The orange-red afterglow of the setting sun, reflected in the clouds, dyed the sky a beautiful golden hue.
An Azure Sparrow Cloud Boat cut through the clouds, arriving above the Phoenix Creek Sect's mountain gate.
Then, under the direction of an Outer Sect Deacon, it slowly descended.
On the ground, Hong Yuan watched as his Master Lin Daoyan and Zhu Wushang stepped off the Azure Sparrow Cloud Boat, a smile spreading across his face.
He, Lin Yiru, and Yue'er quickly stepped forward to meet them.
"Master, Senior Brother..."
"Daddy, Wushang..."
"Grandmaster, Third Martial Uncle..."
Cries of greeting rose up, warmly calling out to Lin Daoyan and Zhu Wushang.
Lin Daoyan's eyes crinkled with a smile. Seeing Yue'er all grown up, he found himself momentarily lost in thought.
It was because he had just glimpsed a shadow of his late disciple, Mo Jiuyou, in Yue'er.
"Master, what's the matter?" Hong Yuan supported Lin Daoyan, asking softly.
