feeling rose from the depth of her soul. She opened her eyes in there was a spark in there. The girl was about to advances to another level in her cultivation. This change was triggered by her bond deepening with Yang Dao.
