Screech!
An eagle's cry rang out from the sky.
Hearing the warning, Yang Xuan looked down at the ground and saw a pack of demon wolves hunting a woman.
Spiritual light shimmered around the woman, blocking several lunges from the wolves as she fled through the mountains in a sorry state.
"Those wolf pups from Ninth Brother's family have no sense of rules at all. If Azure Cloud Temple finds out they ate people, they'll definitely be driven out of Green Cloud Mountain!"
Yang Xuan gave a sharp whistle, and the Golden Eagle immediately dove downward.
Sensing the approach of a great demon, the wolves abandoned their pursuit of the woman and scattered in howling panic.
Sitting cross-legged on the eagle's back, Yang Xuan said, "Miss, the mountains are full of demon beasts. You should leave quickly."
Yang Si knew that a cultivator's appearance did not reveal their age. She bowed and saluted. "My parents live in the mountains. Could Immortal Master please take this junior there?"
Yang Xuan asked, "Who are your parents?"
"Yang Jin and Zhao Yao!"
"..."
A moment later.
The Golden Eagle landed in the courtyard. Yang Xuan leapt down and called out loudly.
"Father, Mother, look who's here!"
Zhao Yao came out of the house. The moment she saw Yang Si, she stood frozen for a long while before tears suddenly streamed down her face. When she had left, she had still been a young maiden. In the blink of an eye, she had become a middle-aged woman.
"Si Si!"
"Mother."
Yang Si rushed over and embraced Zhao Yao. So many years had passed, yet time had not left the slightest trace on her mother's face.
The two embraced, and anyone unaware of the truth would have thought Yang Si was the elder.
At that
