The myth begins with the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 25 Return
It's early morning again.

"Yu Yu Yu Lu refers to..." Yang Chan paused, and suddenly her face lit up, "I... have something to do, so I'll stop here for today."

Yang Chan turned around and walked hurriedly.

Ding Lin was stunned for a moment.

Soon after, he understood.

From the northern sky, a beam of light rushed by, as sharp as a knife, and in a flash, it was above Mount Huashan.

"Third sister!"

The man shouted.

The footsteps were fast and urgent, without stopping for a moment, accompanied by the sound of metal armor colliding, and they walked all the way to the courtyard. Then they stopped for a moment, turned their heads to look at the lotus pond, seemed a little surprised, and uttered a light "Huh".

Ding Lin recognized him immediately; it was Yang Jian. He immediately understood why Yang Chan had left in such a hurry.

Compared to the last time I saw him, Yang Jian now had an even more murderous aura.

Ding Lin swung his tail and dived into the water.

"Second brother."

A female voice came from the adjacent yard. Although she was trying hard to remain calm, the trembling at the end of the voice still revealed the excitement of the owner of the voice.

Yang Jian immediately turned his attention, a smile broke out on his face, and he turned around and walked towards the next yard.

But still a little slower.

The big yellow dog beside him was faster than him. Roaring Sky Dog wagged its tail and suddenly jumped out, making a whining sound from its mouth.

"Stop... Xiaotian Dog, stop making trouble. Second brother... go inside first."

"well!"

Yang Jian was overjoyed.

how many years.

I can hardly remember the last time I entered someone's house.

The injury this time was worth it!
The footsteps faded away.

Slowly, the sound at the bottom of the pool could no longer be heard...

……

There is an ancient pine tree planted in the inner courtyard behind the main hall. No one knows how long it has been growing, but its trunk is twisted and tall, like a canopy.

Under the canopy is a small pavilion.

Two cups of tea.

Yang Jian and Yang Chan sat opposite each other.

Under the ancient pine tree, Roaring Sky Dog was circling around the tree trunk, playing with himself and having a lot of fun.

"Third sister, let me tell you, this time on the battlefield in the North Sea, it is really extremely dangerous..."

Yang Jian was in high spirits and spoke incessantly to Yang Chan.

Yang Chan listened quietly.

From early morning to noon, and from noon to evening.

And then from evening to night.

Yang Jian's talkativeness decreased slightly.

"The war in the North Sea has come to an end for now, but it is definitely not over. Although the Northern Continent is remote, it is one of the four major continents after all. How can it allow the demons to occupy it for a long time?"

"What's more, the demon master Kunpeng has shown signs of fatigue this time. If it is just for the dignity of the Heavenly Court, I expect that there will be another war in the near future."

"We still need to fight..."

Yang Chan's face showed worry.

"Third sister, I am fine this time, and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I was promoted to a higher rank and was given the title of Little Saint."

Yang Chan was silent.

"Brother, I just hope you are safe."

After a long time, Yang Chan said softly.

“I know,” Yang Jian also fell silent. “Third sister, you know, I never really cared about these official titles. I just wanted to let that person see that what those born divine can do, ordinary people can do too. It was he who… made a mistake back then!”

Under the moonlight, Yang Jian gritted his teeth.

"Besides," Yang Jian looked at Yang Chan with gentle eyes, "What was it like when we first entered the Heaven Palace a few years ago, and what is the situation now, Chan'er," Yang Jian called out Yang Chan's nickname, "I know you don't care, but it doesn't matter what happens to me, my sister must not be wronged!"

Yang Chan remained silent. She turned her eyes slightly and looked at the dog under the ancient tree. The dog was tired from playing and lay down on the ground, yawning and scratching his head from time to time.

"Howling Sky Dog is the best. He is always so happy and has no worries."

Yang Chan smiled.

"It's just ignorance." Yang Jian's eyes were deep.

"Back then, our magic power was still weak, so we had no choice but to use the Spirit Awakening Technique to open his spiritual wisdom. Over the years, I have given him all kinds of elixirs and magic medicines, and his realm has increased, but his wisdom has never improved."

"correct."

Yang Jian suddenly seemed to think of something.

"Third sister, it's been a while since the evil spirit of the carp in your pond seems to be much stronger than the last time I saw it."

The smile on Yang Chan's face gradually faded.

"Third sister, let me tell you, this time..."

Seeing Yang Chan's look, Yang Jian quickly changed the subject.

Yang Chan just listened quietly.

The atmosphere seemed to have returned to what it was before.

Until early morning.

Another paragraph has been spoken.

After a short silence.

Yang Jian was about to say something else when Yang Chan spoke first.

"Second brother," Yang Chan said, "this trip to Beihai took a long time. I'm sure there are a lot of things piled up in Guanjiangkou, waiting for you to go back and deal with them."

"Third sister, I..."

Yang Jian smiled and opened his mouth, wanting to say something else, but when he met Yang Chan's gaze, he couldn't say anything.

"Then...I'll go back first and come back in a few days?"

Yang Jian said.

Yang Chan didn't say anything.

"Third sister, you know, that's not what I meant. I'm just happy to see you raising living things in the palace..."

"Why is there not even a single fairy or strongman in my palace?"

Yang Chan interrupted.

The half sentence Yang Jian hadn't finished was stuck in his stomach. He paused again and stammered to explain:
"Third sister, I... I am doing this for your own good. You are young and inexperienced, and I am afraid that you will end up like mother..."

There was silence for a while.

It seemed that he sensed that the atmosphere was not right.

Under the ancient pine tree, Roaring Sky Dog stopped lying there yawning. It stood up and looked at Yang Jian and Yang Chan. It wanted to go over but hesitated and didn't dare to get close.

"I'm not a child anymore, second brother. I'm over ten thousand years old."

Yang Chan said, she looked straight at Yang Jian.

"Besides, what do you mean…are you blaming Daddy?"

Yang Chan's eyes were red, and his memory of his father's appearance had become a little blurry, but the scene of him trembling and trying to stand in front of his wife and children was always clear and vivid, and would never fade.

"Third sister, I..."

Yang Jian opened his mouth and suddenly turned into a punctured ball.

"That's not what I meant. Daddy..."

Yang Jian's voice also sounded lonely.

"Which man in this world can compare to our father... I'm just afraid... I'm afraid you've been deceived..."

There was another moment of silence.

A gust of wind blew, and a few pine needles fell from the treetops, embedding themselves in the cracks of the bluestone slabs, hiding their sharp edges.

The morning light is somewhat dazzling.

Yang Chan closed her eyes.

"Second brother, I'm tired."

Yang Chan's voice was very soft.

Yang Jian clenched his teeth, his cheeks were tense, and it took a long time for him to relax. He exhaled deeply.

"Roaring Sky Dog."

Yang Jian called out.

When the dog heard the call, it thought everything was over, and it trotted over, wagging its tail and sticking out its tongue to please.

"Return to the mouth of the river!"
